What He Said

“Let’s just say this, the decision is made a lot of times … the agreements call for the GM ultimately to make decisions. If not, the only one that can overrule the GM is the owner. Period. And that’s always been the way it’s been for 20 years.” (Jerry's answer  to Richie Whitt's question of whether it was ultimately the head coach's call to demote a player.)

What He Meant

“I am the chief cook and bottle washer around here. This is my team. I am the owner, the GM, and the de facto coach. Wade understands this. Why can’t you?”

What I Think About What He Said

Scary for all Cowboys’ fans.

What I Think About What He Meant

Makes me feel a bit…hopeless.
