No, definitely not.

It was a long time ago, I think it was last season.

I'm sure if you google it will come up, but it really isn't even that important.

Tried to google it but everything is about the recent stuff. Don't care enough to set date filters and look.

Don't want to hear any Seahawk fans talking shit about this. At least Dak is winning with his offense and not defense.

Not talking shit, but Wilson just threw for 373 yards and 4 TDs with his Girl Scout O line. The defense let Seattle down yesterday.

But Seattle has a great defense.

At least that's what I've been told.

History agrees. This was 1 game.

Sure, Wilson will have his days and can throw. But to hear a SEA fan talking down at Dak about him not putting up throwing numbers, being a game manager essentially, is stupid.

No I didn't. If you did I'd love to see a link of it.

It was last September 2016. Longer than I thought.

"Jerry Jones, Owner of the Dallas Cowboys called a meeting with all of his Coaches, Players and field staff and firmly told them, "You are all simply paid performers on a stage and that field is my stage! You will stand, with your hand over your heart and with respect, when our Country's National Anthem is being played or you will no longer be a Dallas Cowboy, a Coach for the Dallas Cowboys or have any association with the Dallas Cowboy Organization! I will immediately fire you, no matter who you are!"

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

He did. Came out late last year and said he'd fire any player that took a knee.

I'm sure Stephen roped him in tho. I've been saying this for the last 5 or 6 years now - Stephen Jones is the guy actually running the Cowboys, not Jerry. He's been slowly ceding power for a decade now.

What I find amusing.......just like we discussed earlier - people still booed even tho they took the knee well before the anthem was played. It just doesn't matter, people are going to dislike it period.

Jerry Jones never threatened to kick players off Cowboys if they didn't stand for national anthem

Editor's note: This story was originally published Oct. 7, 2016. We're bringing it back after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted a fake news item that revived the false claim of a quote that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in fact never said.

Doug Baldwin's assertion on HBO earlier this week that an NFL owner told his players to stand during the national anthem because "this is my stage" can be traced back to an inaccurate internet report attributed to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
The Seattle receiver didn't name Jones, but the phrase echoes part of a manufactured quote that was attached to Jones and circulated primarily on Facebook last month. Multiple sources told The Dallas Morning News at the time that Jones never made those or other alleged comments and the episode as described never happened.
Snopes, which bills itself as the definitive internet reference source for urban legends, folk lore, myths, rumors and misinformation put it in the category of fake news and noted the statements were incorrectly attributed to Jones.
The hoax didn't end there. Later versions of the post attached those fabricated quotes to Clark Hunt, CEO and owner of the Kansas City Chiefs.

too bad

for once in my life I was rooting for Jerruh



no so much anymore

 

[DJ]

How has he done w/out a running game? He was struggling early on when they didn't get the running game going... Time will tell...

PDay always shows up when it's convenient for him.

Did they all stand during the anthem?

Never happened:

Despite viral post, Jerry Jones never said he would fire players for not standing during anthem

[DirtDirtDirt]

Bruce Arians is awful, his offense blows, his usage of that review was worse

 

[jarntt]

I think JJ agreed to have the team kneel, as a team prior to the start of the national anthem. Good move my JJ. Keeps everyone happy. Wish more teams took this approach.
Damn can't believe I gave props to JJ and the Cowboys

Best job all weekend by any team, bar none. I loved what the Cowboys did. When I heard they were going to kneel I admit I wasn't happy, but wasn't surprised either based on everything else going on this weekend and Jerry's desire to be the topic of conversation. The kneeling at midfield pre-Anthem and then standing for the Anthem was awesome. But, I refuse to believe it was Jerry's idea because it was too smart. Even if it was I'll pretend it wasn't because I just can't give him credit for it...

I believe Jerry would have fired a coach but I don't believe he would cut a player....or a starter anyway. If Ezekiel Elliot or Dak Prescott did not stand I am 100% certain that he would not cut them.

It annoys me and I find it disrespectful for anyone to refuse to stand for the national anthem. I think any protest for the anthem or flag is completely wrong. It would never happen in my house. If you are a guest in my home and disrespect the flag or anthem I will ask you to leave. It is my right to do so.

However.......as a veteran who served for 10 years I understand the individual right to do this. I served to protect the first ammendment. I may not like it but I accept and understand it an American's fundamental right to do so.

Your House?...LOL...I'm picturing one of your neighbors coming over to watch football and just before the start of the game getting up off the couch to kneel for the National Anthem and then you grabbing 'em by the collar and throwing 'em out onto the front lawn..."And Stay Out!!!"
