Randy Galloway's Description of A Jerry Jones-Johnny Manziel Hook-Up Nothing Short of Classic

 

 

 

 

Johnny Manziel and Jerry Jones in the same town? What a wild ride that would be. Here's Randy Galloway's take from earlier in the month:
"Jerry and Johnny? That, friends, is the perfect pig-and-slop combo. If you think it’s nuts around Va...lley Ranch now ... Jerry and Johnny out there loose on local streets would be a Twitter tsunami. Forget high school in Kerrville. Forget his Aggies days. Johnny was born to play for Jerry."

The scary part about that is Galloway is right. Johnny was born to play for Jerry.

The Best Friend Quincy Carter Ever Had

Driving the bus for Bill Parcells

Life had been difficult for Quincy Carter after being released by the Dallas Cowboys in August of 2004.  He signed with the New York Jets later that fall, and started three games before missing a playoff game due to personal reasons.

Trouble with the Jets, too.

 As it turns out, Carter had been re-admitted to a drug-treatment center, a place, so it was discovered, Carter had been shortly before his release from the Cowboys.

Out of the NFL, Carter landed a gig with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League in April 2006, but was released a month later.

That December he had found his way back to Irving, though he could have done without the publicity that involved it.  To put it bluntly, Carter was in jail, suspected of carrying under two ounces of marijuana, a class B misdemeanor.  Bail had been set at $500.  But nobody posted.

Not, that is, until Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Randy Galloway heard about it later that afternoon and decided to give Carter a break.  So he called Cowboy Bail Bonds in Garland and gave them his credit card number, setting the troubled Carter free.

“It’s Christmas, and I’ve certainly been very harsh with Quincy on the radio over the years because of what has happened to him off the field,” Galloway said.  “That was a Christmas gift.”

A gift that surprised Galloway, who never envisioned Carter staying in jail for a full 12 hours.  “I wondered where all his friends with the Cowboys were,” Galloway said.

In response to Galloway’s query, those “friends” of Carter’s were too engulfed by Romomania and the newly-unveiled plans for an Arlington mosque now known as JerryWorld to take time out for a former quarterback down on his luck.

Truly, there’s no place like home.

Jerry Jones’ Flashback: Not Throwback, But Throw It Back - Randy Galloway

 Jerry Jones’ public profile was looking unusually golden after giving Bill Parcells complete control of Valley Ranch.  But when Jones got behind a microphone a few short months later, his old self reappeared.

The Jerry Jones reclamation project – he’s done an amazing job lately of restoring his own shattered-into-tiny-pieces NFL image – hit one minor glitch this week.

Forget the Lebron James throwback jersey controversy that became a national debate.

Around here, many e-mailers became extremely concerned about a throwback Jerry.

This Jones quote from Monday’s sports section caused a bit of panic in the streets:  “As we are sitting here right now, I’m expecting Quincy to be back.  I don’t know that a veteran quarterback can beat Quincy out.”

That’s definitely something the old Jerry would have said.

When it comes, however, to the current quarterback situation, that’s obviously something for Big Bill to decide.  And Big Bill alone.

Actually, anything involving football personnel is now Big Bill’s domain based on public perception, Big Bill’s reputation, the franchise’s dismal track record for nearly a decade, and, of course, common sense.

Poll all local precincts, and the vote will be overwhelming for Big Bill being large and in charge.  But for most of his six weeks on the job, Parcells has remained in his Valley Ranch bunker, attempting to figure out exactly what to do with this mess.

Jerry Jones’ Devious Nature Surfaces Again - Randy Galloway

That Jerry Jones had lost patience with Dave Campo as a head coach was obvious to all, as the Cowboys headed down the stretch of the 2002 season destined for a third consecutive 5-11 season.  That Jones’ courting of Bill Parcells was also well known was accentuated by Jones’ stubborn belief that it was not.  Here is another classic example of Jones’ poor attempts at subterfuge in the face of a coaching change.

If you were reading the sports page Friday, then you saw it.  Saw an instant winner in the category of “Biggest Lie of the Week.”

By the way, our liar’s contest is restricted to the jock kingdom.  I cannot be held responsible for monitoring the comments of political windbags or corporate CEOs.

But a “source” passed along this heartwarming information for Friday morning publication:  “Out of respect for Dave Campo, there had been no contact all week between Jerry Jones and Bill Parcells.”......................................................................................
