This is my comical way of edutaining my audience on how Jerry Jones operates large scale with media and players' contracts.

OVER THE CAP

Most Cowboys fans are still fuming at the fact we did not draft an RB in Detroit. I get it. Before the KING’s services were retained in Baltimore this NFL free agency MASS MEDIA had him pegged in Dallas. After all, he recently purchased a home and was working out in the area.

I knew right off the bat this is not Jerral’s style to chase any player in free agency. Let alone an RB after we witnessed the league further devalue the position thanks to a more pass-friendly wagering league.

The departure of Tony Pollard from the Cowboys to reunite with his family at Pollard’s BBQ in Memphis, TN made sense for him and his family. Furthermore signaling a need for the Cowboys to draft an RB in Detroit.

Starting from humble beginnings, Pollard’s was first established as a mobile catering business in 1995. As the demand for our unique southern style of Memphis BBQ grew, Pollard’s reopened on October 7th, 1996 as a small carry-out catering business. Shelby Drive and Boeingshire became the location for one of Memphis’ best-kept secrets for more than a decade.

Weeks later the KING came out and shared the Cowboys “Never Called Me!” statement after securing his services with the Ravens. Cowboys fans were LIVID! Why would we not at least bring him in and kick his crown over a cup of coffee…
