More quotes by Jerry Jones
There are a lot of people with money, but not with the passion to really go spend it.
Jerry Jones
It's kind of like...with our own checking accounts, just because it's in there doesn't mean you should spend it or can spend it. You know that you have the rent coming.
Jerry Jones
And I completely am one of the most sensitive in that area as far as the NFL is concerned.
Jerry Jones
Only 7 percent of NFL fans have ever been inside an NFL stadium. Seven... have ever been inside. So the NFL is certainly about the Colosseum of Rome. It can't be a studio game.
Jerry Jones
You don't see young men walk out and say, Hey, let's go knock the [stuff] out of each other. You say, Let's hit some grounders. Let's play catch. Let's shoot some baskets.
Jerry Jones
Other sports culminate at different times of the year, but the NFL is in the fourth quarter - that's where the money is.
Jerry Jones
But if you look at teams that want to share more revenues, they're teams that don't have a lot on the table. They've long since not had any serious investment in their team.
Jerry Jones
You talk about the [armed] service teaches you how to depend on each other, the service makes you aware of the common good and strips that down. Guys who go into service get to have that. But that's a high price to pay in this day and time with going into service.
Jerry Jones
I grew up with great coaching, and it had nothing to do with sports. I had great parents. I really got some great input from there. They were entrepreneurial, middle-class business people.
Jerry Jones
I take a good feeling away from what football brings.
Jerry Jones
I have never had a problem dealing in areas of ambiguity. I can make a decision and not have it all lined up just right.
Jerry Jones
I could hire every producer in Hollywood - 2,000 producers, let's say - and they couldn't come up with all the soap operas, in season and out of season, that NFL programming gives television.
Jerry Jones
I promise you that during my life, I was more concerned about not letting people down, about doing my part, than I was ever into what it did for me. That is one of the great things about sports, and frankly, football really does instill that.
Jerry Jones
We have long moved away from some of the principles of law as to what is fair and equitable in the United States. We all see every day that's debatable, 50-50 in almost all cases.
Jerry Jones
If people have the ability to see it, and you spend the money to put the wow factor into it, they will reward that entity or that team or that business, and they will then say they appreciate me, they appreciate what I'm about, and they will support it.
Jerry Jones
We are continuing to look for ways that we can do something that's good for both of us. Good for both of us being the Cowboys relative to relief as to our cap management and good for him that would maybe be some pluses for him on his contract.
Jerry Jones
Anybody involved in sports in Missouri knows it's a great sports state. It is a great sports state, particularly in basketball and baseball. Particularly. Not to demean football, but it's a baseball state and a basketball state.
Jerry Jones
Y'all should come to Cowboys Stadium and watch us beat the Giants' asses.
Jerry Jones
The NFL is in premium interest time, in the fourth quarter [of the business year] when you have Thanksgiving, Christmas, and that's when we try to get the most decision-makers in front of the television, in the fourth quarter.
Jerry Jones
The part of football you don't see with all the buddies I ever had, we might have gone out and thrown some passes, but we never went out to knock the hell out of each other just to do it. You do that when the time comes to push the ball downfield or keep it from going down the field. That's why I think football has a great place.
Jerry Jones
