The difference with John Mara & Jerry Jones last night

Sean : 11/24/2014 9:58 pm
I actually got a kick out of this last night. Every time the camera showed Jerry Jones he was in a suite with a bunch of other people enjoying the game. When the camera showed John Mara he looked to be in an empty press box with nothing around him watching the game like a hawk.

I just found it funny, and I'm sure Mara is in full blown evaluation mode.
I am sure Jerry is always in evaluation mode too..

remember, he is also the GM. However, he is also a media whore
Jones

needs people to clean his glasses and get him his juice
The opinion

of most people on this site regarding Jones and Mara is curious. For all his bluster, Jones happens to be a wildly successful, self made billionaire. Mara was handed a team by his father, who was handed a team by his father. Same thing, by the way, with our other owners, minus the grandfather.
Good thing you left Steve Tisch

Don't forget smoochie time with Tisch and his lady friend....
That is the way Mara has always watched the games

Dating back to the old stadium. By himself in his press box. Guy lives and dies with this team and does not get enough credit for the kind of owner he is.

This..remember him talking about how he watches games.. wants to be by self. remember him also talking about one of the super bowls having to leave booth at times because too nervous to watch.
it had to happen

just a bit on the Horatio Alger theme for Jerry. His father owned an insurance firm whose value Jerry later leverage into starting the energy exploration company which most of his fortune comes from.
If there was anything interesting about it,

The diffference is

that Jones is self made and Mara is not.
one looks

like skeletor and the other looks like a normal man?
the flak given to Jones here is way overdone  
nyynyg : 11/25/2014 8:49 am : link
the guy is a fine owner. the major disagreement people have with him is that he wants to be GM of his team. that's it.

he runs his organization just like Mara.

there was no difference in how either of them watch the game. they were both watching the game with intent interest.

Actually, the worst part about Jones was how he wanted to mess with the revenue sharing aspect of the game for personal gain. For decades the Maras promoted revenue sharing even though as a NY team they could have made a lot more with a less equal plan. Jones came in and in his megalomaniacal way tried to pump up Dallas for personal gain (and because he paid a shitload for the team). There's a reason his stadium is so over the top, stadium revenues are not shared (or at a lower rate, I forget), so Jerruh keeps more. This is part of why the Maras never liked him and the "arrogance humbled" comment years ago. The Maras -- for whatever their faults -- helped build the league and Jerry wants mostly to take. He's not alone, other owners like this method of maximizing local profits and see him as a leader in this area. But the point is, he's a dickhead. Wait, what was the topic again?
part of the whole Jones "aura"

just has to do with him being a douche (such as with the issue of revenue sharing). But a LOT of the blame for this is with the various directors of the televised games who INSIST on cutting to Jones after a dallas score. It has to be the most un-original and downright stupid thing they can do. "Well, hell, everyone else cuts to Jones after a score, so we better do it!". And what the hell could possibly be interesting or the least bit surprising about a shot of ANY owner?..."We need to show the viewers whether Jones is happy after a score". Assholes!
