Good call. I started this thread initially to mock Michael Irvin's stupid reality show, but it pleasantly snowballed into a "mock the cowboys for their circus of a football team" thread.

And it continues...

More news from Jerry's Circus. Apparently it's gag order time.

JERRY JONES TURNS TUNA WITH HIS TEAM

Posted by Mike Florio on February 21, 2009, 9:44 a.m.

This is one of the stories that we had on our list on Friday, just before the hamster was Kevorkianed. We’d then forgotten all about it, until we saw a quick mention of it on ESPN’s SportsCenter.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones apparently has informed his employees that they’re not permitted to talk about the team.
Though Jones has not yet acknowledged such an addition to the official employee handbook, the evidence comes from coach Wade Phillips, who declined to speak with reporters as he arrived in Indianapolis for the Scouting Combine.
“Can’t talk,” Phillips told reporters. “Against the rules.”
The sudden lock-down approach by an owner who grins whenever the word “Cowboy” is uttered by the media (even when it’s in reference to actual cowboys) indicates the extent of the crisis that currently is afflicting Valley Ranch.
In our view, Jones believes that he’s losing control of the situation surrounding his team. So issuing a proclamation of this nature provides him with a superficial sense that he’s still in charge.
It also suggests that he no longer thinks that any publicity is good publicity.
From a legal standpoint, the new rule might provide Jones with sufficient evidence to block a buyout if he were to develop evidence that Phillips or offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, each of whom earn more than $3 million per year, had violated the decree.
And while the approach copies one of the primary components of the Bill Parcells approach to running a football team, the Tuna’s “one voice” system usually designates the head coach as the one voice.
As to the Cowboys, apparently the “one voice” until further notice will be Jones himself.
We used to scoff at the suggestions that Jones will someday install himself as the head coach. Though we still don’t think it’s a realistic possibility, we no longer are scoffing.
