Yeah day off from the tough stuff
today for the Cowboys out in Oxnard,
meaning it's also a day off from the tough
stuff for our team coverage out West.
Sort of. I guess you could say day seven
of work for my good buddy Nate Ryan will
bring him up relatively rejuvenated.
Got a little color in his face,
took a good nap, went out on the beach,
tanned a little bit. He's back,
got some sleep right, looks good.
A little bit a little bit, Casey yeah,
but back to business here tonight
to cap our trip in California.
We talk with the President,
the owner, the general manager.
He is the Dallas Cowboys.
Jerry Jones is one of the most
polarizing figures in all of sports.
And just months before his 80th birthday,
the pressure mounting to deliver
on his Super Bowl promise
and he knows it too. I gotta
ask you to start out.
I've been here for about a week now.
No divisional win since 1995,
but still every year the Dallas
Cowboys dominate the headlines.
I spoke with a man who's from
Mexico City on the sideline.
Earlier the national brand
from a business standpoint,
how have you been able to sustain it?
Well, first of all, coming to California
is a good place to start because it
creates the issue of the geographics
of America's team.
And this is the entertainment
capital of the world and you
get a lot of visibility.
Here in California we went
to San Antonio for years,
but it creates a certain geographic
interest that gives us generational
fans and all those places.
And you mentioned San Antonio.
Now you mentioned it earlier in the week.
I missed San Antonio.
Could you see yourself?
Maybe moving training camp back there down
the road? Well,
54% of Mexican fans in the United
States or vicarious to Dallas fans.
And I'm really proud of that.
And we want to continue.
Of what we've always done,
and that is show the affinity,
because when we do that in Mexico
we endear ourselves more to our
Mexican fans of the United States
and you talk about the Mexican
fans being in in the larger part
in that San Antonio market.
Well, they're San Antonio,
but San Antonio has a perception
that this is a great Mexican heritage
area of the United States and the
Cowboys want to be a part of that
now transitioning to on the field.
So much more sure, how difficult
is it for you to stay patient?
Because we all see you up in your box.
Time is running out but
patient through these years,
continuing to chip away to try
and achieve Super Bowl success.
Well, first of all,
I know the team that we have and I
know that we've had a handful of teams
that maybe have gotten another Super Bowl.
That's number one, but that's not enough.
You've got to win it.
You've got to have it to put it up
against your five Super Bowls that we have.
More importantly than anything.
Am in sanitized by the fact that
we have not done it and so it it
really creates an urgency that
it makes you want to prove it.
This patients waiver ever on the
point of desperation at any point?
Well, I don't think I would
think you're patient if you're
continuing to be aggressive,
and I would argue with anybody that
the Dallas Cowboys by Carlos to Dallas
has been anything but aggressive.
And imaginative over the last
30-40 years as a sports franchise.
Do you ever find yourself second
guessing yourself, making decisions every
time, all the time? Why is that?
And I have to work on my confidence. I make
a lot of mistakes.
I'm buoyed by the fact that anybody
I've ever talked to it's ever done.
Anything makes a lot of mistakes.
You try to cut off your bad
ones as quick as you can.
Your decisions and that
your good ones run long.
And so nobody gets to
say it right every time,
but you can when you get a
good when you can run it,
that's like a whole opening off
off tackle and you run that thing
through there until they shut it up.
As the team lives, it dies each season
by the man in charge. Jerry Jones,
who again knows that pressure mounting,
trying to win a divisional playoff
game for the first time since 95,
and guys that is the perfect way to conclude
our trip in Cali here from where else?
That's where the vampires walked down
through the valley Ventura Blvd.
Who gets the reference, yeah?
No, what you did. I saw what you did.
I saw what you did.
Good job, good job with our
coverage too guys yeah good job.
I noticed Jerry didn't answer the question
about bringing camp back to Sandy.
I was. I'm not a Cowboys fan
but I know a lot of people.
I hope he stretched before
ducking and dodging.
Man yeah alright thank you
Casey and thank you Nate.
