The Jerry Jones Drafting Philosophy
Jerry Jones, post-facial-reconstruction surgery
David Hamby alerts me to this ESPN Page 2 piece on my Dallas Cowboys, who just aren't as much fun when they are terrible. This paragraph made me laugh out loud:
Jones has also bivouacked in the Cowboys war room, where his draft philosophy is simple: Take the Best First Name Available. This strategy has yielded a bumper crop of exotic nomenclature -- Kavika, Shante, Ebenezer, Izell, Flozell, Alundis ("My Alundis flared up, so my doctor put me on Flozell"), Dat, Peppi, Daleroy, Char-ron, Stepfret, Orantes, Colston. Sadly, none of this collection has ever been named a Pro Bowler.It seems like SO long ago when Jimmy Johnson exclaimed "How 'bout them Cowboys!"
