Jerry Jones quotes about
football feelings
I take a good feeling away from what football brings.
sports opportunity giving
Sports that are continuous and never stop don't give us the opportunity to segment our messages.
trying interest
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.
football october november
It's the premium time, the fourth quarter. October, November, December and now, if you will, going over into the first quarter in January. But really, football, that's when the interest is in the game.
giving producers
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.
tired character
Everybody is pretty good in the first quarter. Second quarter, you have a little bump or two on you coming into the half. By the time the third quarter comes around, you're tired, you're laboring. When you come to the fourth quarter, it calls on your character.
team thinking nfl
Nobody is thinking they're going to come out here and put a team here and become a multimillionaire. I don't know anybody that comes into the NFL like that
mean kind should
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.
sports people parent
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.
football thinking hell
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.
decision problem ambiguity
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.
sports different
Other sports culminate at different times of the year, but the NFL is in the fourth quarter - that's where the money is.
basketball sports baseball
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.
sports football people
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.
