Never change, Jerruh. As an Eagles fan, I’m having a hard enough time coping with Washington (seemingly) being run like a professional sports team rather than some asshole billionaire’s personal fiefdom this year, I can’t handle another divisional rival turning over a new leaf

As a Washington fan, I'm having a difficult time with it as well. My trust has been broken for decades.
Man this really set him off
What home field advantage?
You must be a Jaguars fan.
Jerruh is an idiot for building his stadium along a SW-NE axis.
He should’ve built it along a NW-SE axis instead. Sure, he would’ve had to slide the stadium a little further west toward Collins Street, but it would’ve meant one less reason for him to be the laughingstock of the league.
He could still maybe salvage it if he put some good tinting on the SW windows.
They've put up curtains for other events. It wouldn't be that hard to have some permanently installed. Jerry just likes that the stadium is 2% more telegenic as-is. Then there's this:
“That really goes under the category of home-field advantage,” Jones said. “It should be an advantage to the home team, so I don’t want to adjust it for one reason because it is an advantage to us. . . . That’s our advantage. That should be our advantage. We get to play there more and we get to have it as an advantage. It has been an advantage for us to know where the sun is. I don’t want to change that.”
Absolute bullshit. The cowboys may be able to use their familiarity to mitigate the harm a bit, but that's more than outweighed by having to play 5 or 6 later-window afternoon games there every year. Won't be as big an issue this year, or likely next, as he's finally cratering the whole operation so they'll have to play at noon like the rest of the shit teams.
It took the first decade of our being together to do it, but my Texan wife and in-laws finally lodged the Cowboys in my brain as my #2 team (sad Duval noises), so now I get to be a fan of two terribly run organizations.
