Not me. Bad enough I have to watch them twice a year.
Not me, I don't do Netflix.
Ooooh..me me me!!!! :nanner: :dance: =))

Who gives a sh$t?
NFL Films did an hour "A Football Life" episode dedicated to the man. That was more than what I needed to know.
No, I choose, instead, to watch a far more meaningful production from NFL Films. A story that traces back to the foundation of the league and an individual whose legacy helped define the greatness the game in this country, and opened the door to the entire world to love and become passionate as we all have become. It is the story of the man who led the Flagship Franchise of the National Football League from its earliest days, to help shape the league for it to grow and supplant baseball as our national pastime and refine it so its possibilities remain endless. For his life of service to his Football Giants, through good times and bad, his selfless service to the NFL as a steward of its health and growth, his service to our country during World War II, his devotion as husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, many times over, he became the patriarch and conscience of the league and all owners, to include Jerry Jones, sat up and paid close attention whenever he spoke. His efforts to broker a deal with Wilson for footballs, which remains the longest contiguous contract in US Sports history, was so impressive the balls were stamped with his nickname, the title of this film in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the New York Football Giants.
No, I will pass on the Jerry Jones miniseries. Instead, I will watch a wholesome documentary with substance, "The Duke!"

Peace!
If it's on in the UK, I'll watch it
Another testimonial blow job that the rich elites do for each other. I've attended many of those in a former life. I actually don't hate this man like you all do. I may check it out.
I'll check it out and watch one episode one day when I feel like watching something and can't find anything else. And then I'll decide if I want to watch the rest of them or not.

The link I provided to the Giants' 100th anniversary celebration is the initial and only announcement made so far.
Once the airing date is mentioned, I'm sure the Giants page will update with all the details. I'll be sure to make mention of it here as well.
Peace!

Hi Ed.
I can't speak for the others, but the word hate was not spoken, at least, in my vernacular regarding the man.
As I mentioned, the "A Football Life" episode on him was actually a very good summary of his life, accomplishments and story of purchasing the Cowboys and, with his friend, Jimmy Johnson, building them into a champion. It talked about his leaving Texas Stadium for Arlington and the business deals he made which were progressive and made his franchise rich in a hurry. It also discussed his philanthropy within the D/FW region, Texas and other places. Finally, he wants to stay at the forefront of the NFL in innovative and creative business and marketing that will further the Cowboys brand. Those are all valid objectives of a businessman which he is.
But, as I stated before, I don't have any interest to delve further than that into his persona. That's about it.
Peace!

Hate takes too much energy. I dislike the man. I dislike how he was the man that ushered in the NFL era of screwing over the fan for a buck. Jerrah pioneered the seat license and many other income generators other teams adopted to keep up. I am mindful Jerrah was leading the charge to screw over the players during their last CBA. I am aware of Jerrah covering up crimes his players committed.
In short, there is not a lot to like,but there is plenty to dislike.

I don't hate him. I envy the fact that he is a better owner than the Giants'.

Is he really? It seems like Jimmy Johnson (along with the historical stupidity of the Vikings) spurred the early success. After Jerrah's ego spurred him to fire Jimmy Johnson, they have been a team that collects plenty of talent (and develops and manages them well), but year and year, crashes and burns when the playoffs come around. Plus, see my post on how I view Jerrah, you don't have those sorts of traits with any of the Mara family.

You can't crash and burn in the playoffs unless you make the playoffs.

The Cowboys last won a Super Bowl in 1996. Since then, the Giants have been to three Super Bowls and won two.
I think I prefer the Super Bowl victories over the regular playoff appearances.
