Nancy Meier is retiring

[Triumph]

FYI Jerry put Jimmy in the Boys RoH in 2023. It was in the Jerry Jones doc on Netflix.

The ESPN article that I used for reference was written in 2023.

I wasnt aware that the Jones vs Johnson feud was over.

I thought so as well but after watching the documentary series I'm not so sure.

My take is they've made peace with each other but Jerry still thinks he was ultimately responsible for the Cowboys' success.

People like Nancy Meier make the Patriots run efficiently.

Jerry said that there is nobody better as the Cowboys GM than him.

I’m not dying on a hill, I’m giving an opinion, it’s ludicrous to suggest an administrative assistant should be inducted into the hall of fame.
Being beloved, great at their job, etc etc can be rewarded in many ways, bit induction in the hall of fame isn’t one of them for an admin

That doesn’t mean she is worthless, it’s means the suggestion was dumb because it doesn’t apply to people in her position.

Technically, you are correct.

However, each franchise, specifically their owner, decides what does and does not qualify.

Why do I consider the Patriots a special case? I'm a fan, but beyond that, there is no franchise anywhere on Earth that I ever heard of that is as unappreciated and baselessly denigrated as the Patriots. People - whoever they are, whatever they do - who worked and sacrificed for the team superlatively and for decades deserve recognition at the highest level. Like her. JMO, I endorse it 100%.

Further, I do not believe for a second that her work had no positive effect on football operations including out there on the field. The precedent has already been set with the worthy induction of Tracy Sormanti.

They'll give her a little shoutout during the ceremony and let her say a few words.

It's not her personality at all as far as I know, but she would be justified in saying right then and there that the first draft pick she ever welcomed should be inducted belatedly as well. Blessedly, she got in one last hug with Russ Francis before we lost him.

From you that is a complement. Hall of fame is for players and coaches not administrative assistants. That you don’t understand that is incredible.

Obviously, not in the case of the Patriots.


What did Julius Adams, Russ Francis and Mosi Tatupu do to be excluded? Nothing.

Sean Taylor played four(4) seasons for the Redskins, and is honored like he was a god.

Darryl Stingley played five for the Patriots. Not quite as qualified as the three mentioned above, but I have lots of company agreeing that it is wrong for him not to be a team hall of famer as well.

Let’s put the security guards and parking attendants in the hall of fame too. How about the cashier in the pro shop?

Well, no, but...I would welcome a simple poll of all the players and coaches the subject interacted with and helped. It might be unanimous.
