Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan on his message to Cowboys fans who are concerned that the team’s front office can’t turn this team around:
“It reminds me of the old gold miner out in the 49er days of the gold rush of San Francisco. And that old broken down gold miner, he’s got a bad back, his hands have so much arthritis from swinging that pick. And he’s sitting out there and he’s just picking on rock, and nothing’s happening. But the most sure way for nothing to happen is for him to quit picking. And so you keep swinging the pick.
“Now, from the day we’ve become involved here, we said we’re going to swing the pick. That hasn’t changed. But we’re sure not going to quit. And I’ll assure you that I’ve been in many things in my life, including times with the Cowboys, that that type of persistence breeds the kind of results our fans want. And that’s a winning football team.”
