If you saw Jerry on the street you'd do the same thing.

yep.
never understand why so many want his autograph and his picture taken with them.
I was walking around the perimeter of Texas Stadium in 04 when we played the titans in the preseason. I was there 3 hours early and jerry walked 3 inches in front of me with his driver and slowed down expecting me to ask for his auto, I just kept walking.....
my wife thought I was crazy.
What was I supposed to say, Thanks for quincy carter?

I'm not sure what I would do. I wouldn't kiss his ass, that's for sure.
No. No I wouldn't.
Not only because I have a great disdain for the guy, but also because I just don't give a shit about celebrities.
Back in the summer of 2009, a buddy of mine was one of the managers of the Hilton on Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach. He called me and told me that Emmitt, his wife, and his kids were staying there and that he was up on the pool on the roof. Said if I drove down he'd get me up there - couldn't guarantee I could meet him or anything, but that I could at least get up there and have a chance. Not a lot of people recognized who he was. I worked maybe 15 minutes away, and didn't bother going. And Emmitt was my idol growing up. Loved that guy. My all time favorite Cowboy.

Because unlike Clint Murchison, who most fans would not have been able to pick out of a lineup, Jerry is an outspoken, overexposed celebrity.

Middy is too cool for that. Triple OG.
I don’t know if i would ask for an autograph but i would greet him. I mean i think he is generally a good person. He just sucks at running an NFL team. I think it would be fun to tell others that you met him. It’s football, not life or death. Some take the hate too far.

No doubt about it.
So I guess they only had one draft sheet to pass around? That cheap Jerry!

Good thing you didn't go, he's not friendly at all and sadly comes across as really arrogant. He used to work out at the same small gym I did and any attempts people made to talk to him were met with aloofness.
Thomas Everett also was a trainer there and he is cool as shit, we'd chew the fat with him all the time and was a lot of fun to joke around with. He told me about how when he was a kid he took a hammer and smashed it over the head of a dog, I think he killed it. I said holy shit, that's what serial killers do and started calling him "Killer" every time I saw him, he took it in stride and laughed. Funny thing is he doesn't seem to be a big football fan and didnt seem to care about his affiliation and success with the Cowboys.

Hey, at least he could play football. I'll give him that.
Yeah, he was pretty good at it too. I don't see his record ever getting broken.
But he's not my favorite Cowboy ever.
