You feel that, being a part of this organization with Jerry, that he's going to bring in people and sign people and want to improve this football team every year. It allows you to feel like, hey, we have a chance and I have a chance to do some special things around here.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsFeelsYearsReasonHelpingRealityGuyFightingWinningChanceTeamSpecialFrontsFootballBattleLuckyOfficeOrganizationHeyOwnersOwnershipQuarterbackJerryFootball TeamJust SayingSpecial ThingsUphill BattlesFront Office Author:Tony Romo
