“One of the reasons I'm lucky is to be around an owner like Jerry Jones. I'm not just saying it. The reality of it is the guy wants to win. As a quarterback, you need ownership and people in the front office and organization to help you win. If you don't get that help, you're always going to be fighting an uphill battle. 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

“Many white-collar workers are lucky enough to have creative-class jobs that are satisfying, which is great as long as you're still able to carve out true, work-free leisure at some point. But there's been a kind of sneaky reframing of work as play as the Silicon Valley model has been imported into other fields.
