Jerry Jones received death threats after firing Tom Landry in 1989 When Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys on February 25, 1989, in Dallas, he immediately let go of Tom Landry, the only coach the team had known. Fans loved Landry, who coached from 1960 to 1988 and even had a parade with over 100,000 people to say thank you to him. Jerry also told lawmakers in his home state of Arkansas that he received multiple death threats because of these changes. He even said, 'I was Darth Vader,' to show how upset fans were. At the time, Cowboys Nation felt betrayed. One sportscaster said, 'Jerry and the Jones family had broken into the museum and taken our most valuable possession,' talking about Tom Landry's fans felt such love for him. Later, Jerry Jones admitted the firing was a big mistake in how people saw it, saying, 'The firing of Coach Landry was certainly one of the great PR missteps, maybe of all time. Because I still wear that.' Also Read: Jerry Jones hired Jimmy Johnson after Tom Landry's exit from Dallas Cowboys The day after he fired Tom Landry, Jerry Jones brought in his friend and former college teammate, Jimmy Johnson, as the new head coach. At a press conference, which many called the 'Saturday Night Massacre,' Jerry Jones said he was ready to build a new direction. His daughter, Charlotte Jones Anderson, who is now a top leader in the team's brand and business work, recalled thinking, 'What do we do?' when all the backlash hit.

I can't, I burned all my ships when I landed.' That meant he was fully committed and had to keep going forward.

B. S. Dara: The Voice Indian Fiction Cannot Ignore
PNN New Delhi [India], August 19: B. S. Dara turned from concrete beams to sentences, from architecture to ache. Now he builds stories that hold what most people try to hide. Erotic. Emotional. Unforgiving. His Stories you swore you'd burn. His Books The Insatiable His debut novel, The Insatiable, was a storm of desire and consequence, earning praise from critics and a place in libraries that rarely open their shelves to debuts. Critics noticed. Readers felt seen. The book found its way into Top 10 Books of the Month by Delhi Wire, was among the Top 10 Books of Year 2024 to be considered worthy of Netflix series, was added to the Goodreads premier author category, and secured a place in the prestigious Qatar National Library collection, a rare honour for a debut writer. It marked Dara as someone willing to write love without filters, exposing the beauty and the damage in the same breath. Then came the second. I, You and Pune I, You and Pune is a love story that doesn't try to be one. It follows Ananya Sharma, an MBA graduate with deadlines in her calendar and damage in her chest. Enter Veer Singh. He opens doors, listens too well, kisses too deeply, and ruins her in all the quiet ways no one prepares you for. Sex mistaken for love, and love mistaken for freedom. They move in together. They make love. They fall apart. There's no happy ending. Just real ones. Set against rain-slicked streets of Pune, where loneliness feels louder than love, the novel doesn't give easy answers. It asks the harder questions: What do you do when love is real but not enough? How do you carry desire when it turns into recklessness? Click here to find "I, You and Pune" and "The Insatiable" by B. S. Dara on Amazon today. Writing Unfiltered. Unforgiving. Undone. Sensual. Stark. B. S. Dara undresses the wounds most writers avoid, love, loneliness, sex, shame, and writes them raw, wet, and unedited. No silk-draped love scenes, he writes intimacy like a commitment whispered mid-orgasm. His stories don't give you closure. They give you reminders. The Man Outside the Books Quiet in life, fearless on the page, Dara brings a rare emotional precision to Indian fiction. He writes of women who count the cost of staying, and men who only learn too late what they ruined. In a country where writers often reach for masks, Dara insists on unmasking. He has carved out a place in Indian fiction as a dangerous voice, one who writes the price of being real in a world that rewards pretending. Building His Place in Indian Literature Two books in, and B. S. Dara isn't just writing fiction, he's rewriting the anatomy of desire in Indian English literature. His stories have struck a chord with readers who know that love isn't always beautiful, that love isn't always tender. Sometimes it's unspoken. Sometimes it's wet. Sometimes it's brutal. And that's exactly why it matters "Quiet in life, dangerous in fiction--B. S. Dara is Indian literature's most precise knife."
