Following a bizarre moment on a local Dallas radio station, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones explained why he seemingly threatened the jobs of several radio hosts on Tuesday.
Jerry Jones is not only one of the most unique owners in the NFL, he is one of the most well-known in all of North American sports. And it isn’t from just being the boss of “America’s Team.” No, Jones thrusts himself into the forefront of his franchise by playing a role in day-to-day roster decisions. As well as serving as a public face for the organization.
It is a gift and a curse. The negative side of the equation showed up on Tuesday morning when the Dallas Cowboys owner did not appreciate the line of questioning he received from 105.3 The Fan radio hosts about not making more moves to improve the team in the offseason.
“This is not your job. Your job isn’t to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I’m sorry that I did it. That’s not your job,” Jones said during his weekly Q&A on the station. “I’ll get somebody else to ask these questions. I’m not kidding.
“You’re not going to figure out what the team is doing right or wrong. If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this [NFL] meeting I’m going to today with 32 teams here, you’re geniuses.”
The moment went viral and received condemnation from around the sports world this week.

It certainly will be must-listen radio if Jerry Jones makes his weekly appearance next week. Fortunately, he won’t have to take any questions from the firing squad about a potential loss since the Dallas Cowboys are on a bye in Week 7.
