Jerry Jones’ cowardly response to valid criticism proves men are too emotional to own sports franchises

The Cowboys didn’t do very much this offseason. Dallas handed out massive contract extensions to Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb, but didn’t do very much to improve on the fringes.

Jerry Jones and company seemed content with running things back from last season. Predictably, that has not gone very well to this point.

Dallas is 3-3 and in third place in the NFC East. The Lions completely embarrassed the Cowboys on Sunday in a game that was as close as New York is to California. And it happened on Jerry Jones’ birthday, no less.

So, naturally, you’d expect Jones to be asked all about what happened on Sunday during his weekly radio show on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. And he was!

But, uh, apparently, he didn’t like being asked about it very much.

Jones threatened to fire the show’s hosts live on air after they asked him about the lack of moves made during the offseason. Yikes.

Here’s the entire conversation on air. Jerry didn’t hold back:

“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… I’ll get somebody else to ask these questions. I’m not kidding,” he said. “Y’all really think you’re going to sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things I’ve done wrong, and without going over the rights?”
