Jerry Jones didn’t have a happy 82nd birthday on Sunday. His Dallas Cowboys were clobbered by the Detroit Lions, 47-9.
Tuesday he appeared on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas for a radio segment.
He didn’t handle the questions any better than his defense handled the Lions’ offense.
Check out this for a perturbed owner:
“Listen, let me tell you what I’ll do about it, I will let us sit down and look at the decisions we’ve made over the last several years. OK? I’ll look at it,” Jones said Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. “Now if you think I’m interested on a damn phone call with you over the radio and sitting here and throwing all the good out with the dishwater, you’d have got to be smoking something over there this morning. I’m not. And I really don’t … and I don’t even want our listeners listening to me talk about. This is not your job. Your job isn’t to let me go over the reasons that I did something and I’m sorry that I did it. That’s not your job.
“That’s not your job or I’ll get somebody else to ask these questions, men. No, no. I’m not kidding.”
Jones offered a take a bit later.
“There will be one Super Bowl champion. What the others do wrong? There’s one Super Bowl champion,” Jones said. “Now we want to be that champion, and I’m sure not throwing the towel in today because of what happened out there Sunday.
“But I’m not going to sit here and waste a lot of energy, a lot of time and ‘Let’s talk about what I should have done about the ’07 or 2017.’ Come on. Come on. I’ve got more time than that and I don’t even have time on this great show for looking back at decisions.”
The Cowboys have a bye this week. A good time to try and solve what is wrong and for Jones to cool off.
