Just another week in Jerry's World
It’s been a busy week for Jerry Jones following the NFL draft. First, there are the three days of the draft, as grueling as that whole process can be.

Mississippi Boondoggle comes back to Favre’s drug that maybe never was
Brett Favre has never satisfactorily answered why he took a million bucks of state money, intended for needy kids, to do a radio PSA. He just kind of said that he did it, and promised to pay the money back, and then tried not to do so....

Nostalgia is WWE’s biggest weapon… with a tinge of spite

The Ja Morant/Allen Iverson comparisons are actually kind of legit

Mike McCarthy is taking a more hands-on approach to the draft process in Dallas, but will it matter to the man upstairs?
Now that we’re past the initial frenzy phase of NFL free agency, it’s time to focus on the draft.

Everyone wants to attend their own funeral
In a sense, we’ve done this to ourselves.
