It Was Roger Goodell Vs. Jerry Jones On National Anthem Protests
ESPN’s Seth Wickersham and Don Van Natta Jr. have a great track record of illuminating the shifting and engrossing dynamics among the NFL’s owners—it was they who reported on the revenge motive behind the Deflategate punishments, and they who explained how Jerry Jones was the driving force behind re...
Jerry Jones Mad At The System He Helped Create
Cowboys owner and NFL shadow commissioner Jerry Jones isn’t happy that a federal appeals court vacated Ezekiel Elliott’s injunction, thus clearing the way for the running back’s six-game suspension.

Jerry Jones Thanks Donald Trump For Telling Him What To Do

The NFL Quietly Changed Its Obscure Rule About Standing For The National Anthem

Jerry Jones Says Any Cowboy Seen "Disrespecting The Flag" Will Not Play
Jerry Jones—the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, the inventor of the bullshit but diabolically ingenious national anthem protest rebranding scheme, and the odds-on favorite to portray Dobby the House Elf’s great-grandfather in any future Harry Potter sequels—is done pretending. No longer does he feel th...
This Is All Bullshit
The NFL loves nothing more than a hollow branding opportunity.

That’s the look of a man who knows he’s taken something that has ...

The NFL Set Itself Up For This
No matter what the NFL does, it devolves into a bunch of dudes arguing about whether or not a woman is a liar. It happened with Janay Rice. It happened with Nicole Holder. It happened with Molly Brown. And it’s happening now. The best case for the NFL just packing up and admitting, “We have no clue ...

Jerry Jones Is A Great Guy Until He Fires You
Jerry is really personable. I mean, you’ve got to like Jerry Jones. If you’re around him, you’ve got to like him, unless you hate the Dallas Cowboys, which some people do.
