Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Once Again Shows His True Colors with Latest Remarks

Jerry Jones Once Again Puts the Spotlight

If you thought this week might be quieter for the Dallas Cowboys, think again. Jones has stirred the pot yet again, and fans are less than thrilled.

In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Jones openly admitted, “There’s $100 billion present value with gas out there. That’s why I’m talking to you on the telephone rather than trying to fix our defense with the Dallas Cowboys.”
That blunt admission—placing a huge natural-gas deal above his football duties—sent shockwaves through the Cowboys’ fanbase and locker room.

Damage control underway

Recognizing the backlash, Jones attempted to clarify his position during a radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
“Every day, every time I can, I’m looking for ways to give advantages to the Dallas Cowboys,” Jones stated. “Anybody that says I don’t focus on the Cowboys is just living in the moment of frustration, and I get that. And I’m frustrated too.”
He followed that up by saying: “You know where I ought to be. What did we spend, 15 minutes away from trying to help that defense?”
That “15 minutes” reference concerns the call Jones made instead of working on the team’s defense — raising more questions than it answered.

Why it matters

At a time when Dallas’ defense is among the weakest in the league, comments from the team's owner suggesting his focus lies elsewhere provide fuel for critics.
For a franchise that prides itself on the “Star” and a rich history, this episode highlights the disconnect between the front office message and the field performance.

The takeaway

Jones may believe he has made a savvy business move. But for many Cowboys faithful, the message is loud and clear: the team they love is playing second fiddle — to natural-gas profits.
Whether this will impact the locker room more deeply remains to be seen, but the optics are undeniably bad.

Eagles Place Two More Players on IR – Safety Suffers Car Accident En Route to Practice
The Philadelphia Eagles announced two critical roster moves ahead of Week 10, placing both outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari and another defensive starter on Injured Reserve. The news came Friday afternoon as the team worked through medical evaluations and finalized roster adjustments during the bye week. The first and more expected move involves outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari, who re-aggravated a hamstring injury suffered in Week 7 against the Vikings. The setback will sideline him for several weeks as he continues his recovery. The loss further thins out Philadelphia's edge rotation, although Brandon Graham is expected to take on an increased role and Nolan Smith is nearing a return from his own injury. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is planning to rely on rookie Jihaad Campbell in certain sub-packages, while Jalyx Hunt, Patrick Johnson, and Joshua Uche are expected to see more snaps off the edge. With the trade deadline approaching, the Eagles front office has reportedly been exploring options to bolster the defensive front. Later that same morning, another unexpected incident struck the team. A veteran safety was involved in a car accident near the NovaCare Complex while driving to the team's facility for a scheduled session. The player was immediately transported to a local Philadelphia hospital with a leg injury, forcing the team to make a difficult roster decision.   We have agreed to acquire CB Jaire Alexander and a 2027 7th-round pick from the Ravens in exchange for a 2026 6th-round pick.We have also placed S Marcus Epps and OLB Azeez Ojulari on Injured Reserve. pic.twitter.com/pp4hSnEGKM — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) November 1, 2025 That player was confirmed to be Marcus Epps. The veteran safety remains under medical observation and is expected to undergo additional tests in the coming days. While his injuries are not life-threatening, the team has officially placed him on Injured Reserve as a precautionary measure. Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed deep concern when speaking to reporters later in the day: "Marcus is one of the hardest workers we have. This morning really shook everyone up. The only thing that matters right now is his safety and recovery. Football can wait—his health can't." Both Epps and Ojulari are expected to miss at least the next four games, though their return timelines will depend on further evaluations. Despite the adversity, the Eagles remain optimistic that the team's defensive depth and next-man-up mentality will keep them competitive heading into the second half of the season.
