FRISCO, Texas — Jerry Jones got heated during his weekly radio appearance Tuesday when he was about to be asked whether the Dallas Cowboys' lack of aggressiveness in the offseason has played a part in their 3-3 start.
The Cowboys' longtime owner and general manager appeared to even threaten the jobs of hosts Shan Shariff, R.J. Choppy and Bobby Belt.
«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 was traveling Tuesday to Atlanta for the fall NFL league meeting, but the fallout from the Cowboys' worst home loss during his tenure — a 47-9 defeat to the Detroit Lions — is still ringing.
«You're not going to figure out what the team is doing right or wrong,» Jones told the 105.3 hosts. «If you or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this meeting I'm going to today — the 32 teams here. You're geniuses. OK. Y'all really think you're going to sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I've done wrong and without going over the rights?»
Jones backed the strength of the the Cowboys' roster.
