Tuesday Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones guested on KRLD radio in Dallas on the Jagger and Barsky show -via sportsradiointerviews.com - to talk all things Cowboys and NFL.
(KRLD audio of Jones on 22-game schedule below)
During the visit, the inevitable question of the league adopting an 18-game regular season came up, with Jones volunteering that the league in theory could actually go beyond 18 games. Read more…
The real reason ESPN spiked the LeBron James-Vegas story by ESPN reporter Arash Markazi had nothing to do with anything Markazi wrote about James last weekend.
(ESPN didn’t directly authenticate Jones video before airing it)
Last April, in a span of less than a week, ESPN repeatedly reported on two stories infinitely more embarrassing to high profile sports figures. But there’s one key difference between those two ESPN-aired stories and the LeBron-Vegas piece that was pulled. A difference which explains why ESPN was so quick to axe Markazi’s work.
One of those embarrassing stories ESPN was willing to cover involved a drunk Jerry Jones being secretly videotaped at a bar by a person who, to this day, was never identified. The other story involved private photos of Josh Hamilton taken at a bar that were never intended for media dissemination. Read more…
Minnesota hauled out the big guns on Sunday for its playoff game against the Cowboys.
Bud Grant? Whatta get!
Like Jer’s gallstone, this too shall pass, Cowboys fans.
• Titans owner Bud Adams gives the Bills a double-finger salute - and gets fined $250,000 for it.
• After Stanford’s stunning slaughter of ‘SC, Pete Carroll & Jim Harbaugh both want to know what the deal is. (And Pete won’t forget it.)
• But the real deal is Toby Gerhart. Just ask his swim team girlfriend, who says that the Cardinal RB is “one big muscle.”
• Speaking of girlfriends, Erin Dewes has been incorrectly labeled as Tim Tebow’s squeeze. But that’s not stopping her from covering her nude self in number 15’s body paint.
• Zack Greinke is a real winner this week. Not only did the Royals pitcher grab the Cy Young award, he’s also tying the knot with former Miss Daytona Beach Emily Kuchar.
CelebrityClubber.com posts a photo of Jerry Jones today that has the Cowboys Owner appearing as if he’s had one too many, or needs a mattress - fast.
(”Hotties”, Jerry’s face are a bit of a stretch)
Perhaps that sleeping two hours a night thing isn’t working out after all, eh Jer?
• The new Cowboys Stadium opens with a couple of embarrassing picks, courtesy of Tony Romo & Jerry Jones.
• Well, at least the fans had fun inside the new digs in Dallas - unless you had a “party pass” but weren’t allowed in.
• An angry Oregon fan wants his travel expenses back after watching the Ducks get plucked in Boise. So UO coach Chip Kelly sends him a check.
• Floyd Mayweather Jr. delivers a verbal beatdown to Max Kellerman during Floyd’s post-fight interview.
• This week’s sports Twitter craziness comes courtesy Redskins LB Robert Henson, Larry Fitzgerald’s younger brother Marcus, and Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema.
• The Dallas Cowboys’ brand-new billion-dollar stadium was christened with a plethora of picks, courtesy of Tony Romo & Jerry Jones.
• Seems that the only thing that could possibly slow down the Florida Gators is the dreaded swine flu.
• Sadly, four Gator fans were killed in a small plane crash after returning from Saturday’s game in Gainesville.
• And now some fun video of a Bayou Bengals fan bombed out of his mind.
• An Arkansas high school football coach gets a kick out of never having his team punt.
Amidst the gushing celebration of Jerry Jones‘ new Cowboy Stadium was a rather curious contention: that the stadium packed enough people into the SRO areas to break the all-time NFL record for attendance. While that figure may or may not have been met, we do know that simply looking at ticket sales isn’t going to tell the whole story about how many people were actually in the stadium.
(This man is holding party passes, but he is not having a party right now. Not unless it’s an angry party, and nobody likes an angry party.)
That’s because, according to Cowboys fan Hector Murillo (seen above) and thousands of others, the Cowboys locked them out of the stadium, despite the fans holding “party passes.” Oh, just because you bought a ticket to the game doesn’t mean you get to watch inside the place; you hadn’t heard?
Usually, Tony Romo saves his worst for last, shining as the season begins but falling apart in December and January. But hey, last night was kind of a big game - it was the first “official” game at the new Cowboys Stadium, and it was a national TV audience against the arch-rival New York Giants. So I guess you can’t blame Romo for reverting to his late-season form and throwing up all over himself in the Cowboys’ 33-31 loss.
Romo threw three picks - including one that was returned for a touchdown - and generally looked more spooked than a race horse that’s just been hit with a firecracker. But despite this, the Cowboys actually led late, and it looked like Dallas might pull out an improbable victory. Read more…
• The Bronx Bombers blow up in a Tuesday night fight with the Blue Jays.
• And if Derek Jeter’s gonna brawl, he’s gonna need a mighty moustache.
• Seems that Wisconsin civic leaders have a problem with 12-year-old albino boys playing football with a tinted helmet visor.
• A Walter Payton statue in front of Soldier Field: A tribute to a Chicago Bears legend, or an insult to America’s veterans?
• ESPN will truly offer a college basketball marathon, as Monmouth & St. Peter’s agree to tip off at 6 a.m. Eastern.
