Dallas Cowboys Release Jerry Jones

In an attempt to cut the franchise’s losses and ‘move forward in a positive direction,’ the Dallas Cowboys severed ties with controversial owner Jerry Jones Monday, ending their tumultuous 20-year relationship with the divisive figure.

According to sources within the Cowboys organization, the decision to release Jones was influenced by the lack of any playoff victories in more than 12 years, the owner’s distracting sideline antics, and his selfish, ‘me first’ attitude, which many said was having a cancerous effect on the clubhouse.

‘We value Jerry’s contributions to the Cowboys over the past two decades, but it has become painfully clear that we just don’t share the same priorities,’ Cowboys public relations director Richard Dalrymple said. ‘This wasn’t an easy choice to make, but we’re confident it is a decision that can only make our team better.’

    That needs to happen with the Orioles and “Pruneface” Peter Angleos. TWELVE straight losing seasons, and the team knocking on the door of a 100+ loss year. Pitiful!
