Cowboys owner Jerry Jones went into full meltdown mode as he fielded questions during his regular weekly radio interview, and Shannon Sharpe was one of many who did not like what he heard.
The Dallas Cowboys were handed a crippling 47-9 loss at the hands of the Detroit Lions on Sunday, and Jones has been upset ever since. Not to mention, the demolishing came on his 82nd birthday.
During an appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Jones revealed he was “sick” after Sunday’s loss to the Lions.
His attitude only got worse as he was questioned about the team’s lack of success and why he did not do enough during the offseason.
“You really think you’re gonna sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I’ve done wrong without going over the rights? Listen, we both know we’re talking to a lot of great fans, a lot of great listeners,” Jerry Jones said, per The Athletic’s Jon Machota. “And I’m very sorry for what happened out there Sunday. I’m sick about what happened Sunday.
“… One of the stupidest things I’ve ever done, that anybody had ever analyzed was buy the Cowboys. It was an idiot that did that. So idiot things can turn into good decisions. Smart things can turn into bad decisions. The facts are when you make one, you don’t really know if it’s going to be good or not at the time. You want some conversation this morning, you’re getting it.”
The Cowboys began the 2024 season on the right foot with a convincing 33-17 win against the Cleveland Browns, but they have failed to win a single home game, and now they sit with a 3-3 record as they head into their bye week.
Despite how Jerry Jones may feel, the biggest criticism of the Cowboys is their lack of adding new weapons to the team in the offseason.
The team had a shot at signing running back Derrick Henry, but he would take his talents to Baltimore, where he is putting up a stellar season.
Shannon Sharpe Rips Jerry Jones For His Radio Interview
During Tuesday’s episode of “First Take” on ESPN, Shannon Sharpe called out Jerry Jones for his behavior in the interview.
Sharpe thought it was weak that Jones would play with another person’s job all because he was upset about the state of the Dallas Cowboys.
“To put a man in fear of his job, I hate, I detest, I despise someone that will prey on the weak,” Sharpe said.
“And because Jerry Jones is in an advantageous situation, because he has the power in this situation, [the fact that] he would actually say that publicly, that tells me a lot about a man.”
Sharpe then stated how happy he would be if the Dallas Cowboys would never win another game or playoff game as long as Jerry Jones is alive.
“If the Cowboys don’t win another playoff game or another game, as long as Jerry Jones is the owner, I’ll be the happiest man in the world.”
“For [Jones] to put that man in fear for his job, you know moving forward he’s not gonna ask him anything tough because that man needs that job. And for Jerry to say this publicly, and say I’m not laughing, I’m not joking — I’m out.”
As of now, Jerry Jones has not come out and apologized for his actions.

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
