It is not truly football season until Jerry Jones says something out of his mouth that has people shocked.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is football season.
On Tuesday, the Dallas Cowboys owner was in the midst of remembering the late Larry Lacewell — the Cowboys’ longtime Director of College and Pro Scouting — when he used an offensive term to reporters.
“Lace held court out here,” Jones said while speaking about his former employee who passed away at 85 years old in May. “I’m going to get me somebody, a m*, to stand up there with me and dress him up like Lace and think Lace is still out here helping us. Look at the practice with us.”
“But, you know, we all need our props. A little memory that goes with him.”
