Jerry Jones sparked anxiety among fans and analysts this week after making some strange statements. While the Dallas Cowboys are having a forgettable season, Jerry has been making weird statements to the media every week.
Most fans blame Jones for the team’s performance, and he deserves a lot of it. However, following certain recent utterances, many people expressed concern about Jones’ mental health, and he answered in typical Jerry form.
Jerry Jones responds to concerns about his mental health
This all began when ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith expressed concern about Jones’ mental health. Everyone knows Smith is a huge Cowboys fan, but he had a different tune to sing following their most recent setback. He even compared the Cowboys owner to President Biden:
“I’m getting very very worried about Jerry Jones… I find myself thinking about Joe Biden before he backed out of running for reelection,” Smith said on ESPN’s “First Take” this week.
“I think Jerry’s one month older than President Joe Biden for crying out loud…where the hell are his family members?”
Jones must have heard this from Smith, and he dismissed the worries in a comic manner, while simultaneously going against Smith:
“Stephen A. is a fraud in a positive sense and I’m smiling. We are friends,” the longtime owner said.
“And I am having huge support and huge input and help from everyone he mentioned in that call about stepping in. But I would say if he had asked me that question relative to the issue or the criticism that Biden had about his ability to function, I wish he would follow me around every day. And he would see that I’m the busiest I’ve ever been in my life.”
“I’m not concerned about the ability to do the work, to do the job.”
“Stephen A. – and I’d love to have him just sit beside us for a day and make the rounds and have him listen to me field the calls and do the kinds of things we do and he wouldn’t be worried about me there. But I do appreciate his concern. And by the way, it is genuine,” Jones said.
Whether or not Jones can still lead this club, he is nearing the end of his time as the primary figurehead for the world’s most popular franchise. The Cowboys will have a lot of work to do this offseason, and Jones is the primary decision-maker for the franchise.
