What else would Jerry Jones admit after drinks?
Hiring a straight-ahead football man to secure a self-indulgent stadium? Such brilliance must mean Jones was drinking Guinness that night. Perhaps after a couple more drinks he would’ve shared the following explanations for bringing certain figures to the Cowboys:
Deion Sanders: “I brought him to teach me how to tie a do-rag.”
Wade Phillips: “I needed someone with big hands that could bring back several drinks in one trip.”
Barry Switzer: “I needed someone to serve as airport security.”
Pacman Jones: “I needed another compelling story line for ‘Hard Knocks.'”
Terrell Owens: “I wanted him to secure a popcorn endorsement for the Cowboys. You can’t spell ‘kettle corn’ without T.O.!”
