Jerry Jones threatens to fire radio hosts

US1 Giants : 10/15/2024 1:15 pm
Quote:
Jerry Jones took issue with being questioned about the Dallas Cowboys' roster and perceived lack of offseason moves during his weekly radio appearance on Tuesday morning.

Jones didn't stop there, however, as the team owner and general manager appeared to threaten the jobs of hosts Shan Shariff and R.J. Choppy during the course of the interview on 105.3.

what's the point of owning a radio station if they aren't going to kiss your ass at all times?

Complaining to them is making their point for them.
Jones and the Cowboys

are not an embarrassment. They may have to answer questions as 3-3 and getting crushed at home isn't a good look, but I don't think anyone should be holding their feet to the fire.

Ill take season ending losses in January over October any day.
he didn't need to threaten anyone

But I kind of appreciate what Jones said.
WTF? Another Jones thread??

critiquing his decisions EXACTLY what their job is?

has a future as an animatronic host of kid's bday parties.
Wow. That was ugly. That speaks for itself.

Kiss my ass or you're fired.

only if you believe in the freedom of the press. but since Jones owns the radio station, I'd say their job is to defend the Cowboys and Jones instead of trying to stir up shit after a loss.
And somehow

what Mara did was worse, lol
I give Jerry credit for talking to them and the fans  
GiantBlue : 10/15/2024 2:26 pm : link
Look. At the end of the day, he loves his team as much or more than we love our Giants. He is a heartbroken fan at heart regarding their losses this year just as we are. He might be the enemy or we might make fun of himn. At the end of the day, he is us. He is us.

He is sick. I am sick. We are sick. We are sick together.

You may have noticed, things are pretty bleak in Giants land. Having some lulz at the expense of the Cowboys owner or Eagles coach can be a welcome distraction
I wish John Mara could wipe out the WFAN lineup

Are ways to question your boss on decisions the was not the best way by the radio host.
He’s almost as mad

That's a pretty ugly statement. Do you have anything to back that up? I know nothing either way.

Exactly - they are employed to talk about the team - and that would include commenting when they play poorly - which they did expotentially on Sunday.

If you're going to sit there and defend the Cowboys after that, why have a show?

And Jones doesn't have to be happy about it - he could have pulled a lot of cards - but to say he'd get rid of them was just acting like the rich asshole he probably is.

I can’t stand Jones, but calling that “jeering at” is a pretty big leap into someone’s mind and intent all from a photo. Looks like a kid in the crowd watching a tense situation , I don’t know how you can read what’s in his mind in that moment
