The Raider-Dallas game on Thanksgiving had Dallas commit the most penalty yards in a game this season. In fact Dallas leads the league this season in penalty yards committed by a team. Jones sounds like he is trying to use his influence to help his penalty prone team this season.

Can’t say I feel the least bit bad about it. JJ has a point, though.
Instead of bitchin', all he needs to do - what has worked in the past - play buddy-buddy with the refs, maybe stand on the sideline and and yell "atta-boy" when they call the game favoring the Cowboys ...
And maybe even slap them on the butt, like he does his players, when they "do right".
Is this the NFL ref czar on Cowboys' party bus? Irate NFL execs say yes - ( New Window )
I don't want to sound old and cranky, but the fact that you can't enjoy a play without first scanning the field for a flag has really taken a lot of the excitement of the game away.
