Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been a looming figure in the professional football world for decades, sometimes rubbing fans and players the wrong way with his actions and words.
Earlier this week, Jones went viral for comments he made while watching a practice session with Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx. The Ray star was live on Instagram as they watched players training on the field. At one point, Jones was impressed by the work of one player and began listing off some of his statistics. The only issue is he noted one measurement that isn’t typically reported with football players.
That’s pretty good right there. He showed balance,” the 81-year-old said. “Five [feet] nine and a half [inches], 210 [pounds]. 4.41 [40-yard dash]. Nine and three [quarters]-inch hands. Eight-and-a-half-inch d–k.
Foxx’s video ended immediately after that, so viewers never got any context into why Jones remarked on a player’s manhood. On Sept. 24, the team owner stopped by the Shan & RJ show on Dallas’ 103.5 The Fan radio station and spoke about his relationship with Foxx and the now-infamous video.
He’s a great friend. We have had a lot of experience watching players, talking about players, talking about games,” Jones explained. “It’s just kind of ironic, I think, when that was supposed to have happened a few years back. But I don’t recall it.
