Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was all smiles before Sunday’s win over the Jets at MetLife Stadium. During the game, he was all fingers.

We’ll see if the league does anything. And, if the league does, we’ll see if Jerry cares. The combination of an accumulation of billions and the shedding of any remaining filters (if there even were any) on the wrong side of 80 creates a sweet spot in which a person will say and do all sorts of things that could make others sour.
