Jerry Jones On Brady, Pats & Deflategate
By Mike Fisher | @fishsports
OXNARD, Calif. (CBSDFW) -- Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked to comment on Deflategate, the punishment of Tom Brady that could mean he missed this year's Patriots-at-Dallas meeting, and the controversy bring overseen by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I certainly shouldn't and wouldn't comment about another team's issues," Jones said.
But then he did. And did some more.
"Let me really emphasize how much I endorse our commissioner," Jones said at Wednesday's opening of training camp. "And how strongly I feel about the job he is doing. He has got obviously a very tough job. ... But that's why he makes the big bucks."
Jones comically noted that the public isn't playing a sympathy "violin" for Goodell over his challenges.
"We have a commissioner that is outstanding," said Jones, who also raved about the talents of Brady (presently facing a four-game suspension which would cause him to miss the Cowboys game) and about the talents of New England owner Bob Kraft and coach Bill Belichick and their ability to compete with the Cowboys even without their iconic QB.
But otherwise ... Jerry shouldn't and wouldn't say anything about it.
