When you're a professional in the sports business, you've got to develop some thick skin. Competition is the name of the game, and you learn to rise above the haters. But there's something about being dunked on by a kid that you just can't recover from.
Jerry Jones—the protest-busting geriatric oil baron who owns the Dallas Cowboys—is taking L after L, with his team posting a brutal 3-5 record so far this season, telegraphing plays, and even Cowboys legend Troy Aikman is calling for a "complete overhaul." And then he watched as the discarded Dez Bryant signed with a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the New Orleans Saints. And then walked in second grader Rylan Wood, who roasted the good old boy.

A truly sad story (trust me, read to the end):
No one deserves this.
Dallas, Texas (TX) -A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Dallas County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that the family unit be maintained to the highest degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the, Dallas Cowboys whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
That’s a Good One!!!
They don't suck so bad as Oakland or Arizona or the Giants, but the kid is right.
You shoulda seen it when Jerry fired Landry, kid! You’d really be disappointed then!
After the Cowboys went 3-13?
People still care about football? Why?
Not the why ... the how.
My understand is that Jerry offered Landry a more gracious exit, but Landry refused.
Never happened.
So far, Dak hasn’t been able to repeat his rookie magic.
Dak had the best offensive line in the NFL his rookie year.
What happened to his offensive line?
Are some of them hurt? Did some leave for bigger money?
That's nonsense. You don't REALLY suck until your offensive line lets your QB get sacked 10 times in one game........I'm talking about that JV team here in Michigan.
And he had Romo on the sidelines coaching him.
And he had Ezekiel Elliot carrying the offensive load, and Dez still had something left then, as well.
Dallas and Jerry sucked before they took the field, the America hating bastages!
