There may not be anyone as respected in the NFL as Jerry Jones is ...

Huh? LOL. I always heard the "old guard" of the NFL disliked him immensely. Wellington Mara -- in his own gentlemanly way -- used to put him back in his place repeatedly back in the day.

Had to hunt for an old snippet just to remind myself: https://apnews.com/ed7f3f9828aac425e958f14fee54cb1d

From 1996: Picking on Dallas owner Jerry Jones after New York’s surprising victory over the Cowboys was fun for Giants owner Wellington Mara. "As I said, it’s always nice to see arrogance humbled," a smiling Mara said Monday in jabbing at the maverick owner. "I enjoy it very much. I wouldn’t mind if you used that quote."
