Last week, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones had a middle finger salute for opposing fans, and this week, he brought the jokes.
Jones was on the field prior to the team’s Week 6 kickoff against the Carolina Panthers when he was asked about comments made by former running back Rico Dowdle, the team’s leading rusher a year ago.
Dowdle sent out a warning to his former team, telling the Cowboys to “buckle up” ahead of Sunday afternoon’s game.

“I can’t even get our guys to come to the field they’re shaking so bad,” he joked.
Well played, Jerry.
