Jerry Jones did not appear this a.m., as he is usually scheduled to do, with Dunham and Miller on the Ticket. The Ticket guys had promoted the idea of asking Jones about the Marion Barber "toughness" situation. Just got off the phone with the Ticket and Jones did call in briefly while the station was in a break during the 8 a.m. hour. But for some reason, the appearance never came off. The station, as I mentioned was in a break, and Jones was unable to reschedule for later in the show. The intent, I believe, is to get Jones on Thursday morning.

Maybe on Thursday nobody will have any more questions about Barber's "toughness," but having been around Jones on Sunday after the game when he was asked at least once about Barber, I can tell you he never explicitly questioned "toughness." Was he perturbed Barber didn't play? You bet. But, as a guy who has spent a lot of time watching him from afar, I can only imagine this guy is an emotional owner, who just suffered a stunning loss. My best (potentially uninformed guess): He simply misspoke out of disappointment and left him self open to be questioned about potentially questioning Barber.

In fairness, Jerry is in some kind of meetings in New York, so maybe he legitimately wasn't able to get it scheduled today.

I can't imagine Jerry turning down an interview for any reason.

why is evan grant covering football.

He absolutely hates the nfl, the dallas cowboys and jerry jones.

During the hot stove season too. Very odd.

He hates the NFL, Cowboys and Jerry Jones? That's all it takes to be in the media here.

IMO, this team needs to stop doing interviews and shows, and focus more on the next opponent and getting into the playoffs.

Jerry doesn't play on Sundays, but the example needs to be set from top to bottom.

Just my 2 cents.

No evan grant is an excellent baseball writer. he is a beat writer for the Texas Rangers and a darn good one.

He loathes the nfl and its players.

I have never seen him cover the nfl before and it suprised me, especially considering the offseason is ramped up in baseball.

again. I like evan grant, alot. I really appreciate his baseball writing.
