SJ's Greatest Hits (His best stupid quotes)

[Bobhaze]

Stephen “Birth Certificate” Jones has started this week once again revealing his arrogance, stupidity and lifelong sense of entitlement with his comments today about the team taking the off-season approach of being “selectively aggressive”. (Translation: 1. We don’t know what we’re doing and 2. We think the fans will “get over” their frustrations when we blow more smoke about what we “might do”.

Here’s a walk down a decade long memory lane of a few of SJ’s most stupid or arrogant quotes with links to the original stories. Each link is prefaced by an SJ actual quote.

• 2013: “We're convinced we've got the secret sauce to put this thing back together again and win championships," https://www.nfl.com/news/stephen-jones-dallas-cowboys-have-the-secret-sauce-0ap1000000235024
• 2013: “Jerry’s going to lead us to a Championship…sooner or later.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...ys-jerry-will-lead-cowboys-to-a-championship/
• 2016: “I worry that the older fans are going to finally say they’re done.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...-about-older-cowboys-fans-deciding-were-done/
• 2019: “The biggest thing- with free agency, I just don’t think you can make a living there. That’s what we’ve always said. I think you’re overpaying in free agency most of the time.” https://www.profootballrumors.com/2019/03/cowboys-stephen-jones-talks-free-agency
• 2020: “Monday on 105.3, Stephen Jones says they were happy with the moves they made and that they were still “in the fight” to win the NFC East. (With a 3-7 record) The reaction among the Cowboys fans was basically, “Is he serious?” https://sportdfw.com/2020/11/03/dallas-cowboys-stephen-jones-just-said-most-ridiculous-thing/
• 2022: After home playoff to 49ers, “We’ve got to clean that up,” said Jones, via The Athletic’s Jon Machota. “Holding penalties are drive-killers. We’ve got to clean those things up and I think it will certainly impact some of the games we weren’t successful in.” https://www.on3.com/pro/news/dallas...quote-over-not-making-super-bowl-lvi-56-2022/
• 2022: After playoff loss and voyeurism scandal involving peeping Tom actions by their PR director Rich Dalrymple, SJ says, “Cowboys have a solid culture.” https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...-culture-amid-voyeurism-allegation-settlement
• 2024: After playoff home loss to packers. “We don’t define ‘All in’ by what you spend in free agency.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profo...efine-all-in-by-what-you-spend-in-free-agency
• 2025: Makes “air quotes” around comment that the team is in a “playoff drought”. https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news...tes-cowboys-fans-with-silly-use-of-air-quotes

This is a very incomplete and short list. It could include many more examples of the arrogance, stupidity and entitlement of Stephen Jones. There isn’t a team in professional football that would hire this guy.

Nepotism is just another fatal flaw this team has.
