Jerry Jones is notorious for meddling in his team's affairs, and at
least one notable Cowboys fan has grown tired of it.
Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, who was born in
Dallas and lives in Austin, tweeted an apparent shot at Jones late
Sunday night following the Cowboys' 34-7 beatdown by the Eagles on
national television.
"'If' I had a few hundred million bucks I'd buy the Dallas Cowboys
then get the hell outta the way," Armstrong wrote on his Twitter
account.
A "few" hundred million bucks is all Armstrong needs to buy the team?
We knew he was rich, but we had no idea he was filthy rich (we've
digressed).
In the grand scheme of things, Armstrong probably has a point. But
Jones isn't the problem right now in Dallas. It's not like the Cowboys
stink because of a Roy Williams-type trade gone wrong. They stink
because of Tony Romo, who threw awful pass after awful pass Sunday
night and finished an abysmal 18 of 35 for 203 yards.
Now, if Jones is forcing coach Jason Garrett to keep Romo as the
starting quarterback against Garrett's better judgment, then
Armstrong's tweet is spot on. But that's just conspiracy theory talk
right there.
