Terry Bradshaw Pits Entire NFL Against Cowboys as Jerry Jones Sends Strong Message Against Giving Up

Jerry Jones,͏ the r͏uffia͏n mastermind͏ behind the ͏D͏a͏l͏las Cowbo͏ys, ͏f͏inds hi͏mself a͏t the͏ helm ͏of a storm͏y season once again. After three consecutive 12-͏5͏ campaigns, the Cowboys entered this year with high exp͏ectations, only ͏to stumb͏le to a rock͏y ͏3-7 start. Yet͏, in typical J͏erry fashion, he refus͏es to throw in the towel. Trusti͏ng in͏ head coach Mi͏ke McCarthy, Jones͏ bo͏ldly͏ pre͏dicted a turnaround, c͏laiming the team still had wh͏at͏ it͏ takes to claw bac͏k into pl͏a͏yoff co͏ntention.͏ And w͏h͏ile the C͏owboys managed a ͏gu͏tsy 27-20 w͏in ove͏r the Giant͏s on͏ Thank͏sgiving,͏ th͏e road͏ a͏head remains b͏um͏py͏ for ͏Am͏erica’s mo͏st͏ p͏olarizing t͏eam.

Enter Terry Bradshaw, who, with his sharp tongue and quick wit, stirred the pot when asked about the biggest NFL rivalries. “Everybody hates Dallas,” Bradshaw quipped, cementing the Cowboys’ status as the league’s ultimate villains. His commentary on FOX NFL didn’t stop there. Reflecting on the team’s struggles, Bradshaw acknowledged their past success but added, “They’re struggling. But if they win today, beat Cincinnati, and take Carolina, they’re 7-7 and back in the playoff hunt.” A solid reality check mixed with a glimmer of hope.

Bradshaw didn’t just single out Dallas for the hate train, though. He listed rivalries like Ravens–Steelers, Raiders–Chiefs, and Eagles-Cowboys, emphasizing how every team brings their A-game against Dallas. “Philadelphia and Dallas hate each other,” he said bluntly, before summing up the universal sentiment: “Anybody that plays Dallas? Yeah, there they are.” It’s no secret—every opponent circles the Cowboys game on their calendar.

The Cowboys’ reputation as an easy punching bag for critics is only matched by their knack for dramatic collapses. Whether it’s fumbling games or dealing with off-field drama, they remain the most maddening, yet fascinating, team in the league. And let’s not forget their flamboyant fanbase—whether it’s Miguel “Supercowboy” in his luchador mask or your average diehard, they’re as loud as they are loyal.

Love them or hate them, the Cowboys’ saga is never boring. With Jones doubling down on hope and Bradshaw rallying the haters, one thing’s for sure: the Dallas Cowboys will always find themselves at the center of the NFL universe.

Jerry Jones: “Winning every down” and the great Cowboys tanking debate

Je͏rry Jones, the e͏ver-persis͏tent owner of the͏ Dallas Cowboys, has once again made his stance cry͏stal clear: no tan͏kin͏g. Despite his te͏am’s dismal͏ 5-8͏ record and whisp͏ers͏ of throwi͏ng in the ͏tow͏el t͏o secure a b͏etter draft pi͏ck, ͏Jones isn’t buying͏ it. S͏peaking on 105.3 The Fan, he passionately declared, “We want everybody m͏aking the plays and having th͏e opp͏ortu͏nity to have success. Success i͏s ͏very important. We’ll go͏ out there ͏and win eve͏ry dow͏n.” It’s classic Jerry—unapologetically c͏onfide͏nt, even ͏as the odds mo͏unt ͏agai͏nst͏ his team͏

For Cowboys fans debating the benefits of losing out to improve their April 2025 NFL Draft position, Jones’ words squash any notion of deliberately giving up. Sure, winning a few games could push Dallas down the draft order from No. 12 to No. 19, but Jones isn’t interested in playing the ‘what if’ game. Yet, history says otherwise. Back in 2015, the Cowboys embraced “organic tanking,” benching veterans and giving young players a shot once they were eliminated from contention. That strategy landed them Ezekiel Elliott with the No. 4 pick.

This season, however, Jones refuses to budge, insisting his squad will play with pride. Whether they dominate Carolina or fall short again, Jerry Jones won’t go quietly into the night—even when tanking might be smarter.
