Jerry Jones had the sports world talking Tuesday.
The Cowboys owner took a defensive tone during his weekly radio hit with “Shan & RJ” on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM), drumming up the buzz around his team after a 47-9 loss to Detroit. Jones fired back at the radio hosts after being asked about his team’s roster and a quiet offseason.
He later doubled down on his remarks, saying the “wrong ones” were doing the questioning. It was all part of a whirlwind bye week for the Cowboys.
Among those reacting to the day’s events were Mark Cuban, Shannon Sharpe and other well-known sports figures. Here’s a look at some of the reaction to Jones’ radio meltdown:
Mark Cuban is on First Take this morning — and his microphone stayed on as they went to commercial break and he said, “I feel bad for #Jerry (Jones). I really do…”#dallascowboys #Mavs pic.twitter.com/4ghKkasF4b

"I hate, I detest, I despise someone that will prey on the weak...If the Cowboys don't win another playoff game or another game as long as Jerry Jones is the owner, I'll be the happiest man in the world."

"I applaud the hosts if you're asking questions, that's what your job is. Jerry threatened their jobs because they were doing their jobs."

Jerry Jones probably could fire Shan & RJ. He shouldn't. But he probably could.

He can't fire all of us. And until they start winning more games, the questions aren't changing. pic.twitter.com/MGrlsjpFvt
Is this real life???

I WISH Jerry Jones paid me
He insults us again and we've had back and forth over WAY bigger things in our 14 years.
I truly don't understand what the hell is going on.
Full thoughts tomorrow morning @1053thefan #ShanandRJ https://t.co/axgXqhZSWd
If you're paying us you owe us some interest then too, pal https://t.co/LS4aODLKmR
