Rex "Two-Point" GridleyCowboys fans want Jerry Jones to hand the front office to Troy Aikman, and Jerry, who is the owner and the general manager, called it a loaded question.
Brock ThundersonIs he allowed to say that? He's the one who loaded it.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyLook, Jones said there's nobody more qualified than Troy Aikman. Dallas is two and four.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyThe defense ranks dead last on Pro Football Network's Impact Score, sixty-one point one.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleySomebody has to hold the keys, and right now it's the same guy who's been holding them.
Brock ThundersonSo the front office is a storm, and the fans are begging the guy who made the storm for an umbrella.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyMoney, for one. One fan says Aikman makes eighteen million dollars a year calling games and won't give that up to be a general manager.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyAnd I'm telling you, that's a real argument, because nobody's paying a general manager to sit in a booth.
Brock ThundersonSo the keys are free, and Jerry still won't let go of them.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyAikman says he'd welcome a conversation with Jones.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyVerdict: a long shot, and fans on a loaded question. Whoever takes the job gets an owner who still has a key.
Brock ThundersonSo who locks up at night?
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyJerry. He owns the building.
