What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorCowboys 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.

  2. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIs he allowed to say that? He's the one who loaded it.

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, Jones said there's nobody more qualified than Troy Aikman. Dallas is two and four.

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe defense ranks dead last on Pro Football Network's Impact Score, sixty-one point one.

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSomebody has to hold the keys, and right now it's the same guy who's been holding them.

  6. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo the front office is a storm, and the fans are begging the guy who made the storm for an umbrella.

  7. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorMoney, 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.

  8. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd I'm telling you, that's a real argument, because nobody's paying a general manager to sit in a booth.

  9. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo the keys are free, and Jerry still won't let go of them.

  10. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAikman says he'd welcome a conversation with Jones.

  11. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorVerdict: a long shot, and fans on a loaded question. Whoever takes the job gets an owner who still has a key.

  12. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo who locks up at night?

  13. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorJerry. He owns the building.
