Jerry Jones Locked Out of Locker Room, Pounds on the Door in Anger. Fire up the Sean Payton Rumors
Jerry Jones just pounded locker room door because no one would let him in. It’s the angriest I’ve seen him all year. #Cowboys @bluestarblog
— Matt Barrie (@Matt_Barrie) November 5, 2012
Jerry Jones, the GM/owner of the struggling Dallas Cowboys, will pick up the phone this morning and ring his pal Sean Payton, the unemployed free agent former coach of the Saints.
The Payton-Jones-Cowboys whispers have been out there since February 2011. Payton has a house in Dallas (he was commuting to the Saints last season). His kids are in Dallas. He’s long-time friends with Jerry Jones.
Dallas is 3-5, and would probably need to go at least 6-2 the rest of the way to get into playoff contention … and save Jason Garrett’s job. The remaining schedule for the Cowboys:
at Philadelphia (the coaches getting fired bowl!)
vs. Cleveland
vs. Washington
vs. Philadelphia
at Cincinnati
vs. Pittsburgh
vs. New Orleans (the irony!)
at Washington
On the bright side, Tony Romo is 19-3 in his career in November! And only one of those teams (Pittsburgh) currently has a winning record. So it can be done.

The Cowboys will never be successful until Jerry dies. So, stay alive as long as possible Jerry.
/Cowboys are gonna pound the Eagles next week
November 5th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
How is this ironic??
November 5th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
I can honestly see 6-2 with that remaining schedule.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
Jerry Jones is a virus that infects everything around him. Sean Payton would come to the Cowboys and go 8-8 for 3 years, get fired. Jerry retires from being GM, that’s the only hope.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
I think they are an elite head coach away from a Super Bowl… their Defense is top 10, Romo is capable but their window is closing.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
It’s like 10,000 spoons, when all you need is a knife.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
The Pitt Panthers should be disbanded after letting ND off the hook.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
This shitty team gets more unwarranted press than any other team. They haven’t been good for a while yet everyone still talks about them like they are a legit contender. Seattle, SF, Atlanta, and Chicago are all much better teams with interesting stories, but nobody talks about them.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
Shocking. I would think Jerry would have his eye glasses cleaning son-in-law do the door pounding for him.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:00 AM

So is half the league.

I wish someone would lock Cam Cameron out of the locker room. And the meeting room. And the training facility.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
And people wonder why Saints fans are conspiracy theorists.
The MSM has already named Sean Payton as their next head coach, and according to a lot of sources, the contract issue hasn’t even been completely resolved yet.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:06 AM
I’d certainly welcome him back to A2 to help Al Borges out.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
If the Eagles would only fire Andy Reid right now, Sean Payton could possibly coach the Eagles tonight!
/WIP Caller’d
//I do think tonight is the beginning of the end for Andy

Im getting so tired of hearing Falcons fan bitch about how the national media isnt talking about them, (which isnt true). Its like what do you want them to say?
/you are 8-0 but will probably lose your first playoff game again
November 5th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Agreed Purdue should be shot.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:12 AM

I guess it all depends on where you live. Personally I haven’t really heard much about the Falcons or Seattle much compared to the Cowboys. DC is all about the Redskins, but damn do they have an inferiority complex when it comes to the Cowboys.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:12 AM
Denard’s taken his last snap right? The Devin Gardner era has begun!
/OSU’s gonna roll those boys
November 5th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Ah, I can see you’ve played knifey-spooney before.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Not a fan of Rodney Dangerfield method of motivation. But I’m certain they’re not losing first round game this year. The defense has really improved. They’re definitely going to the NFC Championship game.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Not with that defense Fickell is in charge of. Woof.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:15 AM
As an Eagles fan I love the idea of Sean Payton as the next H.C. What I don’t love is the reality that if Lurie get’s the balls to fire Fat Andy his replacement will most likely be someone none of us has ever heard of.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Depends. If they shut things down early like the last two weeks of the season to save players for the playoffs and meet a hot team in the playoffs they could lose. Packers were 15-1 last year.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Sports talk radio down here are really up in arms about this “respect” thing. It’s very odd. I haven’t seem them this riled up about any Atlanta pro teams since forever. Consistent with rest of the city, most of sports talk hosts in this town are fan of other out of town teams. But they’ve been talking a lot about how “our” Falcons are not getting the respect they deserve.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:19 AM
This was my comment last night. One team with a winning record (Pittsburgh, whom they can beat) left on the schedule. Also, they are tied for the last WC spot in the loss column. It seems like a stretch… but with that schedule, they can lose the same or fewer games than those other 4-loss teams.
They’ll probably miss the playoffs, but it’s by no means a foregone conclusion.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:19 AM
But they’ve been talking a lot about how “our” Falcons are not getting the respect they deserve.
Isn’t ATL one of those cities where they have a hard time putting people in the seats because it is such a transient town?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
You need some new material.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:21 AM
This will of course come back to bite me if they lose, but I really don’t think they will lose in first round. Changing the OC and DC has really had a great affect.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:22 AM
One of the few times I completely agree with Simmons. I couldn’t wait to bet on the Giants at the Falcons. Especially if they have a few more losses like yesterday and get the doubters out in force.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:23 AM
The Titans manage it. Nashville is a very transient town… half the city is from somewhere else. Not only that, it’s smaller than Atlanta, and the team is still fairly new. Their fan base, while misguided and delusional at times, is pretty strong considering.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
No use discussing this now. No one can be proven wrong. But this is a different Atlanta team than years past. Three bad play-off losses got people to thinking it’s the same team. If Giants and Falcons face off and Giants are favorite. I’m definitely putting in $100 bet on the Falcons.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
So Jerry Jones is the new Al Davis?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:27 AM
That’s good to know, Kaiser… as long as you are one of the fans who is better at betting for/against his team than other teams.
/did I mention I’m 8-0 in Patriots games this year ATS
November 5th, 2012 at 10:29 AM
It’s a college sports town. Pro teams up north had a 50-60 year head start on us in building up fan base. I’d say Atlanta is probably the best city to live in if you are a college football fan. It’s a religion down here. Plus, pro players are considered to be “fundamentally challenged” and “bunch of thugs” as compared to “pureness” of college football, if you catch my drift.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Nope. My initial reaction…up your betting amounts! My secondary reaction…who you like in the Pats game this week?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:32 AM
Caption: Jerry Jones is pleased with how well his son-in-law cleaned those sunglasses.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:32 AM
What’s the number against Buff? -10.5?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:33 AM
bravo
November 5th, 2012 at 10:34 AM
I like the Pats initially… but if that spread creeps into double digits, I may have to take Buffalo. After they made Mark Sanchez look competent, they are re-vamping that secondary and it might take a few weeks. They’ll win big against Buffalo or Indy, and barely escape the other one, and haven’t decided which. Somehow the Patriots always fit patterns better than most teams.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
It’s at 11 now. That’s a tough number to give if up, since BB could get up two TDs then decide to switch the secondary around to see how they look.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:43 AM
The Falcons have packed the house every game since they drafted Vick in 2001. They had one blackout in 2007, the year Vick went to prison and dickhead Petrino bailed.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:50 AM
November 5th, 2012 at 10:51 AM

November 5th, 2012 at 10:56 AM
“their Defense is top 10, ”
That high priced secondary sure looked very average last night. Guys running free all over the place.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:07 AM
The Roddy-Julio-Tony trio can make any secondary look bad.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:20 AM
Payton will never be Jerry’s head coach. He wants too much control. He’s not a yes man.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
It’s the same issue as always in Dallas. The DL sucks (outside of Ware) at putting pressure on the QB. Any decent QB with time to throw will dismantle the best of secondaries.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:28 AM
Sports talk radio down here
Yeah – sports talk in Atlanta is horrible. Morning drive radio here is the absolute worst.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:34 AM
atlanta sports radio listeners, a guy from chicago just took a job at one of the atlanta stations. jason goff. great great knowledge of hoops, loves the nba. i;m no hoops fan and i made sure to catch him when he guested for bulls/nba talk

atlanta sports radio listeners, a guy from chicago just took a job at one of the atlanta stations.
I’m assuming he’s on 92.9 the game. Brand new here.
They look like they’re going to focus on NBA more than anything. If they keep that plan, they’ll fail. Quickly.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:42 AM
At least they play the Redskins twice, so they got that going for them. Which is nice.
/Dear Mr Snyder, fire the Shanahans now!!!
November 5th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Probably right, I’ve heard Kordell Stewart on that station. Atlanta sports talk radio is pretty bad, can only take Buck Belue slobbering over UGa for so long.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:45 AM
god, this is awesome.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:46 AM
well, whatever. just letting you know if you like hoops and are in atlanta, goff is the truth
