Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Takes Shot at Cincinnati Bengals
CINCINNATI — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took the stand earlier this week as part of a lawsuit that "Sunday Ticket" subscribers issued against the NFL.
Jones is a member of the league's media committee. He defended the NFL's current broadcast model, even though the Cowboys would benefit if they could sell their out-of-market games to specific networks.
In the process of defending the NFL, Jones took a shot at the Cincinnati Bengals.
“I am convinced I would make a lot more money than the Bengals,” Jones said according to Joe Reedy of the Associated Press. “I’m completely against each team doing TV deals. It is flawed.”
His point is valid, but Jones could've made it without mentioning the Bengals. The Cowboys have fans all over the country and would command more money than any other NFL team if the model changed. Instead, he went out of his way to mention Cincinnati.
The Bengals have had much more success over the past few seasons, too. Mike Florio notes that Jones and Bengals owner Mike Brown haven't always seen eye-to-eye on league revenue sharing.
Regardless, it wasn't a necessary comment, even if the Dallas Cowboys would earn more money than any other team in a world were franchises could sell out-of-market TV rights separately from the rest of the NFL.
The Bengals do play the Cowboys in Dallas on Dec. 9 on Monday Night Football.
