‘Jerry Will Sell Cowboys in Next 2 Years,’ Claims Outrageous ‘Report’
Las Vegas – The fact that Skip Bayless is the star of FOX Sports/FS1 is a long-standing source of embarrassment for everyone who values integrity, honesty, and ethics, both professionally and personally.
And as a result of his platform? Anyone else who wants to be on a major media stage but is willing to compromise integrity, honesty, and ethics is enticed to emulate Bayless’ false style. Craig Carton continues his credibility-free NFL “reporting” by informing his miniscule FS1 audience that “Jerry Jones will sell the Dallas Cowboys within the next two years.”
Carton, the New York-based shock jock perhaps best known for his 42-month prison sentence after being convicted of wire and securities fraud (he owes $4.8 million in restitution), has no background or connection to Jones or the Cowboys – but, like Bayless, who has made a career out of pretending to have Cowboys insight, knows that discussing “America’s Team” can be a career boost. So, during Super Bowl Week in Las Vegas, Carton discovered a method to accomplish this.
“It’s as clear as day to me that Jerry Jones will sell the Dallas Cowboys within the next two years,” Carton said. “He will not own the team beyond the next two years, because this ain’t Jerry Jones, and Jerry Jones can’t go out like that, because that’s not what Jerry Jones is all about.
We have no idea what Carton means by “doing out like that”; Jones, 81, has no plans to “go out.” Carton, meanwhile, went on to demonstrate his lack of understanding about the Jones family, and maybe about estate planning, adding, “Plus, you have a state tax issue. Sell the team for about $10 billion, give your kids the inheritance, and that’s a wrap.”
Of course, as many people (particularly Texans) are aware, there is no “state tax issue” in Texas because, well, there is none. Furthermore, as anyone who has ever met with Jerry and the Jones family on this subject knows, the plan is to literally never sell the Cowboys… because 1) the team represents an enormous source of almost endless billions of dollars for the Joneses, for endless generations to come, 2) the franchise is a centerpiece of the “family business,” and 3) Jones and his family adore everything about their football involvement – far beyond the money.
But what about the money? The Jones family is worth more than $10 billion. Jones’ children and grandchildren do not require a “inheritance” because they own the Dallas Cowboys, as well as a variety of other investments and businesses ranging from oil and gas to real estate to automobile sales to software development to restaurant, catering, and entertainment concerns to… well, we could go on almost indefinitely here.
“Let me make this very clear,” Jones has told us and others on multiple occasions and in various ways, most recently when the topic of a $10 billion value arose. “I will state that definitively. I’ll never do it. I will not sell the Cowboys. Ever.” Meanwhile, it appears that the Bayless Wannabes will never stop their blatant efforts to achieve undeserved recognition ever.
