FRISCO - The most polarizing owner in the NFL undeniably has a flare for dramatics. Usually, such "dramatics" may entail postgame comments to media or 11th-hour contract decisions regarding franchise pieces. But sometimes, its the activities around here around The Star that draw headlines for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
In this specific case, his choice of transportation made a big scene. ..
. or at what some consider a "big scene.'' Rather than a luxurious car, Jerry arrived at practice at midweek on his helicopter - which CowboysCountry.
com long ago dubbed "Jer-Force One'' - granting himself reserved parking on the field. Surely a surprising entrance to the uninitiated ..
. but not a punctual one, according to Mike McCarthy. "He was almost late for practice; I thought I was gonna have to get on his ass," the head coach joked.
Unfortunately for the hungry speculators, "Air-Jer" (yes, another good nickname) is not for the use of attracting gaudy outside names like Amari Cooper or Davante Adams, no matter how much the media on the national scene want to wish those rumors into existence. Nor is Jones traveling around the Metroplex via helicopter unusual ..
. and when he rides it to work? The aircraft commonly uses "the other practice field'' in the backyard here at The Star as its landing pad. But that does not make the spectacle any less of a shock to the new folks in Frisco not familiar with Jerry's antics.
Newly-signed KJ Henry was starstruck seeing the luxury ride parked.
