I'm more disturbed by the apparent fact that Jones has groupies than anything else.
That, and/or he's got a package even more massive than his ego (not bloody likely, I realize, but you never know).
I wonder who gets the Cowboys when he croaks? He's 72 and money can only get you so much longevity. Especially if you party with a bunch of hoes.
But then I remembered Oakland......

I don't know what Jerry's replationship is with his son, but Al's relationship with Mark was open contempt and utter disgust. Al did nothing to prepare Mark for the responsibilities of inheriting the team. No idea if Jerry's taken a different path with Stephen.
I didn't know that about Mark and Al. Interesting.
Wrong answer. "A [expletive] receiver?" Al Davis snapped, his voice rising. "Get the [expletive] out of here." And with that, the heir to one of the NFL's most storied franchises slinked out of the room and continued with the rest of his day. I cite this incident not to illustrate that Al Davis had a mean streak and did not suffer fools gladly, even when the fool in question was his only child. Nor is it necessary as a means of proving that Mark Davis doesn't know much about personnel – he essentially admitted that Tuesday at the news conference announcing the hiring of general manager Reggie McKenzie (a potentially sound move) and the firing of head coach Hue Jackson (an astonishingly dumb one). No, the reason I share this story – which was related to me by a former member of the Raiders' coaching staff who witnessed it – is to explain why I think the younger Davis made a coaching change after Jackson's promising, 8-8 rookie season: To project an image of authority, Mark Davis needs to surround himself with employees who didn't see him routinely disparaged and condescended to by his legendary father.
