Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones knew that he would come face-to-face with select members of the media on Monday night when he strolled onto the blue carpet for a special Netflix premiere event.
Jones and some of the most iconic players from the 1990s Cowboys dynasty were in attendance to promote the upcoming Netflix docuseries America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys,
The 10-part docuseries, which will premiere on Tuesday, August 19, will focus on the story of Jerry Jones buying the NFL franchise and leading it to a dynasty in the 1990s.

As Jones made his way down the carpet, he was asked by several reporters about the biggest thing hanging over his franchise's head. No, not reliving the past for the world's streaming giant, but the ongoing saga with superstar defender Micah Parsons.

Usually you would expect Jones to ramble incoherently for several minutes before giving a non-answer, but this time, he was straight to the point.
Jerry Jones spent time on the #Cowboys blue carpet tonight reminiscing on the risks he took in the 90s to get the team on the global stage.

For once, he's not wrong, and that may have been the least controversial thing he has ever said about the ongoing situation. Let's hope this starts the trend of not speaking negatively about his star players in the media.
