Stephen A. Smith launched a blistering attack on Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, comparing him to Joe Biden and even urging his family to intervene.
Dallas suffered more humiliation on Monday night, when the Texans secured a blowout win and the AT&T Stadium roof collapsed.
The Cowboys are now 3-7 for the season and are the only men’s American pro team – across the NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS and NFL – without a home win in 2024.
That has piled the pressure on head coach Mike McCarthy and the team’s billionaire owner.
After Monday’s game, Jones branded suggestions that McCarthy has lost the locker room ‘so overblown’. He also claimed tough seasons like this are inevitable if ‘you stay in this league long enough’.
On Tuesday, however, Smith blasted Jones’ interventions and compared him to the outgoing president.

‘I’m not joking when I say this: I’m getting very, very worried about Jerry Jones,’ Smith told ESPN’s First Take.
‘Because the only thing that’s worse than the team’s play is his press conferences… where he says one thing after another, after another.
‘I find myself thinking about Joe Biden before he backed out of running for re-election. I think Jerry’s one month older than President Joe Biden for crying out loud.’
Jones, who has a net worth of nearly $16billion, was born in October 1942, a few weeks before president Biden. And Smith questioned why none of the owner’s inner circle have stepped in.
‘I remember when I was on the airwaves, nine, 10 months ago, I was like: “He can’t be the nominee. He ain’t gonna make it to the Democratic National Convention. Y’all got to change. Y’all got to do something to change.”
‘I’m looking at Jerry, and I find myself asking where the hell is Stephen Jones? Where the hell are his family members?
‘I know he’s the owner and the president and the GM and I get all that. But somebody in your inner circle has to be able to stop you from just adding fuel to the fire. Because it is so bad right now, they’ve literally taken the fun out of it.’
Biden eventually made way for Kamala Harris but ex-NFL star Shannon Sharpe pointed out what separates Jones and the president.
‘Big donors came in and said: “President Biden, we’re not going to donate unless you drop out.” What do they say to Jerry to get Jerry to stop talking?’ he said.
