Jerry Jones Destroyed by Travis Kelce Over Sun Comments
By Cem Yolbulan
Not only have the Dallas Cowboys been embarrassing on the field during their 2024 campaign, but they have also been embroiled in endless off-field drama all season. The latest debacle involved Jerry Jones and the Cowboys players who complained about the glare from the sun's reflection after their Week 10 loss to the Eagles.
CeeDee Lamb failed to catch an easy pass when he was wide open in the end zone because he couldn't see the ball. He suggested the team put up curtains to prevent the glare. Fellow wide receiver Jalen Tolbert later agreed with this sentiment.
Jones, however, obviously didn't agree and said: "Well, let's tear the damn stadium down and build another one. Are you kidding me? I'm saying the world knows where the sun is. You get to know that almost a year in advance. Someone asked me about the sun. What about the sun? Where's the moon?"
That statement is understandably drawing ridicule around the league. The Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce was the latest to join the conversation. In the latest episode of his podcast New Heights, Kelce took a shot at Jones about his comments.

Stating that he previously had the same problem at the AT&T stadium, Kelce questioned why the team isn't putting up shades on the windows.
"I'm not gonna lie, playing in that stadium I've had that problem before. That glare coming through that end zone in the afternoon is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. "

Travis' brother Jason Kelce read Jones' statement in this hilarious segment. Both brothers burst out laughing, and Travis said what every Cowboys fan has been thinking about for a long time.
"What the f--- is Jerry talking about?"

Putting up shades to help your team on the field shouldn't be this big of a controversy. Once again, Jones prefers to be the talk of the town rather than winning.
