The Dallas Cowboys have been synonymous with drama and disappointment over the past couple of years. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones has been a big reason why.

Coming off one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history and heading into the bye week, there was naturally going to be even more drama. Jones just added fuel to the fire in his latest radio interview on 105.3 The Fan.

Per The Athletic's Jon Machota, Jones was as fired up as ever, threatening to fire the hosts and "get somebody else to ask these questions."

When questioned about why the Cowboys didn't make more moves in the offseason, Jones wasn't ready to hear it. Instead of introspecting about his misleading the fans by stating that the team was going "all-in," Jones decided to fire back.

"This is not your job. Your job isn't to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I'm sorry that I did it. That's not your job. I'll get somebody else to ask these questions. I'm not kidding."

This is akin to a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. Since when is it not the job of reporters and radio hosts to ask questions to decision-makers?

Threatening to get people fired when you don't like their questions is an immature and embarrassing behavior. Unfortunately, we have grown too accustomed to it under Jerry Jones.

"You really think you're gonna sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I've done wrong without going over the rights?"

The Dallas Cowboys are now in their 29th season without a Super Bowl. The fanbase would much prefer Jones focus on ending that embarrassing drought rather than lashing out at his critics.
