Throughout his time covering the Dallas Cowboys, Ed Werder says he had several 'aggressive' interactions with Jerry Jones.

owner Jerry Jones has never been afraid of the spotlight, which is a good thing since he's been in the headlines all week. Following his team's embarrassing loss on his 82nd birthday, Jones took heavy criticism for, saying "If the Cowboys don't win another playoff game or another game as long as Jerry Jones is the owner, I'll be the happiest man in the world."

Others seem to shrug it off as Jerry being Jerry. That's at least the way Ed Werder sounded when he appeared on theWerder started covering Dallas in 1989 when Jones purchased the team and has covered the team — and the owner — in depth. He said that he's had several aggressive interactions and while Jones "probably went too far," he believes that it's part of the business when covering the Cowboys.

Werder understands Jones more than most people, having covered his franchise for so long. That being said, there's still no excuse for Jones' actions.
