DALLAS—After steamrolling the Browns in Week 1, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is reportedly lobbying NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to change the team's schedule so they face the Deshaun Watson-led Browns every week. "We just think it’s what’s best for the league," said Jones, while winking aggressively and nudging Goodell with his elbow.
Jones, known for his creativity, has allegedly started offering the commissioner “gifts” to sweeten the deal. Rumor has it, Jones offered NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a lifetime supply of brisket and unfettered access to his yachts.
“It’s about creating the best entertainment for fans. And what’s more entertaining than watching us rack up wins?” Jones added, while handing Goodell a signed, blank check.
“Look, we’re all about winning, and we’ve found a strategy that works for us," said Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, grinning. "Why fix what isn’t broken? We’ll just face the Browns 17 times."
When reached for comment, Goodell responded, "No, Jerry, we can’t change the schedule," but reportedly kept the blank check.
