Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says CAT scan showed he has ‘brain of a 40-year-old’

ARLINGTON – Some wonder if Jerry Jones is slowing down. He’s 70 years old. But the Cowboys owner insists he is as mentally sharp as he was when he bought the team in 1989. A recent visit to the doctor convinced him he has the perspicacity of someone nearly half his age.

“I’ve been told that I have, by CAT Scans, that it’s like the brain of a 40-year-old,” Jones crowed. “…The guy really did not know it was me. I was there anonymously. He said, ‘And so I just wanted to come down. I saw your chart. I know how old you are. That part is really impressive.’”

Whether Jones’ claim will reassure fans who have seen the Cowboys win two playoff games in the last 17 seasons is uncertain. But Jones remains confident in his abilities to manage an organization that has failed to earn a Super Bowl title since January 1996.

“I know more about what I’m doing than hopefully I did 25 years ago,” he said, referring to the time he entered the NFL as an owner.

[font color=blue]A glaring error in the headline by the Dallas Morning News. Everyone that has watched the Cowboys' draft picks over the past 15 years knows that Jerry Jones actually has the "brain of a 4-year old".[/font]

Drink a little less, maybe the Cowboys could actually amount to something!

As long as you live, we won't even come close to a Superbowl. You have destroyed a franchise that once had a great winning tradition.
