It was right there in front of Jerry Jones‘ eyes. And he missed it.
There is no more shining example of how the radical move of an in-season head coaching change can work than the one being offered by the St. Louis Rams. Dead in the water at 0-4, the Rams fired Scott [...]

His right hand packed in ice afterward, Tony Romo hid the famous dimples behind a mask. Nothing to smile about anyway, right?

What actually happened in the bathroom at the trendy Joule Hotel between Adam Jones and a member of his four-man security team doesn’t really matter. Whether he was involved in a fight, a skirmish or horseplay, any doubt about whether Jones is a fool has been removed. He must be.
