Stephen Jones discusses Dallas Cowboys’ life after Jerry Jones
Ever since he purchased the franchise in 1989, Jerry Jones has been the general manager of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s had plenty of help along the way with Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells, and Will McClay all taking on duties at different points.
Still, it’s Jerry who wants the credit, and as long as he can make it to the facility, he’s going to have that title. But father time remains undefeated, so there will be a day when Jones, who just turned 82, won’t be able to hold down the job.
When that moment arises, it feels inevitable that Stephen Jones will step into his father’s shoes.

Currently serving as the team’s executive vice president and COO, Stephen isn’t ready to think about a succession plan. Instead, he’s living in the moment and cherishing every moment he gets to work with his father.
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones when asked on @1053thefan if he sees himself taking over as the team’s general manager one day:
“I don’t think about that. I want to enjoy every moment with my father. He’s the owner and the president and the GM. I cherish every minute that I’ve gotten…

The younger Jones, who turned 60 in June, said that not many people get the opportunity he has to work alongside his dad. He did add that he might end up taking that role, but right now he thinks the current regime has a lot left in the tank.
“We’ll cross that road one day. No one’s getting out of here alive the last I checked. At some point that may be the case, but we’ll worry about those things when they happen. I just want to enjoy working with him and being a part of something special. I know right now we’re frustrated with how our team is competing on the field, but overall we’ve had a hell of a run and think we got a lot left in us.” — Stephen Jones on 105.3 The Fan, via Jon Machota
Jones is correct that the team had something special, but sadly that was 30 years ago. The franchise has faltered in recent years as they’ve done just enough to be good in the regular season but abysmal in the playoffs.
The Cowboys haven’t returned to the NFC Championship Game since 1995, and the Jones family is often pointed to as the reason for those shortcomings. That being the case, it would be a wise move by Stephen to hire a GM. But given the way their family operates; he’s most likely going to emulate his father.

DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
7-Eleven Robberies
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.
What you can do:
The detective believes anyone who knows the suspect will be able to recognize him.
“Yes, most definitely based on the video and the screenshot. If you know him, you’ll recognize him,” he said.
Tipsters can call or text Det. Villa at 469-755-8445.
“I need his information so I can talk to him about this incident,” he said.
