Jerry Jones says Cowboys should be 'inspired after this win'
By Brad Biggs | National Football Post
Jerry Jones backed up the chatter.
It was in July that the Dallas Cowboys owner said “ya’ll should come to Cowboys Stadium and watch us beat the Giants’ asses,” during a ceremony at the start of training camp.
The Cowboys defeated those Giants 24-17 on Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium.
“I can’t tell you the respect we have for them,” Jones said after the victory, according to the Dallas Morning News. “To get out of here with this win is very meaningful to us and our season. I’m sure proud of these guys right here. We were the underdogs.”
Underdogs? Sure. The Giants went off as a four-point favorite in the game but it’s not like Jones’ team was an overwhelming underdog. It was an important win for the Cowboys, though. If they had lost, certainly Jones’ comments would have been re-hashed.
“We certainly weren’t proud of the last time we were up here,” Jones said of a game the team blew. “It is really special. Our team should really be able to be inspired after this win.”

Cowboys WR Bryant close to plea deal
By The Sports Xchange | The SportsXchange
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is closing in on a plea deal related to his arrest on charges that he assaulted his mother, according to 105.3 The Fan radio in Dallas.
The radio station reported Friday that lawyers representing Bryant met with the Dallas County District Attorney's office this week and Bryant will plead guilty to a reduced Class C misdemeanor for family violence and will not face jail time or probation but will pay a $500 fine and attend anger management classes.
Bryant was originally charged with a Class A misdemeanor that could result in a $4,000 fine and up to a year in jail.
The wide receiver was arrested July 16 after an altercation with his mother, Angela. The Dallas Morning News had reported that she signed an affidavit that she did not want her son to be prosecuted.
The district attorney's office and Bryant's attorney, state Sen. Royce West, could not be reached for comment.
Even if Bryant did not plead guilty, he still could have been subject to the NFL's personal conduct policy.
