DALLAS Cowboys owner Jerry Jones went on a fiery tirade on the radio after the team’s disastrous loss to the Detroit Lions.

The longtime NFL owner, 82, scolded radio hosts during his regular weekly interview in Dallas on Tuesday.

Jones appeared on Shan & Ray on Audacy’s 105.3 The Fan two days after the Cowboys‘ 47-9 home defeat to the Lions.

During the interview, he snapped after being asked a question regarding the team’s lack of offseason additions to the roster.

“This is not your job. Your job isn’t to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I’m sorry that I did it. That’s not your job. I’ll get somebody else to ask these questions. I’m not kidding,” Jones said to the show’s hosts Shan Sharrif, R.J. Choppy and Bobby Belt.

“You’re not going to figure out what the team is doing right or wrong.

“If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this [NFL] meeting I’m going to today with 32 teams here, you’re geniuses.”

“You really think you’re gonna sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I’ve done wrong without going over the rights?”

Jones did send a message to America’s Team’s fans, saying he’s “very sorry for what happened” in Sunday’s game.

The Cowboys didn’t make significant upgrades after Jones said in the offseason that the team was “all in” on 2024.

He did bring up Tuesday that the Cowboys extensions to Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb did meet the definition of going “all in.”

Jones also called out the criticisms of the team’s offseason, saying that he heard the same noise when he bought the Cowboys in 1989 for $140 million.

“One of the stupidest things I’ve ever done, that anybody had ever analyzed was buy the Cowboys. It was an idiot that did that,” Jones said on the radio show.

“So idiot things can turn into good decisions. Smart things can turn into bad decisions.

“The facts are that when you make one, you don’t really know if it’s going to be good or not at the time. So let’s go ahead, I’m trying to answer your questions, man.

“You want some conversation this morning, you’re getting it.”

Jones also didn’t let a question get finished about a potential head coaching change with Mike McCarthy.

He revealed his regret about letting go of Wade Phillips in favor of Jason Garrett during the 2010 campaign.

“And I won’t be making any others during the season,” he said.

The Cowboys were 1-7 at the time of Phillips’ dissmissal and Phillips went on to win a Super Bowl as the Denver Broncos‘ defensive coordinator.

Jones said he has no plans to fire McCarthy during the season, saying he’ll never make another in-season coaching move.

The Cowboys have yet to win a home this year and will not play in Week 7 due to the bye.

The owner and general manager Jones has plenty of time to analyze the Cowboys as they will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8.

A NEW homeowner has been left shocked after he was slapped with a water bill costing nearly $10,000.

Seth Priestner thought there’d been a mistake when he first opened the August water bill for his new home in San Antonio, Texas.

After his family moved into the new house in April, they were charged a typical monthly water bill of around $115 a month.

But just five months later, the bill was $9,707, stating the family used 355,000 gallons of water that month.

“At first we thought they sent us the wrong bill. Like maybe they sent us a commercial bill,” Priestner told CBS affiliate KENS.

“But upon calling SAWS they said ‘No, that is your bill.'”

The San Antonio Water System suggested that Priestner might have had a leak in his house, causing the homeowner to hire a plumber.

However, the plumber couldn’t find a leak in the home.

To make matters even more confusing, the family had a leak repaired in June.

After the plumber’s visit, Priestner asked SAWS to reduce the bill amount since there wasn’t any explanation for the extreme charge.

SAWS reduced the bill – but only to around $6,500.

The charged amount still included a Stage 3 Drought Surcharge fee that cost nearly $3,500.

The surcharge is applied to SAWS customers who use excessive water during drought conditions in the area.

San Antonio experienced a drought this summer, only getting .38 inches of rain in August.

The Stage 3 charge costs $10.37 per thousand gallons for customers who use over 20,000 gallons per month, according to SAWS’ website.

“That is strictly there to discourage people from using excessive water,” Priestner said about the charge.

“I don’t think that’s the case here. It doesn’t make sense to fine someone.” 

Priestner then reached out to KENS, who reported that 355,000 gallons of water is about half the amount needed to fill an Olympic swimming pool.

MONEY BACK

After reaching out to SAWS, the outlet found the utility service didn’t physically check the family’s water meter in June or July.

SAWS spokesperson Anne Hayden told KENS the company “estimated” the family’s usage in the summer months – meaning it was unclear when the 355,000 gallons of water went through the meter.

“Because there were two estimated reads we couldn’t be sure when that water use was happening in those two months, so we did give him a partial credit,” Hayden told KENS.

NEW METER

However, Priestner and the outlet still pushed to understand why the surcharge was applied – eventually leading the utility to drop the fine.

“We decided, just to be careful, to give him credit back on the surcharge,” Hayden said.

The company then swapped out Priestner’s analog water meter with SAWS’ new ConnectH2O meter, which can be monitored electronically by the utility and the homeowner via an app.

With the new meter, SAWS was even able to alert Priestner’s family with a “continuous leak alert” after they left a hose running in September.

“This is going to be a wonderful thing to use and we are looking forward to all our customers having access to it,” Hayden said. 

Priestner told KENS he was just appreciative that the utility dropped the fine.

The U.S. Sun reached out to SAWS for comment.
