Cowboys owner Jerry Jones watches Saturday's practice
For an owner who usually loves to talk to the media, Jerry Jones went to amusing lengths to avoid reporters Saturday.
Jones normally enters the practice fields through the tennis courts near the hotel complex. On this day, he entered on the opposite side of the complex through a dirt field where fans park. He then took his seat in the tower between the two practice fields.
Once practice was over and Jones descended the tower, a club official called head coach Jason Garrett over. Jones and Garrett walked across one of the practice fields and up a small hill to the training room. The two stopped and chatted in an area restricted to reporters.
A few minutes later, as fan began to chant “Jerry, Jerry,’’ Jones came back down and signed autographs before again leaving for the training room. He went out a side exit, far away from where the media is allowed, took his seat in a waiting car and left.
Jones hasn’t spoken to the local media since Monday night. While this amount of time between sessions in camp isn’t unprecedented, it’s uncharacteristic.
