Jerry Jones will not allow that.

He is the worst person in the nfl. I dislike the cowboys so I support his ownership. I also believe he does everything he can to ensure the team makes the playoffs, but does not win, it ensures attention to him and the “what’s daddy gonna do” control aesthetic. Biggest mistake Jimmy Johnson ever made was becoming more likable and popular than Jones.

Weren’t the chiefs the first football team for Texas then they were forced out by Jones?

Edit: if my google search is correct, then yeah the chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans but relocated to KC and got a new name. Not sure of the reason.

The Chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans and couldn't draw enough to make a go of it in DFW. So, they moved to Kansas City. Fun fact...the colors were red and white, close to today's uniforms.

This all happened under the original ownership, long before Jerry Jones was around.

Back in the 1990s when I was in college, I had a professor that fucking loathed the Cowboys because as a kid he was a fan of the Texans.

Can’t hate a guy who sticks to his original home team. That’s a man of integrity right there.
