Music sensation Kelly Clarkson joined former Philadelphia Eagles wife Kylie Kelce on her podcast and said the Dallas Cowboys losing streak every season is because owner and general manager Jerry Jones does nothing to improve the team.
Clarkson told Kelce on her Not Gonna Lie podcast where she places the blame.
“I just read something with my sister and I guess Jerry Jones had said, ‘Well, now is the time,” Clarkson said on the Thursday, March 27 episode of the podcast. “And I was like, ‘Oh, Ok. It was different from the last ‘now’s the time.’ Very different from last year’s time, which was also the time.”
Clarkson compared the Cowboys to baseball's Chicago Cubs where they always seem to be looking forward to the beginning of the next season.
“Our team is probably one of the most hated,” Clarkson told Kelce. “Because I also think, too, we’re always so hopeful. I don’t think there’s been more dreamers since the ‘90s. Every year is our year.”
Kylie admitted to Clarkson in the middle of the podcast she hates the Cowboys. However, that is due to her husband Jason playing for Eagles for all those years before retiring after the 2022 season.
“I will tell you that I have a bond with Giants fans for some reason,” Kylie said. “It’s often Giants fans [who] meet my husband and they immediately have truth serum and say, ‘I have to be honest, I’m a Giants fan.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, everyone has their flaws, but we can agree, ‘F*** the Cowboys.’”
Former NFL executive and current NFL analyst Louis Riddick shares Clarkson's opinion and voiced same on ESPN.
“It all starts at the top,” Riddick said on ESPN’s Get Up last month. “You know that Jerry Jones said that he bought this football team so he can be the boss of it, and run it the way he wants, and he has made tactical mistakes as far as if you want to compare it to, let’s say Philadelphia. Philly has outspent Dallas by $78 million in cash in the last three seasons.”
Riddick wasn't done. He said the Cowboys fall short of the Eagles in how they spend their money and sign free agents.
“We’re not talking about the salary cap. We are talking real cash out of Jeffrey Lurie’s pocket into the hands of the players. As opposed to Jerry Jones, who has this cash cow in the Dallas Cowboys…," Riddick said. T"hat doesn’t mean go out and spend like drunken sailors and be irresponsible. You have to have the front office in place to make wise decisions. The coaching staff for developing and utilizing the players. It’s all along a continuum. Dallas is failing in every measure.”
