The Jerry Jones and Zeke Elliott pseudo-beef just got a little more serious.

It all started when Jerruh made his “Zeke who?” joke this past weekend, which drew the ire of Elliott’s camp, who said they felt the quip was “disrespectful.”

Jerry then responded to that nonsense ala Negan in The Walking Dead and decided to “shut that shit down” with this comment:

Jerry Jones when asked today about the backlash over his “Zeke who?” joking comment: “I’ve earned the right, with Zeke, to joke. Period. I’ve earned that. Let me be real clear about it, I’ve earned that right to joke.”

World champion and Delran, New Jersey native Carli Lloyd stopped by the Novacare Complex on Tuesday, where she proceeded to crush some field goals.

No double doinks here, just right down the middle with relative ease:

Tom Brady doesn’t tweet very often, but today he shared a photo of himself about to catch a football with a fantasy football joke baked in.

I appreciate his self-awareness right here:

We’re in the trust tree here, no Super Bowl 52 jokes please.

Sorry man, I gotta do it:

Not Ezekiel Elliott.

Not Dak Prescott.

Not Amari Cooper.

The Cowboys are extending linebacker Jaylon Smith:

The #Cowboys have reached a long-term extension with LB Jaylon Smith, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo

Confirmed by Schefter and others.

It’s actually a great football story. Smith tore his ACL and MCL in college, forwent his senior season, and then sat out his rookie NFL year. He’s played 32 games since, logging 202 tackles, five sacks, and a pair of forced fumbles while earning a Pro Bowl nod.

No contract numbers out there yet, but we’ll see how this affects negotiations with the three big offensive players I listed above. Interesting contractual stuff going on in Dallas this summer.
