Jerry Jones Admires Panthers Owner Jerry Richardson, Sad After Decision to Sell

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he was "very sad" following the announcement Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson would sell the franchise amid allegations of sexual harassment by female employees.

"I'm very sad," Jones told reporters after the Cowboys' 20-17 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. "Jerry is one of the really, really, really outstanding men of football that I've ever met, and I really admire him.

"I know that he made it the old-fashioned way. He worked for it. He took what he made in a short time in pro football and turned it into a great business and then used that to get the Carolina franchise.
