Jerry Jones nearly speechless after Cowboys loss

PHILADELPHIA — The world wanted Jerry Jones to talk. And Jerry, in a telling twist, didn’t want to.

So after two minutes and four seconds of talking, outside another defeated locker room, this time after a 17-9 Cowboys loss to the Eagles, he bolted left. Past cameras, flanked by his bodyguard, protected by a barrier in the bowels of Lincoln Financial Field. His voice had been hushed. He’d used the phrase “very disappointing” several times. He hadn’t planned on answering questions. He’d entertained one, then turned his back on a second.

But when he reached the end of the hallway and hung a right, he was ambushed.
