That's right folks. It's Jerry Jones's world and we're just living in it.

According to Todd Archer of ESPN, the Dallas Cowboys owner has “no regrets” despite the overwhelming conflict experienced with the NFL over the past year or so.

“When you get pretty supportive then you run or get a chance to pay the fiddler,” Jones said Tuesday from the NFL owners meetings in Orlando. “I have understood that. The commissioner has that power.”

All told, Jones's recent actions cost him $2 million legal fees. He, unlike the majority of owners, questioned Roger Goodell's contract extension and stuck up for his suspended running back Ezekiel Elliott. Both moves account for the headlines in what was an interesting year for Jones and the league.

On top of that, the league forced Jones to reimburse the league for its legal fees via a 1997 bylaw which put the practice of such actions in place if an owner participates in bringing litigation against other owners. His appeal in this regard was denied.

Goodell first laid out his concerns about the commissioner's power back in December. Another such narrative was brought forth by Mr. Jones this past Monday at an owner's meeting.

“It was very satisfactory and we will address more of it in May,” Jones said, alluding to the NFL meetings in Atlanta, “but I was very satisfied.”

He was extremely pleased with the results and support received.

“I'm going to let Roger speak to about here, what's (been) discussed,” Jones said. “You know where I am on it. But where it is, is everybody's going to think about it, talk back and forth on it a little bit and then we'll be more definitive after the May meeting.”

In terms of personnel, Jerry Jones's Dallas Cowboys pick 19th in next month's NFL Draft. It'll be nice for fans of dem boys to get back to some semblance of football instead of reading about what's next for the Jones-Goodell story.
