Jerry Jones feels 'as low as a crippled cricket's ass' about Romo's injury
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones certainly has a way with words.
With his franchise quarterback, Tony Romo, reportedly set to be sidelined for about eight weeks after fracturing his left clavicle in Sunday's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Jones did not hesitate to convey what he and many Dallas fans were feeling.
Jerry Jones on how he felt when Tony Romo went down: "Just about as low as a crippled cricket’s ass."

Not sure how many people have seen a crippled cricket's butt, but one can assume it is harder to get much lower than that.
Judging by the rest of Jones' quote, he was really, really sad.
"And I was feeling sorry for myself. I thought the world was picking on me. How could anybody be as bad off as me?" said Jones, according to the Brandon Jones of the Dallas Morning News. "Of course, we know I'm afraid to think that because lightning can strike. And I've had it too good in my life. But I certainly thought about Tony, how simply disappointing it is because of his expectations."
Cheer up Jerry, you still have Brandon Weeden.
