Cowboys owner Jerry Jones next to Green Bay Packers fan outside Lambeau Field
Jerry Jones has undoubtedly amassed a sizable collection of stories concerning what he’s experienced as the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. However, it’s a bit hard to believe the details of a tale involving a Packers fan he claims literally left her mark on the car that was transporting him and his family from Lambeau Field after a win in Green Bay.
I think it would be a stretch to suggest billionaires are inherently more interesting than people with more modest means, but having access to a virtually endless supply of cash certainly gives you a better opportunity to pursue a lived experience that has the potential to produce some pretty unique stories.
That’s especially true when you use some of your fortune to become the owner of an NFL team, which is the title Jerry Jones has held since he dropped $140 million to buy the Dallas Cowboys in 1989.
Since then, he’s earned a reputation as one of the most hands-on owners in the league, and he never strays far from the spotlight due to his tendency to be very candid about his approach to managing the franchise and the trials and tribulations that come with being the man at the top.
Based on what he had to say during a recent interview, one of the downsides seemingly includes the possibility of being aggressively mooned by a fan of a team you just beat, although the details of the anecdote in question don’t really add up.
Jerry Jones claimed a Packers fan mooned him and his family after a game in Green Bay, but his story is fishy
On Tuesday, Jones phoned into Shan & RJ on Dallas-area radio station 105.3 The Fan ahead of his team’s showdown with the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday night, and he devoted some of the interview to recounting an experience he claimed to have in Green Bay more than two decades ago.
I can’t prepare you for this story…
#Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told @1053thefan about a “hefty” female #Packers fan who ran up to his car more than 25 years ago, pulled down her pants and pressed her bare backside against the window—with his grandchildren inside the car.
“When she pulled away, it was just a big print. … We can still see it today.” 😭😳

Based on his account, the Cowboys secured a win on a frigid day in Wisconsin before he hopped into a car that contained some of his grandchildren. He asserted they were leaving when the vehicle was approached by a “hefty” female Packers fan who pulled her pants down and slammed her buttocks against the window, which managed to leave a mark once she pulled away after her skin got stuck to the glass.
I couldn’t help but look back at the history between Dallas and Green Bay to try to figure out when that incident transpired, which is when I encountered the first red flag, as the Cowboys have only defeated the Packers on the road three times since Jones took over as the owner: 2016, 2008, and 1991.
Those first two contests don’t come close to matching his 25-year timeline, and they’d also be ruled out due to relatively warm weather that would prevent the situation he described from unfolding: the low in Green Bay when they played on October 16, 2016 was 57°F, and it didn’t fall below 60°F when they faced off on September 21, 2008.
It did flirt with freezing when the Cowboys won on October 6, 1991, but that was 35 years ago, not 25 (and it was also played at Milwaukee County Stadium as opposed to Lambeau Field).
The 84-year-old could possibly be excused for that mix-up if not for the fact he noted his grandchildren were around “four or five years old,” but from what I can garner, that would not have been the case considering their ages (the oldest are currently in their early 30s).
As a result, it’s a bit hard to imagine this actually unfolded as Jones says it did despite him describing it as one of his “greatest memories.”
I feel like the most plausible explanation is that he mixed up franchises (there was a game against Pittsburgh, which has a color scheme reminiscent of Green Bay’s, on January 28, 1996 that fits the bill on the weather front), but this could end up being one of life’s unsolved mysteries.
