Jerry Jones, Chris Christie Share Awkward Celebratory Group Hug (GIF)

Things got super awkward in Jerry Jones’ box at AT&T Stadium on Sunday. After the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions 24-20 in their NFC wild-card round matchup, the team’s owner was obviously ecstatic. And from that excitement, one of the most awkward group hugs of all time was born, thanks to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Christie, a lifelong Cowboys fan, enjoyed the game with Jones from the owner’s VIP box. When Dallas won, Christie joined in on a hug between Jones and his son, Stephen Jones, and needless to say, it was uncomfortable. We apologize if you have trouble erasing that image from your memory. Luckily, their divisional round game will be against the Green Bay

Jones injured his ankle during the first half of the Cowboys loss to the Patiots on Sunday and could miss substantial time, according to a report on NFL.com. Jones has been already ruled out for next Sunday's game against the Rams. This is not the first time Jones has been hurt this season. He dislocated his shoulder in a Week 2 win over the 49ers, but he has played through the injury. The injury means DeMarco Murray and Tashard Choice will receive the

Jermaine Jones Could Be a Yank by Next Week

Jermaine Jones has never been afraid of a bit of controversy. In 2004, he took a fairly softball question, “Are there any gay footballers in the Bundesliga?” (Easy answer: I don’t know) and turned it into a major story when he answered “Hopefully not”. Classy.
