The exchange occurred on the airwaves of 105.3 The Enthusiast in Dallas with hosts Shan Shariff and Bobby Belt. Jones was in the center of answering a problem about the Cowboys’ receivers and how quarterback Dak Prescott does a good occupation in environment up the offense. Jones was saying he likes the place his workforce is at and that support was on the way with James Washington returning from the foot fracture he suffered throughout training camp.   

“Get me some oxygen,” Jones joked right after using a moment to get his voice back. “Much better nonetheless, how about a large shot of Jack?”

He could not end his full assertion on Washington simply because he started coughing. Following a even though, the hosts requested if he was ok and Jones confirmed everything was fine. 

Jones was probably joking, but asking for whiskey may not be as well ridiculous of a request since some persons do use Warm Toddys — a combination of whiskey, honey, lemon juice and drinking water — for their cough. Medical professionals would probably advocate getting the alcoholic beverages out of that concoction if you’re sick, but it seems like Jones just preferred to have a very good time talking football.
