Jerry Jones reportedly threatened Roger Goodell during a phone conversation about running back Ezekiel Elliott’s six-game suspension for domestic violence.

“I’m gonna come after you with everything I have. If you think Bob Kraft came after you hard, Bob Kraft is a pu**y compared to what I’m going to do,” Jones told Goodell after being informed of Elliott’s suspension, according to ESPN.

Jones is already the most powerful owner in all of sports, but he’s now quickly also becoming the coolest. It takes balls the size of watermelons to tell the NFL commissioner that you’re coming for him and that another owner is a “pu**y.”

It’s so alpha, I don’t even know where to begin. This Jones/Goodell civil war is absolutely fascinating. ESPN points out they used to have a great relationship, and both helped each other rise to where they are today. Now they’re like scorned lovers, both appears intent on destroying the other.

Owners are already reportedly preparing options to oust Jones from the league if necessary. I’d hate to see it happen, but the war would be incredible.
