Nonprofit organization Little People of America says the term Jones used should never be used because it is considered a "derogatory slur to refer to people of short stature," according to Yahoo! News. The group said, "The dwarfism community has voiced that they prefer to be referred to as dwarfs, little people, people of short stature or having dwarfism, or simply, and most preferably, by their given name." I apologize." But here it is to Lace ― really, and I’m serious about that," Jones said.

For his own sake, not to mention his family's, Jerry Jones better never find himself under oath in open court. No amount of prep work by his attorneys could ...

Kellen Moore will have to figure out a way at last to maximize the talents of Tony Pollard. Tyler Smith, the most penalized offensive linemen in college football last season, will not only have to start at a position he’s never played before, he must excel at it.

Jerry thanked him for his “tenderness,” then riffed for five minutes about how the record really isn’t as bad as it looks.
