Dallas Cowboys’ Jerry Jones on New York Giants’ John Mara: I Want to Settle It on the Field

There's never been any love lost between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, and that was never more evident than when Big Blue co-owner John Mara spoke out in support of the penalties levied against the Cowboys (and Washington Redskins) for manipulating the salary cap (or lack thereof) in 2010. Naturally, that didn't sit well with Jerry Jones, Dallas' often out-spoken owner.

“I would like to settle this on the field,” Jones said before passing on the suggestion of a halftime boxing match with his fellow owner.

Jones did follow that statement up by saying he felt their relationship was "very good" from his perspective. Despite that, it's no real secret that tensions are bit high at the moment.

Nevertheless, the chance to "settle it on the field" will come sooner rather than later as the Giants and Cowboys will kickoff the 2012-2013 NFL season on Wednesday, September 5th at 8:30 on NBC.

In 2011, Big Blue defeated the Cowboys twice, including a week 17 game for the NFC East crown and playoff spot.

      Good luck to the ‘Big Guy’ … hopefully he’ll stay classy and keep his mouth shut so we won’t have to hate him.

        classy? that is the last adjective I would use to describe Jacobs. I wish him good luck and think he’ll do fine as the #3 back on the 49ers.

    I have to say I am dissappointed in Mara on this one. He is usually one of the most classy owners in the NFL. However after his speech about how lucky the skins and cowboys are made him look bad. The Cowboys and Redskins did nothing wrong. The owners made a rule to not undermine future salary caps in the uncapped year (a good idea) but never got the NFLPA to agree to it so it was collusion and the cowboys and redskins are imo right. Also I believe since 2004 no superbowl winning team ever lost the nfl opener.
