During a recent celebration for the Texas Rangers" World Series victory, Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, used an interesting analogy to describe what it feels like to win a major sports championship. In a radio interview, Jones expressed his thoughts on the significance of capturing a title, though he might have chosen his words more carefully.
Jones likened winning a championship to an “absolute glory hole." He explained, “Sports, the rough times that you have with sports, everybody has it. Everybody. You can’t really play unless you have some hard times. But it is the absolute glory hole, to have that elusive win, to be the champion,". Interestingly, this isn"t the first time Jones has used the term “glory hole" in this context.

Over a decade ago, he spoke about the Cowboys" past glory and expressed his desire to return to those days. He said, “I"ve experienced the glory days and the not-so-glorious days with this team. Having said that, I"m determined to bring back the glory days. I want to experience that glory again."
It"s worth noting that Jerry Jones is now 81 years old, and language and expressions can evolve over time. What “glory hole" meant in his heyday might differ from today"s interpretation. However, the sentiment he conveys remains clear, and Cowboys fans share his desire for a return to championship glory.
It"s been a while since the Dallas Cowboys reached what Jerry Jones considers a “glory hole," but they have a chance to prove their mettle this season as they are once again one of the top teams in the NFC. This weekend, they"ll face off against their rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, in a highly anticipated matchup that has NFL fans eagerly waiting to see the outcome.
