A fan decided that throwing a full size football helmet at Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was something that needed to happen this weekend.

The Dallas Cowboys are finally stating to turn the corner after a miserable run the last few seasons. Injuries to quarterback Tony Romo sunk the team’s hopes of making a Super Bowl run the past two seasons — and really the entire tenure of Romo in Dallas.

But with the Dak Prescott era now officially dawning, things are looking up like never before. Even during the Troy Aikman era, the Cowboys have never really had a consistently healthy quarterback, and Dak seems to be that and so much more.

The vitriol sprayed at owner Jerry Jones over the years has varied from the hilarious to the honest but the constant has been that Jones is both the most beloved and most disliked citizen of Dallas. Opposing fans aren’t too hot on him either, but rarely has anyone come after Jones. It appeared that might have been the case before today’s game in San Francisco.

Before the game, someone decided to throw a helmet at Jerry Jones — the reason might not really matter.

This isn’t the first time that someone has wanted to throw something at Jones, and it won’t be the last time someone tries. It does seem like this was an innocent mistake rather than a malicious attempt to harm Jones.

To his credit, Jerry doesn’t cower and run into the tunnel. He took it like a man and proceeded to pick things up off the ground and sign them for fans. If that’s not Texas Tough (by a guy from Arkansas), I don’t know what is.
