How much does it bother Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that his team has not won a Super Bowl since 1996?

He said on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown pregame show that he releases his emotions by screaming into a pillow.

“In Dallas, we don’t have many wild varmints,” Jones said “I’m sure we have a lot of bobcats; I don’t know if we have any mountain lions. But if you hear an eerie sound coming across Dallas, that’s me with my head in the pillow screaming at night, pining away, wanting to get into a position to get a Super Bowl.”

The Cowboys (2-1) beat the New York Giants 23-16 on Monday night.
