Long time ago Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones often finds himself in front of a microphone. The billionaire usually does not shy away from giving his opinion about the football team he owns, but sometimes he also delves into other topics.
Jones’ final routine appearance on Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan proved quite unusual. At one point during the discussion, Jones revealed that he likes to eat raccoons and squirrels.
Carolina Panthers Rookie Xavier Legette’s name seemed to be used as a starting point for the conversation about cuisine preferences. Jones then brought up his past experiences with the aforementioned raccoons and squirrels.

Legette previously shared that he has consumed raccoons in the past during an appearance earlier this month on the “St. Brown Podcast.”

“I ate a lot of raccoon,” Jones said, seemingly with a nod to Legette’s dietary preferences. ‘Yes, the answer is yes. I’ve eaten it while hunting, and I’ve even had my mother serve it at the table outside of hunting. … It’s not unusual at all.”

Jones also recalled times when squirrels would spark family conversations about who might eat certain parts of the animal.
“One of my favorites is squirrel,” Jones continued. “It’s amazing, and my mom was great at (preparing it). We all had our favorite parts. … My mom and I even asked for a squirrel’s brain. Delicious. Seriously.”
