10. Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys
In 2012, Jones delivered one of the funniest lines ever heard at a press conference.
“I’ve been here when it was glory hole days and I’ve been here when it wasn’t. Having said that, I want me some glory hole.”

On it’s own, that some glorious blowhard talk. But with Jones, it was just another in a long line of blowhard moments.
After winning two Super Bowls with Jimmy Johnson, Jones wanted the credit. He said to Johnson that 500 guys could win the Super Bowl with the team he put together. It hasn’t worked out that way.
More recently, he made it clear that he wanted to draft Johnny Manziel, despite Zack Martin being higher rated and making more sense for the team. Fortunately for the Cowboys, Jones eventually lost that battle of wills to his son, Stephen.
During the 2017 offseason, Jones has been inconsistent regarding his plans with long time quarterback, Tony Romo. After planning to release him (and reportedly telling Romo of his plans), Jones has failed to actually release him.
Jones has enjoyed great success running the show in Dallas. But he’s also been a blowhard from Day 1 and has shown no signs of slowing down.
