Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones saying bizarre things in interviews is not exactly a new phenomenon. But Jones may well have outdone himself while taking part in a weekly radio segment on Tuesday.
Jones joined Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan to discuss several topics, as he does each week. This week, the hosts asked him about Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette’s claim that he likes to eat raccoon. Surprisingly enough, Jones revealed that he not only agreed with Legette, but that he also enjoys squirrel, particularly the brains.
“I’ve eaten a lot of raccoon. The answer is yes. … It’s not uncommon at all,” Jones said. “One of my favorites is squirrel. It’s wonderful. We all had our favorite pieces. … My mom and I would even ask for the brain of the squirrel. Delicious. Seriously.”
Well, if the saying “you are what you eat” has any truth to it, it may be proven in this instance. Because Jones is certainly squirrel brained. But NFL fans weren’t exactly sure how to handle the news.

Celebrity Chef Backs Xavier Legette And Jerry Jones Over Weird Food Choices
Legette, meanwhile, stated that raccoon is a staple at his family Thanksgiving. Which may seem weird, but celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern actually vouched for Legette, claiming that the animal is a delicacy.
“People frown on folks like myself who regularly eat that animal, which is why I was so happy with what Xavier had posted,“ Zimmern said.
“Quite frankly, I can cook chicken, pork, beef, lamb and all the other traditional animals as many ways as anybody I know. However, it certainly makes my diet more interesting.“
Now, personally, you won’t see me eating raccoon or squirrel (especially its brain) anytime soon. But like Zimmern said, I’m not here to hate on people who want to. So long as it’s not considered a pet, I say go for it.
