'What was that?' French robot voice interrupts Jerry Jones' weekly radio interview

DALLAS — Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has made a habit of being appointment viewing and listening when he steps behind the microphone or calls into a radio show. And sometimes not always intentionally. During Jones' weekly interview with Shan and RJ on 105.3 The Fan , Jones was discussing the current state of the Cowboys' offensive line depth when a voice interrupted the Cowboys' billionaire owner.

It just wasn't quite clear who the voice belonged to. "We're going to count on our depth that we've been ," Jones said, before a robotic voice abruptly interrupted him and the call appeared to drop. Now through our unofficial translation, the voice appeared to be in French, and was saying something along the lines of his call being dropped.

The voice mentioned "Orange," which is a French telecom and cell phone carrier. Our guess is the carrier issued the automated message as it dropped Jones' call for whatever reason. Listen to the awkward exchange at the 11:35 mark here . The abrupt interruption led to a funny reaction from the Shan and RJ crew.

"Jerry are you there?" "Can we get a translator for that?" "I've never heard anything like that in my life." Jones quickly re joined the show, noting that his new connection "may be better for us." And it was. You never know where a Jerry interview might go.

Before the connection mishap, Jones addressed the controversial ending to the Cowboys' 20 19 win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday night at AT&T Stadium. The Lions had converted a two point conversion to go ahead of the Cowboys late, but the play was called off because the officials said the Lions' Taylor Decker, an offensive lineman who caught the two point pass, didn't report as a receiver.

"Let me put it like this: First and foremost, the defensive team is supposed to know it's clear who the receiver is eligible that might line up [as eligible]," Jones said. "That's clear, the rule calls for that. You're supposed to know that if you're playing defense.

Anything you do to fuzzy that up can get fuzzied up, and that's what happened." Jones also pointed to a tripping call that was called against the Cowboys on their previous possession that impacted how the end of the game unfolded. Video showed the tripping was actually on the Lions. If the call went against Detroit, the Cowboys likely could have iced the game before the Lions would get the ball back.

"I just can't believe the convoluted way we ended up winning that ballgame," Jones said. After the Eagles' loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, the Cowboys are in the driver's seat for the NFC East division crown. Dallas needs to beat the last place Commanders in Washington on Sunday to clinch the division and guarantee a home playoff game..
