Jerry's 'Zeke who?' joke: Believe me, Cowboys holdout Ezekiel Elliott fully gets it

FRISCO - Dallas Cowboys Report Video LIVE from The Star: Jerry's joke - did Zeke get zinged?

Jerry Jones was telling a joke. And anybody who pretends otherwise - including anyone claiming to feel “disrespected” by the Ezekiel Elliott-related quip - is telling a fib.

A handful of us corralled the Cowboys owner on Saturday night after the team’s preseason win over the Rams in Hawaii. The on-the-record conversation eventually turned to the subject of the performance of rookie running back Tony Pollard vs. the holdout absence of Elliott.

“Zeke who?” Jones said, cracking up himself and the rest of us, too, because we all immediately recognized the silliness of it.

Yes, Jerry Jones said "Zeke who", when asked if Tony Pollard is his "best negotiator".

But... this is the full "Zeke who?" sound bite from Jerry, complete with the necessary context of his follow-up to the joke, saying the #Cowboys need both Zeke Elliott and Tony Pollard. pic.twitter.com/yDiZnlwwke

Jones then added, gesturing into a camera, “We’re having some fun - and NOT at your (Zeke’s) expense.''
