Jerry Jones, the longtime owner of the Dallas Cowboys, is often found behind the microphone. The billionaire is usually not afraid to share his thoughts on his football team, but he also delves into other subjects from time to time.
Jones' recent regular appearance on Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan turned out to be quite unusual. At one point during the discussion, Jones revealed that he likes to eat raccoons and squirrels.
Carolina Panthers rookie Xavier Leggett's name was apparently used as a starting point for a conversation about his culinary preferences. Mr. Jones then brought up his past experiences with the aforementioned raccoons and squirrels.

“I ate a lot of raccoon,” Jones said, nodding to Leggett's food preferences. “Yes, the answer is yes. I have eaten it while hunting, and my mother has actually served it to me at a table away from the hunt. …That is quite unusual. Not.”

Jones also recalled how the squirrel sparked conversations in her family about who could eat certain parts of the animal.
“One of my favorites is the squirrel,” Jones continued. “It's amazing. My mom did a great job (cooking). We all had our favorite creations. … My mom and I even asked for squirrel brains. It's delicious. Really”
