FRISCO (105.3 THE FAN) - He said it after a game, some feelings allegedly got hurt, and now it's the biggest joke that's been put on a T-shirt!
At the Dallas Cowboys press conference today at The Star in Frisco, team owner Jerry Jones, COO Stephen Jones and star running back Ezekiel Elliott took part in a press conference making Elliott's new six-year, $90 million contract extension with the Cowboys official.
At the end of the presser, Jerry Jones stood up and presented Elliott with a T-shirt that said "Zeke Who?" on the front.
On the back, the shirt read, "That's Who" with a silhouette of Elliott doing his signature jump over a defensive player.
Jones was calling back to comments he made after a preseason game last month when he was asked about rookie Tony Pollard's strong performance afterwards.
The Cowboys owner slyly replied, "Zeke who?" to 105.3 The Fan's Mike Fisher and other media members. Jones quickly added, "we're having some fun.''
They said that it was “disrespectful” as Elliott was still holding out for a new contract at the time and threatening to sit out the entire season.
Negotiations had yet to seriously begin, either, but the two finally came to an agreement this week as Elliott will suit up against the New York Giants in Week 1.
For $90 million, Elliott can now sit back and laugh about it as they prepare to chase a Super Bowl together.
