Some things never get old for some people. For Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, one of those things is facing the New York Giants.
And why shouldn't he? Since he bought the team in 1989, Jones' Cowboys have a 78-48-2 record against the Big Blue, with many of those contests played in prime time before a national television audience.
If you haven't met Mr. Jones, one thing he loves is attention.

In a recent interview with 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, the 83-year-old Jones told the hosts he's looking forward to playing the Giants with new head coach John Harbaugh at the helm, since Harbaugh seems to have the Cowboys' number.

Harbaugh: “I’ve always thought Baltimore outcoached them since he had been the coach there. I had a funny feeling when he got there w/ the Giants, knowing we face him 2 times a year. He’s an outstanding coach.” Harbaugh is 4-1 vs. Dallas.

Jones might be more careful about what he wishes for. Dallas has won 16 of the last 18 contests, but the talent gap has been closing between the two teams. The Giants have been adding studs in the draft and in free agency while the Cowboys have done more maintenance on their roster than upgrading.
Still, Jones knows he has the advantage with quarterback Dak Prescott and two No. 1 wide receivers in Cee Dee Lamb and George Pickens. Until the Giants figure out how to throttle them, Dallas will continue to flummox Big Blue.
