Why Jerry Jones the Eagles went too far in trying to ruin Dallas’ Turkey Day tradition

Yeah, the Philadelphia Eagles tried it.

And even the NFL shot it down the Dallas Cowboys are not going to forget their NFC East rivals tried it any time soon.

What the Eagles did was the tried to break up a Thanksgiving Day tradition in Dallas by proposing to the league to have the Cowboys play their annual Thanksgiving Day games away from AT&T Stadium every other year.

The issue was shot down 8-0 by the NFL competition committee. The Eagles withdrew the proposal and didn’t even make the floor for the NFL owners meetings being held this week in Phoenix, Arizona.
