It’s always been said that the Dallas Cowboys are “America’s Team.” While that might not be true anymore, it looks like the Cowboys might be the NFL’s team.
According to CBS’ Jason La Canfora and a video that was acquired by TMZ, Dean Blandino — the NFL’s head of officiating — was caught partying with Stephen Jones — Jerry Jones’ son. Stephen Jones also happens to be the Cowboys’ EVP.
From La Canfora’s article:
Blandino appears to be among a group of males and females captured stepping off the Jones’ Cowboys-themed party bus and toward a club where paparazzi awaited outside. The Cowboys hold training camp in temperate Oxnard, Calif., and it is not unusual for team officials to take the bus to LA for dinner, etc.”
If true, this is not a good look for the NFL. And, as you probably guessed, officials from other NFL teams are not very pleased seeing the league’s head of officiating partying it up with an EVP of another team. According to La Canfora, the reactions from officials around the league have been “quite visceral.”
