Is there any place safe from football rivalries? Apparently not, especially if you're Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who found himself the unexpected target of a playful jab during country music's biggest night.
The incident occurred on Wednesday night, November 20, 2024, at the 58th annual CMA Music Awards held in Nashville, Tennessee. Peyton Manning, the NFL Hall of Famer, was co-hosting the event alongside country music luminaries Luke Bryan and Lainey Wilson. It was during the opening monologue that Manning, known for his quick wit and charisma, seized the opportunity to poke fun at Jones and the Cowboys.
