3 Things: Dirk On A Boat, Josh In A Tux, Jerry Jones Swapping Spit With Eli Manning

Mike Fisher -- DB.com

Dirk Nowitzki’s jumpshot doesn’t have its passport. Josh Howard’s good suit must’ve been lost by the dry cleaners. And Jerry Jones has a reaction to Eli Manning’s Marks-a-Lot (and maybe his spit) …

    Thing No. 1: This morning, I mentioned Josh Howard’s pseudo-throwback-1976-tuxedo jacket. You asked for a look. At this link is the best photo we can find (so far). Yes, it's sideways. I'm telling you, J-Ho is zany!

   Thing No. 2: Dirk didn’t shoot it very well in Monday’s 110-105 preseason-opening loss to the Magic. He has an explanation for his 3-of-12.

   Thing No. 3: There’s a story going around that after the Giants christened new Cowboys Stadium with a road win, some of the New York team members celebrated by hanging dirty jockstraps on the locker-room mirrors, spitting on Jerry Jones’ hallowed ground, and, in the case of Eli Manning, autographing a cement wall to commemorate the outcome.

   Jerry was on his 105.3 radio show this morning and good-naturedly responded to the spit-and-stuff questions:

   “This is the first I've heard of it,’’ Jerry said. “But the stadium was built to handle saliva."
