Jerry Jones pokes fun at Dan Snyder for dancing to 'Jump Around'
The Cowboys owner would prefer not to see his Redskins counterpart dancing on Thanksgiving
Redskins owner Dan Snyder is happy. And when he's happy, it turns out, he dances. We know this because he busted a few moves on national television on Sunday night, as the Redskins were putting the finishing touches on their 42-24 beatdown of the visiting Packers.
It was a sight to behold.

That's right: Blast "Jump Around" over the PA and Snyder can't help himself. (We've been there.)
Next up: More celebratory hip-shaking in Dallas on Thanksgiving. Complicating matters: Snyder and the 6-3-1 Redskins have to travel 1,300 miles on three days' rest to face the 9-1 Cowboys. Not surprisingly, the Cowboys are favored -- only two of eight CBSSports.com experts think Washington can win (we're one of them) -- and owner and general manager Jerry Jones would love nothing more than to sweep the season series against an NFC East rival.
In fact, Jones' Cowboys have 88 wins against divisional opponents. When asked which team he's enjoyed beating the most, he offered this: "Well I'll tell you this, nothing makes it any sweeter than to cut Dan Synder's dancing down," Jones said with a laugh on "Good Morning Football," via NFL.com. "I understand he's doing a little boogie-ing up in that box."
Boogie-ing!
"But I'll tell you this, that Philadelphia Eagle game is a big game too," Jones added. "And there's nothing like going to New York, New York and getting some of that. They've handed us a few disappointing moments too, but that NFC East -- we're so proud to be a part of it."
The last time the Cowboys hosted the Redskins on Thanksgiving? November 22, 2012. That was Robert Griffin III's rookie season, back when he there was still hope and promise that he would be the face of the franchise for the next decade. Those dreams would be trampled two years later and crushed altogether by 2015. But the second half of the 2012 season was a heady time to be a 'Skins fan, and the Thanksgiving Day game was the team's second of seven straight victories that propelled them to a division title and the playoffs.
And if Washington can pull the upset again on Thursday, hopefully that means two things: More Snyder shimmying and Kirk Cousins' impromptu pep talks.

Because when that happens, we all win.
