‪NEW ORLEANS - Jerry Jones told us a few days ago that “New Orleans has always been like a second home to me.” Little wonder, then, that the Dallas Cowboys owner would be spotted hanging out on Bourbon Street on the eve of Cowboys at Saints.‬

‪This is a business trip, of course, the 3-0 Cowboys set for Sunday Night Football against the always dangerous (and 2-1) Saints.‬

‪But Jerry is Jerry, so “business trips” are, as always, also “pleasure cruises.” ‬

Are there many NFL owners who roll quite this way, hanging out on Bourbon Street the night before a big game, drink in hand?‬

Naturally, along with the cocktail, Jerry was also accompanied by trusty sidekick Roosevelt Riley as the billionaire acknowledged cheering Cowboys fans who’ve invaded “Who Dat?” Country.‬

‪Jones enjoyed dinner at Antoine’s as part of his visit to The Big Easy ...

...which culminates tonight when his Cowboys face off at 7:20 p.m. against the Saints on national TV at Mercedes-Benz Superdome.‬
