Jerry Jones caused a stir this week at a Cowboys pep rally (seriously), when he implored fans to come watch his team "beat the Giants' ass."
Asked for his reaction to Jones' battle cry, Giants owner John Mara didn't sound intimidated. According to ESPN.com, Mara pointed to a bandage on his forehead and joked, "you should see what Jerry Jones looks like."
Later, during a guest spot on "The Mike Lupica Show," Mara tossed out an unsolicited dig at the Giants' in-state rival.
"We'll show up," Mara said. "But that is actually the first time I've heard that comment. I have been so caught up in the (Tim) Tebow coverage that I haven't had time for anything else."
