I have questions, but no answers.
Can anyone tell me why the NFL’s televised games featuring the Dallas Cowboys and their opponents show owner Jerry Jones in his press box only when his team is winning?

That practice has been going on for as long as I can remember. The joy and happiness Mr. Jones displays when his team is winning is the only side of the game that television and the NFL think fans want to see.
Is it a network practice? Is it by way of the NFL’s dictates? Is it at Jones’s request?
I ask because the TV practice I just described vanishes when the Cowboys are losing.
Want proof of my assertion? Then check out the replay of last Sunday night’s game between the Cowboys and the New York Giants. Jone was shown on camera only once, when the Cowboys received the opening kickoff, and never again after they went 3-and-out.
The Giants dominated Dallas and won 28-20. But had they held the lead throughout, viewers would have been treated to Jerry and his entourage high-fiving it all night long.
