7-year-old pens hilarious letter to Jerry Jones about Cowboys' struggles
Seven-year-old Rylan Wood, like many Dallas Cowboys fans, isn't happy with the team right now. So, he decided to air his frustrations in a letter to owner Jerry Jones.
Wood came up with the idea while watching the Cowboys' game against the Tennessee Titans on Monday night with his mother, Kayla Jimenez.
"He told me, 'if the Cowboys lose, I really want to write a letter,'" Jimenez told Matt Howerton of WFAA-TV. "So, I was like 'OK.'"
The Cowboys lost 28-14, falling to 3-5 on the season. Wood had to be up early for school the next day, so he didn't get to watch the end of the game.
"The first thing he asked me when he woke up was, 'did we win?'" Jimenez said. "When I told him no, he said, 'OK, I'm writing this letter after school.'"
Dear Mr. Jones,
My name is Rylan Wood. I am a 7-year-old 2nd grade student in Mansfield, Texas. My family has been Dallas Cowboys fans since the team was started. I have a lot of Cowboy gear and I have met Zeke, Taco, Jason Witten and two other players who play on other teams.
You have made my mom very mad because WE SUCK! Every game day she is yelling at the TV and turns off the game. We are wanting to believe in the boys but its hard. I hope "Coach Garrett" is clapping if this letter gets to you. See what happens when Dez X is gone?? The cheerleaders are better (than) the team this year. I do not want to hurt your feelings.
Thank you, Rylan
"They've broken my heart a little bit," Wood told WFAA. "They've been doing a good job, but I just want them to win every time."
