“There's a jealousy there” - Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft don't like each other, claims Mike Florio

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft have been colleagues for decades.

However, that doesn't mean they see each other eye-to-eye or even like each other, according to one NFL analyst. Speaking on "Pro Football Talk," Mike Florio claimed there was some kind of jealousy present between Jones and Kraft.

Here's how he put it:

"There's a jealousy there. Although, you have to act like you're above being jealous of anyone when you're a multibillionaire. But they still they still size each other up. And Jones is in the Hall of Fame. Kraft isn't."

Florio went on to list the number of Super Bowls each owner has presided over to elaborate his point:

"Kraft has six championships under his time with the Patriots. Jerry only has three. He's the GM. Kraft isn't involved. I mean, there's all sorts of differences that they can point to. And, you know, they're not going to be so petty as to articulate it. But that's what underpins the friction."
So apparently the #NFL Owners Meetings should be televised!

How did Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft earn their Super Bowls?

Mega-millionaire Robert Kraft bought the New England Patriots in 1994, according to Britannica.

It took until 2001 for the team to win their first Super Bowl. However, once they started winning the game, the rings came often. From 2001 to 2018, the Patriots won six championships under the able on-field leadership of Tom Brady.

Meanwhile, in Jerry Jones' case, the championships came early and then they stopped. Per Forbes, Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 and his first championship came in 1992. He won again in 1993 and 1995 before the championship drought began.

Troy Aikman quarterbacked each of the championship-winning teams. Since winning in 1995, the Cowboys have failed to even reach the NFC conference championship.
