The NFL is making some changes to the Rooney Rule announced Monday to try to ensure more opportunities for diverse candidates.

Among them, all teams must have a woman or a member of an ethnic or racial minority as an offensive assistant coach, who will work closely with the head coach and offensive staff to gain experience.

Virtual interviews will no longer be acceptable for head coach and general manager positions, and there will be specific requirements for candidates to become offensive assistants.

 

Cowboys Owner Asks To Dismiss Paternity Case

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones asked a judge Monday to dismiss a paternity case against him, alleging the 25-year-old woman who claims she’s his daughter is involved in

an extortion attempt against him and the Cowboys.
Jones said Alexandra Davis had delivered a draft of her lawsuit to him and asked if he would “make a deal” to ensure he wouldn’t be identified as her father.

Jones is alleged to have paid $375,000 to Davis’ mother, whom the lawsuit says was courted by him in 1995 when she was working as an American Airlines ticket counter agent.
