Why in the world did Jerry Jones just call Dak Prescott “the daddy?”

Jerry Jones. Bonafide weirdo.

Jerry Jones is the frontrunner for the Weirdest Quote of 2016 award.

Jones described quarterback Dak Prescott's stiff-arm of Washington Redskins' safety Donte Whitner during the Dallas Cowboys' 31-26 win on Thanksgiving in perhaps the oddest way possible:

We can assume "he's the daddy" is a compliment, although Prescott had no idea what it meant either.

"I don't know what that means," Prescott said. "I have no kids. Don't want any."

Is "he's the daddy" about to become a more popular expression? Let's hope not.
