Brian Schottenheimer jokes about Jerry Jones’ Pointer Sisters song selection at Cowboys camp: 'It wasn't my request'

Jerry Jones went old school with his song selection at the Dallas Cowboys training camp. Video emerged from the practice field this week where “Slow Hand” by The Pointer Sisters, a popular group in the 1970s and 80s.

It was revealed that Jones, the team owner, was the one who had picked the song. It wasn’t exactly the type of music that hyped the team up, and coach Brian Schottenheimer even admitted he would have gone with a different Pointer Sisters track with a little more energy.

“If you noticed where I put it, it was very well thought out, very calculated. It was during a special teams walk-through,” Schottenheimer said. “I did get some looks from the guys. It wasn’t my request. I like faster-paced Pointer Sisters. Like ‘I’m so excited’ (singing). But it was solid.”

It’s hardly surprising that Jones would pick an older song. After all, he is 82. But it’s also not surprising that some of his players, who are mostly in their 20s and 30s, wouldn’t exactly vibe with it either.

Regardless, the team will hope to continue building in training camp no matter what the song selection is. Everyone has to get their turn to control the speaker, and the players probably heard plenty of their songs as well.

Jerry Jones snaps at ‘Pay Micah’ chants from Cowboys fans: ‘That was a faint little sound’

Cowboys fans serenaded Jerry Jones with chants of “Pay Micah!” over the weekend at training camp. While the team owner acknowledged them, he took a bit of a dig at Dallas’ supporters while addressing the media afterwards.

“I heard it light, but not compared to how I heard them say, ‘Pay Lamb [last year],’” Jones said, comparing the negotiations with CeeDee Lamb from last year to Micah Parson’s in 2025 via ESPN. “That was a faint little sound compared to the way they were hollering last year, ‘Pay Lamb.’

“… Whoever’s not in, you can count on a few hollering that. But it was a big loud chant last year on Lamb.”

Of course, Jones eventually signed Lamb to a $136 million contract in late August in 2024. It’s an interesting move, comparing the loudness of the two chants, but the team owner hasn’t been shy about making some odd comments regarding the negotiations with Parsons this summer.

“Just because we sign him doesn’t mean we’re going to have him. (Parsons) was hurt six games last year. Seriously. We’ve signed — I remember signing a player for the highest-paid at their position in the league. He got knocked out for two-thirds of the year, Dak Prescott,” Jones told the media, per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team.

“So, there’s a lot of things you can think about. Just as the player does, when you’re thinking about committing and guaranteeing money.”
