Jerry Jones Is the New Salt Bae as He Poured it All Over His McGriddle on Hard Knocks

When people call Jerry Jones salty, it now has absolutely nothing to do with his demeanor. The premiere episode of “Hard Knocks” featured several informative and fascinating moments: Dak Prescott spoke at length about his gruesome ankle injury, special teams coach John Fassell explained vasectomies, and CeeDee Lamb implored defenders “not to hit me in the nuts.”

But what stood out among all the highlights was Jerry Jones putting salt on his McGriddle.

Following a phone conversation surrounding Dak Prescott’s shoulder injury, the salty Jones decided to go viral by putting salt on his breakfast sandwich.

I wish I could describe the sheer unadulterated power I felt radiate from the screen watching 90 year old Jerry Jones shake uncut table salt onto a sausage egg cheese McGriddle.#HardKnocks

Jerry Jones salting his McGriddle on #HardKnocks: There is literally NOT ONE THING on a McDonald's menu that needs *more* salt.

Hard Knocks literally showed Dak Prescott breaking his leg and it wasn’t nearly as gross as this clip of Jerry Jones putting salt on a McGriddle pic.twitter.com/NpMc2g6vyI

Big fan of Jerry Jones using the “I’m gonna let you get back to work i know you are busy” while on the phone so he could go eat his sausage McGriddle. Truly admirable and it’s one of the reasons why Jerry is so successful. I will be working that line into my arsenal as well

You don’t get to be a billionaire oil mogul who owns a $5.7 billion dollar sports franchise without adding some salt to a McGriddle.

Remember it’s Jerry’s World, we’re just living in it…
