Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appeared on NFL HQ and NFL Network made the grave mistake of letting Twitter submit questions.
Twitter question and answer sessions can be a great way to engage with social media. At times, they can be excellent opportunities for trolls to heckle others. Jerry Jones appeared on NFL Network on Wednesday, and the network made the huge mistake of letting people on Twitter ask him questions.
COMING UP:

Owner, President & GM of the @dallascowboys will be LIVE on @NFLHQ ! Tweet your questions #AskJerryJones
Best make air!
The replies are as incredible and amazing as one would think they would be. There were some serious ones and some hilarious ones.
#askjerryjones Do you regret agreeing to this? Have you regretted everything? Are you capable of human emotion? @nflnetwork @dallascowboys

@nflnetwork are the @DallasCowboys planning to draft a QB in this upcoming 2016 Draft? #AskJerryJones

@nflnetwork @dallascowboys @NFLHQ #AskJerryJones who do you think will win the championships for ncaaf?

@nflnetwork @dallascowboys @NFLHQ would you consider brining in Johnny Mazel if he was available

Is Johnny Mazel a distant cousin of Johnny Manziel?
That Johhny Manziel guy might actually be a better quarterback than Johnny Manziel.
There were also tons of questions about Jones and his open support of Greg Hardy.
@nflnetwork @dallascowboys @NFLHQ why are you determined to have a 3 ring circus in your team? Bryant, Hardy and Randell?

And then there were the ones that were completely off the rails.
If Fogle could rush for 2500 yards how many kids would you bring to the team christmas party? #AskJerryJones

Rae Carruth is expected to be released from prision in 2018. With a need at WR, will you be interested in signing him? #askjerryjones
— Art Vandelay (@KingFavre) November 25, 2015
Did you sign Greg Hardy because the Cowboys never beat anybody? #askjerryjones

Hopefully NFL Network hasn’t learned their lesson and will continue to give Twitter opportunities to ask controversial figures questions so that more epic tweets like these can continue to happen. Jerry Jones and his Cowboys are playing against the Panthers on Thanksgiving Day.
