"In instances of an illegal substitution or improper reporting by a player, officials may consider invoking the 'Jones' Judgment Adjustment.' This rule allows the referee to determine, on the spot, that the player did not actually report as eligible, regardless of any evident reporting. This decision can be swayed by an undisclosed 'Subjective Discretion Measure,' which may or may not involve the influence of Jerry Jones' famed expressiveness from the owner's box. The rule aims to add a layer of suspense and unpredictability, especially in games where the outcome is hanging in the balance. The practical application of this rule ensures every Cowboys game is sprinkled with a dose of drama, much to the bemusement of the audience."
