DALLAS — Jerry Jones called the Cowboys blowout loss to the Saints "extraordinarily disappointing," but FEMA called it a "major disaster," by accident.
FEMA, also known as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, usually deals with relief after major natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes and earthquakes, but on Thursday, they tried their hand at football commentary.
The agency sent out an email announcing federal disaster assistance to North Texas "to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 15, 2024."
I'm sure no Cowboys fan would turn down financial compensation for the embarrassing 44-19 home opener, but sorry to burst y'all's bubble: the email was an accident. FEMA confirmed to WFAA that the email was inadvertently sent and was meant to be used "for training purposes only."
Funnily enough, the release also stated they would make federal funding available to Fort Worth County, which doesn't exist.
So if you live in "Dallas, Fort Worth, Rockwall, Tarrant, and Denton counties," unfortunately, the Cowboys loss will not entitle you to "grants for temporary housing and home repairs" or "low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses." Talk about adding insult to injury.
All Cowboys fans can hope for now is a win against the Ravens on Sunday.
