From Gregory Ward in e-mail, a link to this RantSports story (” “I want me some glory hole” says Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones” — note ethical dative — by Jesus Flores 7/30/12), beginning:
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones while speaking to the media said, “I’ve been here 23 years. I’ve been here when it was glory hole days and when it wasn’t. I want me some glory hole.”
The reference raised some eyebrows and caused some chuckles.
Apparently, Jones was making reference to the oil and gas industry and not an explicit reference, as Cowboys public relations director Rich Dalrymple quickly clarified.
In response to Dalrymple’s explanation however, Jones said laughing, “that’s news to me” reverting it back to a crude joke.
The term “glory hole” in the oil industry refers to the hole drilled, from which oil flows and rises to the surface through flow lines and to the production facility.
An entertaining ambiguity, which RantSports doesn’t explain.
