The Chiefs owner, Lamar Hunt said that Jerry sticking his next out to buy a business that was losing 1 million a month was one the bravest/craziest business moves he'd seen.

People forget that.

But how much risk was it really with one of the most iconic brands in sports. Losing or having a cash flow negative of a million a month for an entity generating hundreds of millions a year isn’t as dire as some want to make it out or it wouldn’t have sold for 140 million.

All that was needed was to turn the tide with a little more success on the field.

Even as Bum had run down the success on the field during his brief tenure as owner from 1984-1989 the value of the franchise increased from 85 million to 140 million.

That clears that up (lol).......so the only way this gets a new owner is he ( and probably Stephen too ) is 6 ft under.

Amazing, especially considering that when Forbes did its annual valuation of franchises this year, the Broncos were 10th. So if the Broncos are 10th and worth $4.5 billion, what are the rolling-in-dough Cowboys worth? Forbes says $6.5 billion. The smartest business consultant in NFL circles, Marc Ganis, told me he thinks Jones would get $8 billion or $8.5 billion if he tried to sell. Jones, when I asked him, said:

“Ten up.”

Asked to clarify, he said, “more than $10 billion.”

“But let me make this very clear,” Jones said. “I’ll say it definitively. I will never do it. I will never sell the Cowboys. Ever.”

typical U.S.A. citicen.

Just throw an a-bomb on them. Cancer of human kind.

Who cares about his statemants ? I do not!

Talk to your diasbled sun. IDIOT.

Great owner. Mediocre GM in training.

Problem is though , at least for most fans, is the owners top priority is the success on the field including hiring the right front office and coaching staff.

Success off the field or our popularity was bragging rights for a franchise with so much success on the field. Without that success on the field our financial success off the field is of little meaning to most fans .

HOF has secured Jerry's legacy AND Jimmy's too if we're being honest. In other words, they BOTH build the dynasty, they both needed each other, and one couldn't have done it without the other. HOF makes it pretty clear they BOTH deserve credit and the childish ego, jealousy and bickering over who did what don't change that. In fact, it's pretty obvious they both have moved on, so your post is a bit odd.

Sure, he's a HOFer for doing things Jimmy Johnson told him to do 30 years ago, but when you jealously fire that guy and go over a quarter of a century of doing nothing "your way" it taints your legacy.

Jerry would have never had the know how or football knowledge to do what it took to create that dynasty in the 90s. That was all Jimmy. The only credit Jerry gets for that is listening to Jimmy.

When it comes to football Jerry is the joke of the NFL.

He's was put in the HoF for being a contributer not for his work as a GM or having anything to do with wins and losses. Jimmy was put in for on field reasons.

Is a floating stadium possible? Charge like outer space flight ticket prices? Would be kinda cool.

Did anyone really think he would sell regardless of how high the price might be? He sees the Cowboys as his hobby, his job and a great investment.

Naw he sees the Cowboys as the entity that made him famous. Although he was wealthy before the Cowboys no one knew who he was, no he's the most well known owner in sports and he loves the spotlight, the press conferences, the spots on the local radio shows and will never give it up

DonaldM · May 17, 2022

Musk should have brought the Cowboys. 20b. Much cooler platform than Twitter.

I think the other things apply as well, but I agree this is a big part of it.

Lol, I make jokes about pretty much anything involving the Cowboys and rivals. I'm obviously a lot harsher toward our rivals, but I joke about our team, and Jerry isn't safe from my jokes.

In a hundred years with over triple digit descendants and an organization that only three of those descendants run and making a paltry 3 percent on market value, the pressure to sell will be great.

It's hilarious to me that that is your perspective. Meanwhile, your heart festers with hate for the Jones boys.

It's hilarious to me how some folks can't distinguish dislike for how the Jones boys run the team from hating them as a people.

I don't know Jerry, but my guess is he'd be hilarious to have a few drinks with and listen to his stories. That said, I'm sick of him and Stephen playing fantasy football front office, "football guys" who don't win anything beyond the occasional division title. Three playoff wins in 26 years under this model is utter failure.

There are posters on CZ that are obsessed with hating the Jones boys. It's personal to them.

while I wish it were that simple, I honestly don’t think it’s about the money….I think it’s about the ego- jerry wants to do it his way and he wants the credit….he’s never going to win with the setup they have now.

end of the day same result, but I genuinely believe jerry wants to win more than anyone but his primary motivator is feeding his ego….he’s at the end of his life, 10 billion or 100 billion makes no difference now for him, his quality of life doesn’t change…a Super Bowl win though validates his perceived life’s work (in his eyes)

That's it in a nutshell.

Jones would love to win another title. He'd pay dearly to do so. But what he won't do is share the stage with someone else in order to get that title. He had to hold his nose and hire Parcells to get the new stadium, and that was the last time we'll see something like that til Jerry World becomes obsolete. Jones couldn't handle the praise primarily going to Jimmy Johnson for the 90s teams, he isn't going through that again.

Hopefully one of the skeletons this scumbag has in the closet will come out and he will be forced to sell the team.

Be careful though because the hall monitors in here will put you in detention.

CoachD · May 23, 2022

I wish Elon Musk would just dump the Twitter purchase and buy the Cowboys because 26 years of mediocrity is unacceptable!

FloridaRob · May 23, 2022

The Wilpons said they would never sell the Mets. How did that work out for them?
