As I watched the Final Four, .. and they showed outside aireal shots of AT&T Stadium, ... it looked gorgeoous. It is a fabulous arena, a fabulous piece of architecture.
And I mean fabulous, .. a one of a kind piece of work.
That is Jerry's house, ... and he and his family run that house. They are a huge success at running that house. He has to be extremely proud of AT&T every time it is shown on TV.
There they were hosting the NCAA Final Four, a huge sporting event in America. With dignitaries, star athletes, .. even ex-presidents in attendance!
They have hosted the Super Bowl, an even bigger sporting event in America. They are the host's to many social events at their Billion Dollar Stadium.
What a proud weekend it must be for Jerry Jones, as the eyes of America are on his family's "house". His crowning jewel.
And it dawned on me that in the grand scheme of everything that is "Jerry Jones, his family, and the beautiful stadium", .. the Cowboys are no more than their "pride and joy" show dog that they enter in competition shows. Garrett is the handler.
They love that show dog, and are extremely proud of him when he wins, ... but whether he wins or not, it has little bearing on the family and their grand palace home/business.
They want him to win, but are satisfied and proud even when he "shows well". But when the show is over, they still come back and enjoy everything else that is going on at "the house".
And for Jerry and his family there is nothing wrong with any of that.
The mistake is ours, ... for putting so much stock, so much of our time and energy in the 'show dog' and the 'competition' that they enter him in.
It is huge for us, .. but only a 'piece' of the Jerry Jones empire.
