Cowboys first sports franchise in the world to be worth $8 billion

[john van brocklin]

This is amazing. A sports franchise that hasn't accomplished anything in decades to be worth so much. Jerry bought the Cowboys in 1989 for a then-record $150 million. Yet some in here call Jerry "dumb".

Very smart businessman
GM ? Not so much....

 

[john van brocklin]

so sell it and cash out

Excellent idea!!!!

 

[john van brocklin]

Championship!! Oh wait, wrong kind.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Somewhere Jerry is cracking open some Johnny Walker Blue

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Who gives a crap

Jerry is lots of things, but dumb isn't one of them. He is a brilliant business man....after that well you know. I live in the Toronto Area and Leaf fans have it 10x worse than Cowboy fans, and they continue to buy merch, show up to games and buy into the marketing. Nothing with Jerry can/will surprise me

When it’s all said and done Jerry built an empire. He’s been instrumental in how the sport has grown. Tremendous business man. But his inability to relinquish the football decisions have doomed us fans. He talks about doing anything for a Super Bowl, but he’s not serious. The team is his cash cow and mediocrity hasn’t made a bit of a difference.

Great ....... I am glad Jerry knows how to make money.

Now go pay for a good GM and front office ........ because the guys we have now suck.

 

[slick325]

Good for the Jones family.

 

[JW82]

Imagine if they didn’t suck for 26 years??

 

[America's Cowboy]

Agree with everyone, but I believe this year and next this team is going to surprise.

 

[The Ominous]

I just bought a new Trevon Diggs Jersey and am going to The Packers game at Lambeau so guilty as charged I suppose.

 

[Bullflop]

Yep, we've got the most valuable sports franchise in the world and can't spend the dough to get good vet FAs?! You can't make this stuff up!

 

[zrinkill]

Agree with everyone, but I believe this year and next this team is going to surprise.

God I hope so ....... as much as dislike the Jones's, I would love for Jerry to rub it in the leagues face when he wins with a team he built. Because that would mean we win another Superbowl .......and that's all I want.

 

[Bullflop]

For some odd reason, I picture Jerry, sitting in a huge bathtub, taking a money bath, while his team struggles to be playoff winners!

Jerry is certainly not dumb, but his ego has held his team back on-the-field for decades.

People who keep lining his pockets with their hard-earned cash, on the other hand...

 

[lukin2006]

Who cares. All fans should care about is winning...not how rich the Jones muppets are getting by promoting an inferior product for 25 years?

Not only that, but some say his best investment the last couple of years (so 2 years vs 30) was something other than the Cowboys.

Comstock resources is also now worth billions

Yes Jerry is dumb. Constant failure over 26 years to win a championship should make any 'intelligent' person question the 'process'

OR Jerry has been LYING all these years about how badly he wants to win more Championships.

Which makes him a liar and someone knowingly engaging in fraud.

 

[jazzcat22]

Which means nothing is going to change even if we stink this season. The money keeps rolling in no matter how the Cowboys perform.

It is not like they are allowed to spend all of that on players. You have heard of the salary cap. All teams are equal there no matter the value of the franchise.
