He’s worth over half a billion so he doesn’t have enough money to buy it from Jerry.

Jerry only had 10M when he paid 140M for the Cowboys...

 

[xwalker]

Did you talk his ear off about Parnell?

It was pre-Parnell...the dark ages...

where'd you hear this?

 

[xwalker]

where'd you hear this?

It's common knowledge knowledge that he borrowed most of the money.

 

[slick325]

Did he show you what he brought for a wedding present?

Hahaha!!!

Raise your hand if you're tired of hearing about this team's past accomplishments.

oh my gosh.. you better be glad smithroger didn't read this.......lmao... dust those old mothers off and show them off... and get out your old high school prom dates photos out too.

FWIW, I think Roger has a very real chance to be right.
Dallas has cap space, draft picks galore and the talent to win it all.
They will be on a 2nd place schedule and play the AFC South which was a combined 11 games under .500.

So yes I am a homer but this team is far better than people wanna acknowledge simply because they got their feelings hurt this year.

And I am certainly going to believe Roger Staubach has a far better idea of where this team is than a bunch of fans.

I've never heard that before and this contradicts everything I've ever heard. He made a lot of money in the oil business so he could buy the team, he took on some debt but also put up far more than 10 million

The price tag was $70 million for the franchise and $70 million for the leasing rights and $30 million in overdue bills, including several years of payments to the NFL’s pension fund.

Ultimately, Jones forked over $77 million of his own cash and personally lent the franchise $20 million. Banks, concerned about the Cowboys’ financial woes, would only loan him $34 million.

Jones says he had to guarantee the latter loan with his personal signature, using his own receivables and personal assets as collateral.

I miss those dominant, stable teams that were deadly in all phases of the game and had a coach who actually could coach.

Teams not worth that little.

Forbes estimates 4 billion, so Jerry would probaby want double that.

Nah........... people are looking at 7 years of data, not 1.

And I will believe they will go outside and bring in some competent FAs when I actually see it. I fully expect them to do what they always do....... hit the bargain bin.

raise your hand if you'd rather be an Eagles fan with no memories of past accomplishments

LOL..... OK, that was funny. Good one northern.

Jerry has turned down insane offers from arab sheiks for the team.
He is not selling for any price because money has no real meaning for him.
Jerry is a born salesman and making money is in his blood but Cowboys owner is what really means anything to him and where his energy goes.

Two things happen after a bad season. Either the Sky is falling, or the Sky is falling but it's made out of Candy and Spice and everything nice and it's all fallen out of the Sky, just laying all over the ground, for the taking!

Is it what it is.......

I know I am sometimes. it has been half of a lifetime for me since the cowboys won anything of importance in the playoffs.

Why was it a "bad season"?
It was the 3rd best season of the past 8 years.
We broke in new starters at 3 of 4 DB spots.
We saw suspension and injury wreck our stars.

Expectations were not missing the playoffs or placing 2nd in the NFC East. Expectations were not the 3rd best season in the past 8 years (Season that include 2 losing seasons and three straight 8-8 years), expectations were not losing games because of bad game management. I know you already know all this JT but it's just the simple truth. Expectations were another year in which we challenge for the Super Bowl, reaching the playoffs, winning the NFC East, our young players improve and generally, follow up a great year with an even better one.

Right or wrong, that's what expectations were and that's really the problem right?

Fans knew Zeke was facing 6 games, they knew DLaw was out 4, knew Irving was suspended to start.
They saw Bailey get hurt.
They saw Tyron limp off.

If people are unable to adjust expectations honestly that is their own sad fault.
