Albert Einstein once described insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Einstein probably never met Jerry Jones or dreamed of the Dallas Cowboys, who played their first game five years after his death, but his definition of insanity surely fit what the Cowboys have been doing more than a half-century later.
Jones is the over and over again, the constant in the Cowboys' failure.
Dallas is a stark contradiction in the NFL.
The Cowboys are the league's richest team, recently identified by Forbes magazine as the world's most valuable sports franchise, worth $4 billion. That is $800 million more than the next most valuable NFL franchise, New England, which has won four Super Bowls and played in seven since the Cowboys last played in one.
The Cowboys are - or have become - chronic under-achievers since the mid-'90s after Jones forced out coach Jimmy Johnson in a middle of the night drinking rage.

Seems spot on.
