Maybe partly because he felt guilty there was no emergency warnings about the tornado during the Cowboys televised game.
Nice gesture though.

I've seen celebrities with less money get criticized for donating this amount.

Yesterday, Jerry Jones donated $1 million to help rebuild the Multiple schools in the Dallas and Richardson school districts that were damaged by last Sunday night’s tornado.

He’s a bad GM. But he is certainly a kind and generous man.

Here’s some real credit Jerry has earned.

He really is a wonderful chap. Things like this show it.

I'm certain that it isn't Jerry's responsibility to report the local weather.
I never said it was and it isn’t but the media mad a big deal out of it and it’s relevant to his team that dominates network ratings. Check the news.

If you just google Jerry Jones donations there are a bunch more. The Jones family has donated millions to several hurricane reliefs. I remember one I couldn't find, something about footing the bill for families of I think it was first responders for an event and their union had a problem with it and rejected it.

I've always found it interesting that you'd be hard pressed to find any former players who had anything bad to say about Jerrah.

I was joking, because you said, "Jerrah has done a lot of stuff you never hear about." So I was thinking, if you don't hear about it, how would you know? :grin:

Hey folks, I want to apologize for my posts in this thread yesterday, I should have stayed away entirely as my demon came to play. I have no idea of Booger's motive for the contribution and should not have projected that as strictly self serving or one upping Cuban. Usually, I come to frolic and play among the threads to chase the demon but it came to play instead and I should have realized it. Demon 1, CC 0 yesterday and all day. Some dark days do not contain light and we can't find the switch.

Nothing to apologize for, my friend. You expressed your opinion, without attacking any posters.

You assumed he felt guilty.

Since we are guessing here, I'm going to guess he did it out of
the kindness of his heart.
