Yeah and some on the board actually think the Joneses will sell or relinquish control.

Ton of success right as the NFL started to move into its prime...70s baseball led, 80s nfl and baseball were pretty close, early 90s football passed baseball with the strike and never looked back....Dallas won a ton and captured a massive following then Jerry turned it into a marketing machine....and the rest is history.

Right place, right time and right combo of brand, success and positioning

lol literally no one thinks that.

You obviously don’t read certain threads.

What struck me is Houston Texans being #6 on the list.

Just proves that being perennial winners isn't a requirement for cashing in.

The NFL is a platinum mine now. Sports team ownership is a big deal now. Anybody with any type of money is trying to invest in sports franchises. Probably the safest investment you can find.

I'm glad to see the Cowboys are still making a million dollars a day.

It is interesting how big the gap is. But then the Jones own their stadium outright; so that is a huge factor especially since it is in use so much of the year for all sorts of events.

This is why Jerry is in the HOF; he showed and led the way to making BIG Money in the NFL.

Undeserved financial success. Unfortunately the Jones family will never part with the golden goose.
This shows how much of a lemming this fan base is. Lets keep rewarding failure. When I see someone wearing Cowboys merchandise, I see a clown.But since I'm a free market capitalist I'll deal with it.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Imagine how much they’d be worth if they actually had a championship the last 10 years…..

It’s deserved. They worked hard for it. We may not like it but they aren’t just sitting back collecting money. They we constantly trying to make money.

 

[T-RO]

The most shocking thing to me about this?

You could combine the 2nd and 3rd most profitable NFL teams (Pats + Texans) and it wouldn't match the Cowboys.

Maybe less.... The Cowboys make a lot of money from the haters.

Jerry Jones' biggest failure has been not adhering to the meaning of the old saying, "Do not re-invent the wheel." Jones bought the team and what he conceived for achieving ultimate on-the-field success was a wheel made up of Jimmy Johnson and him.

His wheel paid off. Then part of the wheel fell off. Jones mended the wheel with Barry Switzer. The wheel was still new, under warranty and paid off again. Then the warranty ran out.

First, Jones tried being the entire wheel. It did not work. Along the way, Jones has tried mending the wheel with others like Jason Garrett and Will McClay. It still has not worked.

Regardless of what his critics may say, Jones is a brilliant money making machine. The OP proves that point yet again. The league, who initially balked at his revenue initiatives, eventually embraced him--eventually acknowledging his overall impact on the league's profitability and fame by honoring him with a Gold Jacket.

Jones' continual ultimate on-the-field shortcomings has been his refusal to accept that the old wheel stop cutting it decades ago. The best business owners recognize who are underachievers and replace them. It is a very common business practice, even within the National Football League. Commonly, general managers are short-term managers.

Jerry Jones. His wheel is nicked. Dented. Banged up. He keeps jacking up the car, takes the wheel off, pries off the tire, hammers out what he sees, puts everything back together and set off again down another road--leaving fans wondering if the wheel has been mended well-enough to keep the tire pressured. Or watch it fall flat. Again.

Maybe I missed some things but I think it’s more of a hope than anything else

Wishing it would happen and thinking it will happen are two very different things.
