Saw this yesterday Van...this guy is a joke...Cowboy fans....millions of them....Jerry Jones fans??? His family probably hates his arrogant obnoxious ass. Just more proof that money can't buy "class". Oh and buy the way...how many owners do you know that have their own "tv show"?? It thought those were reserved for coaches. Oh I forgot...he IS the coach.VanC":tfc603j8 said:http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2011/02/01/steelers-packers-are-in-jerry-jones-bowl/?icid=main%7Chtmlws-main-n%7Cdl3%7Csec1_lnk3%7C199130

To aid Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones in paying the construction costs of the new stadium, Arlington voters approved the increase of the city's sales tax by 0.5 percent, the hotel occupancy tax by 2 percent, and car rental tax by 5 percent. The City of Arlington provided over $325 million (including interest) in bonds as funding, and Jones covered any cost overruns. Also, the NFL provided the Cowboys with an additional $150 million loan, as per their policy for facilitating financing for the construction of new stadiums.
