Dollars & Sense: Does Cowboys Jerry Care More About Winning Than Fans Think?

Welcome to Whitt’s End, whether you’re at the end of your rope, your day, your week, or even your coffee. *Sermon for today: Money

and Common Sense. Eleven days make up one million seconds in the time unit. One billion seconds? thirty-two years. It is sense to

highlight the shocking disparity, even coming from a lowly sportswriter whose net worth is expressed in relative milliseconds. Jerry

Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, is worth $14.5 billion. It is also his 81st birthday. Consequently,

No, Jerry never ever ever wakes up in the morning thinking about ways to make more money, despite the unreasonable criticism from

irate fans. On the other hand, he never, ever sleeps at night before trying every trick in the book to make his football team better. Why?

moved up in the draft to choose Dez Bryant and Morris Claiborne.

Jerry may not be successful, but he also isn’t unchanging. If he doesn’t succeed, you can blame him for not trying. You can cry

“nothing will ever change,” but he will rebuild with the head coach, starting quarterback, and core that has hosted or won a postseason

game three times in a row in 2024. If you believe that Jerry Jones is still driven only or primarily by financial gain,

you haven’t been paying attention.
