Jerruh winning where (he thinks) it matters most.


The Dallas Cowboys topped a new Forbes study of the world's most profitable sports teams over the past three years, pocketing a total of nearly $1.2 billion over that timespan. The Cowboys' operating income -- defined by Forbes as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization -- was substantially greater than any other professional sports team, and far more than the New England Patriots in second at $623 million.

Forbes' list was compiled from data for NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL teams as well as professional soccer teams from around the globe. Forbes' data ends with the 2021 season for football, while all other leagues' data is through 2022.

The top 10 in Forbes' most profitable sports teams are as follows:

  1. Dallas Cowboys - $1.171B
  2. New England Patriots - $623M
  3. Tottenham Hotspur - $414M
  4. New York Knicks - $404M
  5. Manchester United - $403M
  6. Houston Texans - $356M
  7. Golden State Warriors - $348M
  8. New York Giants - $333M
  9. Los Angeles Lakers - $333M
  10. Manchester City - $329M
  11. Los Angeles Rams - $318M
The top 25 in Forbes' study was comprised of 13 total teams from the NFL, followed by seven NBA teams, four English Premier League teams and one team (Bayern Munich) from Bundesliga. No MLB or NHL teams made the cut due to the way the COVID-19 pandemic devastated their live gate profits and the fact that those leagues' broadcasting deals are not as lucrative.


The Cowboys continue to be the NFL's richest team, a trend which began in 1989 when Jerry Jones purchased the team for a then-record $140 million. Although the Cowboys have not won a Super Bowl nor advanced to a conference championship since their win in Super Bowl XXX, they have remained extremely relevant thanks to a strong fanbase, media, and marketing presence as well as the fact that they have been a consistent playoff contender under Jones' ownership.

Word on the street is Jerry has just written an autobiographical based book with the title of "My Secret to Billion Dollar Profits While Selling an Inferior Product".
Early projections are it to be a NY Times bestseller.

Its an easy read since its only one chapter & three sentences.

I managed to snag a copy, here it is:
Buy a business with customers so stupid, they'll never leave & alway pay what you charge regardless of how bad the product is or becomes.

The worse they'll ever do is piss and moan and occasionally threaten to wear bags on their heads or rent a billboard.

Profit!

oh boy theyre thinking about moving steele to OG
What's wrong with that?

I'm not saying he'll be good there, but what's wrong with trying it if Tyron is healthy?

Good OL coaches usually want to find ways to get the 5 best OL on the field.

im not a big fan of playing musical chairs at OL

and DAL is making room to squeeze in tyron--who is going to get hurt anyway--so they'll eventually have to revert back to steele there

the patriots did it a lot and got away with it because they had a HOF HC and OL coach, and brady getting the ball out in under 3 seconds........ DAL has not been that type of offense, ever

They're not going to spend $20 million per especially for a 30 year old when they have a trio of young guns.
The Cowboys have hit the upgrade button once again by signing Brandin Cooks. Bringing on a proven separator like Cooks is a refreshing move & should make us feel considerably better about the new trio. Gallup is now much further removed from the knee injury so we should also see a better version of him this upcoming season.
Stephen agrees!

and yet somehow in recent seasons the Cowboys ranked at the top of the league every yr in yards in points....

i dont get what youre trying to say
You said Dallas has never been that type of offense, and yet despite all the shortcomings somehow they are right at the top in the things that matter on offense, moving the ball and scoring points.

I don't really get the "musical chairs" argument though. Tyron Smith started his career here at RT and played it again at the end of last yr. Tyler Smith was drafted to be the LT of the future and the future came from game one, and he looks like a 10+ year starter there. The same guy is at C, the same guy is at RG.

Steele is nowhere near as good as Tyron Smith and if Smith is healthy, it's a no brainer to leave him at RT. Steele shows some traits which might make him a pretty solid G, plus he is coming off a knee injury and it might be easier for him to play a position inside where there's more help. There's nothing wrong with trying him there if they believe he is definitely one of the 5 best OL.

McCarthy is not Belichick (and not many are on his level, ever) but Solari is an outstanding OL coach and has developed strong OL's at a number of stops.

The Pats OL coach did a great job for a long, long time and sometimes made some lunch pail type guys into really solid starters. Solari though is very proven and actually has quite a bit of talent on this OL to work with, I'm not worried about the OL at all. In fact I believe it will be vastly improved this year.
