personally i dont really care for jones much. i do think two positive things about him though. 1)he is very passionate and knowledgeable about football. 2it may be killing him but he has learned and is doing his best to let parcells, a proven winner, run the show. sadly, it reminded me about benson. most all that comes to mind with him is money and his negotiations with the state (after turning his 80mil investment into 600mil). on the saints website you can read his bio that sez that football was not a passion of his when he bought the team. i wonder how much it is now? think he has an idea who mike mcmahon might even be? if there were no salry cap ya know jones and snyder would be bidding staggering amounts for any available free agent. benson? "sold to larry ellison!" i thought his quote in december was staggering that he didn't even know nick saban was being courted by miami. a national championship winning coach an hour away, highly courted by the nfl in the past, and owning a team that has floundered for a few years... i think it is mostly, if not all, just money and status for him, not passion for the sport or the team. gimme another round :beer2:

jones vs. benson showdown

If Jones didn\'t have a bad ego problem he would have 2 or 3 more Super Bowl rings. He screwed up when he fired Jimmy Johnson and will never be able to live that down because he expected any coach to come in and do what Jimmy did and when they couldn\'t he fired them. He really never gave Chan Gailey a chance and if he would have left him alone he could have turned the Cowgirls back in to Super Bowl contenders but Jones elected to fire him and hire Dave \"Hand Puppet\" Campo, Jones is his own worst enemy. I have said it before and I will say it again the 2 worst owners in the NFL are Jones and Dan Snyder(But at least they do care). The difference in Benson is he is 100% buisness man and does not really care about the game he sees the team as a car that he is trying to sell to make money, he would rather host a Super Bowl than see his team play in one.
