RE: Ownership down

benson is sickening. i have been so depressed about the team and the prospects for the future i have not been able to bring myself to post much. i have hope, even if distant. maybe with insurance and fema etc. a new stadium could be built and turn it into a non-issue. but even if that happens we are still stuck with a penny ante used car greedmeister who puts the dollars ahead of everything else. the simple fact that he bought the team for what?, 30-40million and now it could be easily sold for 500 million, perhaps 3/4 of a billion dollars even... i ask- how much is enough tom? sure some years have gone by, but a tenfold+ return on an investment is enough for most folks. most owners are egomaniacs. being a franchise owner to them is equivilent to what having a high dollar fantasy team is to most working stiffs. many of them are more concerned about what the world and their respective teams communities think of them. do you sense that about this old senile sob who wrings a few more million out of one of the poorest states in union whenever he can? as much as many may hate the personality of jerry jones there is one thing that no one questions- his priority and commitment to his team winning. arthur blank poured millions of his money INTO the falcons and the georgia dome to revitalize them and make them competitive. i wish no ill for anyone but i will rejoice in new hope if he would croak tomorrow. rita may be bad or worse and have the team sold and out of NO overnight. i'll take the chance to at least deal with a different evil than the one that has kept this team from reaching it's potential for over two decades now. success starts from the top. don't take the megamoney now tom and stab the hearts of football crazy fans with the same dagger you claimed to be saving them from 20 yrs. ago!
