Sure, the Dallas Cowboys are currently in a team crisis the likes we haven't seen since that star-stricken Lakers team, but good news is still around the corner. You know, that new billion dollar stadium Jerry Jones is getting ready for next year. Yeah, it's supposed to be state of the art and shouldn't have any problems being finished ... oh. Wait. There's this.
Well, I guess Jones could call his billionaire friend T. Boone Pickens up in Oklahoma and see if he'd help out with some of the money problems. Oh yeah, I forgot about this. That probably won't work.The Dallas Cowboys are seeking to borrow $350 million by Dec. 1, according to numerous finance sources, in one of the worst credit environments in the nation's history.
The club's proposed deal would refinance $126 million the team borrowed last year through the now-imploded auction-rate securities market, as well as add new debt to cover cost overruns at the team's $1.2 billion stadium that is set to open next year, the sources said.
I guess it is time to clarify this. The Dallas Cowboys have an injured star quarterback, a suspended cornerback, an unhappy star receiver, an overworked running back, a coach that looks better suited to be a member of the Wiggles, a schedule tougher than four-year-old beef jerky and now a stadium that doesn't have enough funding to be finished.
Think alcohol sales are up in the Valley Ranch area? I'm going with yes, yes they are.

Shane, I am beginning to believe you truly are a Dallas Cowboys fan, as you love to write about them every chance you get---hehehehe
You need to just suck it up and admit that the Boys are truly America's Team and draw more readers than any other NFL team ;) (and sell more merchandise, also)
Have a great day,
Brenda ;)

Nunya, sounds like a baby trying to learn how to talk, get a life. and a team for that matter. Everyone knows the cowboys cry more than any other team in the NFL, just look at their owner. Jones cries more than anyone in the league. And your boy Romo is a middle of the road QB! So stick that in your bottle and suck on it!!
