Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has been part of many intriguing stories over his three-decade-long ownership regime. The franchise was under the control of an unknown Arkansas businessman, who introduced himself to the Dallas Cowboys fan base in a unique manner. But before he took over the Cowboys and changed their fortunes, some fans might not know about Jones’ costly coin toss.

In 1989, Jones bought the Cowboys for $140 million from owner H.R. Bum Bright. But before finalizing their deal, an intriguing dispute happened between Bright and Jones. It was about finding out who was responsible for an advance Bright made 3 to 4 weeks before Jones’ deal.

The pair then decided to do a coin flip, and Jones ended up losing the toss and almost $300,000. However, the wholesome engagement with the Cowboys was something Jones looked for from day one. His declaration of involvement in everything from socks to jocks was a sign of his commitment.

Dallas Cowboys will always remain special to Jerry Jones

The franchise has been a part of Jones and his life in Dallas. He was essential in turning the team from a dismal franchise of the late 1980s to finding instant success by the end of the 1990s. Despite his image of an outsider and a misfit, Jones was eventually an inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
