Mrs. Jones said, “You know it had been a dream… It was such a big challenge to do this, and it was something I knew Jerry wanted to be involved in sports. He loved being an Arkansas Razorback, and it was such an exciting time in our life the time.”
She added, “We were at the University of Arkansas and he’d loved the game of football, and when he found out that the Dallas Cowboys were available for him to be a part of, he was just thrilled beyond explanation and he came to our kids and it’s like this is a great undertaking, and we’re you know, it’s your, it’s our future, it’s their future, and we’re risking our future on this investment.“

Jerry Jones’ team hasn’t won the Super Bowl since 1996. They have continuously underperformed every season, and fans are left disappointed every year. It’ll be fair to say that the Billionaire owner has seen both the highs and lows of being the Cowboys owner.
Hopefully, the glory days will return to Dallas. Everyone associated with the Cowboys is hungry for a Super Bowl win. Their current team is quite talented and has the potential to win it all. However, they’ll need to be more consistent.
