The Dallas Cowboys of the NFL, on Wednesday, announced that they will be donating $50,000 to the El Paso Community Foundation Victims’ Fund, which was launched to help provide assistance to families affected by the recent mass shooting in Texas. This came after Gene and Jerry Jones Family Foundation announced that they will contribute to the fund. “It’s just unthinkable and a tragedy,” Jerry Jones said Sunday. “Obviously we all want to think how can we make different those issues. I’m sure all Americans are thinking that way.” Cowboys Executive Vice President Charlotte Jones Anderson, who is also the chairman of the NFL Foundation sad that she would be contributing to the fund. “Our hearts and support are with the entire El Paso community and especially with the families of the victims of this very tragic event,” Charlotte said in a statement. “Our organization has long enjoyed a wonderful following from the people of El Paso, and our wish is that so many others in Texas and around the country will be inspired to assist the loved ones who are grieving,” she continued. Apart from the Cowboys, The Houston Texans Foundation and the Bengals are among the teams that announced the donation. The Texans will donate $100,000 while The Bengals and the NFL Foundation will donate $75,000 to the Dayton Oregon District Tragedy Fund, through The Dayton Foundation. The Dayton Foundation will work with local authorities to distribute the funds to those affected by the shooting. “Dayton is part of our community and we are saddened by the tragic events that took place this weekend,” Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all of those affected.” EL PASO INCIDENT- More than 20 people were killed Saturday morning after a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. The suspect behind the shooting has been identified as a 21-year-old white male from Texas that has been linked to racist and anti-immigrant writings that appeared online prior to the attack.

Dallas Cowboys

Overview The Dallas Cowboys first saddled up in 1960 and quickly rose to fame and may as well be the heart and soul of the NFL. Their games brim with thrill and excitement, so much so that they have sold out the arena since 2022. As of now, the team is the most expensive franchise in NFL history. Filled with gusto, the team has made it to Super Bowl 8 times. With a classic &#8216;Lone Star&#8217; on their helmets, the team sure shines bright in the NFL skies. Introduction The Cowboys have quite a history and Clint Murchison has put his blood, sweat, and tears into making the franchise what it is today, establishing the franchise in 1960. It started with an effort to give Dallas its own team due to the expansion of the NFL. Murchison finally bought the team to Dallas after tedious negotiations with the Washington Redskins owner, George Preston Marshall. Murchison and Marshall did not see eye to eye and had bad blood between them, so much so that Murchison paid only $2500 for a vote in his favor from Marshall, whom he had a falling out with. The team has such a huge fan following that they almost sell out every game they play, both home and away. The Cowboys have had the most loyal fan base for more than a decade now and the numbers just keep adding up. And why not? 1966-1985 was the golden era for the Cowboys as they would reach 18 playoffs, win 13 NFC championships, and compete for the Super Bowl 8 times. The team has 5 Super Bowl Championships to their name.

Santa Clara Levi s Stadium California USA, EDITORIAL USE ONLY PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xDarrenxYamashitax 20231008_jma_yl1_436 Currently, they play at the AT&amp;T stadium which can host a total of 80,000-100,000 in a single game. What’s interesting about this is the Cowboys have been selling out arenas for more than a decade. No wonder that the team is one of the richest NFL franchises to ever exit. The sports giant is worth a whopping $ 9 billion with multiple Super Bowl Wins combined with several NFC Championship winnings throughout its lifespan. The Dallas Cowboys in a nutshell The Cowboys have been to 8 Super Bowl Championships and have won 5 of them. On top of this, they have won 8 NFC championships so far. Later down the line in 1989, Jerry Jones acquired the Cowboys for $140 million and as of now, the franchise crosses a mark of over $9 billion in value. The Dallas Cowboys is worth $9 Billion according to Forbes, which is 13% more than what the team was worth last year. Impressive numbers indeed. What’s interesting is Cowboys are worth more than any team, in any sport! Generating $1.1 Billion in revenue last season alone, they have an operating income of more than $500 million.  Founded 1960  Home Venue AT&amp;T Stadium, Arlington, TX  City Arlington, Texas  Division NFC East  Known As Cowboys, America’s Team  Owner Jerry Jones  Worth $9.1 Billion  The team also has a revenue per fan of $86 in a metro population of 7.8 million people. Cowboys operate in debt of 3% and along with this, they have a win-to-player cost ratio of 153. The valuation comes as no surprise since an average game ticket in AT&amp;T stadium goes for roughly $108, not to forget the stadium’s capacity to host 100,000 people at once. Dallas Cowboys’ 2023 Schedule The team has had a staggering start with three wins and two losses, which were against the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys are known for their stellar defense, and it has been for the past couple of years. As of this 2023 season, the Cowboys rank 2nd in the NFC East standings, just below the Philadelphia Eagles.

In addition to this, their nefarious defense has some key players like Micah Parsons, Damone Clark, and DaRon Bland. The team will soon be going against the San Francisco 49ers in a much-anticipated game, considering how they have been disqualified at the hands of the 49ers in the past.

One of the most notable games was back in 1994 when the team defeated the 49ers by 38-21.

He is currently rated no. 9 as a quarterback per ESPN. This season he has had more than 900 Passing Yards with a 71.3 completion rate and a touchdown. LOS ANGELES, CA &#8211; JANUARY 12: Quarterback Dak Prescott #4 of the Dallas Cowboys walks off the field after losing the NFC Divisional Round playoff game to the Los Angeles Rams at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on January 12, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) Micah Parsons (Line-Backer) Micah Parsons, nicknamed ‘The Lion’ has been doing wonders for the Cowboys’ defense so far. With 9 Solo Tackles and 4 sacks to his name this season, Parsons is going strong and is known to have a rivalry with Tyreek Hill. His participation in the upcoming games remains questionable as he recently sustained a knee injury. Dec 24, 2022; Arlington, Texas, USA; Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (11) kneels on the field during the second half of the game against the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&amp;T Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports CeeDee Lamb (Wide Receiver) CeeDee Lamb is a venerated Wide Receiver for the Cowboys and has put up exceptional numbers recently this season. With 23 receptions, 309 receiving yards, and 1 receiving touchdown, the receiver has made quite a reputation for himself. Nov 24, 2022; Arlington, Texas, USA; Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (88) is interviewed after the game between the Cowboys and the New York Giants at AT&amp;T Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports Head Coaches Although the team has been there for a little more than 6 decades, they haven’t changed Head Coaches that frequently. This just shows how much trust the players have with their coaches. Tom Landry coached the team circa 1960-1988, for about 3 decades. Now that’s impressive. The team won 20 out of 36 games they played under Landry’s wings. They also won 2 Super Bowl Championships under coach Landry. Another notable name is Jason Garrett, who coached the Cowboys for 9 years, between 2010-2019. Garrett and the Cowboys have won 3 NFC East Championships in their time together. February 1, 2023: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said head coach Mike McCarthy calling the offensive plays is the right step for the team. &#8211; ZUMAm67_ 20230201_zaf_m67_009 Copyright: xClarencexHillx As of now, Mike McCarthy has taken his position when he started in 2020. With McCarthy, the team has taken 1 NFC East Championship title. So far, the team has had a total of 9 coaches, under all of whom the team has achieved something or the other. Another notable thing is that Wade Phillips was the only coach who was fired from the Cowboys after a disappointing 1-7 record under his leadership. The AT&amp;T Stadium The AT&amp;T Stadium is one of the most popular attractions of Arlington. Located at 1 AT&amp;T Way, Arlington, the stadium is the home to Cowboys’ games and numerous concerts. It is considered one of the most expensive stadiums/arenas which cost around $1.2 billion to build. The world-class athletic facility has more than 3000 LCD displays. It also has one of the largest HD video display boards in the world. Apparently, it weighs 1.2 million pounds. The arena has a capacity of 80,000 people which can be modified in real time to fit 100,000 people. Rowdy: The Dallas Cowboys Mascot The mascot Rowdy is known for his oversized face, a big cowboy hat, an ever-smiling face, and not to mention, cowboy boots. He dons the number 00 on his jersey. He’s been with the Cowboys since 1996 and has his own antics like driving around a four-wheeler and mocking the opponents. Apparently, he was dubbed as the “Most hated NFL Mascot” by Sports Illustrated. Along with this Rowdy is also involved in charitable work and appears in Special Olympics, Minor League Baseball, and The Salvation Army. Apparently, he is also a part of a yearly Mascot convention where he represents the Cowboys.  Height: A tall glass of water  Weight: 1 Arling-Ton  Position: Centre of Attention  Jersey: #00  Controversies Surrounding the Dallas Cowboys The Dallas Cowboys have been involved in their fair share of controversies throughout the decades. Some of the most historic Cowboys players have been involved in some depressing situations. The reasons for these controversies aren’t light-hearted either. From battery, to assault, to drug addiction, and even harassment, there have been all kinds of bad omen surrounding the team and some of their individuals. Terrell Owens, the WR of the Cowboys between 2006-2008 was a subject of interest due to his emotional outbursts, his showboating, and some negative comments on the field. He also at some point overdosed on pain medication and allegedly tried to commit suicide. Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame The Dallas Cowboys have 20 coaches and players who have been inducted into the Cowboys Hall of Fame. Some of the notable names are Deion Sanders, Michael Irvin, Jerry Jones, and Tom Landry. This batch of people has done a lot for the Cowboys and they might be the reason why the Cowboys stands worth $9 Billion today. However, we found the list of these people interesting.  Year Player’s Name Position Tenure  1980 Bob Lilly Defensive Tackle 1961-1974  1985 Roger Staubach Quarterback 1969-1979  1990 Tom Landry Coach 1960-1988  1994 Tony Dorsett Running Back 1977-1987  1994 Randy White Defensive Tackle 1975-1988  1996 Mel Renfro Defensive Back 1964-1977  2006 Troy Aikman Quarterback 1989-2000  2006 Rayfield Wright Offensive Tackle 1967-1979  2007 Michael Irvin Wide Receiver 1988-1999  2009 Bob Hayes Wide Receiver 1965-1975  2010 Emmitt Smith Running Back 1990-2004  2011 Deion Sanders Cornerback 1995-1999  2013 Larry Allen Guard/Tackle 1994-2005  2017 Jerry Jones Owner/President/GM 1989-Present  FAQs  1. Who is the most famous Dallas Cowboys player? Without a surprise, the title goes to the Hall of Famer Roger Staubach. He is best known for throwing the ‘Hail Mary’ pass in the fleeting moments of the game against the Minnesota Vikings. He changed the game of gridiron and created a ‘quarterback playbook’ inadvertently due to his Hail Mary pass. 2. Are the Dallas Cowboys still undefeated in 2023? The Cowboys are currently on a roll in the 2023 regular season. They won the games against the New York Giants, The New York Jets, and the New England Patriots, but surprisingly lost to the Arizona Cardinals by 28-16. The game against the Cardinals is still considered an anomaly by a lot of NFL enthusiasts. So, unfortunately, the Cowboys have tasted a defeat this season, ruining their streak. 3. Who is the Dallas Cowboys Head Coach? As it stands, Mike McCarthy is the head coach of the Cowboys. He has been the HC to the Cowboys since the 2020 season, hence having a 4 year tenure with the Cowboys. Before this, he was coaching the Green Bay Packers and led them to win the Super Bowl XLV. The Cowboys still have to win a Super Bowl with McCarthy in command. 4. What is the Dallas Cowboys anthem? Yes, they sure do have an anthem. It is called Get Up (A Cowboys Anthem), originally written by Kelly Clarkson, the pop sensation. The song was released in August 2012 as an effort by Pepsi and the NFL to promote the Dallas Cowboys. The song was written in a very short time and garnered the attention of the fans. It was re-released in October 2012 by RCA Records. 5. Who is the most famous Dallas Cowboys fan? The team garners support from pop stars, the hip-hop world, and the domain of Hollywood. Apparently, Denzel Washington is sometimes seen at the Cowboys’ practice camps. Actress Eva Longoria is also a Cowboys fan as she grew up in Texas. Apart from this, we have seen people like Jay-Z and Selena Gomez perform at the Cowboys game. Safe to say that the Cowboys have pretty high-profile fans.
