I guess when u got it like that, u can spend it like that. Jerry Jones, owner and dictator of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, has spent money this offseason like his life depended on it, and maybe it does. Jerry is in his late 60's and his team hasn't won a playoff game since 1996 which means they've been no closer to a Super Bowl ring than the worst team in the NFL during that stretch, the Arizona Cardinals. So I guess Jones decided this year that no matter what he will spend the money he thinks it takes to get the right players (and some wrong ones too) onto the Cowboy Ranch; and go 110% full force for that elusive 6th Super Bowl Franchise win. He's brought in and signed free agents, drafted a couple of first round players that will demand big signing bonuses, extended contracts for several  current players and has put the finishing touches on a new Billion Dollar football stadium that will be the new home of the Cowboys in 2009

His efforts have not went unnoticed, he's done similar off-season spending over the last few years but nothing like he's done this year, the only owner who can match his ridiculous spending is the Oakland Raiders Al Davis, but there's one big difference between Al and Jerry's spending bonanza; the Cowboys are actually fielding a team that can realistically go to a Super Bowl

One can only hope that Jone's cash efforts will be rewarded once the season starts because the last 2 seasons his team has bowed out of the playoffs in the first round when they clearly had the better talent. If NFL history serves me right, spending a ton of money on players during the offseason, doesn't equate to winning in the post-season. Dan Snyder and the Washington Redskins can attest to that. The only way the Rich-boys make it out of the first-round this year is better-improved offensive line blocking, better tackling and coverage from their defensive backs (start with benching over-rated safety Roy Williams) and most importantly Tony Romo has to step up and be more focused and prepared (getting rid of the over-rated Jessica Simpson would help). Then maybe Jerry Jones and his monopoly style money will be most valued
