…And I suggest you give it to him.
Romo took out an interesting insurance policy this past offseason. That 150K premium is a doozy but hes gettin paid either way it looks like.
So the talk this week in the NFL is globalization. I’m not really sold on this whole idea as I think a large part of what makes the NFL wildly popular here is that its our sport. The rest of the world doesn’t play it (well) nor do they understand it. So now Goodell is talking about expansion into London? Talk about home field advantage. For the Cowboys slant lets ask Jerry Jones what he thinks. Quoted from this NYT article:
The league faces a much harder sell to get the Dallas Cowboys — known for some reason as America’s Team — to play here, even once in a generation. The owner of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones, emerged from a private conference on sports globalization yesterday to insist that international games were fine for some teams. “It probably doesn’t fit us,” Jones quickly added. He said American football was based upon “my town against your town” rivalries, best played out in their home stadiums.
I’m gonna go ahead and agree that its a bad idea. Jerry certainly won’t want to give up a home game. Also, props to the NFL for half assing their globalization strategy. What better way to bring your product to the good people of London than by sending a team with the worldwide commercial appeal of the Miami Dolphins.
Last, we have an extremely detailed look at the Cowboys uniforms from some weird lookin guy on ESPN Page 2.
