I"m not disputing anything you wrote because I have no knowledge of the history of the owners..... I just got a quick laugh when you mentioned the team might not still be in Dallas. The way they've been playing I was seeing:

The Abilene Cowboys.... lol

The rumors were they might go to Los Angeles. I've been predicting the collapse of big sports as the next bubble, and the Cowboys have a fairly thin profit margin right now, despite being the most valuable franchise in sports.

If the big TV contracts dry up some (advertising revenue is significantly down,) jersey sales tank ($80-$150 for replica jerseys?), corporations quit underwriting luxury boxes, and people realize they REALLY don't have to spend $200 a ticket, $20 for parking, and $8 for a beer, the NFL as a whole could be in serious trouble. Over half of the NBA teams are losing money now. The Buffalo Bills are probably in financial trouble; the Carolina Panthers have attendance problems even when they make the playoffs.

Additionally, I don't think most cities are in a position now to offer a team a billion bucks in incentives to move, so I don't think you'll see any more St. Louis Rams deals anytime soon.
