Many fans were extremely upset with Jerry Jones for his firing of Tom Landry and the manner in which it was handled.

This fan blames the sports media, too. Jones at least set up a private meeting with Landry. The media, who had been running standouts at airports and the Corp. offices, knew who was being interviewed and ambushed Landry in the parking lot on the way in.

But, the root of the problem is Jones wants to make money and doesn't care about winning. He cares only about profits and team valuation.

He seeks players, like Sam, that give him headlines and publicity. He has made a fortune with over a decade of mediocre performance. The Cowboys regularly beat the Super Bowl champs in merchandise sales, even when they have an 8-8 year.

They're the #2 most valuable sports franchise in the world behind only Real Madrid. (Yankees are #5.)
