Yeah, I did see that. My only hope is that the stupid gene does not pass down the line... or that he just changes his mind and sells the team for some reason and his kids can't get it. You never know though, sometimes the kids are better. Look at Jerry Jones son, he was the one who pushed to dump T.O. and move on -- Jerry would not have done that by himself. So, maybe he will be a smarter owner than his dad(though I sure as hell hope not!).
I have been going to games since I was 7, and was 28 years on the wait list. I well remember what is was like when the Cooke's owned the team. Aside from running the team itself better, there was just a whole lot more fan respect from them.
