Yeah, we're thinking that this isn't what Jerry Jones had in mind. The debacle actually started in 2007, when the Cowboys organization had a winning bid of $275,000 on the Cowboys.com domain name but didn't pay up due to an internal miscommunication.

From DomainNameNews.com, back then:

The domain name brought in a $275,000 bid from a phone-in bidder at the recent TRAFFIC domain live auction in Hollywood, Florida. The bidder had been earlier identified to be a representative from the Dallas Cowboys NFL team. An inside source confirmed with DomainNameNews that the deal began to fall apart over a misunderstanding with the bidder on what the bid of "275? actually meant. It appears the bidder thought they were buying the domain for $275.00 rather than $275,000.

The site sat for several years, but now, the owners of the domain have set things up.

was still alive. I'd point him to this and then laugh like hell as he considered the myriad tortures he'd like to perform on you.
