Jerry Jones<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Call me old-fashioned and that’s just fine but there’s something appropriate about owners acting like owners.<\/p>\n

I guess I am spoiled by how the Tisch and Mara families have handled themselves as owners of the New York Giants: with dignity and class in abundance.<\/p>\n

Their approach has paid off with four Super Bowls.<\/p>\n

While the Dallas Cowboys have enjoyed such success, it came before Jerry Jones took over as owner of the team in 1989.<\/p>\n

The ‘Boys have won tons of games and made bushel fulls of money — Jones is worth $2 billion — but it\u00a0 seems pretty empty without football’s biggest prize, the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Just ask the many fans of “America’s Team”.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s right or wrong, Jones seems to have an insatiable appetite for fame, perhaps even at the cost of winning.<\/p>\n

Jones’ current ad for Papa John’s, for instance, in which he raps, coming five years after a likeness of him as a “breakdancer” in another pizza ad, is arguably not owner-like.<\/p>\n

You wouldn’t see the Tisch’s or Mara’s doing anything like that … they’re too busy putting together Super Bowl teams.<\/p>\n

Players like Eli Manning and Michael Strahan have been the face of the Giants over the years.<\/p>\n

With the Cowboys it’s Jerry Jones front and center … and that’s not a great thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
