Yes, it’s been quite a year for Owner Jones.
A new helicopter to fly around in. A new Dallas Cowboys Interplanetary Headquarters with an indoor stadium to practice in. Two golden tickets in last year’s NFL Draft.
And, of course, the ultimate Jerry Jones glory moment, his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
(Please ignore the football team’s divisional round playoff defeat).
Now, it seems, the Oakland Raiders are headed for Las Vegas, and it’s Jerry who’s being given behind-the-scenes, late-night-at-the-craps-table credit.
As Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury-News explained, Jones was able to talk Bank of America into helping finance the Vegas deal after casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson pulled out.
