New Hall of Famer Jerry Jones: Owning Cowboys ‘labor of love’

Jerry Jones — owner, president, and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys —spoke about his accomplishments on a conference call Thursday, as he prepares to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Aug. 5.

Jones bought the Cowboys in 1989 for $140 million, a purchase he said was “not a pretty investment, not one you or anyone would admire at the time.”

However, Jones quickly turned Dallas into an NFL powerhouse, the Cowboys winning three Super Bowls by 1995.

“My most important thing is I don’t think I’ve worked a day since I became the owner of the Dallas Cowboys,” he remarked.
