Thanks to a new $1 billion stadium set to open in 2009, the Cowboys' value increased by 28 percent -- by far the largest jump among NFL teams this year -- to $1.5 billion. They climbed from third to first in the rankings, leapfrogging the Redskins ($1.467 billion) and the New England Patriots ($1.199 billion).
The new stadium added about $350 million to the Cowboys' value. Jerry Jones can now boast that he owns the world's most valuable sports franchise, according to Forbes.
The Houston Texans and the Philadelphia Eagles again round out the top five and remain the only other franchises worth more than $1 billion.
The TEXANS are #4 in all the land?? That's f'ed up.

Actually, not really, they own their stadium.

It's only been a month, mind you...besides, I was too busy rocking Austin City Limits to be lynching. That's more of a springtime thing anyhow.

And I was just talking with JP last night about how the South needs to rise again. We'll do it this spring
