I'm just pasting in the Jerry Jones section. Nothing we didn't already know but it's nice to see him cast in this light in an article from yahoo that will get a lot of readers nationally. Here is a link to the entire article.

Dreamcrushers: The most destructive owners and GMs in sports
By Jay Busbee | The Turnstile – 2 hours 48 minutes ago
Jerry Jones, General Manager, Dallas Cowboys: This is a tricky one, because Jerry Jones the owner has been a major success. The Cowboys are one of the most valuable franchises in sports, and Cowboys Stadium is one of the most technologically advanced arenas on earth. Jones the owner also hired Jimmy Johnson, who laid the groundwork for the Cowboys’ three Super Bowl wins in the 1990s. But Jones the general manager refuses to cede control of the team to football-savvy outsiders, and as a result the Cowboys have suffered through draft after unspectacular draft. This year’s first-round pick, center Travis Frederick of Wisconsin, drew heavy criticism as being of second- or third-round-caliber at best. The team has won but a single playoff game since 1996, and the GM is a main reason why. Too bad the owner has no intention of firing him.
