In the short term. And maybe in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>As explained by Beno\u00eet Morenne of the Wall Street Journal, Jones\u2019s $1 billion investment in Comstock Resources is paying dividends in the form of a massive underground ocean of natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s $100 billion present value with gas out there,\u201d Jones told Morenne by phone. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m talking to you on the telephone <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/energy-oil\/jerry-jones-comstock-resources-texas-f11636d6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">rather than trying to fix our defense with the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all the more reason for Jones to hire a traditional G.M. and get out of the day-to-day football business. If he can\u2019t go all-in with his time and attention, he should find someone who can and who will.<\/p>\n<p>And Jones clearly can afford to hire someone to run the team. If his Comstock Investment has mushroomed to a $100 billion present value, it dwarfs the value of his football franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows? Maybe his more industry-accurate achievement of \u201cgloryhole\u201d will get him to lose sufficient interest in an endeavor that has failed to get there for 30 years, and cash out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jerry Jones has found him some \u201cgloryhole.\u201d The Cowboys owner and General Manager, who has insisted on personally&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-260137","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
