Nothing shocking here. Most folks think this is normal course of business for Jerry Jones.

Think again. Or was that tongue-in-cheek?

1) First, that's old news. The fact that Jerry got the taxpayers to pay for so much of the stadium only means he's a smart businessman.
2) You are a hypocrite. Everybody knows that Benson is milking Louisiana's taxpayers just to keep the Saints franchise in Louisiana. At what point do you look in the mirror and say "geez, I'm an idiot for bringing this up?"
And even worse, many Louisiana taxpayers can't see some Saints games on TV, even though their tax dollars support the team's existance. See link below:

And here's a couple of articles saying the Saints are the ONLY NFL franchise receiving state funding for a franchise, and that Benson rakes in $23 Million per year in direct payments from Louisiana's taxpayers. This is in addition to the $85 Million in rennovations the Super Dome will get this nyear as a result of Benson signing a new 17-year lease, and in addition to the $210 million rennovation the SuperDome got 2 years ago.

Read the sequence above again HD. You are wrong as usual. I was only replying to ddgravy's comment, "I am glad Jerry was just picking his nose,and not the taxpayers pocket". I was only replying with correct facts.
However ,you blindly jumped on to defend Jerry Jones whom I wasn't hammering on at all. Just the facts HD. Stick to the facts. Hypocrite doesn't enter in on this one....others maybe, and on purpose I might add, but not here.
