Cowboys are out played by The Seahawks

It is official! The Cowboys lost a close game tonite. Actually, Romo did ok until the end when he misplaced a ball for a field goal. One bright spot is that Tony signed a endorsement deal.

Julius Jones lost the ball that set up the win because he lost the ball in the Cowboys' own endzone, giving Seattle a safety 2 points. They only needed one of those to win the game.

Will Parcells be back? Will T.O. be back? Will Romo recover? Will Dallas have a winning season and a Superbowl run while still in Texas Stadium? These are the questions that we will ponder for the next few months as things take shape in Arlington for the NEW STADIUM, which will cost over a billion dollars to complete.

A billion Dollars!!! Do you have any idea how much a billion dollars is? Here is a simple graphic:



The mound of cash is 20 feet tall, 50 feet long, and 31¼ feet wide. The single stack of dollar bills is now climbing to 300,000 feet, or 56.8 miles.

It is about half as long as a conventional tennis court.

This is the dollar amount for the damage caused by a natural disaster, according to insurance claims filed by victims in four states that were affected by a category 3 hurricane, (Dennis) in July, 2005.

This amount of money is what an ideal elementary school class size (400 students) can expect to earn in their lifetimes, combined.

I would love to have a percentage of that amount. I am a little surprised that there is not an outcry about the money that sports teams have to throw around. But I guess if you are able to afford to charge $100 a ticket and get it, you can spend the money anyway you want to.

More reason for a flat consumption tax!
