Reply to comment by garet400 in TIL that in 1996, Dallas business man John Spano bought controlling ownership of the NHLs New York Islanders for $165 million dollars. After nearly a year it came to light he didn’t have nearly enough funds to complete his purchase of his team. by Mrpink415

Rangers are the most valuable team in the NHL, valued at 2 billion

It's really incredible how much Jerry has managed to milk the "America's Team" angle ever since the Aikman/Irvin/Smith years. When I was a kid the Cowboys were so good, so every 10-year-old wanted a Cowboys Starter jacket. They've never let go of that momentum despite...shall we say mixed success.

Ah yes. If only you could be as lucky as the Redskins Commanders fans. They start every season with no hope and their expectations are met every time.

The Cowboys at least won consecutive titles.
