At his best, Jerry is a good-natured, high energy Cowboy fan with money. At his worst, he's a meddling owner, desperate for the limelight at all costs, and prone to ill-advised decisions. Jerry once said any of 500 coaches could have won the two Super Bowls Jimmy John... Tiger could not have asked for a better start in his return. On the first hole, Tiger had a good drive, a very nice approach shot, and a birdie. On his second hole, a par 5, he drove the fairway, and then hit his approach to within 5-6 feet.

It was Feb. 25, 1989. A lot of people are still skeptical. But, and it's a big but, Jerry Jones has left his mark on the Dallas Cowboys, both good and bad. The success in the 90s is undeniable.
