Bad week in Dallas extends to Cowboys' website

Three years ago, the Dallas Cowboys tried to expand their web presence by acquiring the "Cowboys.com" domain name.

The only problem? The Cowboys thought they'd secured it for $275, but in reality the price was $275,000.

Now, the day after one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history, the Cowboys are missing out on the spike in traffic that would have occurred at DallasCowboys.com, given the firing of coach Wade Phillips. As it turns out, someone allowed the registration of the domain name to expire. Though the Cowboys will have an opportunity to rectify the situation before someone else can squat on the site, the address currently points to the Network Solutions website.

Bottom line? It looks like someone other that Wade should be providing a "vivid example of accountability" today.

LOL. This is hilarious. I almost feel bad for the Cowboys...

Seriously though I get annoyed by how many emails I get from GoDaddy.com asking me to renew my domains when they don't even expire for months. How they can not even have it set to auto-renew is beyond me.

I think it is becoming evident, that the root problems of the circuses in Dallas and the Twin Cities extend well beyond the the football field.

Dysfunctional organizations.

One with a tripod of confusion.. and one will a control monger that has focused too much attention on his stadium and dream of playing the Superbowl in it; but both dysfunctional as can be.
