Saudi prince's Cowboys-colored jet could land him in hot water

WASHINGTON -- When the Dallas Cowboys play their first home game Sunday night and unveil their new stadium to a national television audience, the best seats in the house will be in the ultra-exclusive Owners Club.

The suites in that area sold for $500,000 a year, feature an upscale bar, personal guards and private elevator that whisks suite holders from underground parking directly to their section on the Hall of Fame level.

One of the big-money suite holders is a prince who finds himself mired in controversy over his private jet, which is painted in the colors of his beloved Cowboys.

Team owner Jerry Jones will preside over Sunday's game from his suite on the 50-yard line. A suite nearby has been bought by one of the Cowboys’ most ardent fans, Jones’ close friend, Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world.

Hopefully watching the G-Men beat the 'Boys in a big way.

The “prince” doesn’t know which end of a football is the front.

Sadly, lots of young American girls will do anything to get into a luxury suite at any NFL game.

Don't forget the football itself is pigskin.

That muslims exert any influence over our lives and/or culture is an affront to me, even if is only football. His presence on our sacred soil is an act of war IMO.

I hope that when somebody shoots down his plane (allah forbid) it hits a Hormel Pork processing plant, and they are later unable to separate the remains of the human vs porcine pigs.

Organized Saudi gang member.

Yeah, my kind of friend.

I suppose if you are Jerry Jones, you need all the friends you can.

Jerry Jones is celebrating the opening of his new stadium with a man who helped finance 9/11. Let him know how you feel. www.dallascowboys.com See Contact Us at the bottom of the page.

We voted against his stupid stadium.

In my opinion, NFL football is the most immoral waste of time and money since the gladiatorial games of ancient Rome. Perhaps the sport once had its good points, back in the days of Johnny Unitas and Vince Lombardi, but those days are long gone. I fail to see any benefit in watching competing teams of ghetto drugheads, real-estate millionaires, and other assorted subspecies of jocko homo running around after a stupid ball in order to rack up a meaningless victory in pursuit of a championship that brings nothing to the city where the team is based.

As far as I am concerned, Jerry Jones and his terrorist buddies can stuff the Jerrydome up their asses and get their carpetbagging asses out of Texas and back to Arkansas and Arabia. F the Cowboys, F the NFL, and F Jerry Jones.

I don’t know about Lone Star longnecks but I know for a fact that the adult beverage of choice for some members of the Saudi Royal Family was Johnny Walker’s “Black Label”. Saw it!

Saudi Roast Goat = Texas Roast Pig Both DEEElicious!

You know.......

Why is it that non-Muzzies have to dress to conform to their codes when in their company but Muzzies don't have to wear crosses when visiting with Christians?

When in Rome..do as the Romans do...

Theirs is a closed/controlled society, whereinas ours is an open society respectful of others' customs (though, they are not of ours).

I believe the above pic with prince Chuck and his previous squeeze is IN Saudi Arabia.
Hell, even Hillary covers her upstate New York style to appease them.

Funny you two would ping me on this as I read it this morning and sent the following to both the 'writer' of the piece and the Publisher of the Startlegram:


Re: "...Bandar, who is observing the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, now lives in Saudi Arabia and will not be at the game against the New York Giants."

The Prince will not even be in the United States Sunday night, so with Obama pulling the run out from under Poland on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion via a secret treaty with the Nazis, you come up with this front page hit piece that has no real Cowboy connection. You even include a photo of Bandar with George W. Bush.

Seems your liberal bias is showing loud and clear.

No wonder the newspaper business is dying. You people abandoned any pretense of journalism long ago and only practice left wing propaganda.

Yep, sport fans, we got liberal newspaper goons even here Deep in the Heart of Texas!

That’s why the first place Saudi businessmen head off to when they land in the States, is the nearest nudie bar.
