Mac the Knife Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Side note:The originally intended name of the Dallas Cowboys was... the Texas Rangers.Side note #2:The Spurs moved to San Antonio not because the team was bought... but leased. You read that right. Tired of losing money, Chaps ownership leased the team to the folks who brought the team to San Antonio with the option to buy. Had they not exercised that option, the team would've went back to Dallas after three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
