## Resource

Michael Irvin’s got a message for today’s Cowboys: stop whining about the perks, because Jerry Jones built this empire—turning training facilities into revenue-generating hubs like The Star. With players now earning $50–$60M annually (compared to Irvin’s $6–$8M), he argues they’re lucky to be paid what they are—and if they don’t like the tours or media blitz, they can go back to making less. He points to Dak Prescott’s record-setting deal and the $10M+ annual tour revenue as proof: this isn’t just about football—it’s about business. Appreciate the model that made these salaries possible, or face the reality of playing for peanuts. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
