If you were looking for the team take on the Dallas Cowboys after their Sunday 16-10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you may have gone to Cowboys.com to do so. And if you did so, you would have been rather surprised to see what website popped up.Yeah, we're thinking that this isn't what Jerry Jones had in mind. The debacle actually started in 2007, when the Cowboys organization had a winning bid of $275,000 on the Cowboys.com domain name but didn't pay up due to an internal miscommunication. FromDomainNameNews.com, back then:[INDENT]
The domain name brought in a $275,000 bid from a phone-in bidder at the recent TRAFFIC domain live auction in Hollywood, Florida. The bidder had beenearlieridentified to be a representative from the Dallas Cowboys NFL team. An inside source confirmed with DomainNameNews that the deal began to fall apart over a misunderstanding with the bidder on what the bid of "275″ actually meant. It appears the bidder thought they were buying the domain for $275.00 rather than $275,000.

The site sat for several years, but now, the owners of the domain have set things up.
