The word from Sports Business Journal, without comment from Your Dallas Cowboys, is that Jerry Jones is looking to borrow $350 million -- and, like, pronto too. Seems he's attempting to refinance by December 1 a previous loan on Jerryworld, "as well as add new debt to cover cost overruns at the team’s $1.2 billion stadium that is set to open next year," reports the publication, where a source says the deal-or-no-deal will serve as a sports-biz "bellwether." And to get potential lenders hot and bothered, Jerry reportedly had a meet-and-greet out at the stadium in late October. Dunno how Jerry won't get the loan, though; he is good for it, right? --Robert Wilonsky
