They intentionally try to avoid dead money. And they don’t like paying guys who are not playing. If that’s how they want to run their business I have no problem with it.

Their cap spend is up there. You can’t really call them cheap. They are not followers.

Just because my neighbor Jerry Jones went and bought a brand new 100k car at a 7% interest rate and traded in his old car he still owed a bunch of money on and is now paying 1,500 a month for the next 8 years doesn’t make me cheap because I was able to pay cash after trading in my fully paid off old car.

Sadly we live in a world full of people who live off credit cards at 20% interest and never learned the concept of only spend what you can afford to pay at the end of the month. These same people have no clue how to manage money, but want to chastise our FO who understands it very well. If they were smart, they would learn and follow their lead in their personal lives.

Great post
