A day after the Green Bay Packers handed the Dallas Cowboys a 45-7 loss, things continued to get worse for the Cowboys when their main domain name used for their website expired on November 2, 2010! The domain name was renewed on or around November 3-8, 2010 but that didn’t prevent the website from being taken down due to automatic domain name servers being changed when the expired domain by not being renewed in time.
On a day the team fired its head coach Wade Phillips, it has gotten pretty ugly.
Many people visiting DallasCowboys.com today see a Network Solutions (domain name registrar) landing page like this:
Instead of what the teams website was before:
The domain name has now been renewed until 2020 but it will take at least a little while (up to 48 hours) for it to resolve back to the normal website.
Maybe Jerry Jones list of people to fire will also include an IT department person? Not likely, since the email address on file for the domain DallasCowboys.com is Jerry Jones Jr. Jerry Jr is the chief sales and marketing officer for the Dallas Cowboys.
This is not the first time the team has had problems with a "domain name". They intended to purchase the domain name Cowboys.com for $275K in 2007 but the person bidding on behalf of the team thought the purchase price was $275! A group of domain name investors purchased the domain name Cowboys.com for an undisclosed amount in the public domain name auction, instead of the football team. Just last week, the domain name Cowboys.com was listed for sale at Sedo.com and it is currently still for sale!
MLB recently purchased Angels.com for $200,000 at Sedo in August 2010.
The good news for the Cowboys? DallasCowboyCheerleaders.com did not expire and is still live! 
Hat Tip to Adam Dicker who mentioned the expired domain on Facebook

It’s just as well. The site was becoming a festival of incessant rant by hate filled Cowboys fans. It’s best to just put it out of it’s misery (like Wade Phillips).
