Cowboys owner Jerry Jones credits experimental drug after cancer diagnosis
OXNARD, Calif. — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones credited an experimental trial drug for successfully treating advanced melanoma as he disclosed his cancer diagnosis publicly for the first time. Jones revealed his illness in a documentary series, "America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys," which will debut on Netflix next week. The 82-year-old Jones then told The Dallas Morning News how he was initially diagnosed in June 2010 and underwent two surgeries on his lung and two on his lymph nodes over the next 10 years after skin cancer cells metastasized to other parts of his body. "Well, you don't like to think about your mortality, but I was so fortunate to have some great people that sent me in the right direction," Jones said after practice on Wednesday. "I got to be part of a trial that was propitious. It really worked. It's called PD-1 [therapy], and it really, really, really worked." First-year Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer described Jones' fight with cancer as an "amazing story" and praised him for going public. "I'm glad that Jerry shared it, just because I think it gives people hope," Schottenheimer said Wednesday. "It gives people the strength to say ... 'Hey, you can beat this.'" Schottenheimer, 51, used his last news conference of the Cowboys' nearly monthlong stay in Southern California to talk about his own cancer diagnosis. He underwent surgery in 2003 for thyroid cancer at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Then-Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder helped arrange Schottenheimer's treatment two years after firing his father, Marty Schottenheimer, as coach. Brian Schottenheimer was Washington's quarterbacks coach during the 2001 season, the same year Snyder himself was treated for thyroid cancer. "It doesn't discriminate against anybody," Schottenheimer said. "And mine was certainly less serious, but I was 28 when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Nothing like Stage 4, nothing like what Jerry and other people have to go through. But you hear that word 'cancer,' and it scares the hell out of you."

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, 82, reveals he beat stage 4 cancer
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones beat stage 4 cancer after battling the disease for a decade, the 82-year-old billionaire has revealed. Now Jones is crediting an experimental drug for saving his life from stage 4 melanoma. 'I was saved by a fabulous treatment and great doctors and a real miracle [drug] called PD-1 [therapy],' Jones told The Dallas Morning News. 'I went into trials for that PD-1 and it has been one of the great medicines. 'I now have no tumors.' Jones underwent four surgeries over the last decade, include two on his lungs and two lymph node surgeries, the Morning News reports. It's unclear when he started the PD-1 [Programmed Cell Death Protein] experimental trial. A stage 4 melanoma diagnosis indicates skin cancer cells metastasized to other parts of the body. Typically patients with that diagnosis are given a five-year survival rate of 35 percent, according to The American Cancer Society. MORE TO FOLLOW...

Dallas Morning News Sells To NY, Dallas Express Stands As DFW's Lone Locally Owned News Titan
The Dallas Morning News is set to come under out-of-state ownership due to the sale of its parent company, DallasNews Corporation, to the New York-based Hearst Corporation. This all-cash acquisition is valued at $14 per share, representing a 219% premium over the closing price on July 9. The transaction, announced July 10 and unanimously approved by both boards, is expected to close in the third or early fourth quarter of 2025. Once finalized, DallasNews Corporation will be taken private and delisted from Nasdaq. Although The Dallas Morning News characterized the agreement as a 'merger,' the deal is in fact a full purchase by Hearst, which will assume complete ownership of the company and its assets, including The News and its creative marketing agency, Medium Giant. DallasNews Corporation has long been based in Dallas as a publicly traded company. Once finalized, The Dallas Morning News will operate as a private entity under the ownership and direction of New York-based Hearst Corporation. Hearst Corporation, headquartered in Manhattan, owns a portfolio of 28 daily newspapers and 50 weeklies, including the Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News, and San Francisco Chronicle. With this acquisition, Hearst will operate daily newspapers in all four of Texas' largest cities. The move follows a broader trend in Texas media. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, another major regional outlet, is owned by New Jersey-based McClatchy. Following the closure of the deal, The Dallas Express will stand as the only major news outlet in the Dallas–Fort Worth region that remains locally owned and independently operated. While other legacy publications are folded into national chains, The Dallas Express continues to focus on original reporting and local accountability journalism directed by a Dallas-based team. 'This move aligns squarely with our strategy of backing trusted, high-impact local media brands in growth markets,' said Jeff Johnson, president of Hearst Newspapers. DallasNews CEO Grant Moise echoed that sentiment in a memo to staff, noting that both organizations share longstanding editorial values. Medium Giant will be integrated into Hearst's broader services division. The sale follows years of financial headwinds for DallasNews Corp., including declining advertising and print circulation revenues.
