He's in! Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame

HOUSTON -- For Jerry Jones, a remarkable journey that now heads to Canton and the Hall of Fame had its inconspicuous beginning on a bus ride from Fayetteville to Little Rock.

The Arkansas football team was making the trip for a game. Jones was an offensive lineman with the Razorbacks in the early 1960s and would sit next to his good friend, running back Jim Lindsey.

Jones came across a story about Art Modell, his beautiful wife and two sons. He was fascinated by the man who gave up a career as an advertising executive to purchase the Cleveland Browns of the NFL.
