How Jerry Jones' fierce loyalty has made many Cowboys see him as more of father figure than boss

Jerry Jones arrived at The Star last month in his multimillion-dollar helicopter during the final week of offseason practices.

It was the look that accompanies a billionaire who owns the world's most valuable sports franchise.

However, Jones isn't your typical billionaire. He rubs elbows with just about anyone and always finds a way to relate.

Within the first few minutes after he landed, Jones made the day of a Make-A-Wish kid, talking to him and his parents, offering hugs and handshakes and posing for pictures. Jones then stopped to joke with the media and share a laugh with former Cowboys scouting director Larry Lacewell, who was in Frisco to watch practice while still recovering from a severe stroke he suffered in September.
