FOOTBALL
DALLAS ? The Dallas Cowboys
filed a $750 million antitrust lawsuit
against the NFL, accusing the league
of blocking teams from conducting
their own marketing business.
The suit, filed in federal court in
New York, cites the Sherman Antitrust
Act and names the league, NFL Properties
and the NFL Trust. The Cowboys
seek $200 million in actual damages,
which would be tripled under
federal antitrust laws, and $150 million
in punitive damages.
Team owner Jerry Jones has said
he wanted to mediate the rift with the
NFL out of court, but the league's $300
million lawsuit against the team left
him no recourse. That suit challenges
Jones' sponsorship agreements between
Texas Stadium and Nike, Dr
Pepper and others.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. ? Marv
Levy returned to the Buffalo Bills the
