Rick Schwartz and a group of business associates banded together to buy the cowboys.com name.
Here are some of the details. Nice play IMO.

Discussions began and then Eric Rice who has been interested in the domain and associated business for the past 6 months made a post on my private chatboard shortly after noon and began the process of putting a group together in just HOURS to buy this spectacular domain name. By 7:30PM it was ours and the new team of 20 investors had won the prize. The folks involved may or may not identify themselves. I just did with a stake of a little more than 9%.

The talent the domainers have will make Cowboys.com a premiere site on the net. An opportunity thrust into our laps and being the entrepreneurs we are, we jumped on it. The rest is history and it will be written about for years to come. The site comes with the trademark for cowboys.com which has been a western wear site for the last 10 years.

Congrats to this new team of investors. They saw opportunity and seized it. The American dream is alive and well and this will go down as one of the worst decisions in corporate history.
