There was a very real possibility of someone else grabbing the domain name, but the Cowboys got lucky and no one proved to be quick enough.

Imagine how great it would have been if someone grabbed the name and put up a mock site.

That’s not how it works. How dumb would it be if that’s how it worked?

After registration expires, there’s a window of at least 30 days within which you can renew. If your website is important enough, you’ll surely notice within that 30 day window.

Incompetence from top to bottom. Kudos to running such a tight ship, Jerruh.
