“TWO MINUTES TO TOUCHDOWN, MR.JONES,”
says a helicopter pilot nearing a drilling rig in Jewett during the opening scenes of America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, a new Netflix docuseries about Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. With him is Comstock Resources CEO Jay Allison. Viewers likely don’t know that the East Texas town is surrounded by what could be the last great natural gas play in the U.S. Jones sums up
the risks. “Oil and gas is notoriously risky be- cause it’s miles and miles deep,” he says in the scene. “Only God knows what’s down there.”

Post-event accolades

A long-time benefactor said to the entire team from events to magazine pages:

Congratulations!  This year’s Energy Awards were the best ever.  I heard rave reviews from everyone.  The event may be close to becoming an institution in North Texas. 

Also noted: "Genuine excitement was created." The town showed up as did out-of-towners, from Laredo, Texas!

Nominees and the event projected the depth of the energy industry in North Texas. Also noted was ‘we succeeded in communicating to the public at large that capital and deals flow through North Texas, consistent with our status as an emerging financial capital of the U.S.’
