POCKET PROTECTION? COWBOYS LACK OF OFFENSE COSTS FANS MONEY?

          The Cowboys' "meager offensive output" in the last two
     games is costing fans money, according to Richard Alm of the
     DALLAS MORNING NEWS, who writes that team sponsor Bank One
     "launched a new promotion this month that ties interest
     rates" on CDs to the points the Cowboys score in their
     latest game.  In the deal, the bank "will up" its CD rates
     by a hundredth of a percentage point for each point the team
     scores.  Bank One Marketing Manager Laurie Robichaux: "If
     they have a great game and score a lot, it's a great benefit
     to the customer. If they don't, it's still a fun promotion." 
     Though the Cowboys scored 41 and 35 points, respectively, in
     their first two games, they have scored only ten points in
     each of their last two games.  As a result, "the promotion
     isn't providing much of a kick."  As of Monday, the regular
     rate of one-year CDs, with a minimum deposit of $5,000, was
     4.95%, "upped" to 5.05% after the team's 13-10 Monday night
     loss to the Giants (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 10/20).
