Robert Tisch, the former postmaster general who failed in attempts to buy the New England and Tampa Bay franchises, may try this week to buy the Dallas Cowboys, according to Sports inc. magazine.

According to the magazine, Tisch, a New York billionaire, has held serious discussions concerning the Cowboys, whose owner is said to be asking more than $100 million for the franchise.

Tex Schramm, the Cowboys’ president and general manager, has an 8% interest in the Cowboys. He has retained the New York investment banking firm of Salomon Brothers Inc., to find investors willing to meet the purchase price set by owner H.R. (Bum) Bright.

Bright bought the Cowboys in 1984 from Clint Murchison Jr. for $60 million. Bright also paid $25 million for the Texas Stadium Corp. Sports inc. reported that Bright is seeking $100 million for the team and $60 for the stadium corporation.
