It's time for another installment of The Givers -- an examination of how high-ranking sports executives donate their money to political candidates and organizations. All these figures are for the 2006 election cycle, courtesy of OpenSecrets.org.

Today we move to the NFC, starting with the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys
Jerry Jones (Owner) -- $5,850 total: $2,100 to Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), $3,750 to defeated Sen. George Allen (R-Virginia)

New York Giants
Steve Tisch (Owner) -- $40,900 total: $26,700 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, $10,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, $4,200 to Sen. Hilary Clinton (D-New York)

Philadelphia Eagles
