I know there are a lot of Cowboy haters out there, but if there was any doubt that the Cowboys are still America’s Team, it was erased with an article in the East Valley Tribune. Apparently, there are just too many Cowboys fans showing up for Arizona games, so the Cardinals have a plan in place to limit the number of Cowboys fans that show up to the game.
In order to keep the Cowboys fans out, Arizona is requiring anyone that wants to buy a ticket to the Cardinals-Cowboys game to also buy... Read Full Story
Like many of you, I didn’t have the best opinion of Terrell Owens when he came to the Dallas Cowboys. And, while he wasn’t as misbehaved in his first year as he had been in previous stops, he still seemed like the old T.O. who was ready to throw a wrench into the wheel at any moment.
At least, until Tony Romo showed up as the starting quarterback. That seems like it was the turning point between ‘bad’ T.O. and ‘good’ T.O. Perhaps he just needed someone to throw him the damn ball?
Now, not... Read Full Story
It’s not bad enough that we had to go through two years of Will Brett Favre Retire? being asked every ten seconds. Now, we have the Will Brett Favre Return discussions. I don’t think we had more than a week of relaxation before Steve Mariucci and the guys at the NFL Network started talking about his return.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Brett Favre. I’ve always disliked the Packers — they rub me the wrong way for some reason — but Favre is one of those athletes that transcend the sport... Read Full Story
I’ve been too busy to stop in for a while, but I wanted to take some time to say that I really like the decisions the Cowboys have been making this off-season. First, in free agency, they focused on re-signing folks like Flozell Adams. And, while I didn’t agree with taking Felix Jones over Rashard Mendenhall, I liked picking up a two cornerbacks and two running backs, including one of each in the first round.
Now, the Cowboys continue making the right move by re-signing Terrell Owens. Wow... Read Full Story
I haven’t written anything on the schedule yet. At the point, analyzing the schedule is really just a bunch of guesswork. It won’t be until week 2 and week 3 of the schedule before we really get an idea of who’s good, who’s not so good, and where the surprises are going to be.
But I was glancing over the schedule again and I couldn’t help but think that our first game is going to be one of the most difficult. Cleveland had a pretty good offense last year, and they are going to be a better... Read Full Story
I try not to comment too much outside of the Cowboys sphere, but I have to say that this Matt Walsh character has really been great for the Patriots organization. First, he pops up with talk about some mysterious tapes and gets everyone in a frenzy about possible new sanctions against New England. Then, the tapes are revealed to be pretty much what the Patriots said they had done. Now, everyone thinks Spygate is done.
Well, maybe not everyone, but there does seem to be a major sentiment... Read Full Story
In under two seasons, Tony Romo has become one of the most popular figures in sports. But what about him do defenses around the league fear the most? His arm? His elusive legs?
The answer might surprise you.
Yes. There you have it. His voice.
Able to knock down opposing linebackers in a single lyric, Tony Romo has found a weapon more powerful than his ability to miss qualifying for the pro golf tour by only a few strokes: His ability to completely butcher songs.

DallasCowboys.com has a writeup about Danny Amendola, a rookie free agent out of Texas Tech who has been opening some eyes at minicamp and is drawing comparisons to Wes Welker. Playing alongside Michael Crabtree, Amendola was forced into the position of second fiddle, but he had a strong career at Texas Tech with 224 catches for 2,246 yards and 15 TDs.
Amendola ran a not-so-fast 4.64 in the forty at the combine, but he definitely looks faster in this YouTube video:
And, remember, Felix... Read Full Story
I might be the only one with this sentiment, but I am not looking forward to the impending announcement that HBO will be filming a new Hard Knocks series this year and that the Cowboys will be in the limelight.
It’s one thing when it is a 5-11 team being filmed, but I would rather limit the distractions as much as possible for a team that has Super Bowl potential. I know, I know, the only way you can get to the Super Bowl is to be able to play despite the many distractions that certainly... Read Full Story
Once again, Dallas leaves a draft with additional picks in the next year’s draft. No extra first rounder this time, but an extra third and an extra fourth isn’t too shabby. Some quality players come out of those rounds. (For example, Marion Barber III.)
Overall, I would say that Dallas had a solid if not sexy draft. Their second day maneuvering was enough to bring them up to around a B- for the entire draft. Not only did the get a few extra picks, but they picked up another running back... Read Full Story
