Found January 08, 2013 on Fox Sports Southwest:
PLAYERS: Dez Bryant
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys,  Cincinnati Bengals
Dallas-cowboys-new-york
Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant will undergo surgery Tuesday on his broken left index finger, the receiver announced on Twitter Monday. "Having surgery on my finger tomorrow I can't wait until its over," Bryant posted on his account, @DezBryant. Bryant fractured the finger on December 9th against the Cincinnati Bengals, but played through the injury for the rest of the season to help with the Cowboys' playoff chances. Bryant had a breakout season for the Cowboys, finishing his third year with 92 receptions for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns. Even more impressive, Bryant played the final three weeks of the season with the broken finger, including a nine-catch, 224-yard performance against New Orleans in Week 16. Of course, the biggest setback from finger surgery ... the lack of video game time you'll have in the offseason. "Well I'm about to play black ops 2 for the last time in a long time lol," Bryant tweeted.

Well, see ya later Why did Jerry Jones fire Rob Ryan? After the season was over, Jones famously said that things were going to be uncomfortable around Valley Ranch. He promised, in so many words, significant change. But why Rob Ryan? Sure, the defense was porous and played poorly. But Ryan had to assemble a team that excluded as many as seven of his starters.

Jerry Jones makes first big move after vow

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  January 08, 2013
Apparently when Jerry Jones vowed last week to make things uncomfortable at Valley Ranch, he wasn't kidding. Running backs coach Skip Peete was the first man overboard Monday, but the Cowboys followed that by firing defensive coordinator Rob Ryan on Tuesday. With his next firing, Jones could aim even higher. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that head coach Jason Garrett...

Rob Ryan Dismissed, who replaces him?

Via CowboysBlog.Net  |  January 08, 2013
The Cowboys fired another assistant coach, and this time its defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. This is a move that I wanted to see happen, and one that needed to happen. Fact is, Ryan talked too much and couldn’t back it up, nor did he he ever elevate the defense to a top flight defense. Its funny to hear that his defense was exotic and aggressive – it was not. How many times did...
