Cue up the stories about the Pro Football HOF selection process
I’m sure this is one of many articles out there criticizing the process for selecting candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Frankly, I understand some of the disappointment as good candidates like Charles Haley need to wait several years before getting in, but it makes a lot of sense to me when mediocre candidates like Art Modell are kept out. Chris Carter complained loudly...
Will Larry Allen and Charles Haley get the call?
You are going to hear quite a few media types using cliches today - as they are wont to do - and one will be along of lines of saying, "now that all the hype is behind us, all we have left is the football game."
And they would be forgetting one very important item that must be covered in this space. At least, one of my favorite portions of Super Bowl week every year and...

Charles Haley is still a regular at Valley Ranch. During the season the former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro defensive end can occasionally be found on the practice field, assisting a current defensive lineman on a pass-rushing move.
When Haley was terrifying opposing quarterbacks in Dallas the team was running a 4-3 defensive scheme. With Monte Kiffin taking over the defense next season...

49ers’ great Charles Haley gave Aldon Smith some tips
Before last week’s NFL Championship game, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith met with 49ers’ great Charles Haley, who ended up giving him some tips.
“He gave me tips in our first five seconds of talking,” Smith told CSNBayArea.com on Wednesday. “It was legit. He said, ‘You need to turn your foot like this and start rushing like that.’ And I was like, ‘All...

Mr. Morant is a person of the highest character. As a graduate of James...
Dallas Cowboys Glory Holes: A Retrospective
America’s Team has lost its way in the last decade-plus. Most people recognize that, but it still means a lot for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to say that he pines for the return of the rich Cowboys traditions of the past. Part of that was when the Cowboys were winning playoff games and even Super Bowls. That’s not all of it, though. There’s more to the Cowboys mystique than...
How ’bout them crazy Cowboys? The top ten most colorful characters in Dallas Cowboys history | #8 Charles Haley
The wing-ding & his ringsThe one-and-only, inimitable, troubled-but-insanely-talented Charles Haley was a member of the Dallas Cowboys for five seasons, 1992–'96. Haley was a five-time Pro Bowler and was named All-Pro twice. He was also the first player in NFL history to win five Super Bowl rings.

Seems Like A Thing Charles Haley Would Do…
RGIII was on “The Tonight Show” on Thursday night. You might have been unaware unless you’re within gushing range of the D.C. media or you’re one of those people who makes it a habit to watch Leno, in which case: gross.
As you might expect, Griffin discussed socks, at point offering them to House, with the suggestion he could cut one up to make a tie. At the end, RGIII...
Projecting Mario Williams' Success Based on History
Mario Williams was made the NFL's first $100 million defender by the Buffalo Bills.
He's the biggest offseason free agent acquisition in team history and made the most stunning free agency decision since Reggie White gave the Green Bay Packers a shot.
That got me thinking. How have other major pass-rushing signings ultimately fared on their new teams?
Let's take...

Thoughts on NFL’s new Hall of Fame class
INDIANAPOLIS _ I’m tired of all this crying for Cris Carter.
There were three other players who didn’t make it into the Hall of Fame on Saturday and were way more deserving than Carter: Charles Haley, Dick Stanfel and Will Shields. Haley was a dominant defensive player with the 49ers and Cowboys and is the only player who has 5 Super Bowl rings. He also has 100 sacks. SLAM DUNK...
