The Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys have lost their battle, which was essentially a one-and-out in a hearing that took place May 10th.

It might sound weird now, but if the Giants had lost week 17 to the Cowboys, which could have happened if Miles Austin hadn’t lost a touchdown in the sun, Tom Coughlin might have been fired rather than hoisting a 2nd round trophy. There was some talk about letting Coughlin go and if they had missed the playoffs after a 6-2 start and the public’s cry for a new coach might have...

More and more, the mailbag seems to tackle how to navigate Facebook interactions with the opposite sex. It’s kind of a bummer.

It still isn’t easy, but here are my top five players on the Cowboys’ offense...

There wasn’t much of an offseason in the NFL last season due to the lockout. The lockout affected some players but not all as there wasn’t too much of a dropoff in play. Dallas Cowboys receiver Miles Austin was one of the players the lockout hurt. After coming out of nowhere and piling up back to back 1,000 yard seasons, Austin experienced a decline in production because...

The 2011 NFL season was a mostly forgetful one for Dallas Cowboys receiver Miles Austin. After two stellar games to start the season, Austin missed Weeks 3-5 with his first hamstring injury of the season.
