Phillips said backup RB Felix Jones (left knee), WR Roy Williams (three injured ribs) and safety Gerald Sensabaugh (broken right thumb) did not practice.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:07:24 -0500

Cowboys center Andre Gurode was back at practice Thursday afternoon at Valley Ranch. Gurode missed practice Wednesday with a sprained right knee. Gurode feels like he'll be able to play Sunday at Kansas City. Cowboys No. 1 wide receiver Roy Williams was in uniform at practice, but he didn't have pads or his helmet with him, so it looks as if he won't practice again today. We'll know more later when Wade Phillips talks to the media this afternoon. Starting safety Gerald Sensa...

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:37:03 -0500

Cowboys center Andre Gurode is sitting out practice today with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. If Gurode can't go in Kansas City, the Cowboys would turn to either Cory Procter or Duke Preston. Can't you just see Dallas suffering a turnover at Arrowhead Stadium via a center-quarterback exchange fumble? WR Roy Williams (ribs), S Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb) and RB Felix Jones (knee) are also not practicing.

Costly penalties for the Cowboys

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:30:14 -0500

If you read the Officials report blog we had last week, you would have seen this crew had two tripping penalties in the New Orleans-Buffalo game it worked. So it was not a surprise to see Andre Gurode called for a trip. That put the Cowboys in a second-and-20 situation on the previous drive that ultimately led to a Tony Romo fumble. A delay of game penalty put the Cowboys in a third-and-10. Tashard Choice picked up the first down but it was called back because of the flag. The Cowboys canno...

Andre Gurode: It's not Tony's fault

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:57:29 -0500

Andre Gurode sat at his locker Monday, answering questions about what went right and wrong in Sunday's loss to New York, and he also defended his quarterback, Tony Romo. After the game, Romo heaped the blame on himself with three interceptions that led to 21 Giants' points. It was what a quarterback does and Romo was accepting responsibility, but Gurode did not want Romo to take the full burden. "That's completely wrong," Gurode said, "and I'm going to address...

Jason Garrett Needs To Be The Cowboys MVP

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:29:38 -0500

Here we are, three weeks before the draft and unless we make a blockbuster trade to move up or sign Holt or Harrison our offense right now is probably the offense that will start the 2009 season. Now that we cut loose our most explosive offensive weapon (which I still believe is a huge mistake) we need to focus on what we need to get that sixth title. Jason Garrett in my opinion needs to be the MVP of this team in order for the Cowboys to compete. MVP meaning... the most valuable play-caller....

McNabb Wins MVP!

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 12:20:42 -0500

I'm so proud of my mom. She just won an MVP award! Recently Eddie George came up with the NFL Moms Weight Loss Challenge. They competed as teams to see who could lose the most weight. Well, my mom's team won and she was the MVP, having lost 40 pounds during the course of the 2007 NFL season. Congratulations Mom and all the other moms as well. Here's a look at the press release? Nashville, TN ? Feb. 1, 2008: Eddie George, former all-pro running back and current media personality, recently wore a t-shirt on national television that read "I Love Hot Moms!" He surely does, and proved it by guiding 26 members of the NFL's Professional Football Mothers Association to over 200 pounds of weight loss and great lifestyle changes. The mother's will speak of their successes on his radio show on Monday. In September of 2007, Eddie's company, EGX Lifestyle, challenged the moms to change the way they ate, cooked, and exercised. The moms were divided into teams representing the AFC and the NFC. Eddie then devised a 16-week program for them and personally worked them out and monitored them with the help of his staff of professionals. The Results? The NFC won the conference battle, judged by how much weight and/or percentage of body fat lost. However, both teams of ladies are now carrying the proud mantle of "Hot Moms," because they've been changed forever. Constance Davis, mother of Anthony Adams (Chicago Bears), lost 51 pounds; Wilma McNabb, mother of Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb, won the MVP award for her hard work, dedication, and lost of 40 pounds; Mary Gurode, mother of Andre Gurode (Dallas Cowboys), got high-school skinny. The most touching story came from Gladys Bettis, mother of retired NFL star Jerome Bettis. Through the EGX Lifestyle program, she lost over 30 pounds, and in the process, discovered a heart problem that was previously undetected. She ended up having quintuple bypass surgery, a life-saving procedure that may not have been found had she not undertaken Eddie's program with vigor.
