Game On
Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall in the Washington Post:
“We’ll dominate our division, off of bringing Donovan McNabb in here, a guy who’s dominated the division in the past. So that’s just an educated guess. That’s an educated guess, and I stand behind. I’ll stand behind that. I’ll fight and claw to try to make that happen.”

Daft Moves
A few random thoughts on the NFL Draft:
• Dez Bryant is not Randy Moss, on the field or off. Is he the next great Cowboys receiver to wear No. 88? Who knows. But it looks like a high value pick where they took him.
• Broncos take Tebow in round one? Hmmm. So they’ve got Orton, Quinn and Tebow. Between them, that adds up to about three-fourths of an actual NFL QB (all...

Tru Dat & Who Cares?
Hearty congrats to the Saints, New Orleans and O Danny Boy (Terry Porter!!!) on the Super victory. And now that the NFL season is over, it’s truly the best day all year: The Cowboys are UNDEFEATED, BAYBEE!!!
On another note, The Who were a train wreck, as expected. The tyranny of the Baby Boomers continues as [...]

Football Sends Fan Over Edge
The Tennessean
January 25, 2010
A Bellevue man was arrested early Monday morning while running along Morton Mill Road wearing nothing but gold lame briefs and a New Orleans Saints helmet.
Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron says the man smelled strongly of jambalaya. “Our officers found him screaming incoherently and making a general nuisance of himself,” Aaron [...]

Norse Code
Game on. Cowboys at Vikings Sunday, and this may be the pivotal game. We’ve seen in years’ past how a team with two weeks of rest and preparation can steamroll one coming off a Wildcard round win.
We’ve also seen bye-week teams fall flat.
Minnesota is undefeated at home. Dallas has beaten three playoff teams in the [...]

Deuce Is Wild
Run & Done: Felix Jones slams the door on the Iggles as Dallas grabs the NFC East championship.
Yes, those are feathers on my plate. Not Eagle feathers, mind you. They’re crow.
I must admit to predicting a 7-9 record for this team and, as late as a few weeks ago, posting that they were “slightly above [...]

Face On
So many positive things are being said about the Cowboys after their shutout of the Deadskins Sunday night. And to that I have one thing to add:
Stifle.
It’s Eagles Week. Get your game face on. The ‘Boys may consider the Jints their biggest rivals, but for this fan, the Philadelphia Eagles and Andy “Onside Kick” Reid [...]

Life Supported
A few quick thoughts:
Bravo, Wade, Jason, Demarcus, Anthony, Mike, Tony, Miles and a few others.
Good if shaky win. But it means nothing if we lose next week.
If Roy isn’t benched it will only be a confirmation that Jerry’s ego runs this team.
You had your chances, Mr. Folk. Have a nice [...]

The Game Tells You What You Are
Another Parcells-ism is certainly appropriate after Sunday’s game. The Cowboys ran up against another desperate team, and again came up short.
Don’t blame December. Don’t blame coaches or play calling. The players for the Cowboys lost to the players from the Giants. And that’s okay.
The Cowboys are what they are. They’re a slightly above average team. [...]

Giant Epic Fail
The Jints big loss to the Broncos gives Dallas a firm two-game lead in the division after Thursday’s beatdown of the Raiders.
This sets up the Boys-Jints game as a chance for Dallas to put an end to NY’s season. Or, it puts the Giants’ backs against the wall, making them a desperate team. Remember the [...]

Deadskins, Indeed
There’s only one offensive group in the NFL that has rights to feel worse than the Dallas Cowboys O. And that’s the Deadskins.
Worst display of offensive football in one game I can recall.
Make no mistake, Wade Phillips and his defense deserve all the credit for this win. Boys don’t win this game without Phillips on [...]

House Calls
Screen Gems: Cowboys Stadium offers an entirely new football experience.
Our trip to Arlington for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons was as perfect a football experience as can be had. Anywhere. Period. Yes, the game was the ‘Boys first complete, three-phase victory of the year, but we’ll get to football in a moment. First, some [...]

Balancing Act
Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
What you have to do is not make too much or too little of the situation. Case in point, the best gridiron story of the day, as the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Baltimore Ravens.
Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, long with the Cowboys, coached his group despite the fact that his wife [...]

The Ego Has Landed
As we approached Cowboys Stadium, my friend said, “It looks like the mothership has landed.”
My response: “It has. And if it starts taking off, I’m going with it.”
The easy and oft-taken approach in mainstream media is to crown this palace “Jerry’s World” and cackle about the monstrous ego of the Cowboys owner. But let’s get [...]

Kick The Tires, Light The Fires
Here we go. Full day of sports Sunday as I take in the Rangers v. Angels followed by a Jack Ingram concert on the North Lawn. Then it’s off to the new stadium for Cowboys and Jints.
I’ll be posting regularly throughout the weekend in the comments section of this post if anyone cares to stay [...]

Long & Short Of It
Quick reaction to Sunday’s 34-21 victory over Tampa:
Special Teams
• The touchback is back in the Cowboys repertoire. This is perhaps the best news of the game, aside from the win and relative lack of injuries.
• Blocked punt! What a way for Big D to start … we may be on our way to having a [...]

Let’s Get This Party Started, Right?
Hope floats this time of year. And I am hopeful. I am hopeful about Felix Jones and Martellus Bennett. I am hopeful about the maturing Tony Romo and revamped young secondary. I’m even hopeful about SonOfBum and would be so pleased to see him pop one through and hoist a Lombardi. I’m being totally serious.
The [...]

It’s Business Time
Enjoy this camp report from HTTD correspondent Kevin:
Camp was all business.
· Jerry was there but I did not spot him on the sidelines. Dalrymple only came out to make sure the cameras did not get a good look of Jenkins’ ankle.
· Rowdy [...]

Snitch In Time Saves 9…And 82
So Brad Johnson was the press “snitch” in the Cowboys locker room last season, not Jason Witten.

Criticize the Dallas draft all you want. Really. (Me, I still think the Roy Williams trade was a complete mistake.) But try to know what you’re talking about, please.
Here, in a nutshell, is exactly what’s wrong with the draft hype and overblown media coverage, courtesy of SI’s Peter King:
