Worrisome Cowboy: Will Tony Romo and Roy Williams Mesh in Dallas?
That is one
of the big questions heading into Cowboys training camp. According to
multiple sources around the Cowboys facility, there are worries that
Williams and Romo may get off to a rough start.
During OTAs in the
offseason, the pair didn't click well enough to give coaches and fans
much hope of duplicating the success that Tony had with former Cowboys
receiver Terrell...

Dallas Cowboys Training Camp Preview: Part I
NFL
fans across the nation are gearing up for what has become a summer
tradition for many. NFL training camps are just two weeks away from
starting on college campuses and practice fields in a neighborhood near
you.
While I, like many,
can hardly contain myself with excitement that we are approaching a new
NFL season, many NFL clubs have questions that still remain unanswered....

A Call for Help: Greg Ellis Wants out of Oakland
In a
stunning interview with former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin,
ex-Cowboy Greg Ellis stated that hybrid defensive end DeMarcus Ware
would attempt to remove himself from ballgames just to get Ellis onto
the field.
Ellis was released by the Cowboys earlier this
season and subsequently picked up by the Raiders. Ellis still seems a
little bitter over his disposal from "America...

Marion the Barbarian: A Warrior in the Fourth Quarter
The NFL has always been a league defined by toughness.
To name a few,
there's Jack Youngblood playing in the 1980 NFC Championship Game and
Super Bowl XIV with a broken leg, Emmitt Smith rushing for 168 yards
against the Giants with a separated shoulder, and Ronnie lot electing
to cut his pinky finger off after it failed to heal properly.
Before his career is
over, Marion...

Daunting Winter: Cowboys Need To Show and Prove in December
Dating back more than 10 years ago, the Cowboys
were the toast of the NFL. Three championships in four seasons and
surefire Hall of Famers on both sides of the ball led the team to glory.
That was before the concussions, drugs, neck injuries, diamonds, and trash, and well, you get the picture.
The Cowboys have not posted a winning record in
the months of December and January since...

Pacman Jones on His Way Back to Dallas?
In
a report by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and featured on
ESPN.com, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is entertaining the idea of bring
back embattled cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones.
According
to Jerry, "Pacman" graded as the best cornerback for the 'Boys last
season. Granted Terrance Newman was injured for most of the season, the
Cowboys had a liability at safety...

Terrell Owens stunted Romo's growth
It was done in a matter of minutes but the choice Jerry Jones made could pay huge dividends for Romo's career. The loss of Owens might seem like a negative or appear to be a regression for Romo but for the first time in his career he will not have to worry about stroking another player's ego. Terrell Owens demanded the ball (I'm sure we can all agree on that) and clearly...

It Didn't Have To End Like This
What a difference 30 minutes makes.
Had I started writing this just a half-hour before now, you would be reading about some combination of Jerry's gag-order on his coaching staff, the curious trade for Jon Kitna, and the great relief that accompanied the announcement of Ray Lewis' new three-year, $20-25 million deal with the Ravens.
(If I understand correctly...

This Game Will At Least Be Better Than The Hype
All too often, most events fail horribly at matching the hype generated during the time leading up to them. In fact, if something has an extremely high amount of hype, it probably will stink (see: The Village).
Thus, given today's seemingly lackluster Pittsburgh v. Arizona matchup, you would expect the NFL--a league highly image-conscious--to have spent considerable more...

Cowboys Have Lots to Learn from Final Four
Well, thanks to Anthony Spencer, the Cowboys now have more arrests in the last week than playoff victories in the last 13 years. As usual, the NFL postseason continues this week, and the team from Dallas has no game for which to prepare.
However, Jerry, Wade, and the rest of the gang would do well to watch and study both of the conference championship games this week because...

In Jerry We No Longer Trust
Jerry Jones is a polarizing figure. Similar to George W. Bush, Terrell Owens, and the New York Yankees, when you mention his name, you'll get a strong reaction--positive or negative--from anyone within earshot. For many fans of the Cowboys, Jones is the only owner they've ever known.
And in Dallas, where the other pro owners are Mark Cuban and Tom Hicks, it's...

Cowboys Won't Contend for Some Time
In spite of all that has been written in this space before--about the Cowboys' poor team chemistry, about their lack of heart, and about the ineptitude of the coaching staff--the sheer awfulness of that game Sunday was staggering.
With all that has happened over the previous four months, Dallas still, somehow, found itself only 60 minutes away from a playoff berth...

It's Time for T.O. to G.O.
Enough already. This has gotten beyond ridiculous. Even more so than during those awful Chan Gailey years, the Dallas Cowboys have to be considered the biggest joke in the National Football League. Even the Detroit Lions have to be thanking all things holy that they don't have to deal with the poppycock that has become Terrell Owens and the rest of America's Team....

Romo, Defense Learn Difference Between "Great" and "Elite"
All that, and it didn't even snow. What a truly wasted afternoon. As if the Cowboys' loss to Pittsburgh wasn't already bad enough, it also clinched the NFC East for the New York Giants for the first time since 2005.
As expected, this was not a fun game to watch. Although there were some strong defensive efforts, the contest also featured plenty of awful plays...

Dallas Fans: Steel Yourself for a Rough Game
While this writer, like most fans of the Cowboys, can't stop laughing over the Plaxico Saga up in New York, it can only be a small distraction from what should be a long, rough game on Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Although football games in the snow are visually exciting, the tough weather conditions generally result in old-school (read: boring) styles of play, with each time running...

Cowboys Must Shake Ghosts of Decembers Past
The man who wrote Peter Pan, James Matthew Barrie, once said, "God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December." With the Thanksgiving thrashing of Seattle, the Cowboys now sit alone in second place in the NFC East with an 8-4 record.
After being written off by many, including this writer, it now seems Dallas still has very legitimate postseason hopes...

It's Been One of Those Weeks for Dallas
Sunday: Romo Returns; Cowboys Win; Season Saved.
Monday: Off; season remains saved.
Tuesday: Tony Romo takes homeless man to movies.
Wednesday: Adam Jones reinstated to team.
Thursday: Felix Jones out for year with toe injury.
Sadly, such a week is the norm in Dallas now. Which of these events doesn't belong? The answer is D--Pacman reinstated. Adam...
