My inclination each season is to imagine the Dallas Cowboys, getting past unnecessary futility that has suffocated high expectations in the past. But in a juncture, when it seems Tony Romo isn’t beleaguered with paparazzi snapping endless snapshots of him and ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson vacationing at a pool party a week before a pivotal playoff game, he might have a better possibility...

For about seven minutes in the fourth quarter, it looked questionable whether Jason Garrett would ever serve as an offensive coordinator again, let alone as a head coach. With the Cowboys leading 10-7 early in the fourth quarter and having moved the ball from the Dallas 26 to the Carolina 1, Dallas faced a second-and-goal. Carolina could not stop the run, but Garrett decided to call...

After two weeks, the Cowboys lead the NFL in rushing yards as well as yards per attempt and rushing touchdowns.Then there are the other stats. Dallas ranks 30th or below in several offensive and defensive categories, including total yards allowed. Since NFL/AFL merger in 1970, the Cowboys have never finished lower than 20th in total yards allowed (the team finished 20th several times...

When the Bucs look back at this one against the mighty Dallas Cowboys, they'll focus on four plays. Take away those four plays and the Bucs hold Tony Romo to 121 yds and six points. Unfortunately for a young team in a battle with allegedly one of the NFL's best teams, defenses lapses are going to happen. It was up to Romo to take advantage of those mistakes and he most certainly...

Do they not realize the importance of making decisions early to effectively prepare the hundreds of thousands of fantasy owners draped across their keyboards, memorizing the free agent pool? This is not a game people. This is in-the-trenches fantasy reality we're talking...

Creating a mock draft before the college season starts is very difficult. My mock is a mix between what I think could happen and what I think should happen. I am 99 percent sure I will get every single pick wrong one way or another. The reason I created this is to give the viewers an idea of where I feel NFL teams will be picking next year and name some guys football fans should...

This post is part of the 50 Seasons in 50 Weeks Series.The Cowboys returned from the player strike of 1982 on November 21. The remainder of the season was odd to say the least, given that teams were rusty from the two-month hiatus. With so many games canceled, the league came up with a modified playoff format under which eight teams from each conference made the playoffs. The Cowboys...

This post is part of the 50 Seasons in 50 Weeks Series.The Cowboys in 1964 lost their season opener to the St. Louis Cardinals. That was the last time that Dallas fans had to endure an opening-game loss for the next 17 seasons. The Cowboys' opening-game streak remains one of the most impressive feats of a professional sports team.Here is a look:Week 1, 1964: St. Louis 16, Dallas...

On Sirius radio, Emmitt Smith became the second Cowboy to challenge Tony Romo's toughness, when he told listeners that he thought Romo and Wade Phillips were too soft. The Dallas Cowboys haven't really been "America's Team" the past few years. Their uniforms are still shiny with the pretty star and Tony Romo is still getting hot girlfriends but lets be honest...

Sports fans are complicated. First off, they can be huge liars. For example, Yankees fans despise Red Sox stars like Josh Beckett, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Jonathan Papelbon, but, unless they're lying, they'll admit they'd take each and every one of those players and welcome them to the Bronx with open arms. Why? Because they're fantastic...
