The Internet. Ain’t it grand? I use it for all kinds of things. Even trivial stuff, like if I see an actor on a TV show and I think I’ve seen them before but can’t remember where or their name, I’ll look it up on IMDB . Or Google Maps , what a wonderful invention. There are hundreds of things you can do on the Internet. And that’s without brining up ...

Last season I had some fun by
calling T.O. a pod-person. It was kind of in
jest but it was kind of serious. When I heard we were signing T.O. a couple of years ago I was very skeptical. I knew he had the talent, I saw what he did in San ...
The Dallas Cowboys are going Hollywood. By now everybody knows we’ll be on HBO’s Hard Knocks this summer. But wait, there’s more. T.O. will make his own Hollywood mark this week.
T.O. will make his sitcom acting debut on the MyNetworkTV show "Under One Roof" as the long-lost brother of the show's star, Flavor Flav. Owens tries convincing Flav and sitcom ...

Mark me down as a guy who spoke too soon. Yesterday I posted that the "Greg Ellis comments on Roy Williams" story was played-out. Au contraire. Seems that partly based on those comments Roy Williams was summoned to the principal’s office. OK, so it wasn’t totally the Ellis comments that got Roy a meeting with coaches Brian Stewart and Brett Maxie. He also missed two ...

Who wouldn’t want to be like Mel Renfro?
He’s a Hall of Famer. He’s in the Ring of Honor. He’s arguably the best defensive back to ever wear the star. He was an All-American running back in college. If there was ever a guy to emulate in this organization, as far as the secondary goes, Renfro is it.
Ray Buck gets this and details Renfro’s excellence in ...

The Dead Zone. We don’t have another OTA until May 20 th . Pacman and his team have gone underground and haven’t uttered a peep. Greg Ellis spiced things up briefly but even that has been played-out. The only thing people are really talking about is the Cowboys star-turn in HBO’s Hard Knocks series. Naturally Steve Sabol and crew are very excited about getting the Cowboys ...

Nick Eatman has a really good article over
at DC.com that covers some wide ranging topics. He
has some interesting views on a few of the recent happenings in the Dallas Cowboys universe. On Pacman Jones and his reinstatement: My take on that ...
Since Roy Williams seems to be getting a lot of negative publicity over the last week or so, I decided to post something positive for the man Cowboys fans love to hate. Roy’s charity foundation goes all out for select groups of mothers on Mother’s Day.
This year Williams is planning something bigger with a spa day, where a group of women will be pampered with ...

Greg Ellis just needs to employ a self-imposed gag order during the offseason. The last couple of years it was all the stuff about his contract and not fitting into the Cowboys 3-4 system. Now, he’s talking about another player not being comfortable in Wade Phillips’ 3-4 system. Here’s what Greg had to say about Roy Williams in an interview today.
"Roy ...

Since there isn’t a whole lot going on in terms of Cowboys news, I decided to give a little update on the new SB Nation 2.0 platform.
Up at the top left-hand corner, there are a few items you might be interested in. There’s a Welcome Guide that lays out in general terms some of the features available on the new platform. There’s also an Edit Settings link which ...

Direct link to a Martellus Bennett interview courtesy of Matt Mosley over at Hashmarks. Bennett is one crazy dude. In the interview, he reveals he thinks he can fly, that he has X-ray vision and the ability to teleport but he likes to keep his superhero powers on the downlow. The Dallas media won’t be able to get enough of this guy. HBO will probably give him some ...

Tell me you didn’t see this coming from a mile away in regards to Bengals WR Chris Henry.
"There are two teams that I would always love to play for: that's New Orleans and Dallas," Henry said. "New Orleans is home for me. That's always been a big dream of mine. Hopefully I can get in there and sit down with the coaches and maybe have an opportunity to get down ...

After the draft when the lists of UDFA’s were coming out, there was a name on there, Andrew Brecher, an offensive lineman from Harvard. Not that he stood out or anything, he was just another guy on a list of guys that I expected to be a body. He wasn’t on the level of UDFA’s like Danny Amendola, Darrell Robertson or even Marcus Dixon who has an unreal backstory. ...

Draft guru Rick Gosselin has a fascinating article on the DMN discussing his critically acclaimed draft formula . He explains the average draft grade this year is the best he’s ever had, meaning teams reached a lot less and got value for the picks they had.
Gosselin also throws out a few good nuggets about the Cowboys. Of the top players at each position that went undrafted this ...

There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Bill Parcells completely rebuilt the Dallas Cowboys during his four year stay as head coach. Only four players remain on the Cowboys from the 2002 roster: Greg Ellis, Andre Gurode, Flozell Adams and Roy Williams. Parcells was able to revamp the team and while there were certainly a few mistakes made, a lot of the work was done through ...

ProFootballTalk.com took a look at the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft and it wasn’t pretty. Antrel Rolle. Carlos Rogers. Mike Williams. Travis Johnson. Whew. That’s a traveling circus of busts. Until they got to this name: DeMarcus Ware.
A 2006 Pro Bowl + a 2007 Pro Bowl = not a bust.
Damn skippy.
Apparently there’s a rumor floating around that Roy Williams, ...

It’s not often that you have an offense that roars through a regular season setting club records and yet is still questioned in terms of personnel. That is the Dallas Cowboys fate this offseason. One part of the equation was obvious and the Cowboys obviously fixed it. Dallas dispatched their third string running back, Tyson Thompson, early in the offseason while ...

Ugh! I hate this idea, nothing but a distraction and brings back memories of Dave Campo in a wetsuit with Shamu.
According to this article , we're back in as the featured team on HBO's "Hard Knocks" this year.
CBS 11 Sports has learned that the Dallas Cowboys training camp will once again be featured as part of the NFL films series "Hard Knocks."

Backup QB Richard Bartel gets some digital ink . Turns out the KC Chiefs wanted to put him on their active roster at the end of last season but Bartel decided to stay put.
"It was nice to know you're wanted," said Bartel, a Grapevine High School graduate. "You want to compete, and they were offering that, but what made the decision easy was the organization kind of affirming me and ...

This morning I ran across this article in the Star-T that talks about new Dallas Cowboys rookie Tashard Choice. As I was reading it, I thought this all sounds so familiar. Then it dawned on me that it is familiar to me but not to most of you guys. You haven’t spent the last couple of years following Tashard Choice the way I have and all the off the field stories about the quality ...
