Zach Thomas Would Kill on NFL Jeopardy
FanHouse —
Filed under: Cowboys, Ravens, NFL Fans I just figured ESPN.com's Mike Sando got a few head coaches on the horn, asked them some questions about why Rodney Harrison is such a dirty player, and then wrote up a nifty column about the findings. Turns out, the entire Hashmarks crew got in on the action, which is why I'm happy to announce that soulja boy aficionado Zach Thomas has been named the NFL's brainiest player! Unfortunately, there won't be any trips to the Playboy Mansion for the winner; instead, Thomas will be rocking a set of new encyclopedias. Nerd. The smartest defensive ...

Which New Player Will Have The Biggest Impact This Season?
The Hole In The Roof Fan Report —
Of all the new additions to the Cowboys, two high caliber players came via trade or through free agency. Those were Zach Thomas and Adam Jones. The rest were rookies and some lesser known players from other teams. My question to everyone is, who will have the biggest impact on offense and defense this season? For offense, my pick would be Felix Jones. He might not be the "starter", but I believe he could be the threat to the outside that the Cowboys have needed. He is quick to get to the outside and he has good hands to catch the ball out of the backfield. I know it is easy to pick the number one pick in the draft, but he will be ...
