Honestly, there’s not much to report lately in Cowboy land. Here are some little tidbits that may or may not be of importance along with my opinion on the subjects. *Linebacker Bradie James has been chosen to wear the defensive communication helmet in the upcoming season. Great call, James plays every down and has been around a few years, I think he will be a great leader and I think more responsibility will do wonders [...]

Which Cowboy was born in Salina Kansas on September 4, 1978, plays cornerback and wears the number #41? Any Cowboy fan can answer, the fantastic (single) Terence Newman. Newman attended Salina Central High School where he lettered in basketball, track, football and baseball. He graduated in 1998 and was listed as one of the top 20 recruits in Kansas. Terence’s senior year he played all sides of the ball. On offense he had 10 receptions  [...]

Monday night I was on the phone with my brother, John who was asking me why Marion Barber wasn’t reporting to minicamps or working out with the team. I had theories. I had opinions. I thought maybe it was Barber’s agent Drew Rosenhaus’ idea. Maybe he was trying to make Jerry Jones nervous. "Agents are always trying to get that little extra just so they, themselves can get paid", I complained. Then I blamed Jerry [...]

I have always had a hard time picking out a favorite player on the Cowboys.  I tend to be a “team” concept kind of guy.  It’s all about the team not the individual.  Terrell Owens, however, is different.  I have to admit that T.O. has definitely become one of my favorite players. To be honest though, it hasn’t always been this way.  Like many other fans, when I heard T.O. was coming to Dallas, I [...]

Cowboy quarterback Brad Johnson came home to the Asheville area this past weekend to give back to a community that takes a lot of pride in calling him one of her favorite sons. Brad attended Owen High School here in Black Mountain, NC from 1983-1987.  He was an all-American quarterback for Owen and an all-state basketball player on a team that featured future UNC Tarheel standout and NBA center Brad Daugherty. He came home to [...]

In August, two former Dallas Cowboys Stars, Drew Pearson and Tony Casillas will be inducted into the Jim Thorpe Oklahoma Hall of Fame. When I think of Jim Thorpe I think of an exceptional athlete. Drew Pearson definitely fits that category. Drew attended the University of Tulsa where he played QB. Drew became a Cowboy as a undrafted free agent in 1973. He played his entire 10 year career as a Cowboy. He scored 48 touchdowns [...]

It looks like former backup tight end Anthony Fasano will indeed get his shot on the first team with the Miami Dolphins. The Sun Sentinel reports that Bill Parcells has every intention of using Fasano as his starting tight end this season. He leads the competition at the position and should handily walk away with the job locked up. Here is what they say… The battle to become the starting tight end will also be [...]

When the only running backs on the team are Pro Bowler Marion Barber and rookies Felix Jones and Tashard Choice, it’s hard not to notice the absence of the veteran, Barber at the off-season conditioning programs and work-outs. His decision not to accept the Cowboys one-year tender offer of $2.56 million dollars in lieu of a multi-year contract is becoming more than a mild distraction to say the least. It must be tough for rookies [...]

As a member of several Cowboys Blogs and subscriber to every online news that has anything to do with The Cowboys, I have seen lots of Chatter this week. I thought we should open up a dialogue on all these things going on this week with you Starstruckers. It has been too quiet around here the last few days and I love stirring the pot anyway. (I am reserving my opinion on all of this because I [...]

Clint Longley.  Does the name ring a bell? It may not if you’re under the age of 30. Because if you’re under 30, you never saw Longley play for the Cowboys, although you may have heard about him. Clint’s career with the Cowboys was brief, but not without heroics, not without drama, and certainly earns him a place as one of the most fascinating players in Cowboy history. Clint Longley came to the Cowboys in 1974 as a [...]
