This past weekend I took a trip to Dallas and made my way down to the new stadium construction site. It was a Sunday so the workers weren’t on duty. I could see it from miles away, but as we approached the scene my jaw dropped and I just said, “WOW!” I could not believe the progress since Thanksgiving, the last time I visited Dallas. Look at this picture I took just six months ago. [...]

Great job by Jason Witten who decided to go back to college this off-season, complete his remaining credits, and earn his degree. The Star-Telegram writes… The Dallas Cowboys tight end was about 25 hours shy of graduating when he opted to leave Tennessee early to enter the 2003 NFL Draft. Five years later, he’s about to earn a bachelor’s degree in sports management. Witten never struggled academically: he was an academic All-SEC selection in 2002 [...]

I wanted to share this interesting article I found at the Star-Telegram this morning. In it, the Dallas Cowboys Beat Writers have sort of a round-table and fielded a few questions ranging from Roy Williams, Mini-Camp, and Ken Hamlin negotiations. Who was the biggest surprise during mini-camp and why? Mac Engel: I know he’s a first round pick so he should not be a surprise, but there is a thought that Felix Jones is already [...]

Dallas Cowboys (12-4) By Paul Bessire, WhatIfSports.com The Super Bowl run by the Giants after they defeated the Cowboys may not have sweetened the taste in the Cowboys’ mouths, but this is still a very good, balanced team that had a great 2007 and should match that in 2008. The Cowboys average 29.9 points per game (#2 in the NFL) and allow 19.7 points (#6) against a schedule featuring eight games against 2007 playoff teams. [...]

Where’s T.O.? – Tuesday was pretty uneventful as far as mini-camps go, and the biggest news was not even regarding any of the players in camp. Instead it was the absence of Terrell Owens that made the top news of the day. He has permission to miss camp due to a family emergency. I hope that everything turns out okay for him and his family. Pacman Fever – In other mini-camp news, Wade Phillips was very [...]

All Dallas Cowboys and LoneStarStruck fans, stop skimming the obituaries.  Stop endlessly surfing the web for answers.  Derek Sanders has not died.  He has not been stranded in the wilderness.  He has not been washed onto the shores of a desert island.  Contrary to popular belief, I am alive and kicking and anxiously awaiting to start of another season of Dallas Cowboys football.  Now I have two Christmases a year marked on my calender.  My second Christmas comes [...]

Can you believe we are already nearing the end of June and that football season is slowly , but surely inching it’s way back into our lives. On Tuesday all Cowboys players will be on hand for the start of mandatory three-day mini camp.  The Cowboys will get a good sense of where the new guys like Felix Jones, Tashard Choice and Mike Jenkins will fit in exactly. It should also be the beginning of an interesting [...]

I think everyone would agree that getting old sucks. I turned 40 on Monday so I know first-hand the magnitude in which it can suck! But on the bright side, the older you get the more memories you have. I have tons. For instance, watching The Doomsday Defense dismantle the Denver Broncos and former Cowboy Craig Morton in Super Bowl XII. Then after the game I watched as Harvey Martin crushed an "Orange Crush" pop [...]

Free agent Chris Canty signed a one-year tender worth $2.017 million yesterday. Fans were wondering when Canty would get signed with training camp approaching. The defensive end had a decent year last season with 43 tackles and 4 sacks. Canty has played in every Cowboys game since being drafted in the 4th round of the 2005 draft. Chris Canty was the last key player who had yet to be signed. Now that all of our core players are [...]

In Plymouth, Minnesota, on June 10, 1983, Marion Barber III was born. I am sure when his parents named him, they had no idea his nick name would become “The Barbarian”. Barber was a Trojan at Wayzata High School, where he stood out in football, baseball and track. On the football team, he played both sides of the ball, including running back and defensive back. Barber’s high school stats were pretty amazing. He rushed for 1,778 yards [...]

You may have heard, a few days ago the Cowboys offered wide receiver Terry Glenn a $500,000 injury waiver. In essence this means, if Glenn’s knee keeps him from playing the Cowboys will only be out $500K as opposed to his $1.74 million salary. Reportedly, Glenn is unhappy with this offer and has yet to agree to the terms. What is he holding out for? Does he truly think another team is going to give him a better [...]

According to The Ticket (1310 AM out of Dallas) Terrell Owens’ contract has been extended for three more years, until 2011. This upcoming season would have been Owens’ last year on his current contract. T.O. recently announced he would love to finish his career in Dallas and I’m pretty sure Jerry was listening. The actual figures have not been released but he deserves every cent they agreed upon. On March 18, 2006 Terrell Owens signed a [...]
