I LOVE HATERS

As the new season arrives each year, we as fans are inundated with previews and predictions from every and any sports magazine that is imaginable. When I was younger I would be waiting for them like I would wait for Santa Claus on Christmas. These days, with the internet and ESPNEWS and the overall coverage of pro football, I am usually nauseated by this experts predictions and that pundits crystal ball halfway through training camp. At [...]

Anyone Have Any Spare Receivers?

Good morning Cowboy fans, The Cowboys got out of Texas Stadium with another pre-season win (and thank goodness the last one) or should I say they limped out? That’s right if you happen to be to busy to attend the game or watch on television because you knew it would be a “roster cut” game then you missed Sam Hurd go out with a sprained ankle. Hurd was expected to be the third receiver when Terry Glenn [...]

A Great Time To Be A Fan!

Hi Everyone!I have been sitting on this excitement for a week! I have so much to share! Let’s start at the beginning: Open Practice!

Dallas vs. Minnesota and a Kid Named AD

Good evening everyone, Well “the boys” have their final tune-up on Thursday night when they play host to the Minnesota Vikings. This should be an interesting game even though in the opinion of this writer, I think the dress rehearsal was against the Texans. We probably will see very little of the starting units since opening day is right around the corner. If coach Phillips hold true to form, the last of the roster looks will [...]

StarStruck Fan Spotlight: True Blue New York Cowboys Fanatic

My name is Maurice Francis and I’ve lived in Brooklyn, NY all of my life (a brief stint in Philly for 2 1/2 years…I’ll get back to that later). I’ve been a Cowboy fan since 1976. I knew nothing about pro football at the time. I watched Tony Dorsett at Pitt and fell in love with his gamesmanship. I followed him to the Cowboys. The very first time a saw a Cowboy game, I fell [...]
