It also got my creative juices flowing, and the result is… The Ultimate [...]

Have you guys checked out 4th and Long yet? I have been watching and recording 4th and Long all season and I absolutely love it. Watching these young players trying to make the cut and playing their hearts out is really something. Michael Irvin has to be one of the hardest coaches I have ever seen.

If there was a national monument built for the Cowboys, what would it be? I think it should be just like Mount Rushmore. Lets call it Mount Cowboys. Now we have to decide who we think should be on this national monument. If any Cowboys player or staff member had an impact on the Cowboys they should be on this monument. Here are my choices and why I think they deserve to be on Mount Cowboys. [...]
