Our great Jason Witten will be honored by a hospital in his home state. Witten made a donation of $200,000 to Johnson City Medical Center in Tennessee. The Emergency Department will be renamed and the waiting room has been redecorated in his honor. Witten and his lovely wife Michelle are expected to be present at the ceremony.
The King of Pop Michael Jackson who left this earth yesterday had a connection with our Dallas Cowboys. If you remember the nineties Super Bowls you remember Michael Jackson performed the halftime show for Super Bowl XXVII. The Cowboys played the Bills at the Rose Bowl and the final score was 52-17.
There will be no new Ring of Honor inductees this season.
At the Texas Stadium tree transfer this morning, Jerry Jones said there would be no new members added to the Ring of Honor at Cowboys Stadium this season.”We of course are excited about what we’re doing in the Ring of Honor. We won’t be doing anything in the Ring of Honor this year as far as any new inductees,” Jones said. “But it’ll be every bit as emphasized in the new stadium as it was in Texas Stadium.”Currently the Ring has 17 members. A spokesman for the venue hinted the team would wait to unveil many of the building’s “bells and whistles” at the regular season opener Sept. 20. No new Cowboys have been enshrined since 2005, when Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin were honored together at halftime of a game against the Washington Redskins.- Josh Ellis of dallascowboys.com
Defensive tackle La’Roi Glover announced his retirement this week. The 6-time Pro Bowler played for Dallas from 2002-2005. He led the NFL with 17 sacks in 2000 and finished his career with 83.5, tied for 37th on the all-time list. He was tied for fifth among active players.
Public tours of the new Cowboys Stadium begin today. Stadium tours, at $15 for adults and $12 for children, will be conducted every half-hour and last up to 75 minutes. The tour includes the high-tech scoreboard control room, the press box, the Cowboys’ locker room and limited field access.

Witten is by far my favorite current Dallas Cowboy. It’s things like this that make him such a standout person off the field. We need more players with his character.

EVERYONE OF THOSE PLAYERS SHOULD BE DONATEING MONEY TO VARIOUS CHARITYS. IF YOU ARE THAT LUCKY TO BE BLESSED WITH THAT TALENT, AND TO MAKE MILLIONS PLAYING A GAME, THEN U SHOULD GIVE BACK TO PEOPLE SUFFERING OUT THERE.BUT MAYBE THATS JUST EXPECTING TO MUCH FROM EVERYBODY TO BE HUMANE AND DECENT AND GIVE BACK TO PEOPLE WHEN YOU HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO DO WHAT EVER THE HELL YOU WANT!!
