I was reading some things on DallasNews.com and thought I would share some of them with you as we are now about one hour before entering 2010. Redskin Fined I’m sure everyone remembers the hit that Patrick Crayton took on his only reception last Sunday night. It was a shot to the head by Redskin linebacker London Fletcher. The NFL has fined Fletcher $10,000 for the hit, calling it “striking a defenseless receiver in the [...]

It’s been a heck of a ride this year at Lone Star Struck, and though we’re sad to see 2009 go, we are absolutely pumped for a new year in 2010. On behalf of everybody at LSS, I want to thank all of our amazing readers for their tremendous support this past year. I am so honored and privileged to be part of a Cowboys fan site that have some of the most passionate, knowledgeable and articulate fans in the Dallas Cowboys Blogosphere. [...]

It’s probably been burned into your brain by now, but its hard to believe the last time the Cowboys won a playoff game was on December 28, 1996. Its really hard to imagine. Someone asked me when the last time they won in the playoffs the other day and I said 1996, then all of a sudden it dawned on me, my son was born in 1996. My son is now a teenager and even [...]

The 2009 Pro Bowl Rosters have been released and the Dallas Cowboys will be well represented with a total of six players. Two of them are starters and the other four are reserves. I don’t expect any of them to actually play in the Pro Bowl since they will be too busy getting ready for the Super Bowl. The Pro Bowl in case you did not know will be played the weekend between the Conference [...]

So here we are. The last game of the 2009 regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys have already earned a spot in the playoffs and have a chance to win the NFC East if they beat the Eagles on Sunday. They also have an outside chance of getting the #2 seed and a bye. I guess you could say that the last two weeks have been kind of a coming out party for [...]

I’ve been away the last few days and haven’t really had a chance to read up on what I thought would be a mountain of excitement from Cowboys fans in the blogosphere, and man, was I surprised. Does anybody realize that the Cowboys clinched a playoff berth on Sunday night, or has the reality of that situation not sunk in yet? Last week, one of my co-writers on this site (Michelle G.) penned an excellent piece [...]

Oh what a great feeling it is! The Cowboys are guaranteed a spot in the playoffs after tonight’s win over the Redskins, no matter what happens next week against the Eagles. Even though it really seemed like the Redskins gave up long before the game ended, the Cowboys definitely deserve their spot in the post season. From the beginning of the season until last week, no one (outside of the Cowboys faithful) believed this team [...]

First of all, I want to wish all my fellow Cowboys fans Happy Holidays! I hope you all get everything you wish for and more. I’m going to tell you all what I consider to be a true fan. Some of you may agree, and some may not. This is just my opinion. To me, a true fan is someone who still loves their team even if they are 1-15….or 16-0. No matter how many [...]

Sportscasters and sports journalist everywhere are making way too much about what needs to happen for the Dallas Cowboys to clinch a spot in this season’s post season. I don’t really know why these things have to be so overly complicated to the point of utter confusion… The bottom line is this… The Dallas Cowboys are in control of their own destiny. They have tonight’s game against the Washington Redskins and next week’s finale at home [...]

How many of you out there are familiar with the film “Gangs of New York”? There was a scene were both gangs would stand across from one another face to face, ready to go to war. Those standoffs happen all the time during rivalry week. In 1999, I made it known to the world that I was a proud Dallas Cowboys fan. I’ve been riding with them since 1992 but in a Redskins house, I [...]

I wish you all the joy, hope and happiness of this Holiday Season! On behalf of everyone at LSS, we wish you a Happy New Year! May the beauty of the holidays be yours throughout the year!
