Once again it falls upon all Americans to take a pause from the daily grind in remembrance of all the brave men and women that have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country and gave their lives. We at Lone Star Struck honor their memories this Memorial Day. We also take great pride in all the servicemen and women who continue to serve their country and defend the American way of life all over the world. [...]

The last thing the Cowboys need right now is a divided clubhouse, especially after the lessons learned during the Terrell Owens era. Since drafting wide receiver Dez Bryant in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft, one too many Cowboy players have been chirping about their status on the team and wanting out of silver and blue. At first, I felt it was just a natural reaction for some players to balk when a [...]

One of the Cowboys that I immediately started liking from day one of covering Dallas was Patrick Crayton. Crayton came from the Parcells era where Dallas would make excellent draft choices of key starters for future Cowboy teams. Crayton was one of those guys that wasn’t supposed to succeed. He was a seventh round selection, who originally had played quarterback at Northwest Oklahoma State his senior season while playing wide receiver the previous three. Okay, [...]

This afternoon the NFL announced that Super Bowl XLVIII will be played at the new Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey. This first cold weather site without a dome stadium will be the location of the ultimate game in the NFL, the one game all teams strive for every September, the one game that will make one team world champions. What do I think about this decision? I think it’s wrong! I just don’t understand how the ultimate game [...]

Staubach Speaks The Cowboys had a special guest speaker after practice today. Roger Staubach addressed the team and told them that if they pull together as a team anything is possible as reported by DallasCowboys.com. “I just talked about having the right people in the right places and pulling together,” said Staubach. ”That’s the big difference, pulling together. Miracles happen, you know? “Back in ’71 that’s what happened to us. We were 4-3, complaining and yelling [...]

Spring and summer football leagues have come and gone over the years trying to keep our minds occupied during the off-season of the NFL. I’m sure we have all seen Arena football since it has been around for many years. It’s not really football in my opinion, but it is fun to watch. Then there was the World League that lasted quite a while, but I just could not get caught up in it. Then [...]

Competition seems to be the chosen word at the Cowboys OTA’s this week. From the offensive line, to the defensive line, to safety and onto the wide receivers. It’s the wide receiver position that has me intrigued this off season. The receivers from 2009 are all back, at least for now. One is looking for a new contract, two want trades and another just wants to shut everyone up. Then add in a player that some people are saying could be [...]

In the past few weeks, there has been a good deal of activity involving the Dallas Cowboys. The first item of business is that Dallas traded inside linebacker Bobby Carpenter to the St. Louis Rams for offensive tackle Alex Barron. Now, Bobby Carpenter is the only high draft pick made in the Bill Parcells era that truly was disappointing. He was a highly admired linebacker out of Ohio State, which is one of the premier [...]

As any Cowboys fan knows, the dog days of offseason are long and boring. Nearly every day you seek any news or rumors about your team and rarely come up with anything. Today I spent time with family and had a lazy day and what do you know, the Cowboys go and make a little rumble. I know at least a handful of people who will be happy to hear this news… The Cowboys have [...]

First thing’s first people, my favorite Cowboy of all time turned 41, Emmitt Smith. He’s one of the greatest. I’m not sure if anyone else goes through this but other people often have something to say about Emmitt. Either he never took a lot of punishment like other backs; he benefited from great offensive line; he lacked power; he wasn’t as good as Walter Payton or Barry Sanders, and so on and so on. I [...]

David Moore, Cowboys beat writer for The Dallas Morning News, answered some questions about the team Thursday during a live chat which you can review in it’s entirety here. I picked out some questions that I found very interesting and wanted to share on LSS. Here’s my two cents: FS position doesn’t impact games unless you have a total stud. Having a mediocre one doesn’t hurt you as long as you have 3 good corners, and [...]

Emmitt Smith The last thing I want to do is wish summer away before it even gets here, but the Hall of Fame Game between the Cowboys and Bengals is less than three months away. It’s not so much the game I’m excited for, it’s the excitement of seeing Emmitt Smith going into the HOF. Emmitt Smith is my all-time favorite player and I’m going to enjoy watching him enter the Hall. There’s going to [...]
