The Cowboys started the 1993 season with a 0-2 record as Emmitt Smith stayed away due to a contract holdout. After the second loss Jerry Jones realized the Cowboys needed Emmitt Smith to win and he signed him to a new contract. After signing his contract the Cowboys won their next four games as they entered a Halloween match-up with the Eagles. Against the Eagles Emmitt Smith took control and continued to add to his [...]

I’ve always been a rah! rah! positive type of fan, well that is until this season came along. It’s one thing when you give 100% and fail, but when you aren’t even putting forth your best effort or doing everything humanly possibly to secure a win it gets really hard to be a confident fan. Yes, I know the Cowboys have been plagued with injuries galore and young players have been asked to step up, [...]

I’ve spent a lot of this season airing my utter frustrations with Marion Barber and Roy Williams, both of whom I see as finished as far as their effectiveness and value to the team goes. But there is another… Can we all agree that our big experiment with David Buehler as the Cowboys’ place kicker has been nothing short of an epic and massive failure? The Cowboys’ offseason to-do list is long and chock full [...]

One year ago on December 19, 2009 the Cowboys record stood at 9-5 after going to New Orleans and beating the undefeated Saints 24-17. DeMarcus Ware, who a week earlier was taken off the field on a stretcher with a neck injury, played in the game. He recorded two sacks and forced fumbles on both sacks. The last fumble coming with just six seconds left in the game. The victory over the Saints seemed to give the Cowboys [...]

With the Cowboys playing on Christmas night this season, I thought I would flashback 15 years ago when the Cowboys also played on Christmas night. It was the final game of the 1995 season and the Cowboys were traveling to Arizona. They were looking to lock up home field advantage in the playoffs as well as trying to raise their game to the level they knew they should be at. In the weeks leading up [...]

Yesterday, Jerry Jones made it official; Tony Romo will not return to the lineup this season. The news is a little bittersweet as many of us wanted to see the season end on a high note even if it meant getting out on the field for a quarter or two. Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo who suffered a broken collarbone in Week 7, will not get a chance to take a snap for the Jason [...]

If you tried out for the football team in high school, you’re probably painfully aware of how charmed Jason Garrett’s life is. His staggering talent was apparent even in high school when he dominated three different sports, earning honors and letters along the way. Since his teenage years he’s broken records, won two superbowls, retired as a player and moved his way up the ranks to become the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. He [...]

It’s been a season filled with ups and downs, but mostly downs. After the devastating loss of quarterback Tony Romo, I like many others thought we’d be in for some ugly football the rest of the way. When Jason Garrett took over as head coach, I was optimistic that we might see some inspired play by our team, even though any chance to earn a playoff spot was already shattered. What we’ve learned under Garrett [...]

When Jerry Jones hired Jimmy Johnson to coach the Cowboys in 1989 Johnson had a plan. He was going to build the Cowboys his way and bring back the glory days. Although the 1-15 record of 1989 was not a season to remember, there was one game that stood out as a stepping stone for future success for the Cowboys. The Cowboys went into RFK Stadium to play the hated Redskins with a 0-8 record. [...]

Newman and Jenkins continue to slide and in the process our secondary keeps getting worse and worse. You can usually tell these things just by watching the games and seeing them get burned for big plays by the opposition. But the numbers really do bear it out as well. The Dallas Morning News recently wrote that based on data alone, the coverage provided by Jenkins and Newman has been far from impervious. They are among [...]

I apologize for the late blog, But I am sure all of you can understand things happen. I had posted earlier about this thanksgiving day and that I won a trip from a radio station and that I would never forget it. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would have the trip OF A LIFETIME!!!! I am still on cloud 9 and will not have a voice for about a week. [...]

The Cowboys entered this Week 15 match-up against the Eagles looking to capture their 12th NFC East title in the last 16 years. The Eagles had taken the division title from the Cowboys one year earlier and now the Cowboys wanted it back. Danny White drove the Cowboys offense into Eagles territory on their first two possessions to setup Rafael Septien field goals, but Septien missed both attempts from 48 and 43 yards. The Eagles [...]
