In March of 1980 Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach retired from the Dallas Cowboys. There to step in as the next Cowboys quarterback was Danny White. It was Danny White who served as Staubach’s backup from 1976-1979 and now it was his turn to lead the Cowboys. I’m sure it wasn’t easy following Staubach after the career he had with the Cowboys, but Danny White took full control of the team and became a leader. It [...]

Welcome to the first day of summer 2011. Here we are with no free agency and no OTA’s or any kind of a normal off-season schedule. The good news is that I’m hearing some positive things from the labor meetings as far as progress. I’m hearing that a deal might be done by the 4th of July weekend which would be very nice for everyone. Of course these are all rumors, but at this point I’m willing [...]

In our lives things are constantly changing. We may change jobs, make new friends, start a new relationship, move to a different place, and so on. With all the chaos life throws at us, there’s one thing that remains constant. I don’t have the same friends as I did when I was a teenager, I don’t even live in the same state, but one thing has remained the same – I have always been (and [...]

I hope everyone enjoyed their Fathers Day weekend. Here is something that some of you may have missed. After what seemed like some significant progress regarding negotiations to end the NFL lockout, word has it that they came very close to blowing up again. Two weeks ago, as I reported here on LSS, there were some secret meetings taken place, reportedly without any lawyers present – just the player representatives and owners. The Washington Post reported that a framework to an agreement [...]

What happens next month during the NFL Supplemental Draft if Terrelle Pryor has not been selected and the Cowboys are sitting there in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th round with a decision to make. Is he worth giving up a pick in the 2012 draft? I don’t follow college football like I follow the NFL. I can only go by watching highlights of players and listening to certain people who report on college football.  I also go by [...]

The NFL Network continues to run down the Top 100 Players in the NFL and checking in at #36 was none other than Cowboys tight end Jason Witten. The Top 100 is voted on by the players so this just shows how highly regarded Witten is among his peers. Antonio Gates has not been ranked yet, but it’s assumed he will be the top ranked tight end with Witten a solid second. With Witten being announced today at No. 36, [...]

It’s been a difficult offseason for Cowboys fans this year, mostly because of the ongoing lockout. The Cowboys news has been so sparse that most blogs will post just about anything including Felix Jones’ favorite Ninja Turtle (Donatello), Tony Romo’s choice of cake for his wedding, J-Rat’s new diamond studded toothbrush, Dez and his attempted jewel heist, and the world’s largest scoreboard getting a tune-up. Well – maybe the days of rehashing the same old and [...]
