What a difference a year (and a lockout) makes. If there is one position on this football team that has impressed me this preseason, it has been the youngsters along the offensive line. If you would have told me that, leading into the season opener, Kyle Kosier would possibly be the most experienced player along Dallas’ offensive line, I would have asked you if winning football games was your primary motive. Jason Garrett and Jerry [...]

Here are some team notes from around the web and ESPN and DallasCowboys.com. LB Keith Brooking is not sure he will play Saturday at Minnesota, but the veteran linebacker would like to. “Is it an absolute necessity? I don’t think so,” Brooking said. “I’m going to feel comfortable either way.” Brooking practiced for the second straight day after missing roughly three weeks with a hamstring strain. Cornerback Mike Jenkins participated in team drills Wednesday for [...]

Big news today as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced that Drew Pearson, Larry Allen and Charles Haley will be inducted into the Cowboys Ring Of Honor. Look for the induction ceremony to take place during halftime of the November 6th game against the Seattle Seahawks, and let me just say how excited I am about this. As we read here on LSS last week, there were rumors floating around that Drew Pearson was going to be enshrined in the [...]

As the Cowboys get ready for week 2 of the preseason against the Chargers, I can’t help but get excited about some of the position battles going on. There seems to be a different feel to the team right now as far as not expecting the same starters to keep their jobs like in past seasons. Competition makes players stronger and in the end hopefully it makes the team stronger. I have my thoughts on some of the battles [...]

“Without living in the past, we try to put that in front of our players to
understand what the tradition means, what the star means, what the standard is
and all that,” head coach Jason Garrett said. “I think it fits in with all of
that. It was Rob’s idea all the way. He brought it up to me and I said I love
that. That’s tremendous.”

I am in no way a VIP.  But I have had the luck to experience a lot of special memories from the NFL over the years.  I will share a few. When I was young I had the chance to go see some games with Dad.  And car pool to the games with our family.  Everyone should have a chance to go…at least once.  I received a signed ball from the Super Bowl V Champion [...]

2011 Hall of Fame Enshrinee Deion Sanders came to Canton, Ohio with TRUTH. “Truth” in this case is the name that adorned the group’s shirts.  And you could easily locate them making their way around the Hall grounds.  They were in attendance for the Enshrinement Ceremony and they watched the Ground Breaking Ceremony for the Hall’s new addition. I had a chance to ask several members of the squad exactly what TRUTH stands for.  They [...]

Speaking in a small group to Deion Sanders was an enlightening experience. The flamboyant entertainer is also a reserved and humble individual. He is a man who puts others first. You will hear Deion speak of family, and that certainly includes his immediate family and his mother – but he also has an extended “family”. He traveled to Canton with seven buses that included his TRUTH football family. His respect for older players is honorable. [...]

It was great to finally get back into football last night as the 2011 Cowboys started their preseason with a 24-23 come from behind win against the Broncos. The starters were out of the game early, which meant a chance for the other players looking for a spot on the team to show their stuff. With any first preseason game there were some good things and some bad things. The new Rob Ryan defense is still a work [...]

I thought this day would never get here! The Dallas Cowboys will host the Denver Broncos tonights at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. Kick-off is at 7:30 PM CST and will be broadcast live in the Cowboys local viewing area or re-broadcast on Friday on the NFL Network . Updated Injury Report Pos. Player  Injury  Status  C Andre Gurode Knee Placed on PUP list LB Bruce Carter Knee Placed on non-football injury list RB DeMarco Murray Hamstring [...]

DeMarco grew up being a Dallas Cowboy fan.He said in a recent interview “I also got to see Adrian Peterson for a year there. And he demonstrated how hard he worked – even when he wasn’t getting the ball.
It’s just about hard work and that mind-set of competing”
