To readers of Lone Star Struck: I’m sorry that I have not been here in a while. I’ve been swamped with school, and I knew that Kelly and the other writers have things covered mostly, so the breaking news pieces aren’t needed from me. However, I needed to give my thoughts about the draft that is just tomorrow. Here is what I would do. Everyone has a opinion. Everyone has an idea of what they [...]

I’ve cooled down, and I have not created a giant poster of Alex Barron’s image to throw darts at. Now it is time for the fan to soothe his emotions and for James Williamson to tell you what went wrong. Well, there are three things that made that opening game a horrendous nightmare for Cowboy fans and ruined my weekend. First: THE MISS I’m disappointed in David Buehler. He has to make those field goals [...]

I don’t know if there has been larger pressure on any Dallas rookie than there is on Dez Bryant. Over the last several years television and NFL coverage has expanded which has put every NFL team under a microscope. Combine that with the fact that Dez Bryant was suspended by the NCAA for lying about corresponding with Deion Sanders, and also the fact that he’s such an amazing talent with a team that many believe [...]

Well, it is about that time of year where everyone talks about how Tony Romo is unfocused because he’s not playing football 24/7 and actually tries his hand at golf.

When it comes to the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones is one of the best, if not the best, owners in the National Football League. As a general manager, he’s one of the biggest riverboat gamblers on either side of the Mississippi River. A lot of times he’s been right, and a lot of times he’s been wrong. Having enough faith in our backup receivers to cut Terrell Owens and subsequently, Miles Austin emerged. Good. Trading [...]

Dallas hasn’t officially starting the training camp, but voluntary OTAs (Organized Team Activities) are going on, and mini-camp will be coming along. For starters, we have a serious injury to second-string cornerback, Orlando Scandrick, who “shattered” his finger on the 26th of May. The injury is indefinite for now. Scandrick believes he isn’t going to be catching balls until training camp starts in late July. He was breaking up a pass intended for wide receiver [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have selected Dez Bryant as their new first round draft choice. Since being drafted, Bryant has been in the news constantly, and I felt that instead of writing two or three mini-articles about Bryant, I’d do what the writers of Sports Illustrated do and just write a long article about Dez Bryant covering everything. Let’s get this thing started with: Dez Bryant Will Be Talked About Whether He Is Good Or Bad [...]

I hate free agency after the big players are signed. After Julius Peppers and LaDainian Tomlinson went to other teams, I got bored. Dallas is a big part of that boredom because they haven’t done anything. They haven’t pursued anybody that may have need of. Part of that is Jerry Jones’ fault; part of it is the fact that Dallas is such a great team that it doesn’t have a need for many players to [...]

Terrell Owens is now a UFA which means unrestricted free agent. Anyone can pick him up for however much money he and his agent agree to. He is an example of the joys of free agency which give hope to struggling teams looking to improve their team by going after experienced players for lucrative contracts. According to Sports Illustrated, Cowboys wide receiver, Patrick Crayton, has stated that he would welcome the return of Terrell Owens [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have been the center of criticism and unwarranted jabs for a long time. That said, I can honestly state that this team is one of the best in the league, especially since it won its first playoff game in over a decade. It was a long time coming for us Dallas fans, and I treasure that moment up with the ones you would have on today’s holiday of Valentines Day. However, I [...]
