Cowboys Reach Deal With Doug Free, Could Spell End For Colombo?
Last night, the Dallas Cowboys agreed to a very reasonable 4 year, $32 million dollar contract with left tackle Doug Free. Free, who was an unrestricted free agent, will get $17 million dollars of that deal guaranteed. The deal is a great one for the Cowboys and it would appear that he gave the Cowboys a hometown discount based on much higher deals for offensive linemen in the NFL. The savings could give the Cowboys some added flexibility to go [...]

It’s Official – NFL Lockout Is Finally Over!
According to the Associated Press, people familiar with the negotiations told them that the NFL and players have reached a deal to end the lockout.

Sanders, a former mentor to Bryant, told Atlanta’s WCNN on Tuesday that the Cowboys are more concerned than he is about the young player. “It’s hard to talk to a person when they have millions, man, because there is [...]

NFL Lockout: Finally, A Light At The End Of The Tunnel
So far, this NFL Lock-out has been a huge drain on the fans this year. There’s been no off-season trades, no free agents signings, and nothing to get very excited about. The players don’t seem to care as most of them are enjoying life laying out on private beaches, living large at night clubs and casinos, or spending countless hours on the internet chatting with friends or having fun playing online blackjack or poker. The owners [...]

40 Bill Bates – Special Teams – 1983-1996
Bill Bates started his career while playing as a safety for the University of Tennessee. While he was there he was named second-team All-Southeastern Conference his junior and senior seasons, and developed a reputation as the team’s hardest hitter and quickest tackler. Bill Bates was much smaller than other safeties in the league and for that reason he was not drafted in the NFL Draft. However, the Cowboys were so impressed with his sheer determination [...]

NFL Labor Talks Almost Blow Up
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.
