It was Thanksgiving Day in 1981 and the only thing the Cowboys seemed to be thankful for was getting past the 3-9 Chicago Bears with a victory. The win put the Cowboys in first place in the NFC East with a 10-3 record. The Cowboys were one of the best teams in the NFL in 1981 and the Bears were one of the worst teams. But it didn’t seem that way as this Thanksgiving game [...]

What do all these predictions for Super Bowl XLV really mean? I’ve watched over the last few weeks as analysts have broken down every team and given their professional opinions on what they think will happen in 2010. But isn’t that all it is? Just thoughts and opinions? I find it hard to believe there is an exact science to make these predictions. I understand that those I watch on TV are former players and former coaches, but [...]

It was December 16, 1979 when the Washington Redskins came to Texas Stadium tied with the Cowboys for first place in the NFC East with 10-5 records. This game would turn out to be one of Roger Staubach’s finest moments as well as his last great comeback in his Cowboys career. The NFC East showdown between these heated rivals did not start out the way the Cowboys had wanted. On the Cowboys first two possessions [...]

It is being reported on ProFootballTalk.com that Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning news has said teams have called asking about Sam Hurd’s availability. Archer has said that the Chiefs and Rams could be possible teams interested. Sam Hurd has been a big part of the Cowboys special teams over the last few years. But with Miles Austin, Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton, Kevin Ogletree and rookie Dez Bryant ahead of him, Hurd is not likely [...]

The third preseason game is supposed to be a measuring stick for each team and to set the stage for their regular season. I’m thinking someone forgot to tell the Cowboys this because of their performance tonight against the Texans. I’m writing this post with the score 23-0 Texans in the third quarter because I don’t see much need to wait until after the game. From the opening kickoff the Cowboys looked tired and slow. [...]

After watching this past weekends game against the Chargers, I was going to write a post about how I thought they did. Breakdown the game and analyze it. But then I thought to myself, why? It’s only preseason, right? This is why they play these games. Not so much to win, but to work on things and get better. To allow those unknown players and draft picks a chance to show what they have on [...]

He was told he was too slow for the NFL and would not be able to make it. He went undrafted in 1981 coming out of Grambling State University. His dream then became a reality when his hometown team signed him as undrafted free agent. Everson walls went on to play 14 seasons in the NFL and made an immediate impact from the time he stepped onto the field in 1981 for the  Dallas Cowboys.    [...]

When the subject of the Dallas Cowboys is brought up people either love them or hate them. There is no in between when it comes to the Cowboys. The same can be said about Danny White. I became a fan of the Cowboys in the late 1970s when Roger Staubach’s Hall of Fame career was coming to an end. So growing up a Cowboys fan in the 1980s the quarterback I knew was Danny White [...]

As we approach the third preseason game there are some things that stand out. Although the media will focus on the negative most of the time, I’ll stick with the facts. The Cowboys first team offense is like a machine. They drive the ball up and down the field. I understand that they have not produced a touchdown yet through two games, but it’s not something I’m worried about. This offense will score touchdowns. They are [...]

Class…It’s the one word that has always described Emmitt Smith on the field as well as off the field. Emmitt Smith stood at the podium as the crowd gave him a long standing ovation. Then Emmitt Smith did what he had done his entire career. He showed class as he thanked everyone that got him to the Hall of Fame. It wasn’t about him at all on his night. He thanked the Cowboys organization, his coaches, [...]

It was reported on ProFootballTalk.com this morning that Brett Favre will not be returning to the Vikings this season.  Favre is expected to issue a press release later this afternoon. He has also started to communicate this to teammates. Reports are that Favre’s ankle has not responded after surgery and rehab this off-season. I believe Favre said the same thing last season during training camp and a few days later he was on a plane to the [...]

It was announced yesterday that the Cincinnati Bengals signed Terrell Owens to a one year contract. With the Cowboys and the Bengals playing in this years Hall of Fame game on August 8th, it makes the game a little more interesting. The Cowboys will see Owens on the other sideline for the first time since being released after the 2008 season. Owens put up some productive numbers for the Cowboys while he was with the [...]
