According to a report from Associated Press a federal judge on Monday ordered an end to the NFL lockout, giving the players an early victory in their fight with the owners over how to divide the $9 billion business.U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson said she was swayed by the players’ argument that that the lockout, now in its second month, was causing irreparable harm to their careers. The plaintiffs “have made a strong showing that [...]

Less than two weeks until the biggest day of the Cowboys offseason, the NFL Draft. One potential candidate whose name keeps coming up in mock draft after mock draft, is Prince Amukamara. Coincidentally, the talented cornerback out of Nebraska was a guest of the Cowboys yesterday at Happy Valley. He was one of a bunch of players who visited with the team as they get a first hand look at some of the players they may [...]

The 2011 Official Pro Bowl Program is a beautifully designed magazine that contains articles and player profiles. The program is available  for online viewing as well as download. Below are the profiles for the five Cowboys originally elected to the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl. (Miles Austin was selected as an alternate therefore doesn’t have a profile in the program.) The game between the NFC and the AFC will take place tonight at 6 p.m. CT at [...]

For years and years I’ve complained about how lifeless and uninspiring former Cowboys head coach and defensive coordinator, Wade Phillips has been for the Cowboys. He had no dynamic energy that his players could feed off of, and too many times lack of passion after a loss. We all became too accustomed to his post game comments after we had our asses handed to us. His usual “ho-hum, we were outplayed again” message did very [...]

After ending the 2010 season a disappointing 6-10, the Cowboys will pick 9th in the 2011 NFL draft. While some would have rather the Cowboys lost the finale and received pick #6, I like what DeMarcus Ware had to say about the situation: “It’s all about pride. When a fan sees you’re still fighting in the last game of the season and you don’t have anything to play for, you talk about the winning tradition [...]

Several sources are reporting that the Dallas Cowboys have removed the interim tag from Jason Garrett role and have named him the next head coach. NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi is reporting that the Cowboys have removed the interim label from head coach Jason Garrett. A high-ranking team source tells Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that “Jason Garrett will likely be named the Dallas Cowboys’ head coach.” Jason Garrett becoming the head [...]

I’ve spent a lot of this season airing my utter frustrations with Marion Barber and Roy Williams, both of whom I see as finished as far as their effectiveness and value to the team goes. But there is another… Can we all agree that our big experiment with David Buehler as the Cowboys’ place kicker has been nothing short of an epic and massive failure? The Cowboys’ offseason to-do list is long and chock full [...]

Yesterday, Jerry Jones made it official; Tony Romo will not return to the lineup this season. The news is a little bittersweet as many of us wanted to see the season end on a high note even if it meant getting out on the field for a quarter or two. Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo who suffered a broken collarbone in Week 7, will not get a chance to take a snap for the Jason [...]

It’s been a season filled with ups and downs, but mostly downs. After the devastating loss of quarterback Tony Romo, I like many others thought we’d be in for some ugly football the rest of the way. When Jason Garrett took over as head coach, I was optimistic that we might see some inspired play by our team, even though any chance to earn a playoff spot was already shattered. What we’ve learned under Garrett [...]

Newman and Jenkins continue to slide and in the process our secondary keeps getting worse and worse. You can usually tell these things just by watching the games and seeing them get burned for big plays by the opposition. But the numbers really do bear it out as well. The Dallas Morning News recently wrote that based on data alone, the coverage provided by Jenkins and Newman has been far from impervious. They are among [...]

1938 – 2010 Yesterday, all of Cowboys Nation was saddened over the tragic loss of a Dallas Cowboys icon, Don Meredith. Dandy Don, as he was best known, died at the age of 72 after suffering a brain hemorrhage and lapsing into a coma. Meredith started playing for the Dallas Cowboys in 1960, and was the original Dallas Cowboy, signing with the team two months before the franchise officially was admitted into the NFL. He [...]

It sounds to me like Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is being stubborn again. When he was asked about the struggling Marion Barber who is having his worst season ever as a Cowboy, Jones was not willing to give up on him despite plenty of evidence that his star is fading fast. “I know certainly he’s got critics but I wouldn’t go that far in any way to say his time is done with the Cowboys,” [...]
