Cowboys Run into a Buzzsaw

Were the Dallas Cowboys playing Providence Steam Rollers? Because that accurately describes what happened. The Denver Broncos lose their best player, LB Von Miller via trade. And they go on the road and drop 30 unanswered points! 

Dak Precott had perhaps the worst game of his career. The Coaching Staff and their refusal to try the Field Goal early on was mindboggingly stupid. A 30-16 final could have been closer, even as close as seven points if they kick the Field Goal!

The defense could not stop anybody either. A 30-16 final score. A couple of touchdowns and two point conversions in garbage time. 

On to Atlanta!

Yu Darvish to Cubs? NFL picks power zone podcast 12 17 2017

Podcast is up! Thoughts on Yu Darvish, Pittsburgh Steelers, John Fox, Dak Prescott and NFL picks!

Three Things the Dallas Cowboys need to do tonight....

1. Draft a Defensive End to replace the loss of DeMarcus Ware

2. Draft a Linebacker to backup Sean Lee in case of injury.

3. Don't draft a Quarterback! We need defensive help much more. Draft Romo's replacement next season if you can.

This Is Why Dez Bryant Is The Steal Of The Draft

Go Dez! Make Us Cowboys Fans Proud!

My Day One NFL Draft Thoughts

Here are my thoughts on day one of the NFL Draft, in no particular order.

Dez Bryant: The next NFL Superstar
The Dallas Cowboys made a fantastic move in picking up Dez Bryant with the 24th pick in the NFL draft. Jerry Jones apparently still loses sleep at night over the fact he didn't draft Randy Moss in 1998 due to "character issues." Bryant is a pure physical specimen, much like Moss when he came out of college. Great pickup by The Cowboys.
It was a suprise to see who came after Bryant with the 25th Pick...

God Bless Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow has taken a lot of heat lately. He's taken heat for his "pitching motion" type delivery. He has also taken a lot of heat for his unapolegetic faith. Tebow has since reformed his delivery. Tebow claims he lost some endorsements when he did that Super Bowl Ad, but he says it was a small price to pay.

I wonder if Kurt Warner had gone to the NFL Draft, if he would have been treated the same way some folks are treating Tim Tebow.

The reason he went #25: Josh McDaniels had to pick him up before Bill Bellichick would get him.

I heard somebody say that Tim Tebow would be a Super Bowl Champion in the NFL. It seems like the feel good story of Tebow will continue.

Expect Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning to dominate your TV Set this NFL Season with countless comercials.

Lions get Some Defensive Help
The Detroit Lions drafted Ndamukong Suh out of Nebraska. The Lions are starting to build up their defense. Good move, especially when you consider the Lions face great QBs in Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Jay Cutler in their own division.

Is Sam Bradford Damaged Goods?
I know Sam Bradford was considered the purest QB on the boards, but I still can't get past the fact that Bradford suffered not one, but two injuries to his throwing shoulder. I know the surgery is supposed to make him good as new, but with the lack of an offensive line in St Louis, Rams fans better keep their fingers crossed.

Clausen, Colt Still on board due to McNabb?
Day one of the NFL draft passed with Jimmy Clausen out of Notre Dame and Colt McCoy out of Texas still on the board. I wonder if the reason Clausen or McCoy are still on the board is due to the fact that Donovan McNabb is now a Redskin. If I had a choice between a young 20 year old QB and a 33 year old QB who may be in the worst shape of his career, I would take the 20 year old QB.

Video:Dallas Cowboys Practice Facility Collapses after Thunderstorm

Cowboys special teams coach Joe DeCamillis was among 12 people injured when winds just shy of tornado strength ripped through the roof of the team's indoor practice facility during a rookie minicamp Saturday.

The storm hit while 27 players were going through workouts. There were about 70 people in the facility, counting coaches, other team personnel and media, officials said.

Ten of the injured were taken by emergency vehicles. Two others went to hospitals on their own.



Check Out the incredible footage below!

Here is what remains of that practice facility.

T.O. Has A New Team

Drew Rosenhaus said Terrell Owens would find a new team by the following week.

He was right on the money.

The Buffalo Bills have signed wide receiver Terrell Owens to a one year, $6.5 million contract.

T.O. talks about the new chapter in his career.


Drew Rosenhaus talks about the T.O. deal.


If the Bills end up playing the Cowboys in the New Cowboys Stadium, that would be...awkward.

I can't wait to see the Bills play the Patriots. Randy Moss and Terrell Owens will be in a receivers duel.

How long will it be until Terrell Owens complains about Trent Edwards not getting him the ball enough like he complained about Tony Romo? I'll bet probably by the second week of the season.

As a Cowboys fan, though, I wish T.O. well in Buffalo.

T.O's Days In Big D Are Over

Put your Popcorn away, Cowboys Fans.

Terrell Owens will not be a part of the Cowboys when they move into their new Palace in Arlington next season.

The Cowboys met with Terrell Owens in person yesterday and told him the news.

As a Cowboys fan, I think the Cowboys are making some huge statements.

The first statement: Team Chemistry is important, and any player who disrupts that, no matter who they are, has to go.

The second statement: The Cowboys believe that the release of Owens will relieve them of the sideshow, but as long as Jerry Jones owns the Cowboys, there will always be a sideshow.

The Final Statement: The Cwboys (foolishly) beieve that the release of Owens will suddenly cause Tony Romo to become a leader, which he is not now or will he ever be.

Where Do The Cowboys go from here? ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr and Todd McShay debate.

Kitna Sent To Dallas

The Detroit Lions have traded Quarterback Jon Kitna to the Dallas Cowboys, according to NFL.Com.

UPDATE: 5:30 PM: In exhange for Kitna, the Cowboys sent cornerback Anthony Henry to Detroit.

Can Romo Be Effective With Broken Pinkie?

Tony Romo may play on Sunday against the Rams despite his broken pinkie finger.

What Are the medical implications of someone playing through an injury of this kind? Here is Dr. Michael Kaplan on Tony Romo's decision to play on Sunday.


What Are the Football implications of someone playing through an injury of this kind? Here is Kordell Stewart on how Tony Romo's broken finger will affect his throwing motion.

Cowboys Acquire Roy Williams From Lions

There Are now Two Roy Williams's on the Dallas Cowboys.

Their other Roy Williams has been a monster defensively, and now the Cowboys just acquired an offensive monster in That Other Roy Williams.

Williams, who played for the Texas Longhorns in College, brings Dallas a great recieving threat alongside Terrell Owens.

Tony Romo Out Four Weeks With Broken Finger

Tony Romo will miss four weeks with a broken finger, ESPN is reporting.

Romo broke the finger during the Cowboys loss to Arizona.

40 year old Brad Johnson will be the Quarterback for the next four weeks.

Johnson last started Week 17 for Dallas in a loss to Washington.

Obviously, the loss of Romo is huge. Romo loves to move around, while Brad Johnson is your classic Pocket Passer.

Will the clash in styles effect the Cowboys? We'll find out next week when the Cowboys play the Rams, who just got their first win of the season last week.

Cardinals Stun Cowboys in OT

The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Dallas Cowboys in overtime on Sunday. The Cardinals scored in OT on a blocked punt, the first time that has happened in league history.

Wow! What an incredible finish! That was the best game of all on Sunday! What a finish! A Blocked punt to end the game!

Week Two NFL Preview

In your Week Two NFL Preview, Matt Cassel, the new Patriots Quarterback, takes on Brett Favre, the old Savvy NFL Veteran.

Sorry folks. I didn't have time to put up my week One NFL Preview, so I just put up my picks instead. I finished 8-7 in Week One. I'll try to do better this week.

SCHEDULE NOTE: THE RAVENS-TEXANS GAME WILL NOT BE PLAYED THIS WEEK DUE TO HURRICANE IKE. IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO WEEK TEN DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO RELIANT STADIUM.

EARLY GAMES 1:00 PM EST

Bears At Panthers
Both of these teams are coming off upset victories. Matt Forte ran all over the Indianapolis Colts defense and spoiled the debut of the new Lucas Oil Stadium.

Both defenses will limit the effectiveness of the opposing offenses. Whoever capitalizes on turnovers most will win this game.
BEARS OVER PANTHERS

Titans At Bengals
With an injured Vince Young, the Titans will turn to the veteran gunsliger Kerry Collins. If the Titans can stop the passing attack of Carson Palmer, they will win this game. That's a huge if, however.
BENGALS OVER TITANS

Packers At Lions
Aaron Rodgers Monday Night Football debut was a success. He did his first of many Lambeau leaps in the Monday Night win against the Vikings. The Detroit Lions lost their first game of the season against Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons.

Both Rudi Johnson and Ryan Grant could have big days against the opposing defense. If this game comes down to the passing game, Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson could have a couple of big yardage days.
LIONS OVER PACKERS

Bills at Jaguars
The Bills had a huge Week one. Roscoe Parrish had a huge return for a touchdown that broke the game open against the Seahawks, which the Bills won. The Jaguars lost 17-10 to the Titans.

The Bills looked good in week one. I think Marshawn Lynch and Maurice Jones-Drew will have two huge games.

JAGUARS OVER BILLS

Raiders At Chiefs
Both of these teams lost their Week One Games. The Chiefs lost to the Patriots 17-10. The Raiders lost to the Raiders 42-14.

Darren McFadden and Larry Johnson could tear up the opposing defense and the field.
CHIEFS OVER RAIDERS

Colts At Vikings
How funny. I picked these two teams to meet in the Super Bowl, and they are meeting each other in the second week of the season. If the Colts defense had trouble against Matt Forte, how much more trouble will they have against Adrian Peterson? Peyton Manning looked incredibly rusty in his loss to the Bears. Colts fans hope that Peyton will get his rhythm back this week.
VIKINGS OVER COLTS

Giants At Rams
The Giants looked solid in their week one debut. You would never have known the Rams were even on the field the way the Eagles blew them out in week one. The Rams have problems that will take more than a week to fix. The Giants will blitz early and often. Will the Rams be ready?
GIANTS OVER RAMS

Saints At Redskins
The Saints will be without Deep Threat Marques Colston. Drew Brees and Jason Campbell could engage in a Quarterback Duel. The team that makes the least mistakes will win.
REDSKINS OVER SAINTS

4:05 PM EST GAMES

49ers At Seahawks
Both of these teams lost in Week One. The 49ers were beaten by the Cardinals, while Seattle lost to the Bills. Alex Smith's season is over. Expect Frank Gore to be even more of a factor in this game. How will Jullius Jones fare? If this game comes down to the passing game, Seattle should win.
SEAHAWKS OVER 49ERS

Falcons At Buccaneers
Last Week, Matt Ryan had the greatest debut any Quarterback could ever have. Matt Ryan threw a 64 yard touchdown pass in the first pass he ever threw. The Buccaneers lost to the New Orleans Saints. Jeff Garcia may not play in this game.
FALCONS OVER BUCCANEERS

4: 15 PM EST GAMES

Dolphins At Cardinals
Last Week, Chad Pennington faced his old team and was outdueled by Brett Favre. Will he get outdueled by another Ginslinger, Kurt Warner? Warner made smart decsions in the Cardinals win over the 49ers. I'll go with Arizona. Their passing game could give them the edge in this game.
CARDINALS OVER DOLPHINS

Chargers At Broncos
The Broncos beat down the Raiders in their Week One win. The Chargers lost the game on the final play, as Jake Delhomme threw the game winning touchdown pass. Shawne Merriman will not play this season after all. LaDanian Tomlinson didn't have a big game against the Panthers, and I don't expect him to have one against Denver either. This game has two great young Quarterbacks in Jay Cutler and Phillip Rivers going head to head. If this game comes down to the running game and special teams, San Diego will win. If this game comes down to the passing game, Denver should win.
CHARGERS OVER BRONCOS

Jets At Patriots (The Game Of The Week)
This game should be fun to watch. You have Brett Favre, the experienced veteran taking on Matt Cassell, who will the Patriots Quarterback for the rest of the season now that Tom Brady is out for the season. Cassel was criticized for his play in Preseason. Patriots fans better hope he steps it up in the regular season, or New England could be in trouble.

I remember what I wrote in my blog after Brett Favre joined The Jets:

"The Patriots won't go 16-0 again this season. "Broadway Brett" will make sure of it."

I said that a month ago, and I stand by that now. The Jets will beat the Patriots.
JETS OVER PATRIOTS

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
BROWNS AT STEELERS
The Steelers impressed in their Week One debut. The Browns did not. Willie Parker rushed for three touchdowns against the Texans, while Jamal Lewis was shut down by the Cowboy defense. The Browns defense will have to stop Willie Parker if they want to win this game. Ben Rothelisberger could be poised for a big day through the air.
STELLERS OVER BROWNS

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
EAGLES AT COWBOYS
Donovan McNabb destroyed the Rams in Week One. Tony Romo survived against The Browns. Marion Barber bruised his ribs in Week One, so expect to see more of Felix Jones this season. He looked really good in his NFL debut. His first NFL Carry was a rushing touchdown. The Cowboys defense will have to blitz McNabb and force him to move around in the pocket. The Cwoboyswill also have to contain Reggie Brown, who looks great after one week.

The fact that the NFC East has two potential playoff contenders and the Super Bowl Champions is proof that the NFC East is the toughest divison in the NFL.
COWBOYS OVER EAGLES

Enjoy The Games Everyone!

NFL Clears Pacman to Play for Cowboys

It was a dangerous move for Jerry Jones to lure Adam Jones to Dallas, but if Pacman helps Dallas get past the first round of the playoffs, I'm sure all Cowboys fans will come on board.

The Dallas Cowboys open the 2008 season against the Cleveland Browns.

Suprise Conductor For "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" During Cubs-Diamondbacks Game Sunday

Check It Out! It's Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo!

Tony Romo has a unique predicament being from his part of Wisconsin. I guess he wasn't close enough to cheer for The Brewers.

I sympathize with Tony because I have the same predicament as he does. I am a diehard Cubs Fan (Being At Wrigley was Amazing) and I also love the Dallas Cowboys. Same thing as Tony Romo.

Hopefully Tony Romo watches the Cubs win the World Series while I watch Romo win the Super Bowl one of these years. That would be sweet!

Cowboys Win Zach Thomas Sweepstakes

The Zach Thomas sweepstakes are over.

The seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker, who was released by the Dolphins last week, has agreed to a deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Thomas flew to Indianapolis on Friday to meet with owner Jerry Jones and president Stephen Jones, who were there for the NFL combine.

The move is somewhat shocking in that, at one point, Thomas had considered canceling his meeting with the Cowboys after meeting earlier this week with the Patriots and Saints.

Thomas remains in Indianapolis with his new employers and could take a physical as early as Saturday.

There were numerous reports, including ones in the Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram, that said Thomas and the Cowboys had agreed on a $3 million, one-year deal.

Thomas' family members are lifelong Cowboys fans, and that may have played a part in the decision.

Thomas is a native of Pampa, Texas, and then went to Texas Tech. The Dolphins selected the 5-foot-11 linebacker 154th overall out of Tech in 1996, and he led them in tackles 10 times and is the teams' career leader in that category.

Thomas missed most of last season because of concussions and migraines and was placed on injured reserve against his wishes in December because of nagging migraines, an aftereffect of an Oct. 21 car crash.

He played 168 games in Miami, the most by a defensive player in Dolphins history. He had a career-best 165 tackles in 2006.

Where's Terrell Owens Going? Nowhere

Getcha Popcorn Ready, Cowboys Fans. Terrell Owens isn't going anywhere.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that he will pay Owens a $3 million bonus due in March, essentially guaranteeing the wide receiver a spot on the team's 2008 roster.


"Yes, we're going to have Terrell back," Jones said after a morning Senior Bowl practice at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

Owens' status with the Cowboys wasn't as certain at this point in 2007. Owens had a tumultuous first season in Dallas and suffered a finger injury that required two off-season surgeries.

But the Cowboys stuck with Owens and the move paid dividends. Building a close working relationship with quarterback Tony Romo, Owens had a banner 2007 season with 81 receptions for 1,355 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also generated far less off-field controversy and fit better into the team framework under a new head coach (Wade Phillips) and position coach (Ray Sherman).

Owens, who turned 34 last month, will be entering the final year of a contract set to pay him a 2008 base salary of $4 million. Jones said he has yet to weigh whether the Cowboys will seek to re-sign Owens to an extension.

"Down the line, we're just looking at those decisions about who's going to be back and who we may have to look to replace," Jones said. "I don't want to sound evasive about extending him. That's not the case."

Agent Drew Rosenhaus didn't immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.

Jones may have to replace another veteran wide receiver in Terry Glenn, who appeared in only two games last season because of knee problems. Retirement or micro-fracture surgery on his knee are two possibilities for the 33-year-old Glenn, who is set to earn $1.9 million in 2008.

"Over the days ahead, we'll talk to him about that," said Jones, who has two emerging young receivers in Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin on his roster. "He really pushed to get back for these playoff games ... Terry's one of the guys I raise my glass to. He wanted to be a part of a Super Bowl team."

The Cowboys fell short of that goal when upset by the visiting New York Giants, 21-17, in the second round of the playoffs. Dallas (13-4) became the first No. 1 NFC seed since 1990 to lose a second-round game.

Jones said he still hasn't moved on from that disappointment but already is looking forward to the 2008 campaign.

"I can't block it out and I shouldn't," Jones said. "But what I can tell you is that from the standpoint of being proud of our year, I have blocked it out. I can do that. I am going to enjoy this year more than I could have said after the (Giants) game.

"You would almost have to look away to not see that this year has increased our expectations and helped form a foundation for future success ... We're thinking we're going to be better as we look into the future. We've got to live up to that."

Having Owens back in the fold should help.
