Brad Sham on Measuring Success
We do it all the time. We constantly evaluate how we’re doing, and if we’re making progress or going backwards. Backwards, by the way, is not the direction we usually want to go. We live in a success-measuring world. And it’s a hard place to be all the time. Once upon a time, in a [...]

Witten in a Class by Himself
The first pass that Jason Witten caught in his NFL career was thrown by Quincy Carter. With that ominous start, Witten has gone on to a 10-year career with the Cowboys and established himself as one of the best tight ends in the game’s history. Earlier this season he passed Michael Irvin on the Cowboys [...]

What Do You Want?
Intriguing question from a friend the other day: “Are the Cowboys getting better?” The answer, perhaps, depends on your perspective. Another way to ask it with a longer view might be, “Are the Cowboys making progress?” If that’s the question, we shall make a case for the answer being, “Absolutely. But it’s going to take [...]

Mo Claiborne: Here Comes The Heat
Following Morris Claiborne’s very first workout at Valley Ranch – one punctuated by his explosive and brilliant work experimenting as a punt returner, something he never did in a game in his career at LSU – the Dallas Cowboys rookie dropped a philosophical bomb on the DFW media. “The ball tells you stories,’’ Mo said.

Stress Reduction
Ok, let me stop laughing long enough to get this straight. Now that LeBron James has won his NBA title and been good enough to bring his Miami Heat teammates with him to his one-man show, we have moved the burden of American Sports Figure Most Under Pressure To Win A Title to–Tony Romo?

Entering the 2012 NFL Draft with the 14th overall pick in the first round, it appeared inconceivable that the Cowboys would land one of the top players in the draft.
