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 [...]

DeMarco Murray: Healthy & Hungry
DeMarco Murray does not really want to talk about the Dallas Cowboys’ “window closing,’’ the notion created by owner Jerry Jones in the spring and now regurgitated daily on ESPN. Nor does he especially want to discuss the nature of his successful rehab from last year’s Week 14 ankle injury and surgery that robbed him [...]

Cowboys Put Their Draft Eggs in Claiborne’s Basket
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. But that’s exactly what they did, filling a need along the way. Dallas traded up in the draft’s opening round to the sixth overall pick [...]

Cowboys Can’t Afford a Miss at this Year’s Draft
For the first time since 2002-03, the Cowboys will have back-to-back first round picks in the top half of round one. In those two drafts almost a decade ago, Dallas selected S Roy Williams and CB Terence Newman, who combined for seven Pro Bowls over their NFL careers. Neither was considered a “bust” and both [...]

Currently the Mavericks and Stars are fighting for playoff spots and/or positioning. In the Mavericks case, we want to see what they will look like when [...]

Random Sports Thoughts Running Through an Oversized Bald Head
In the 51 seasons of the Washington Senators/Texas Rangers, the franchise has never enjoyed four straight winning campaigns. There has been a trio of three-year runs, 1977-79, 1989-91 and yes, 2009-11. It would be stunning beyond words if this season didn’t mark the first four-year run. Really, at this point, whether it’s fair or unjust, [...]

What Now For Jones and the Cowboys?
As I watched the New York Giants dismantle the Atlanta Falcons yesterday I couldn’t help but wonder why that wasn’t the Cowboys playing in front of their home crowd, advancing to the round of eight. But really, were they that close to being a playoff team? Did they really have a chance to win that [...]

Dan Bailey – Mr. Walkoff Field-Goal?
The hallmark of the Jason Garrett era thus far is close games. Win or lose, almost every time the Cowboys play, the game is going to be decided in the final minutes. So they better have a reliable kicker. Maybe the Cowboys saw this coming. Because all the way back in training camp, they brought [...]

Hurd in a World of Hurt…With my Old Car
I was absolutely shocked to hear that former Cowboys receiver Sam Hurd was arrested on federal drug charges. While Hurd was with the ‘Boys he was always a great team player if not a star. He occasionally caught a few passes but he really excelled on special teams. The kind of player and teammate that [...]
