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 [...]
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 [...]
We are so lucky to have all four major team sports here in DFW. They provide endless amount of entertainment both on and off the field, court or ice. 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 [...]
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 [...]
Tell the truth, Cowboys fans. Do you trust Tony Romo? You saw what he did in the fourth quarter of the opener against the Jets. That inexcusable fumble while trying to run the ball into the end zone, when he could’ve fallen down and settled for a field goal. Instead of a great road win [...]
This is, still years after his passing, the genius of Tex Schramm. When the late former Cowboys’ President conceived the idea of the Ring of Honor, it was unique in the NFL. Schramm didn’t believe in retiring jerseys, but he did think there needed to be a way to pay permanent homage to the greatest [...]
It’s the worse surprise since Kim Kardashian announced she was going to marry a pro athlete. We all knew that the NFL lockout was just a prolonged high school prom with two partners who didn’t want to make the first move to ask the other one to dance. Now we can put the ugly part [...]
I’m not going to pretend to be Mel Kiper Jr or Mike Mayock. There’s no way for me to guarantee you which players will develop in the National Football League 2-3 years from now. The truth is, no one can. The draft is the ultimate gamble, that’s why it’s my favorite sporting event. With that [...]
If you’ve been checking through the sports pages either in the paper or online, you may have noticed that Tony Romo has been in a few headlines. Oh, no he’s not working on that throwing motion…or beefing up in the weight room to avoid another season-ending broken bone…he was leading the Northern Texas PGA Adams [...]
I’ve been to a few Super Bowls in the past, obviously never one in my own backyard. Maybe it’s the natural cynic in me or maybe it’s the fact that I’m getting older and less tolerant–in short becoming my dad — but these super-mega events can be a real pain in the butt. Overall, I [...]
