How I saw Week 13 of the NFL: How bout dem Cowboys? Leave it to the Cowboys to lose a game like no one else ever has, by icing their own kicker. It was both lovely and bizarre to watch and was the most important result on Sunday. Dallas kicker Dan Bailey drilled a 49-yard [...]

Leon Lett and the dumbest play in Thanksgiving game history
The only words you will hear more than “Happy Thanksgiving” this Thursday are likely to be “Leon Lett.” That’s because the former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle committed the most boneheaded play in Thanksgiving game history 18 years ago when the Cowboys hosted the Miamid Dolphins. The Cowboys, up 14-13 with 12 seconds let in the [...]
Stop the gay rumor-mongering against Troy Aikman and others
Troy Aikman gay rumors again took center stage last week when the Hall of Fame quarterback was asked by Dallas radio host Dan McDowell about Skip Bayless’ 1996 book that discussed rumors that Aikman is gay. Aikman and the radio hosts spent a whopping 60 seconds discussing the rumors in Bayless’ book, and all of [...]
Saints lose to Cowboys, unbeaten no more
So much for two unbeaten teams meeting the Super Bowl. The Dallas Cowboys spoiled the New Orleans Saints’ perfect season, going into the Big Easy to win, 24-17, Saturday night. The Cowboys never trailed and were the better team. The Saints had a last-gasp chance to play for the tie, but Drew Brees lost a [...]
Dallas Cowboys and a long December
When asked at Monday’s press conference about the team’s routine December decline, coach Wade Philips lost his cool a bit, of course blaming the perception on the media. No, I don’t think it’s a mental block. I think it’s something you made up. Made up? Hmmmm. Since Tony Romo became the starting quarterback of the [...]
The NFL says, Do Over!
So let me set the stage. Jerry Jones spends $1 billion dollars of his own money to build one of the most beautiful stadiums in America. They’ve solved a bunch a problems with the old stadium, including how to close the roof during inclement weather. Jones spared no expense to prove the point that everything’s [...]
Quick hits: Cowboys, Spurs, Lance
Three Dallas Cowboy offensive lineman have signed a deal to put out a heavy metal album. Good think the ‘Boys got rid of T.O. and all of those distractions!!

Gay porn star’s sex with a Cowboy
Gay porn star Barrett Long told Howard Stern today that he has been hired for sex by a member of the Dallas Cowboys. Resident sports nut Artie Lange immediately piped in, throwing out names of Cowboys he thought might be the culprit, including Tony Romo and Michael Irvin. Why would a pro athlete hire Long? [...]
T.O.? More like N-O.
Terrell Owens got his popcorn last night with a little surprise. His release from the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys decided a $9 million cap hit was worth getting rid of the future Hall of Famer (for ability in both football & inducing headaches). Sources are reporting that Owens finally just became too much of a [...]
Bayless stands by gay Aikman rumor
Wacko. Clown. Fool. These are some of the words that come to the minds of many when they think of Skip Bayless. The over-the-top sports reporter often featured on ESPN (shocker) made a real name for himself with a book many years ago about the Cowboys of the 1990s. In it he talks about rumors [...]
Terry Glenn arrested naked and high?
Those of us who are old enough will remember the old campaign for Morton’s salt: When it rains, it pours. This week that translates into multiple marijuana stories and a couple naked athlete escapades! The latest suspect is former NFL wide receiver Terry Glenn, who was arrested at an extended-stay hotel near Dallas last week [...]
Martellus Bennett fined for homo-laden rap
The Dallas Cowboys slapped tight end Martellus Bennett with a $22k fine for his cuss-word and epithet-filled rap that was yanked quickly off of Youtube, which is about a dollar for every person who watched the video. Now Bennett has a new rap “apologizing” for the first rap: Why they hatin on me, it was [...]
Cowboy player’s rap rhymes ‘Romo’ with ‘homo’
One more sign that the Dallas Cowboys are the most dysfunctional, screwed-up team in the NFL is this rap video from tight end Martellus Bennett. He drops f-bombs and other naughty words in verse that can only be described as deranged. And in rhyming something with quarterback Tony Romo, he came up with (you guessed [...]
Ever wanna be a Dallas Cowboy?
Ever have a dream of making it on an NFL team? Working with the likes of Jerry Jones, Deion Sanders and other Cowboys greats? How about just seeing Terrell Owens in the shower? All this can be yours if you can win a new reality show on Spike TV hosted by Michael Irvin this summer [...]
NFL helping Cowboys into playoffs?
Here’s the latest sports conspiracy theory, courtesy of Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw: the real reason the NFL moved Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game to 4:15 ET is to help the Cowboys into the playoffs. For the Eagles to still have a chance at the postseason, they need Tampa Bay to lose, and also [...]
Flex for me baby!
Alright, now that Week 16 is almost done, there are only 5 spots left in the “NFL Post-Season Tournament” (colloquially known to you and me as the Playoffs) and the NFL has moved around their schedules for Sunday the 27th. So now, you can sit and wait even longer as you develop ulcers and agonize [...]
Phillips: T.O. kissed Jason Whitten
Before anyone starts in on the “how sophomoric” comments, I am well aware this isn’t earth-shattering news. But, I do think it’s interesting if only in a “what an odd choice of words” way. After his team’s “resurrection” victory over the Giants Sunday night, Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips was asked a question about all [...]
