Michael Irvin reminded me why he’s my favorite athlete of all time during the series premiere of “4th and Long” on Spike last night. Nobody is more intense, nobody loves the Cowboys more, and nobody would be a better motivator for the 12 players hoping to make the Dallas roster.
“I’m seeing guys kneeling down when [...]

4th and Long, Punt Team!
OK Zuri, minor league football is pretty sweet, I’ll grant you that. But, say you want to fill the void until football season, but you’re unwilling to get off the recliner to do so (and I don’t blame you). Now what? Huh? Michael Irvin has the answer, as always. “4th and Long” starts Monday night [...]
Well, he did a better job of explaining what it isn’t – yelling at your teammates to get them motivated. Emmitt Smith was one of many that said the Cowboys lacked leadership, someone who would get in people’s faces when the times were rough. (Of course, if Terrell Owens does it, it wouldn’t be leadership). [...]
OK, I’m putting words in his mouth. But the receiver did say that the Cowboys offense was the easiest to figure out in the entire league. Oh, and Ray Lewis said this before the Ravens beat them in the Texas Stadium finale, adding that he had no doubt they could shut them down. Trust me, [...]

Week 17 Rooting Interests
Dallas Cowboys – First and foremost, let’s get America’s Team and God’s Team, which by no coincidence happen to be the same team, into the playoffs. If Arizona can make it, and either San Diego or Denver can make it, I feel like the Cowboys deserve to make it. And I deserve it. I’ve been [...]

Pacman reinstated Part II
I keep telling everyone that Adam “Pacman” Jones is perfectly capable of behaving and not breaking laws. As long as it’s for short periods of time. Four games? Piece of cake. One season? That’s asking a bit much.
The NFL has decided to reinstate Pacman for the second time in four months after apparently completing some [...]
For some reason, I think I get Terrell Owens. I probably think I understand a lot more about a lot of things that I don’t, but not T.O. I get this guy. What some people don’t seem to understand when they criticize him for wanting the ball more, is that it’s all about wins and [...]
From the Wire:
Associated Press — The NBA All-Star game is coming to the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in 2010 and plenty of good seats are available — more than 100,000.
Living up to the old adage about doing things bigger in Texas, the Dallas Mavericks and Cowboys are collaborating on hosting next season’s showcase event. It [...]

Begging for Bollinger
I don’t ever want to see Brad Johnson pick up another football and try to throw it as long as I live. He is not accurate, he is not mobile, he does not make good decisions and he can not throw past 10 yards.
He was a joke against the Rams, with three interceptions to only [...]

Brad Johnson blows it
Has anyone ever seen Brad Johnson and Matt Cassel in the same room at the same time? Have their teams ever played a game in the same time slot? They’re remarkably similar in their ability to ruin a team’s Super Bowl chances.
Johnson and Cassel, in it together. How? Why? Alright, here we go, the answer’s [...]
