Just saw on a tabloid that Jessica and Nick might be getting back together. I wonder if they will fire up a reality show that chronicles their fall from grace. They could use each other to become relevant again. Brilliant

PSizzle,

We are in the process of becoming a no nonsense team. We are still a work in progress, but we are much closer to that goal now that we have shed a ton of baggage. The impetus for the article was inspired by off the field drama…but I am trying to emphasize all the change in Big D will soon lead to more talk on the field. It seems like forever that the media, experts talked about something other than T.O, Pacman, Jess Simpson etc

I did indeed mean Miles Austin; my dyslexia must be kicking in.

You misinterpreted part of my previous comment. I wasn’t downing you for writing about the Cowboys on a Baltimore site, I was questioning your resounding statements about how the Cowboys are a new (no nonsense) team when you originally decided to write this article in response to a nonsense story (Romo’s love life).

How fun would the show be if the Ravens played the Boys in Super Bowl

Dallas is going to use a ton of 2 TE sets AND use Barber & Jones in the backfield together. We got to have Felix on the field and healthy, or the Cowboys will struggle. He is our only true home run threat (Miles Austin?) and he can keep defenses from loading up the box against us. If he is injured teams will suffocate the line of scrimmage b/c our receivers are not going to strike fear in opposing DB’s. On the defensive side, Wade may be a bad head coach, but he can definitely lead a defense. We were much improved after Stewart was fired as DC and Phillips ran the D full time. He is aggressive and the players will hopefully respect him more if he is in all of the defensive meetings dropping heavy knowledge. Especially if he lets them blitz and try to make plays.
I have no legs to stand on and cant argue with you about Wade. BUT, let’s just wait and let the season play out before we pile on the guy that he sucks. This is his last chance and the proof will be in the pudding. If we fail, he will be gone, period. There is no drama there.
Pat, you are playing with fire asking me about why I was prompted on writing the article. I would post a Cowboy article EVERY week if I thought I could get away with it in a Baltimore sports market. Because of the Romo/Simpson human interest element, I felt like I cold sneak in some other content.

Ryan
How can you write the following:

“The Cowboys are finally becoming a football team that will get more headlines for their play on the field than the distractions off of it. Whether they win or lose, much of the media sex appeal of the Cowboys has subsided as they look to compete and get down to business in a rugged NFC East.”

Why did you originally write this article? Sound draft? Smart signings? No, we’re talking about the Cowboys, because Romo broke up with his Hollywood girlfriend! Furthermore, Jerry Jones is a major party in Michael Irvin’s trumped up reality TV show, “4th and Long”, which should be called “1st Man Cut”.

Maybe I’m being too harsh…the Boys did shed T.O., Pacman, and Tank, but they kept Wade Phillips. I’ve told you a million times that the Cowboys had and still have a TON of talent, but no one respects Wade Phillips. Teams take on the demeanor of their head coach and that’s the last thing you want if your coach is Wade. I guess if he steps to the side, coaches the defense, and plays more of a figure-head role as head coach then things might pan out.

If I were Garrett I would run the ball and use two tightends packages(both for short yardage run blocking and short/intermediate passes) like it was going out of style. 3 or 4 times a game, when the defense starts loading the box, I’d run a Go to R. Williams, or maybe use him as a decoy to pull the safety and hit Austin Miles, or Patrick Crayton.

Needless to say this will be a interesting season in Dallas.

maybe he’ll start banging the chick from Heroes or Lauren from the Hills. Maybe he is ready for Paris Hilton or one of her BFF crew. Heck, what about Audrina from the Hills? I think she may die her hair blonde for him. He needs to inflect some LA rock n roll into his resume.

I’m a big fan of Carrie Underwood, not musically, but everything else she is doing seems great. I don’t know if I could handle the crowd Sophia Bush has hanging around her…the first time some dude with a loud shirt and frosted tips spilled his cranberry and vodka on me I might lose it and catch a 4 games personal conduct suspension from Goodell. Romo is sort of that douche type of guy (see Lakers game – fake vintage Led Zep shirt), so may he could handle that. If I was Romo I’d take it way back and start hitting on Elizabeth Shue…did you see Hamlet II? Terrible movie, but she is still BEAutiful. I might press my luck and try for Keira Knightley.

We need to speculate on his next high profile girlfriend. Any rumors out there?
