  Okay, I'm swamped up to here penning a cover story about a former Cowboy you haven't thought about in a long time, so let's make this snappy. Besides, isn't it best to eat your crow on the run? After praising Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo in a swath of I-told-you-so's last week, he went out and looked like the goofball from the worst flag football team you ever played on. Goofy grins. Running to the heater between plays. Sailing passes. Fumbling. Throwing high and wide intercep

• Behind ESPN/ABC Sports Boss, Jerry Jones is Most Powerful Man in Sports.

  The morning after his Dallas Cowboys find themselves two wins from clinching a wild-card spot, owner and general manager Jerry Jones is still pretty high -- which is to say, he sits at No. 2 on Sports Business Journal's list of sports' 50 Most Influential figures. Jones is behind only George Bodenheimer, president of ESPN/ABC Sports -- makes sense. As for Jones, he's up 13 spots from last year's list. How come? One billion guesses.

• Cowboys About to Get Farked Over

  This morning, I sort of casually mentioned that Your Dallas Cowboys had come up with one of the worst ideas in the history of goodbyes: allowing fans to choose the last song ever played over the Texas Stadium public address system following the Ravens game. That's the ballot pictured above -- and, yes, those are the actual official choices. Well, as has been pointed out to me repeatedly this morning, the New York Mets did something similar for the final Opening Day game ever played at Shea Stadi

  Tony Romo, all is forgiven. At least for a week. After one of the most Gawd-awful performances of his career - or, let's face it, any career - in Pittsburgh, the Cowboys' quarterback went out Sunday night and padded his legacy with a game straight from Hollywood. Aching back and nagging teammates be damned, Romo willed Dallas to a crucial victory over the Giants by throwing two touchdowns, committing zero turnovers and withstanding four brutal sacks. Two more games like that and

• You Betcha: Week 17

  Back in August I started with a mythical bankroll of $10,000, courtesy of Bodog Online Gaming. First of all, because their site is easy to navigate. Second, because they're based in Costa Rica and have had minimal success tracking me down in the past. I was to analyze games of local interest each weekend and make a wager every Friday. With any luck, by Christmas it was going to be toys for everyone. Welp, Christmas is here. The fortune? Eh, notsomuch. Or, is it merely still en route?

  Lowlights from the final night at Texas Stadium: *I know the Buccaneers and Eagles lost yesterday and there's still hope for the Cowboys making the playoffs. But what happened Saturday night was inexcusable. *Safety Ken Hamlin, who played in the Pro Bowl last January, was unblocked and had both hands on both Ravens' runners on the final, fatal touchdown runs of 77 and 82 yards. Hamlin went low on Willis McGahee and his left forearm just caromed off the running back's knee. Hamlin then we

• Final NFL Quarterback Rankings

  According to the Pro Bowl, Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner are the two best NFL quarterbacks of 2008. According to me, nonsense. Warner has the best receivers in the league and throws in the worst division in football. Manning was steady, but hardly spectacular. My rankings, which take into account quarterback rating, team record, TD-to-Int differential and which way the wind's blowing, culminate today. And my winner - surprise - ain't even headed to Hawaii. 32. Dan Orlovsky - Lions 31

  Dude, there's no looking back. Is there?You know those pigs that were raised by dogs so when they grew up they thought they were, well, dogs? Pacman Jones is a pig. I've been promised visual photographic evidence by my Sportatorium spies at some point, but for now we'll go with eyewitness acounts from those who attended Dallas Cowboys' safety Ken Hamlin's birthday party last night at American Airlines Center. Among the 300 or so people at the event, which too

  Jerry McClureIrvin to Rich Behm's family: $40,000For the first time in a long time, the Dallas Cowboys are actually acting like a unified team. In the wake of the Valley Ranch practice facility collapse on May 2, last night's premiere of Spike TV's new reality series Fourth and Long at Sting matured from a big party into a bigger purpose. The event was delayed a week and turned into a fundraiser for Cowboys' scouting department assistant Rich Behm, paralyzed from the waist down in the tragedy. A

After the leisurely practice, Phillips put them through conditioning drills - consisting of two sprints across the width of the field.
