• Cowboys 14, Redskins 10

  The Cowboys season was saved by ... Martellus Bennett?! You shittin' me? With one foot in the grave, the Dallas Cowboys not only climbed out of a death-trap deficit tonight in Washington but also resurrected their season. Admit it, with Tony Romo short-arming wobblers and Wade Phillips’ 3-4 defense surrendering a touchdown on the Redskins’ opening drive you were beginning to kick dirt on Dallas’ coffin. Give them credit, the Cowboys did not want to die. After the opening poss

     *Cowboys 34, Seahawks 9. Toldja.    *Isn't it great to have a quarterback who makes plays when plays aren't there to be made? I'm thankful, Tony Romo. Very thankful.   *Turkey sure was good, but the digestion process and my blowout-induced nap was uncomfortably disrupted by Marion Barber's right foot and DeMarcus Ware's left knee.    *Example No. 1,046 of why we don't need sideline reporters: Fox's Pam Oliver reported that Ware had ice on his "r

• Cowboys 115, Steelers 55

  I hear we've matriculated from MySpace to Facebook, right?Well, screw me. I never got around to creating a MySpace page. Was reminded why today.Don't tell the teens and the 'tweens - or my wife - but something about the whole deal strikes as, um, ridiculously fraudulent.Like, for example, the fact that there are  exactly 72 profiles using the handle, photos and persona of "Tony Romo".A little digging and I uncovered that the Cowboys may no longer be America's Team, but, compared to Sunday's

  If Marion Barber was healthy. If Ben Roethlisberger was healthy. If Felix Jones and Miles Austin and Kyle Kosier were all 100 percent for Sunday's Cowboys-Steelers game.Oh yeah, and if the field wasn't a patch of slippery sod slop out of a Saving Private Ryan battle scene.If all those were in play, I'd feel comfortable about Dallas plus 3 points in Pittsburgh. No doubt that, at equal strength, the Cowboys are a better team. With Tony Romo in uniform Dallas is 7-2 with losses only in overtime at

• One Thing Tony Romo Can't Fumble Away: The Top-Selling Sports Jersey

  Forbes this morning guesstimates that some half a million Tony Romo jerseys have been sold this year, would would make the Cowboys QB's No. 9 the top-selling top of 2008, even when you factor in baseball, basketball and that other sport that involves some kind of frozen liquid and a circle made of vulcanized rubber. Also on the Top 10 list of jerseys sold this year: Marion Barber (at N0. 8, with some 100,000 sold) and Terrell Owens, who brings up the rear at 75,000. Still, one must wonder if Jas

• Choirboys 20, New York Sack Exchange 8

  After the two teammates who disconnected last week connected this week, it was a third-string lineman and a third-string running back who ran the Dallas Cowboys past the New York Giants and firmly into their own playoff destiny Sunday night. Running behind beleaguered left guard Cory Procter, Tashard Choice clinched the 20-8 do-or-don't victory with a 38-yard touchdown with just over two minutes remaining. But, let's face it, for the third time in three games Dallas' defense looked ab

• Jason Garrett: Red Jesus or Red-headed Stepchild?

  As you'll read in this week's dead-tree version of The Sportatorium, hitting newstands tomorrow, I think Wade Phillips should be fired. Immediately. No, actually, I think Jerry Jones should've walked down to the sideline in the third quarter of the Philadelphia debacle after Tony Romo unceremoniously stripped Phillips of his credibility/authority and yanked the coach right off The Gong Show. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett? That's a different story. No doubt the Cowboys' offense - record-se

• After the Draft: Projecting the Cowboys' 53-Man Roster

  Ugh.There's a minicamp at Valley Ranch this weekend, only three months before training camp in San Antonio and a mere 139 days until the Dallas Cowboys kick off their 2009 NFL season against the Buccaneers in Tampa. No better time to look into my crystal football and predict the team's opening-day roster. I guess at this point we have to assume Wade Phillips is going to be back? Right, then. Onward and upward. I'm not holding my breath for the winner of Michael Irvin's reality s

• Tashard's Tour

  While watching this tour of Cowboys Stadium, keep reminding yourself that Tashard Choice is third string. Third. The video, shot after a recent OTA, includes cameos by Marion Barber III, Roy Williams, Jerry Jones and the Jonas Brothers. And it's hosted by the chattiest of Cowboys, who apparently owns a lot of dawgs, man's and boy's on the team. "Dat's my boy!" I told you last week Choice was the mouthiest player at minicamp. Have I reminded you that he's third string?

• Cowboys' Camp Questions?

  Home Sweet Dome.​A year ago at this time I was pegging the Dallas Cowboys for the "Super Bowl." Last time we saw them however - 44-6 losers in Philly on Dec. 28 - it was "or bust." Coming off 2008's 9-7 disaster, the Cowboys have shedded from their roster the leading receiver (Terrell Owens), second-best pass rusher (Greg Ellis), two best special-teams players (Keith Davis and Kevin Burnett) and the second-leading tackler (Zach Thomas). When the Cowboys open training camp in p

• The Dallas Cowboys' Final 53-Man Roster Will Look Like ...

  Let's not get greedy. For now we'd settle for a win in December.​This? Just hours before the first practice of training camp here at The Alamodome, I decided to doodle up what the Cowboys' final roster will look like come the Sept. 13th opener at Tampa Bay. It starts here. And ends up below. Clip 'n save, woncha? OFFENSE: QB: Tony Romo/ Jon Kitna/ Stephen McGee RB: Marion Barber/ Felix Jones/ Tashard Choice/ Deon Anderson WR: Roy Williams/ Patrick Crayton/ Miles Austin/ Sam Hurd/

Not worth a separate item these days because - yawn - The Ticket's dynasty just rolls on. Dunham & Miller and The Hardline have the equivalent of four-touchdown leads in morning and afternoon drive. The battle for No. 2, however, just got interesting. While The Ticket (No. 1 in the market) still dominates

• Dallas Cowboys' Training Camp: Success Over Circus

  ​No Terrell Owens. No Pacman Jones. No Michael Vick or Brett Favre or Michael Crabtree. No drama. To which I say ... Yes! Last summer the Dallas Cowboys broke camp fat 'n happy and consumed with personal agendas. After a successful training camp at San Antonio's Alamodome in which the focus was football over fireworks and even included a blessing by a Catholic priest (in light of Magic Johnson's pep talk failing last year in Oxnard), it's safe to say the 2009 version is leaner '

• Broncos 17, Cowgirls 10. My Top 10 Observations.

  ​10. Fox's Pam Oliver stinks. While she was busy reading some shallow, pre-orchestrated featurette, we went three series before learning that Gerald Sensabaugh was out with a bum thumb. And though Marion Barber played just one snap in the second half, we never received an update. 9. Not only is Kyle Orton not a good quarterback, he looks like Foo Fighters' lead singer Dave Grohl. 8. Think pink. I get it. Breast cancer is horrible and awareness is necessary. But with helmet stickers a

• So, Which Starter Can The Cowboys Most Afford to Lose?

  ​Dallas Cowboys' free safety Ken Hamlin missed practice yesterday with a strained left groin. Bad news? Or good news? To me, Hamlin is the weakest link among Dallas' 24 starters (including kickers). The drop-off from Hamlin to Patrick Watkins is smaller than from any other starter to any other backup. He doesn't make plays. He doesn't even make tackles. Much less interceptions. Given his three sacks and game-saving play in Philadelphia, you could make an argument for Victor Butler ta

• Rush to Judgment: Do your Dallas Cowboys Pass Too Much?

  ​Wade Phillips wants more balance. Jason Witten wants to get back to the "brand." Felix Jones and Tahsard Choice want more touches. You, the Dallas Cowboys fan, just want to win. I think Tony Romo is an elite quarterback and in the NFL you control the clock on the ground and you put points on the board through the air. I get that. But it's becoming apparent that offensive coordinator Jason Garrett makes me pass-happy sad. In last Sunday's loss in Green Bay, the Cowboys handed th
