  Not Tony Romo’s best day. But better than Brad Johnson. By a mile. Okay, I’ve got a long-distance, work-related field trip today so let’s get to it. Just for fun, let’s reveal ‘em in reverse order. Extrapolates the drama and all. Where you guys think Graham Harrell and Sam Bradford would fall on this list? 32. JaMarcus Russell – Raiders 31. Marc Bulger – Rams 30. Matt Hassellbeck -- Seahawks 29. Tyler Thigpen – Chiefs 28. Sage Rosenfels – Texans 27.

  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

  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

  Actually, this question came to us as your basic "who will win the Super Bowl" sort of thing, presumably hoping for some insight from our crew's most recent has-been athlete.

• 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

• Dallas Cowboys' Draft Class: D-Minus

  What the eff? Oh, okay, I'm in a good mood. How about a D-ish?​When the Dallas Cowboys kick off the regular season in Tampa Bay in T-minus 12 days, their rookies will be all but invisible. The Cowboys drafted 12 players. Three of those - kicker David Buehler, linebacker Victor Butler and tight end John Phillips - will be on the field against the Buccaneers. Yikes. Most of us saw this coming back in April. When you trade down, trade down and trade down some more, you sacrifice

  ​See that? Over there. To your right? That's not the money you could be saving with GEICO. It's the money you lost last year betting with Richie Whitt. But, alas, in the spirit of persistence, stubborness and doubling down, we're back at it again in 2009. I owe it to you and myself (and my bookie) to be bigger, bolder and, yes, better than a putrid 7-10 this season. Let's kick-off the year with an aggressive play on a conservative game. Your Dallas Cowboys start '09 missing Terrell O

  ​10. I admit, I had doubts when the Cowboys drafted a kicker in the 5th round back in April. But after one game and three touchbacks by kickoff specialist David Buehler, it looks genius. 9. Dear Raheem Morris: You are not a player. Please stay off the field. 8. Combining Thanksgiving '06 and today, in his last two starts against Tampa Bay Tony Romo has produced 659 passing yards and eight touchdowns. 7. Don't know about you, but I'm very happy that next Sunday night against the Giants

One hails from a major college and is known as calm and cool in the pocket, wise beyond his years; the other an underdog free agent known as one of the most creative ad-libbers in football.

  AP Not a one-hit wonder after all.​10. Linebacker Keith Brooking's performance and passion is refreshing. The way he was running past and taunting Atlanta's bench and his old Falcons' teammates after big plays today, he's quickly become the Cowboys' version of Brian Dawkins. All great teams have one. 9. A 16-point blowout of a quality opponent is nice. But you can't discount the fact that the Cowboys had a big advantage coming off their bye week. They are now 16-5 all-time off the
