Allen's Indoor Football Team Offers Tim Tebow Lucrative $225-Per-Game Contract

When the New York Jets pushed Tim Tebow overboard sans parachute earlier this week, the quarterback had no shortage of suitors.

Tony Romo's Top 5 Performances

​Jerry Jones said he was "outstanding" despite last week's loss to the Jets. Sunday afternoon in San Francisco the owner almost shed a tear in talking about the quarterback's gutsy performance in a 27-24 overtime victory over the 49ers. It's already been a controversial, mesmerizing, f ... More >>

Tony Romo Just Can't Help Himself

That's why he keeps on hurting himself and his team.

Injury Concerns Aside, Dez Bryant Needs to Return Kicks for the Cowboys

​Let's face it: If the Cowboys are going to be anything but mediocre in 2011, Dez Bryant has to be effective. And to be effective, he's first got to be healthy. Bryant caught three passes for 71 yards early against the Jets, then disappeared in the game's final 52 minutes. Cramps on a 70-deg ... More >>

Fine, You Wanna "Trade Tony Romo"! Um, For Whom, Exactly?

​In the wake of his infuriating, game-losing Texas two-stub Sunday night in New York, Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo is in the middle of a familiar tug-o'-war. In this corner: Supporters who claim he's an elite player who simply, spectacularly goofed up trying to aggressively make ... More >>

Jets 27, Cowboys 24: My Top 10 Observer-ations

Bigger Isn't Always Better in Texas. Right, Cowboys' Offensive Line? Should We Fear for Tony Romo's Health? Again?

​When Tony Romo was sacked by the Giants' Michael Boley last October 25 it broke his collar bone and effectively ended what was already a wobbly Cowboys' 2010 season. It was also, remember, the result of a missed blocking assignment by a rookie. Chris Gronkowski was part of Saturday's cuts b ... More >>

Cowboys Roster Cuts: What We're Left With

​In the final analysis the Cowboys kept nine rookies, four undrafted free agents, two kickers and zero fullbacks. If you saw that coming, raise your Labor Day hand. Didn't think so. We did foresee the departures of Igor Olshansky, Akwasi Owusu-Ansah and Montrae Holland, so not everythi ... More >>
