Jerry Jones' Promises of Change Have Been Mostly Empty So Far

Doesn't seem that the Dallas Cowboys have learned their lesson or changed one smidge

Camp Cowboys Top 10 Observations: Day 7

  Well, you are ready for some aren't you?​10. Cult hero/roster longshot Jesse Holley had his highlight of camp, catching a slant in front of Orlando Scandrick during team drills. There. You happy? 9. Weird - unusually intense - afternoon practice here at The Alamodome. When' ... More >>

Only Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Could Build A Palace Big Enough To Match His Larger-Than-Life Persona

  Well, you are ready for some aren't you?​10. Cult hero/roster longshot Jesse Holley had his highlight of camp, catching a slant in front of Orlando Scandrick during team drills. There. You happy? 9. Weird - unusually intense - afternoon practice here at The Alamodome. When' ... More >>

One Year Later: The Cowboys Overpaid for Roy Williams. Duh.

​Seems strange timing to bemoan the Dallas Cowboys' receiving corps in the wake of Miles Austin's record-setting day, but let's face it - the trade for Roy Williams a year ago has been a gigantic flop. My first reaction to news that the Cowboys had acquired Williams and a 7th-r ... More >>

Roy or Romo: Who's At Fault Here?

​Roy Williams is the Dallas Cowboys' third-highest paid player. And their fourth-leading receiver. So I ask you, what the hell is going on here? It may sound like nitpicking on a team that's won three in a row heading into Sunday night's showdown against the Eagles, but to win in Philly ... More >>

Roy Williams >, < or = Terrell Owens?

Uh-oh. Get me re-write!​It was just one week ago that - despite his mediocre production - I was publicly defending Dallas Cowboys' receiver Roy Williams. My reasoning? He was a better teammate than the dearly departed Terrell Owens. "A stand-up guy," I wrote. "Good character." Eff ... More >>

Wowboys 20, Beagles 16: My Top 10 Observations

Even Philly fans liked Dallas last night.​10. Lots of heroes Sunday night in Philly, but the biggest - smallest - play was made by rookie linebacker Victor Butler. With the Eagles down 7 and facing third-and-10 from Dallas' 33, Donovan McNabb scrambled right into what seemed to be an open f ... More >>

Wowboys 7, Deadskins 6: My Top 10 Observations

Back atcha, punk.​10. Fine, I'll say it: Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is too quick to abandon the pass. I'll say it, of course, with tongue firmly planted in cheek. After only 11 handoffs to running backs in Green Bay, Dallas was committed to the running game today. The good: 33 ... More >>

Roy Williams Crowns Saints, Then Guarantees Cowboys Will Beat Them. What?

​I'm starting to think Dallas Cowboys' receiver Roy Williams is just kind of kooky. The Hook 'em Horns sign after rare touchdowns. The game-day Michael Jackson outfits. The, um, contradictory quotes. Williams was at his nonsensical best yesterday at Valley Ranch, telling reporters i ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys Coach Wade Phillips Gets A New Lease On Life Even After The Team's Humiliating Loss To The Vikings

​I'm starting to think Dallas Cowboys' receiver Roy Williams is just kind of kooky. The Hook 'em Horns sign after rare touchdowns. The game-day Michael Jackson outfits. The, um, contradictory quotes. Williams was at his nonsensical best yesterday at Valley Ranch, telling reporters i ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys Receiver Roy Williams, After A Dismal Season Of Drops And Disappearances, Is On The Verge Of Being A Big-Time Bust.

​I'm starting to think Dallas Cowboys' receiver Roy Williams is just kind of kooky. The Hook 'em Horns sign after rare touchdowns. The game-day Michael Jackson outfits. The, um, contradictory quotes. Williams was at his nonsensical best yesterday at Valley Ranch, telling reporters i ... More >>

With Dez Bryant, The Dallas Cowboys Catch A Break In The NFL Draft And Inch Closer To The Super Bowl

​I'm starting to think Dallas Cowboys' receiver Roy Williams is just kind of kooky. The Hook 'em Horns sign after rare touchdowns. The game-day Michael Jackson outfits. The, um, contradictory quotes. Williams was at his nonsensical best yesterday at Valley Ranch, telling reporters i ... More >>

Roy Williams to Dez Bryant: Bring It On! Or Something To That Effect.

Sorry Roy, it's not if. Only when.​Let's face it, Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams pops off like a No. 1 but produces like a No. 3. Latest example: Asked yesterday at the team's golf outing at Cowboys Golf Club about incoming rookie receiver Dez Bryant, Williams was defiant, if not in t ... More >>

Dez Bryant's Injury Makes Karma Happy and Jerry Jones Mad

​Was it, as Roy Williams denies, karma? Or was it, as Jerry Jones suggests, Wade Phillips' fault? Either way, the ankle injury suffered here in San Antonio Friday afternoon by rookie receiver Dez Bryant has yanked the momentum of Dallas Cowboys' training camp to a screeching halt. S ... More >>

Cowboys Training Camp 8.2.10: My Top 10 Observations

David "Ferris" Buehler​10. Dez Bryant, wearing a walking boot on his sprained right ankle, made several nice plays in Monday's only workout. But he wasn't on the receiving end, but rather the passing end. Bryant threw left-handed passes to receivers, who in a seemingly lazy drill attempted ... More >>

Cowboys Training Camp 8.3.10: My Top 10 Observations

​10. Regarding Brett Favre's latest, but certainly not last retirement, I think Cowboys' linebacker Bradie James put it best: "Don't care." 9. Tip for autograph seekers at The Alamodome: Get a roster. When Jason Hatcher walks off the field toward the tunnel, "Hey, 97!" isn't going to steer hi ... More >>

Cowboys 16, Bengals 7: My Top 10 Observations

​10. Man, what a letdown. You spend all weekend talking about and listening to and watching highlights of Emmitt Smith and Super Bowls and football immortals. Then they kick off the Hall of Fame game and you get Cowboys 16, Bengals 7. It's like going to the theater and being titillated b ... More >>

Cowboys 16, Chargers 14: My Top 10 Observations

​10. I'm out of excuses/reasons/explanations. Any theories as to why - still - quarterback Tony Romo and receiver Roy Williams don't seem to be on the same page? Sometimes it's Romo overthrowing him and sometimes it's Williams falling down. Whatever, they just don't click. 9. Of all the lineb ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys 53-Man Roster Projection: 8.23.10

​The Cowboys are 2-1 in the preseason. They've suffered numerous injuries but only one serious (tight end John Phillips). The defense has been at times dominating. The offense has been sporadic at best. Kickers Mat McBriar and David Buehler look reliable. Add it all up and - with meanin ... More >>

Texans 23, Cowboys 7: My Top 10 Observations

​10. Cowboys' punter Mat McBriar kicked four times Saturday. He launched a 61-yarder in the third quarter, had a net average of 50.8 and pinned Houston inside the 20 twice. So much for the good news. 9. I understand this was a practice game. An exhibition. A glorified scrimmage.&nbs ... More >>

Rookie Receiver Dez Bryant Has The Talent To Take The Cowboys To The Championship. But Does He Also Possess The Temperament To Push Them Into Chaos?

​10. Cowboys' punter Mat McBriar kicked four times Saturday. He launched a 61-yarder in the third quarter, had a net average of 50.8 and pinned Houston inside the 20 twice. So much for the good news. 9. I understand this was a practice game. An exhibition. A glorified scrimmage.&nbs ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys 2010: Let's Make Some Moolah

​I got some thoughts on the Cowboys this season. And I'm willing to put some mythical money where my piehole is. Over at Bodog.com they've got up their propositions for the 2010 season. Let's cut-and-save and maybe I'll share the wealth come February 2011. Team Odds to win the 2011 Super Bow ... More >>

Redskins 13, Cowboys 7: My Top 10 Observations

​10. Cruel. The Cowboys fans in my house erupted in ecstasy as Roy Williams caught what appeared to be the game-winning touchdown, only to seconds later be stabbed in the heart by agony in the form of Alex Barron's game-ending holding penalty. Cruel, but fair. Lots of crap to talk about with ... More >>

Whom to Blame for Oh and Two?

​Call me crazier than bat guano, but I actually think the Dallas Cowboys will be fine ... fine ... fine ... fine ... fine ... fine. Damn, all the sudden it's lonely in here. At 0-2 and an underdog on the road this week in Houston against the undefeated Texans, things don't look too swel ... More >>

Dallas Cowboy Fans: Be patient. Your winless team is about to come to life.

​Call me crazier than bat guano, but I actually think the Dallas Cowboys will be fine ... fine ... fine ... fine ... fine ... fine. Damn, all the sudden it's lonely in here. At 0-2 and an underdog on the road this week in Houston against the undefeated Texans, things don't look too swel ... More >>

Cowboys 27, Texans 13: My Top 10 Observations

​10. Oh ye of little faith. If you listened to me or read me last week I toldja this was coming. Negate some penalties, some missed field goals and some turnovers - tweak things - and the Cowboys would be fine. Way I remember it, I called for more Dez Bryant (check), more blitzing (check) and ... More >>

It Cost Dez Bryant HOW MUCH Not To Be Roy Williams' Bitch?

​When he defiantly refused to carry veteran receiver Roy Williams' shoulder pads after a training- camp practice in San Antonio, Dallas Cowboys' rookie Dez Bryant got lots of support. "Hazing is wrong!" some said. "He's a football player, not an equipment manager," others offered. "Dez i ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys' 2009 Draft Class = The Really Dirty Dozen

​At the time - April 30, 2009 - I called the Dallas Cowboys' draft class of 2009 a "dirty dozen." And, no, it was a compliment. Fast-forward to today and, unfortunately, it's uglier than ever. Making room on the roster for a tight end in light of another injury to another tight end (Martellus ... More >>

Vikings 24, Cowboys 21: My Top 10 Observations

​10. Bad as this looks - and 1-4 is bad - the season isn't over. I know history says they have a 95 percent chance of missing the playoffs, but no one in the NFC is worth a damn. A 10-win season and, yes, a division championship is still possible. And much as he might deserve it, he ... More >>

Jaguars 35, Cowboys 17: My Top 10 Observer-ations

​10. All you Tony Romo haters, how'd that feel? You wanted life without the so-called "celebrity golfer," you got it. By the way Jon Kitna, perfectly thrown passes tipped into interceptions suck huh? 9. David Garrard is a very mediocre quarterback. The Cowboys made him look like Johnny Unita ... More >>

Whom Do You Blame for the Cowboys' Catastrophe?

​We now return to your regularly scheduled football season where ... Oh, dear. If you saw this coming - the Dallas Cowboys at 1-6 - raise your hand. I'm impressed. I'll also, of course, need proof. Some of us thought the Cowboys would play in Super Bowl XLV. Most of us thought they'd win the ... More >>

If I Was Jason Garrett ...

​The new/interim head coach of the Dallas Cowboys made some changes on his first day in charge at Valley Ranch. Mostly, players were met by this message -- in all caps, and in red -- on the daily grease board when they arrived: FULL PADS. "I was like 'Whoa'," says lineback ... More >>

The Roy Williams Trade: Cowboys > Lions?

​On Tuesday, October 14, 2008, the Dallas Cowboys traded for receiver Roy Williams. In exchange, they sent to the Detroit Lions a first- third- and sixth-round draft pick in 2009. Matching him with Terrell Owens, the move was supposed to give the Cowboys yet another elite weapon en route ... More >>

Saints 30, Cowboys 27: My Top 10 Observer-ations

​10. The end of the modest two-game winning streak also means the end of the disappointing season. At 3-8 the Cowboys are officially dead. Tony Romo should be put on injured reserve today. 9. Down 20-3 there was no way the Cowboys were going to win. Then up 27-23 with Roy Williams headed towa ... More >>

Eagles 30, Cowboys 27: My Top 10 Observer-ations

​10. DeSean Jackson is fun to watch, and so easy to hate. After his 91-yard catch-and-run touchdown he stopped at the 1 and slowly fell backward into the end zone. Where's George Teague when you need him? 9. At 4-9 the Cowboys are officially losers (for the first time since '04) and  ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys: The Defense Rests

​A proud franchise that once upon a time won Super Bowls behind a Doomsday Defense is these days shackled to the most disappointing season in team history by a defense that is simply doomed. Back in training camp down in The Alamodome in San Antonio, head coach Wade Phillips trumpeted&nb ... More >>

Same Crap, Different Coach: Jason Garrett Not the Answer as Cowboys Lose Winnable Game to Struggling Cards 27-26 and Fall to 5-10

Miles Austin caught six balls for 115 yards and a TD, but his slip-up turned into a defensive TD, and his post-game antics were embarrassing. ​If there ever was an easy win to be had this year for the Dallas Cowboys, last night's Christmas match-up with the Arizona Cardinals was it. Universi ... More >>

Accountability, Shame and Wealth: A Review of My 2010 NFL Predictions

​You can say I botched my 2010 NFL prognostications. But you can't say I ran and hid from my errors. There's hope for me surviving this thing, as I have Big Ten Buffoonery dough coming in, tonight's Megamillions jackpot is up to $330 million and I actually sneaked by with a profit b ... More >>

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can get more out of new head coach Jason Garrett by being less controlling. But is that possible?

​You can say I botched my 2010 NFL prognostications. But you can't say I ran and hid from my errors. There's hope for me surviving this thing, as I have Big Ten Buffoonery dough coming in, tonight's Megamillions jackpot is up to $330 million and I actually sneaked by with a profit b ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys' Draft Needs: How About a Safe(ty) Pick

​Enough of this asinine stuff about "best player available." What if, somehow, at No. 9 in April's NFL Draft that player happens to be a tight end? A weakside linebacker? A punter? Or, God and Tim Cowlishaw forbid, a quarterback? Under that premise, the Cowboys - 6-10 and desperate for help ... More >>

Jerry Jones, in the wake of his 6-10 season and a disastrous Super Bowl, is officially humbled.

​Enough of this asinine stuff about "best player available." What if, somehow, at No. 9 in April's NFL Draft that player happens to be a tight end? A weakside linebacker? A punter? Or, God and Tim Cowlishaw forbid, a quarterback? Under that premise, the Cowboys - 6-10 and desperate for help ... More >>

Dez Bryant Stands Up New Jersey Memorablia Show

Whitt's End: 7.29.11

​Whether you've reached the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *I know one practice doesn't make a career and, as Bill Parcells says, let's hold off on shipping that bust to Canton, but Cowboys' first-round draft pick Tyron Smith looks like a beast ... More >>

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

​10. Tony Romo negated some great throws -- you'll never see a prettier pass than the 64-yarder to Jason Witten -- with some bone-headed plays. His interception to Darrelle Revis should've never been thrown and how was everyone except the quarterback ready for the snap with :08 ... More >>

Tony Romo Just Can't Help Himself

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