Roy Williams

Dallas County Constables, Commissioners Court Agree to End Federal Lawsuit. At Least For Now.

​Noticed on PACER this morning something that's gone unnoticed since its filing at the end of last week: That heated lawsuit pitting Dallas County constables against the Dallas County Commissioners Court -- the one involving allegations of retaliation and corruption, the one that dragged everyone ...

Before This Morning's Constables Hearing in Federal Court, Let's Review the Filings

​Today's The Big Day (well, all right, a big day) for Dallas County Constables Ben Adamcik, Beth Villareal and Roy Williams and many of the deputy constables who say Dallas County is eliminating their jobs because some of them blew the whistle on Dallas County Precinct 1 Constable Derick Evans and ...

Back in the Death Star

Marvin Crenshaw, Dwaine Caraway and Sandra Crenshaw on the Fate of Dallas's Black Districts

Anna's gotten to know the city awfully well in a very short amount of time -- that's what sitting through every single redistricting meeting will do to and for you. And she was there for four hours last night, even though she's got a cover story due, like, now. And she'll be there all d ... More >>

And with the 9th Overall Pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Cowboys Select ...

​As much as we'd all like to hear it, NFL commish Roger Goodell isn't going to finish that sentence with "Patrick Peterson. Cornerback. LSU."That's because Peterson will likely be taken in the top seven picks of Thursday night's NFL Draft, and Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said yes ... More >>

Dez Bryant Intent on Keeping It Real: The Latest Installment(s) in a Continuing Series

Dez Bryant's customized pendant, part of the stuff he allegedly hasn't paid for​Lying to the NCAA while at Oklahoma State. Bucking NFL tradition and not carrying Roy Williams' shoulder pads. Blaming the media. Cutting in line at The Apple Store. Being, according to Dallas police, invol ... More >>

Whitt's End: 11.5.10

  Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Roy Williams can hyperbolize(?) about winning nine consecutive games all he wants, but the only drama left in the Dallas Cowboys' failed season is not if - but when - head coach Wade Phillips ...

Camp Cowboy: Early Observations From Afar

​I'll be down in San Antonio for Dallas Cowboys' training camp next week. For now, I'm making calls. Talking to spies. Trying to get the skinny by chewing the fat. Some thoughts: New offensive tackle Alex Barron is better than expected. And Doug Free has struggled with his quickness at l ... More >>

It's June, and Miles Austin Still Isn't Signed as a Long-Term Dallas Cowboy

​While we rate and debate Roy Williams vs. Dez Bryant, the uncertainty about Miles Austin as the Dallas Cowboys' No. 1 receiver is starting to linger into concern. Today's deadline will pass with Austin not having signed the team's tender offer and still being a restricted free agent, meaning ... More >>

Welcome to the Day After March 31

​*Ron Washington's first and only experience with cocaine came at age 57? Of course I believe him. Why wouldn't I? *Okay, I admit it.

Do You Believe in Miles Austin?

​Roy Williams was supposed to be the Dallas Cowboys' No. 1 receiver. But he sucks. So, despite not starting the first four games last year, Miles Austin ascended into the role and had a breakout season: 81 catches for 1,320 yards and 11 touchdowns. Tony Romo obviously trusts him. The Cow ... More >>

Terrell Owens Coming Back to Dallas!

​Don't freak out. T.O.'s visit here in a couple weeks isn't to replace Roy Williams as a Dallas Cowboys' receiver, but rather to inject his unqiue persona into NBA All-Star Weekend. Owens, a two-time Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Celebrity Game, will be back to further embarrass the wa ... More >>

2009 Cowboys in Review: My 10 Fave Plays

​I'm generally considered a pissy guy with a half-glass-empty view of the world around attacking me. But there are times when I can be joyfully hopeful. The Cowboys' season ended with a resounding 34-3 thud, but there were plenty of warm-n-fuzzy moments to keep us both satisfied about '09 and ... More >>

Vikings 34, Cowgirls 3: My Top 10 Observations

​10. Does this feel like 1991 to anyone else? An empowering playoff win, followed by an embarrassing blowout playoff road loss, leading to disappointment but not necessarily discouragement? That year it was Detroit, 38-6. This year it is Minnesota, 34-3. In '92 the Cowboys won the Super ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones finally gets a playoff win but his sights are set on bigger things.

Cowboys-Eagles III: Lingering Questions

What looks worse? The Cardinals' red or the 7-9 prediction? ​As I said last week on 105.3 The Fan, the winner of Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles II would be the favorite entering the NFC Playoffs. No reason to alter that after Dallas' dominating 24-0 victory. The Cowboys have a hot ... More >>

Giants 31, Decemberboys 24: My Top 10 Observations

​10. This, my friends, is exactly why I wouldn't have Wade Phillips back as my head coach next season or any season. Simply put, he's just too soft. Nick Folk misses a field goal in three straight games and Wade just shrugs and says "I ain't worried." Says he won't even begin to consider Davi ... More >>

Jimmy Johnson: Screw Your Thanksgiving!

​Well, the former Dallas Cowboys head coach and current Fox NFL analyst didn't say exactly that this morning with Newy Scruggs and me on 105.3 The Fan. But he did - once and for all, 12th verse - emphatically deny that he'd ever consider returning to the Cowboys. "No, I love what I'm do ... More >>

A View to a Kill: Sportatorium Spy Goes to Lambeau

​Sportatorium lifetime member Scott can be a dork. His "Roy Williams ... this or that" rants are as legendary as they are ludicrous. But every once in a while he delivers. Like Sunday, when he was at Lambeau Field in Green Bay and snapped some pics of the Cowboys' carnage. Props to you Scott. ... More >>

Peter King: Tony Romo is Good; The Cowboys are Better

​Talked with a guy I really respect this morning. Peter King has been watching and writing about NFL football for years and years.

​Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Haven't received a return call all week from Greg Williams, which is weird if not troubling.

Bang For Your Buck? The Worst Contracts in the History of Dallas/Fort Worth That I Can Think Off the Top of My Head.

​Jerry Jones signing DeMarcus Ware to a 6-year, $78 million contract is probably going to pay off in the long room. Ware is a good person, a great player and - barring something terribly unforeseen - a decent bargain. One thing Jerry's proven over his tenure is that he isn't afraid to ov ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys: Witten's Whereabouts?

​Jason Witten will never say it, so I'll do it for him: Gimme the damn ball! Especially in the red zone!! I generally support Dallas Cowboys' offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, but this is getting ridiculous. When the red-head calls plays in the red zone it makes Cowboys' fans red-fac ... More >>

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 ... More >>

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 (Ter ... More >>

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 own ...

Dallas Cowboys: Three Dots and a Cloud of Dust

Quick takes from a Wednesday's minicamp workout at Carrollton's Standridge Stadium: *Tony Romo says the story that appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about him being told to lose weight is total bullshit. "That never happened," Romo said with a smile. "It just didn't." ... *From what I co ... More >>

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.
