Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Not, that is, if online fan voting is any indicator of things to come.
In NFL.com's online voting that ends Dec. 21, only one Dallas Cowboy leads his position - linebacker DeMarcus Ware.
Jay Ratliff, Tony Romo, Miles Austin and Jason Witten? Not among the top two of their respective spots. Only player in the top 2: Sam Hurd as a special teamer.
Ware deserves his accolades. Other than that ...
Romo will likely be the third quarterback behind Drew Brees and Brett Favre, but overall this early snubbing is a good thing.
Let's keep this between us. The Cowboys are 8-3 and the locker room - far as we can tell - is harmonious, lacking in divisive egos.
Ssssssh.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
