Terrell Owens is now a UFA which means unrestricted free agent. Anyone can pick him up for however much money he and his agent agree to.
He is an example of the joys of free agency which give hope to struggling teams looking to improve their team by going after experienced players for lucrative contracts.
According to Sports Illustrated, Cowboys wide receiver, Patrick Crayton, has stated that he would welcome the return of Terrell Owens should he come back to the Dallas Cowboys.
However, I don't think the Cowboys will go after Terrell due to a few reasons.
A: He's a year older and we don't know if he'll [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have been the center of criticism and unwarranted jabs for a long time.
That said, I can honestly state that this team is one of the best in the league, especially since it won its first playoff game in over a decade. It was a long time coming for us Dallas fans, and I treasure that moment up with the ones you would have on today's holiday of Valentines Day.
However, I was sitting with my close friend and the conversation included college majors, the artwork in our homes, old memories, and finally it drifted to sports.
And I heard something from [...]

We all knew it was coming.
Who in their right mind would think that Emmitt Smith, the all-time leading rusher in attempts (4,409), yards (18,355), and touchdowns (164), is not a Hall of Famer?
Nobody. Or else they wouldn't be in their right mind.
Emmitt Smith is the last of the 'Triplets' to be inducted after Troy Aikman was inducted in 2006 and Michael Irvin received his bust in 2007.
Emmitt cried after his name was announced and embraced the previously mentioned Michael Irvin.
With Emmitt Smith in the Hall of Fame, the Cowboys now have 10 players who spent a significantly large portion of their career as a Cowboys.
Granted, that number should be much, much higher, the fans of Dallas can rejoice another member being inducted into Canton.
Love ya [...]

Hall of Fame wide receiver, Michael Irvin, has been accused of forcible rape by a young woman at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in 2007, a month after he gave a moving speech at the Hall of Fame.
There are no criminal charges yet, but the woman is filing against him in civil court with a lawsuit. She will be known as the woman because her name has been kept confidential. Even the lawsuit states her as Jane Doe.
Irvin's lawyer, Larry Friedman scoffed at the charge calling it, "totally untrue."
In fact, he is stating that no kind of contact of any physical nature, consensual or forced, happened between the plantiff and Irvin.
I'm sorry, but I refuse to graphically state the alleged crime because I'm not sure how young my readers are.
But, to put it in plainly, she [...]

Charles Haley. Man, what can I say about this guy.
When you think of success, in terms of football, one of the first images that should pop into anyone's mind is Charles Haley. No player had more success than he did.
To be on five Super Bowl teams and have five Super Bowl rings is an accomplishment that no one has been able to match, and I doubt if anyone else will really.
The addition of free agency and salary caps have prevented dynasties from surviving in the NFL. "The teams that do stay intact, like the Patriots, are unusual," to paraphrase my idol, Paul Zimmerman.
Therefore, it is almost [...]

Before Jason Witten, the Dallas Cowboys had another go-to-guy at the tight end position named Jay Novacek. He had a vital role on the Cowboys team that won three Super Bowls in four years.
However, it is with a sad heart that I have to inform Dallas fans that Jay Novacek is now a widower. His wife, LeAnne, passed away earlier today on February 1, 2010.
The 45-year-old woman was found in one of the residential bedrooms. Suicide is one of many presumed causes for her death.
Jay Novacek has confirmed the passing, but is mum on whether or not it is suicide. He and his daughter are in my prayers as they should be in yours.
Here's to you Jay. The Big D is with you in [...]

Well, you can't win them all. As a person and fan, I've have to learn to accept that. Sometimes you don't win the big games.
This game the Cowboys lost while it is tragic they did, you can't win them all. There are some days where it would have been close, where Dallas would've won, where Minnesota would've won, where one is a blowout like today or a close one.
It comes down to who played the better game that day and that was Minnesota. This loss was painful, but Dallas wasn't horrible, Minnesota was just good.
If I may, I'd like to drift off for a second. Before I realized that [...]

When Jerry Jones originally traded for Roy Williams, everyone I corresponded with that knew anything about the Dallas Cowboys thought that Williams was going to be opposite Terrell Owens.
When Owens was released, I was shocked because not only did we let go of a guy who is a Hall of Fame receiver, but we now had Roy Williams as our number one target.
It made me very nervous to say the least because when you look at Roy Williams in a uniform, he reminds you of Owens and Hall of Fame Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin.
Tall man at about 6'4 and 210 lbs, long arms, broad shoulders, [...]

This has been the greatest moment of the new generation Cowboy fans. After constant losing seasons, coaching changes, quarterback changes, and the ten year sentence of watching the Philadelphia Eagles go to playoffs, a place that Dallas had, historically, called its common-law housewife. The Dallas Cowboys have won a playoff game and have defeated the Eagles for a spot in the divisional round against Minnesota next week.
The Dallas Cowboys, for the first time, have defeated a division rival three times in a year. It had never happened before, but the Dallas Cowboys ignored the history and wrote their own January 9, 2010 in Cowboys Stadium.
As a Dallas fan who can't even legally drink alcohol yet, I have to say this is the greatest moment in my life as a Cowboys fan.
The Dallas [...]

As the Dallas Cowboys prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild-Card playoff round, the fans of Dallas have received great news from the city of Canton, Ohio.
Two of the pivotal figures of the Cowboys dynasty in the 1990s are on the finalist list for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Charles Haley, a defensive end who accumulated 100.5 sacks and was a constant threat to offensive lineman, along with Emmitt Smith, the all-time leading rusher in NFL history with 18,355 yards are one step closer to having busts in the Pro Football Hall of Fame located in Canton, Ohio.
Without these two men, Dallas would not have won a Super Bowl let alone three of them.
The finalists will be discussed further by the voting committee and the results will be announced on February 6th, [...]
