Disclaimer: Usually journalist and especially good journalist don’t usually use “I” in articles and recently I’ve been trying to improve on that and just stick with reporting. However I’ve decided to try a little experiment and create a new series of articles titled “In my opinion” which will include players, coaches and other aspects of the NFL an give my opinion on those topics. So articles titled “In my opinion” will be the only time I use “I” in an article, but when it comes to reporting on the Seahawks and the draft, “I” won’t be included. Just needed to clear that with this [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

On Sunday the Minnesota Vikings will welcome the Dallas Cowboys to the Metrodome to kick off their run at the Super Bowl. On paper the two teams match up very well, and it looks as though this should be the game of the weekend. As always, this game will come down to who can win the major categories of the game, offense, defense, and special teams.
Offense - Cowboys
I give the edge on the offensive side of the ball to the Cowboys, who have been on a roll the past couple of weeks. Tony Romo has the most talent of any quarterback in the NFL, and over the past couple of weeks it looks as though he has finally reached his immense talent. On top of that, Felix Jones has become the most explosive back in the playoffs, surpassing Adrian Peterson. Which brings me to my final reason why I chose [...]

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 [...]

First, I want to apologize for my leave of absence. I've no reasonable excuse to explain why I have not written except a combination of holidays, homework, laziness, and writer's block.
Thankfully though, I have found my muse and I'm ready to write and see Dallas go to playoffs. It has been as tough a year as it has been magical.
The tough part is losses to the Giants, the Broncos, the Packers, and the Chargers, but still to finish this season with back to back shutouts against division rivals is remarkable.
The Redskins win was one that redeemed us for our horrid win of 7-6 last time. Even though Al [...]

It couldn't happen. It shouldn't happen. How could it happen? The Saints were 13-0, their offense was tremendously dominant, the defense had significantly improved. The last two opponents of their schedule would be the Yucs, excuse me, Bucs and the Panthers.
All they had to do was knock off Big D at home. And they lost. THEY LOST!
If I sound like I'm yelling, I am. My voice is gone from the shouts of joy coming from the depths of my belly to the rooftops of my neighborhood.
Sometimes I wonder if I am writer or a member of the team because I feel an enormous weight off of my back.
The Cowboys were not supposed to win. It is DECEMBER! Their worst month! How is it they won???
I'll tell you how. Because no matter what I say or what my colleagues say in their articles about game [...]

Despite the fact that the title of the article could receive a, "NO DUH!" response, that does take away to its truth.
Miles Austin is the explosive wide receiver that Terrell Owens was, except he doesn't drop any easy passes, and actually doesn't talk to the media. He was a free agent pickup from Monmouth College that sat behind on the bench and learned from the best on how to be the best.
He learned well. In just seven starts, he has 824 yards receiving with eight touchdowns. Those are the statistics of a truly elite receiver in the NFL.
Granted, it is only his first [...]

The Redskins and Cowboys have feuded with each other just like the real settlers and indians of the 1800s.
Also, like their predecessors, they have been strong and have won major victories. The Redskins have three Super Bowls to go along with their two NFL Championships and Dallas' five Super Bowls.
However, to my great delight *wink wink*, the Redskins have struggled greatly due to an owner who makes Al Davis look not half bad and a general manager that neglects key positions along the team.
The Redskins have had a repugnant offense this season. Before the Cowboys game, they had 140 points over nine games. That's [...]
