However, players across the league continue to flail at times when their is hardly a foul. Perhaps the most annoying part of a game, referees are forced to make a [...]
The most exciting aspect of fantasy baseball is obviously home runs. There is nothing better than hearing the crack of the bat and seeing a ball go sailing over the fence. However, seeing a speedy player dash the 90 feet from first to second in an attempt to steal the base has to be the [...]

The Dallas Cowboys defense is off to a great start statistically, ranking No. 1 in the NFL . While at this point in the season, that ranking is nothing but window dressing, it’s a great sign the unit may have turned the corner under defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. The way the offense is sputtering, the Cowboy defense may need [...]
No one’s ever questioned the integrity and toughness of Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten.

The NFL replacement refs who officiated Monday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks have stimulated an amount of foaming-at-the-mouth vitriol that I have never witnessed before. People are out for blood, saying the integrity of the game has been completely eroded. But the league may be putting something even more important than [...]
There’s a saying golf that goes, “it doesn’t matter how, but how many.” You could say something similar when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys‘ 16-10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 of the NFL season. Something along the lines of, “it doesn’t matter if it’s pretty, as long as it’s a [...]

This was a big, big deal [...]
So, are the Dallas Cowboys as good as they looked in beating the New York Giants to open the NFL season, or are they as bad as they looked against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2? The answer is, “somewhere in the middle,” just like most of the other 19 teams that are 1-1 after two [...]
Just what was that, exactly? I’ve been a Dallas Cowboys fan since the early 1970s, so I’ve seen it all when it comes to this team.
