Cowboys: Viva La Vida

We used to rule the world, but these days it's just as easy to pity the Cowboys as it is to hate us.

America's Team... of arrogance

Everything is bigger in Texas, except the Cowboys trophy over the last 13 years.

By Dan Levy | November 20, 2009; 10:59 AM ET | Comments (5)

Like Yanks, Cowboys under microscope

Most fans loathe the Cowboys, and will do anything they can to bad-mouth them. Is it fair? Not really.

Cowboys bandwagon pathetic

The legions of soulless, bandwagon Cowboys fans, scattered across America, make Dallas that much more repugnant.

By Jason Brewer | November 20, 2009; 09:22 AM ET | Comments (3)

Keep Dallas in Dallas

I don't have a problem with Cowboys fans from Texas, it's the locals -- the ones who want nothing more than to spoil the home team's party.

By Dave Goldberg | November 20, 2009; 06:57 AM ET | Comments (4)

Cowboys fans suck

My hatred of the Cowboys is less about the team and more about having to deal with the obnoxious fan base.

UnAmerica's Team

Why do Redskins fans hate the Cowboys? Let us count the ways.

What's the root of Cowboys hatred?

Why are the Dallas Cowboys the most hated franchise in sports? Weigh in here...

Don't count on Cards

The only team currently leading their division played in last season's Super Bowl and, coincidentally, is the only team that won't play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

By Jamie De Giorgio | November 4, 2009; 03:14 PM ET | Comments (0)

No one safe but Saints, Colts, Vikes

The two divisional leaders I have the least faith in at this point are in the West -- NFC West's Arizona and AFC West's Denver.

Middle Class Still Rules

Just give it some time, and the class system will sort itself out.

NFL Cap and Switch

Young, impotent coaches and a non-meritocratic salary cap are pushing NFL parity towards oblivion.

It's All About the Benjamins

Billion dollar stadiums. One-hundred million dollar contracts. Million dollar endorsement deals. You see a pattern here?

By Gene Wang | September 5, 2009; 10:00 AM ET | Comments (2)

Fans Are Addicts

NFL fan will always be there to line the pockets and increase the bottom line of the NFL owners.

Raise the Roof

Jerry wouldn't move the toilet paper dispenser from one side of the handicapped stall to the other without a king-sized Texas tussle.

By Josh Zerkle | August 26, 2009; 11:46 AM ET | Comments (1)

A Modest Proposal

For the man that always wants to hold people accountable, Roger Goodell has seemingly got himself and the NFL into a pickle.

By Neil Jacobs | August 26, 2009; 11:25 AM ET | Comments (5)

Who Will Blink? U2

Jerry Jones is a lot of things, but he ain't stupid... especially when it comes to money.

By Dan Levy | August 26, 2009; 11:14 AM ET | Comments (1)

God Is Watching, Goodell

He's already mad as hell about DirectTV... you don't like it, you take it up with Him.

By Adam Hoff | August 26, 2009; 10:24 AM ET | Comments (1)

Mr. Jones, Pull Up This Wall

The scoreboard exists to provide a better view of the game, not to affect it.

By Rafael Vela | August 26, 2009; 07:58 AM ET | Comments (6)

In Dallas Size Matters

If I'm a receiver in Dallas, I'm running sideline routes all day just to stay out from under that thing.

By Michael Kun | August 26, 2009; 07:29 AM ET | Comments (4)

Don't Kick Jones

Asking Jones to pay to fix a part of the stadium that conforms to league rules would be tantamount to asking a consumer to pay for faulty brakes approved by auto inspectors.

By Gene Wang | August 26, 2009; 06:44 AM ET | Comments (4)

Get Over It Goodell

Forcing Jones to shell out more cash because, although the scoreboard meets the league rules it isn't to the commish's liking, wouldn't go over well.

By Joe Baker | August 26, 2009; 06:36 AM ET | Comments (2)

Bono to Fix Scoreboard?

The Cowboys have to move the scoreboard higher up anyway to make way for musical rock band U2's performance in October.

Alive and Well, Obscure

If any runner has a 100-yard day, week one, fans in his city will declare him the feature back.

Don't Mess With Big Blue

Forget all this Eagles hype, the New York Giants have the best roster in the NFC.

The Bennetts' Brand Takes a Dive

YouTube has its power - use it wisely - before diminishing a valued brand with a walk down memory lane in the cotton fields.

Integrate the Black Olympics!

The fact that only African Americans were invited to compete in the "Black Olympics" makes me want to puke.

By Emil Steiner | July 16, 2009; 12:58 PM ET | Comments (0)

Awareness Fail

If you want to do racial humor, you have to be very skilled, and you have to know EXACTLY where the line is

By Doug Farrar | July 16, 2009; 10:24 AM ET | Comments (1)

First Rule of Funny. Be Funny.

There wasn't anything remotely offensive in "Black Olympics" other than the complete lack of comedy.

By Dan Levy | July 16, 2009; 09:29 AM ET | Comments (1)

Just Not Funny

If you want a pass on edgy humor, you have to be funny. The "Black Olympics" video isn't humor or satire, it's crap.

By Gene Weingarten | July 16, 2009; 07:41 AM ET | Comments (6)

Ignorance Personified

No African-American with a functioning cerebrum would ever purposely compose such a self-degrading, self-hating piece of tripe and then present it to the world.

By Mike Freeman | July 16, 2009; 07:25 AM ET | Comments (35)

Chinese Olympics

Let's say I did a similar video with Timmy Chang that had chow mein eating, a math-off and dry cleaning, and we called it the Chinese Olympics. Would that be offensive to anyone?

Wasted Money Is Funny, But Not When It's Ours

Nelly Knows Best

When I am faced with life's most difficult questions I turn to respected thought leaders who really put things in perspective.

Win, Earn or Both?

It's important to appreciate that not all owners are obsessed with winning; some are more concerned with making money year over year.

By David Carter | July 3, 2009; 11:13 AM ET | Comments (0)

Winning Starts at Home

Team cohesiveness, solid quarterback play and a stingy defense in December and January aren't based on who owners sign in March.

Gotta Spend (Smart) to Win

Teams that don't spend money on talent invariably will not win in the NFL, but it's up to fans to complain.

Can't Buy a Championship

In the NFL, it's not the payroll size, but how you use it.

More Money Wins

Money can be spent well and spent poorly, but ultimately more money is always better.

By John Morgan | July 3, 2009; 08:12 AM ET | Comments (0)

Offseason Champions

Free spending can't be considered a strategy for winning; instead it must be looked at as a supplement in a larger plan.

By Paul Tenorio | July 3, 2009; 07:57 AM ET | Comments (0)

A Losing Formula

Years of capricious and irresponsible spending are taking their toll, and based on last season's debacle, it doesn't look as if Dallas will extricate itself anytime soon.

By Gene Wang | July 3, 2009; 07:52 AM ET | Comments (0)

Look Out for Buffalo

Right now the Bills should be comforted with the knowledge Owens has made the playoffs with each of his three previous teams and they could be the fourth.

By Gene Wang | May 29, 2009; 08:44 AM ET | Comments (3)

Dont' Forget About JJ

Jimmy Johnson was the brains behind perhaps the greatest turnaround in NFL history, and that's why he's the most coveted retired coach.

By Gene Wang | May 13, 2009; 11:40 AM ET | Comments (1)

Shanahan in Demand

With Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder hot on his trail, Mike Shanahan will get the highest bid.

By Les Carpenter | May 13, 2009; 08:29 AM ET | Comments (0)

Romo's On the Hook

With a new stadium, a non-stop reality show around him at all times the quarterback with the heaviest weight to carry is Tony Romo.

By Doug Farrar | May 7, 2009; 12:24 PM ET | Comments (1)

No More Excuses, Romo

Tony Romo better take Dallas deep into the playoffs or risk getting stamped the A-Rod of football.

By Gene Wang | May 7, 2009; 12:00 PM ET | Comments (1)

Cowboys, Panthers

The schedule makers may have sealed the fate of Wade Phillips even prior to the season starting.

By Peter Schaffer | April 15, 2009; 10:50 AM ET | Comments (0)

Dumb Enough to Work

For Buffalo it makes perfect sense. As for T.O., the move makes very little sense.

By Dan Levy | March 8, 2009; 08:41 AM ET | Comments (0)

T.O. to the Rescue

Thanks to the aggressive move of signing Terrell Owens, the Buffalo Bills have become a factor again after years of irrelevance.

By Gene Wang | March 7, 2009; 11:06 PM ET | Comments (0)

Smart Move, Bills

There's a pattern here -- T.O. is a great first date and a rotten partner.

By Doug Farrar | March 7, 2009; 10:37 PM ET | Comments (0)

Bills Sign Declining Star

The numbers indicate he's just another receiver now

Help, Hype, Hurt?

How will Terrell Owens effect the Buffalo Bills? You decide...

When Personality Trumps Performance

A little narcissism can be okay, but too much "me, me, me" leaves little room for others.

T.O.'s Longest Yard

Terrell Owens has no one but himself to blame for his current predicament.

By David Aldridge | March 6, 2009; 09:35 AM ET | Comments (4)

Terrell Owens To DC

Don't believe the front office hype, Terrell Owens will be a Redskin.

By Kornheiser & Wilbon | March 6, 2009; 08:51 AM ET | Comments (2)

T.O. Spells No

Chances are the next time we see Owens will be in a reality show rather than an NFL stadium.

By Peter Schaffer | March 5, 2009; 11:34 PM ET | Comments (1)

Strong draft hurts T.O.

With seven potential first round WRs in this year's draft, fewer teams will be interested in the enigmatic Owens.

By Rob Rang | March 5, 2009; 03:46 PM ET | Comments (1)

T.O. to the Ravens?

Without T.O. Dallas is just another pretender, and only Wade Phillips to blame.

By Gene Wang | March 5, 2009; 01:49 PM ET | Comments (1)

Terrell and the Jets?

Yes, he's over the hill, but what better stage for a swan song than Broadway?

By Les Carpenter | March 5, 2009; 12:00 PM ET | Comments (1)

Plenty of Possibilities

There are only about six or seven teams for which signing Owens would make no sense at all.

By Mark Maske | March 5, 2009; 11:17 AM ET | Comments (10)

NE, Maybe

Sometimes the best way to prevent distractions is to keep them out of your locker room. We're coaches, not psychologists.

By Dick Vermeil | March 5, 2009; 11:12 AM ET | Comments (4)

Too Much Baggage

For Jones to cut the ties with T.O. sends a huge red flag to the rest of the NFL.

NFC East Redux

DC...get your popcorn ready. But be mindful -- it'll get stale pretty quick.

March 6th Winner: INKYDOG

I have been a Redskins fan all of my life, but as God as my witness, if they sign TO I will pack away my burgundy and gold jersey and find another team to follow.

By TOP COMMENTER | March 5, 2009; 06:39 AM ET | Comments (2)

February 25th Winner: texas_willie

Jerry Jones is a short-sighted egomaniac, an embarrassment, and an enabler of over-the-hill veterans who know a sugar daddy when they see and hear it.

By TOP COMMENTER | February 25, 2009; 01:50 AM ET | Comments (1)

Cowboy Torture Never Stops

The gag order will last until Jones hears another set of questions he can't answer in a way that explains his own modus operandi favorably.

By Doug Farrar | February 24, 2009; 09:47 AM ET | Comments (0)

Will Jerry Jones Gag Order Backfire?

Gag or choke? What will happen when Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones gags his coaching staff?

By Reader Poll | February 24, 2009; 09:08 AM ET | Comments (0)

Can You Gag Anonymity?

Jones doesn't trust his employees. Rather than take measures to gain their trust...ban their asses from talking.

By Dan Levy | February 23, 2009; 08:23 AM ET | Comments (1)

Father Jones Knows Best

I think this policy is profound. In fact, I have just put a gag order on my family.

By David Aldridge | February 23, 2009; 08:03 AM ET | Comments (2)

Jonesing for a GM

It's not the media's fault Jones is such a control freak that he insists on calling the shots rather than acquiescing to a proven general manager.

The Rooney Blueprint Wins

In a league rife with copycats the Steelers have always followed their own blueprint. And it's built quite a trophy room.

By Jim McCormick | February 3, 2009; 12:30 PM ET | Comments (3)

T.O. Reality TV

No denying he's hard not to watch, but will you be tuning into Terrell Owens' VH1 reality show? Vote yea or nae on T.O. here.

Cinderella's a Fairy Tale

The NFL would be better served if Super Bowl XLIII featured the Steelers against another traditional power like the Cowboys.

December 23rd Winner: WPRIOLEAU

No one choked like the Cowboys (and I am a Cowboy fan). We need a championship gut to go with all that glitter.

Are the Dallas Cowboys Done?

Or can Romo and TO patch things up and get "America's Team" into the playoffs? Readers Decide.
