And although the team and its marketing director, Jerry Jones, Jr., were somehow notified of this minor issue, it can take up to 48 hours for certain servers to process the renewals — so you, too, may still be screen-grab-eligible. Most of us can breathe easy, however. Cowboys press releases and hard-line editorials such as Josh Ellis' "Players Deserve The Humiliation Of Phillips' Firing" are once again available online.
