Why Didn't The Cowboys Just Run The Damn Ball?
When the pass-happy Cowboys offense works, it really works. And when it doesn't, like in yesterday's crushing come-from-ahead loss to the Packers that denied Dallas first place in the division, the failure tends toward the spectacular.

It turns out Thomas read my post, and he was kind enough to send me a new autographed ball. Seriously, put t...

The Lakers are hanging in there, but Pau Gasol, who was supposed to be a dependable and veteran presence in the general absence of either, has put up career-lows (or nearly so) in almost every category. Gasol says he's being used wrong. Mike D'Antoni says Pau's just dogging it....
