Excerpt: "Boys Will Be Boys" By Jeff Pearlman
"Boys Will Be Boys", Jeff Pearlman's fascinating account of the glory days of the Cowboys dynasty is making the media rounds this week and we will happily join in to promote it. It is ridiculously entertaining. Yes, Charles Haley is the star, but there is so much more to it than just his dong-flappi...
Mark Cuban Wants You to Know: "Cellphone Cameras Are Not Your Friends."
Cuban went after defenseless cellphone cameras in the wake of Josh Howard's performance during the National Anthem before Allen Iverson's flag-football game. By the way, how is Allen Iverson's flag-football game not televised and how are all the players not mic'ed up? Couldn't this be a television ...
Jerry Jones Would Like To Take This Opportunity To Let Everyone Know That Ed Hochuli Has Sucked For A While
It's been a rough week for referee Ed Hochuli as The Worst Officiating Call In The History Of The NFL continues to get picked apart by football pundits, fans, and coaches. As pointed out yesterday, Hochuli has been busy apologizing to everyone for his botched whistle-blow in the Chargers/Broncos gam...
DeSean Jackson's End Zone Brainfartery Will Be Overlooked — For Now
Yes, last night was disappointing in many ways, but it has not completely killed my faith: I still like my team. If anything, last night's Eagles/Cowboys game proved that Donovan McNabb is fully-recovered and that DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia's own Barack Obama, is still on pace to be the greatest E...
Another Unfortunate High Five-Related Injury
Being a white guy isn't easy, my friends. We can't dance, there's nothing but Coldplay on our iPods, and when we try to high-five during sporting events, there are often tragic results. Witness these Cowboy fans on Monday night, trying to celebrate following a routine pass completion in the second q...
The Birdacity Of Hope Is What Helps Us Make It Through The Night
I am exhausted. Utterly, completely, wiped.I have been away from Philadelphia for what seems like years and living out of a suitcase. I am down one pair of underwear thanks to the damn figs and now on my last pair of reasonably clean clothes. (Ones that will only require two spritzes of Febreeze for...
Surprise, Surprise: Terrell Owens is Once Again Acting Childish
The 2004 season in which Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens teamed up to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to their first Super Bowl since 1980 was one of the greatest seasons my maligned city has seen in decades. Terrell Owns was a huge part of that and was beloved for it … before his real lunacy started ...
Tony Romo: Cowboy, Hero To The OnStar-Averse
Ugh. As painful as it is to type these words, especially during this week, it seems appropriate given the circumstances: TONY ROMO IS A GOOD GUY. Fine. Whatever. Great. A story in today's Fort Worth Star Telegram tells the tale of two Cowboys fans named Bill and Sharon White, who were returning from...
Adam Jones Books His Reservation For Bulletin Boards In St. Louis And Philadelphia In One Shot
When the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, it's a game that is always entertaining because of how much Philadelphians despise the Cowboys. It's unhealthy, but it's one of those things that Philadelphians are saddled with the second they're spat out of their mother's wom...
Pacman Jones Just Got Reinstated; Receives News at Hooters
Dallas area strippers are rejoicing. It's probably just a coincidence that thunderstorms are in the Dallas forecast. Because, after over a year of suspension, Pacman is back. Jones confirmed the reinstatement with the Dallas Morning News this afternoon. Where was he when he received the news? Hoote...
NFL Season Preview: Dallas Cowboys
We're less than a month away from the start of the NFL season, so it's time to start the impassioned season previews from various writers, bloggers, diehard fans, cooks, TV personalities, and numerous other walks of life whom consider football the only sport worth watching. This year, the previews w...
Dirk Nowitzki Has Olympic Fever
Getting things shaved into the side or back of your head has become popular again. 1985 rules! First black basketball players brought it back and now it's crossed over to white basketball players. Albeit German ones. Nowitzki's new 'do is appropriate considering he'll be the flag-bearer for Germany...
HBO Pestering The Dallas Cowboys Begins Tonight
Tonight at 9 p.m. HBO unveils the premiere episode of Hard Knocks:Training Camp With The Dallas Cowboys as the NFL Films crew gets up close and personal (but not too close to Jerry Jones; the camera lights will melt his eyelids) to America's Team for the second time around. This has to be bitterswee...
Jessica Simpson Is Webcam Stripping For Tony Romo During Training Camp
Because otherwise he gets lonely. At least according to the always reliable Sun newspaper. Do you think Nick Lachey is more jealous of Tony Romo than he is of his ex-wife? I sort of do. I'm picturing Lachey reading this and thinking, "Damn, that could have been me on the webcam with Tony." Anyway, ...
Adam "Pacman" Jones Gets His First Dallas Endorsement Deal
I think I speak for everyone when I say, "This is Adam Jones; formerly Pacman. I've learned how tough it is to get a second chance," is the most persuasive opening to a commercial in the history of television. Particularly with the 1970's r&b background music. How much money did this company have...
Sean Avery Will Now Have To J.O. To Dallas Ladies
Well, isn't that fitting. Fashion-friendly hockey menace Sean Avery gets savaged by Gawker due to his "I'm Going Home To Jerk Off To You Now" comment at a Paris fashion show and then signs a 4-year deal with the Dallas Stars. The Stars are excited about his hockey skills more than his masturbatio...
From Cowboy To Commune To Caretaker
Until last season, Frank Clarke held the Cowboys' single-season receiving touchdown record. After being the team's first black star, he went onto become the first black sports TV anchor in the Dallas area and the first black NFL analyst on CBS. There were rumblings that he would run for political of...
Call Him Adam Jones, If You Please
He is Pacman Jones no more. From now on, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive back would like you to call him P. Diddy Puffy Roger Murdock Adam, which is his given name. This makes me very sad, like when Peter Parker quit being Spider-Man in Spider-Man II. But it’s all in an effort to rehabilitate his imag...
HBO Wants You To Get A Cowboys Tattoo On Camera
Looking to get that acting career off the ground? The Boys Blog has just the on-screen cameo to launch your thespianism into the stratosphere....
Marion Barber Unaware Of Marion Barber Rule
Keeping with the obliviousness-to-rules motif — hey, it makes us feel better about ourselves — Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber III, esq. has made a name for himself by stiff arming the defenders in the face. Apparently that's always been a rule. But now the league will begin to clamp down ...
