Jerry Jones Was Locked Out Of The Cowboys' Locker Room
The Cowboys lost last night, but that's not good enough to sate the bloodlust of fans who want them to lose spectacularly, or painfully, because Dallas used to be good 15 years ago.

Steve Smith had himself a totally average day: 41 yards receiving and one touchdown. But it's what you do with yourself after the touchdown that counts-and did Smith ever do stuff with himself after the touchdown.
