Emmitt gets emotional on Oprah

Emmitt Smith talks about researching his family heritage on Oprah...





Power of progress. It's a shame this country takes it time in getting over racism and it's sickening to think at some point in time this BS was common in this country. Makes me feel a little ashamed. I am just glad I live in today's world, and not back then.   

Not sure how long these will stay up on Youtube because Oprah has her thumb on the world people!

So if she don't want this on Youtube it will be gone.

Miles Austin plays the word association game

It sounds like Miles Austin isn't all that tech savvy and I wonder if the kid even has laptop, lol.



Perez Hilton - Weirdo! IPad, lol. The Jersey Shore fist pump, LMFAO!

At the 1:26 mark pause it.

Is that Romo in the background? Gotta be right. Hat backwards and looks like he has a decent golf swing.

Golden Tate met with Cowboys at Combine

Good to know the Cowboys had some conversations with Golden Tate at the Combine...

Golden Tate on Sirius NFL Radio


He's going to produce in the NFL. When you can make plays like he did with heart and determination, not to mention the size and speed, it's going to translate on the next level.

The Cowboys will not have a shot at him late in Round Two. So either they have no options at LT or Safety when they come up at #27 or they trade back up into the early part of Round Two to grab him.

Since he played in a Pro style offense at Notre Dame I think he's going to be more 'game ready' than a lot of the WR's coming out this year who are not accustomed to running precision routes. If there are a bunch of teams thinking he can step right in and play the slot WR or maybe even win the #2 job in training camp he's a goner in round one.

The WR position is always trickier come draft time.

Bill Parcells turned Jerry onto Pacman!

Jerry Jones is promoting the big fight this at Cowboys Stadium this weekend...



Eisen. Good to see you Mr. Jones. Eisen is a good guy.

Hmmm. So Bill Parcells got him into Manny Pacquiao. Cool.

Jerry doing big things with Cowboys Stadium.

Jay Ratliff talks Cowboys on DFW Sportsbeat

Here's Jay Ratliff on DFW Sportsbeat with Brady Tinker...



The Cowboys need to find another NT to challenge Junior Savaii who create a little more from that position.

Ratliff is coming off some elbow surgeries and that's a sign that his body could use more time off during the season.

You decide: Is Marty B griping about his role on Cowboys?

For the last two seasons I have been trying to like Martellus Bennett as a fun loving kid who sometimes sticks his foot in his mouth and doesn't realize ALL of his actions whether on or off the field reflect on the Cowboys organization.

I think it's reasonable to say I go back and forth with him. For a while I like him and he's just silly. Other times he will Tweet something that is so ignorant or tasteless that it makes me wish I didn't see it.

Recently the latter happened. So before I even saw this interview with him I was about ready for the Cowboys to trade him away for some draft value and not think twice about it.

Now after seeing this interview I am all for the trade and I hope it gets done ASAP...



So one of the top three offenses in the league should start doing things differently so you can get yours?

Not many teams have two Pro Bowl caliber Tight Ends? Jason Witten is a proven commodity Marty B, you are not even close to that and the sooner you realize this and start focusing on football more then you can even begin talking like this.

Work hard all week and then you need the QB to throw you a bone on Sunday? As if we all haven't heard the stories or seen the video of Romo and Witten having to direct you on where to line up or what route you were supposed to have run.

There is even video of Bobby Carpenter making fun of you on a Special Teams play because of the two options to block, left or right, you didn't know your assignment.

Let's be real here. You dropped a bunch of wide open passes last season. You ran the wrong route against the Panthers (you were supposed to fade back to the end line/back pylon and instead you posted up two yards into the End Zone). Your owner has even made recent negative comments about your professionalism. 

There was a moment for me last summer when I realized this kid may not have enough passion for the game to ever reach his potential. As a blogger I was closely following all the media things he was doing last summer. UStream. He was using this service while at training camp. At one point during one the sessions he revealed that he didn't know the Cowboys were in the NFC East. Do we need to know much more than that?

Bottom line. Martellus Bennett doesn't get it. He didn't get it at Texas A & M and the Cowboys were hoping they could mold him into a player who was all about the game of football. You can blame his age on some things, but that's just an excuse. After two years of being a professional athlete he's still all about potential.

And now he's ready to start talking publicly about the coaches doing some things differently in the offense so he has more opportunities. Between him and Roy Williams needing some much extra help maybe the Cowboys should hire two offensive coordinators and run two different offenses on Sunday. They can alternate every other series. Maybe Kitna can QB the one where Marty B and Roy are the guys getting the football all the time. LOL.

Just another day as we wait for the 2010 NFL Draft.

Report: Sensabaugh has interest from other teams

While I think the Cowboys are looking to sign Gerald Sensabaugh to some long term I am a little worried about him taking visits to the other teams, read here.

No visits have been set up but Gerald Sensabaugh has received interest from three or four teams, according to his agent, Kevin Conner.

The Cowboys put the second-round tender on the restricted free agent safety, which would pay him $2.8 million in 2010. If the Cowboys chose not to match an offer, they would receive a second-round pick as compensation.

On the eve of free agency, Conner said Sensabaugh's wish was to sign a long-term deal with the Cowboys.

The Cowboys can match any offers out there, but I hate when a team puts itself into that situation because then you are backed up into a deal where you really didn't set the parameters up to begin with.
 
I also heard some rumors yesterday that the Cowboys were looking into going after the Colts RFA Safety Antoine Bethea. This would cost the Cowboys their 1st round pick in the draft.

If the Cowboys choose to let Sensabaugh go they get a 2nd rounder back. But then they would lose their 1st if they do after Bethea and the Colts don't match it. These guys are both versatile Safeties who can play either spot which is what every defense needs these days.

The other options out there besides the draft as far as Safety goes is OJ Otagwe who is a RFA from the Rams. He's coming off of shoulder surgery and the Rams gave him the lowball offer. The Cowboys would not lose any picks should they sign him and the Rams don't match the deal. Now there are also reports that the Rams are looking to sign him long term anyway so they would match anything the Cowboys send his way.

The Cowboys at both Safety spots are looking at some very interesting scenarios these days.

Hey Schlerth. Gotta out you on this one buddy.

The last guy I am taking this kind of advice from is Mark Schlereth...



Here's the deal. I watch Schlereth all the time on NFL Live. He does an excellent job in analyzing the game and he knows his business from all of his experience on the field.

But the man has had 112,000 surgeries on his elbow, shoulder, knees, hands, fingers, toe bones, ankle bones, eye bones, ear bones and every other kind of bone in the body.

Maybe if he spent a little more time doing some recreational sports in the offseason to loosen up the body he might only have 32,000 surgeries to reference back to while on ESPN.

Love ya big guy.

Just sayin ya know.
