<p class="MsoNormal">In the post game conference after the Cowboys demolished the Giants during a crucial Sunday night game, Owens disgust of Ed Werder culminated while being interviewed by NBC’s Kremer.</p>
<p><span>T.O.:<span> </span><strong><em><span>“I think that it was a lack of professionalism on Ed Werder’s behalf just to come up with some of that stuff. Honestly, you know, I don’t know where none of this stuff came from.”</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p><strong><em><span> <strong><span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Immediately after Terrell said those amazing words, Romo, Witten, and everyone else on screen began smiling like school children.</span><span><span style="font-weight: normal;">  </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">If the Team is having issues, they are doing a great job of covering it up.</span><span><span style="font-weight: normal;">  </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">The three famous players doing a post game interview together showed the type of unity that must have Ed Werder very nervous about his future as a reporter in Dallas. </span></strong></span></em></strong></p>

<p>But like all kids, whenever we get a new toy we immediately want to go out and play with it.  I am pretty sure that&#8217;s how Romo feels about his new star wide-receiver Roy Williams.  Hell, if I were him, I&#8217;d want to come out and see what I could do with this explosive offense as well.  The problem is, it just isn&#8217;t a good idea.  Long term, we need a healthy Tony Romo &#8211; especially with the difficult games against the NFC East looming.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an article discussing the <a title="Romo to play" href="http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/11041087" target="_blank">possibilities</a></p>
<p>::UPDATE::  According to Dallas Morning News&#8217; Calvin Watkins, Tony Romo has officially confirmed to the coaching staff that he is ready to play against the Rams this sunday.</p>

<p>Roy Williams was traded to the Dallas Cowboys right before the Trade Deadline at 4:00  PM eastern time on October 14th</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Roy Williams will work out a long term deal with the cowboys and the Lions will receive <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">a 2nd round pick in each of the next two drafts.</span>  The cowboys are giving up a first round pick &#8211; a third round pick &#8211; and a sixth round pick.  They will also receive a seventh round pick in the trade.</p>
<p>This isnt too terrible as Dallas is getting an additional free pick from Adam Jones getting suspended again. So we&#8217;re really only giving up a little for one of the best receivers in the league. </p>
<p>This is great news for a team that has had nothing but bad news since saturday. </p>
<p>It will be interesting to see how T.O. responds to having another big play receiver. </p>
<p>Details to follow</p>

<p>This is horrible news for the Dallas Cowboys who have already lost numerous players including Newman, Williams, Romo, Hurd, and Mcbriar.</p>
<p>I hope Adam Jones is kicked out of the NFL for good. He&#8217;s an idiot</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know what is going to happen, but if anything does happen to Adam Jones, he deserves it.  I jumped on the band wagon as soon as he arrived.  I thought that he&#8217;d finally get his act together and be a good player and teammate.  I was completely wrong.  I am embarrassed that the city and team have to deal with this distraction.</p>

Now, people say Racism is dead in America.  Being a middle-class white guy in north texas, I honestly haven&#8217;t noticed much racism at all in my life, so I never really payed attention to it.  This morning, Mark Cuban brought some much needed attention to the race issue in America.</p>
<p>As you all know, <a title="Josh Howard" href="http://www.nba.com/playerfile/josh_howard/index.html?nav=page" target="_blank">Josh Howar</a>d, (Dallas Mavericks) has been getting into quite a bit of trouble recently. From throwing a party, talking about smoking marijuana, getting arrested for speeding, and now this National Anthem issue&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="Josh Howard Youtube" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8yQ1BVDaIk" target="_blank">Youtube Clip here</a></p>
<p>Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks Owner) Has been getting a lot of flack for still keeping Josh on the roster.  He has posted a response about this National Anthem escapade on his blog.  He has also posted emails some ignorant people sent him as well.</p>
<p><a title="Blog Maverick" href="http://blogmaverick.com/2008/09/18/thanks-for-the-advice-on-josh/" target="_blank">Mark Cuban&#8217;s Blog</a></p>
<p>No Matter how much of an idiot Josh is, some of the emails I read this morning honestly make me sick. There is no room for people to write the type of things they have written.  I commend Mr. Cuban for bringing this important issue back into focus.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>::UPDATE:: had to correct above statement.  Jesse Jackson Ran in 1984.</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m getting hundreds of emails – hate mail – but I&#8217;m responding to it all. People deserve a response.</p>
<p>You can rest assured that nothing anyone can say can make me feel worse than I already feel about my mistake on the fumble play. You have no idea &#8230;<br />
Affecting the outcome of a game is a devastating feeling. Officials strive for perfection – I failed miserably. Although it does no good to say it, I am very, very sorry.&#8221; - Ed Hochuli</p>
<p>It&#8217;s good to see a referee man up to a mistake.  People need to lay off of this guy though.  He is one of the best referee&#8217;s the NFL has.  I honestly love when he ref&#8217;s Cowboy games, he has historically been very &#8216;Fair and Balanced&#8217; in his calls.  I hope this hate mail stops soon, it would be a shame to see the quality of this great referee fall because of one mistake. </p>
