I had wanted to do this with all the bowl games, but the Cowboys recent play kinda ruined my motivation..... But now that this game is on, I think some may take interest in watching this matchup....as many position players we will be targeting in the '09 draft will be playing in this game...My two favorite targets in this year upcoming draft are :

BC's BJ Raji -NT <------- Thee ONLY true sure fire 3-4 NT in this years draft.

BC's Mark Herzlick- LB  <------ my favorite college player, and ideal 3-4 LB

THOSE TWO PLAYERS would do wonders here in Dallas, and I'd actually trade up into the first round to aquire either one of them.

BC's Ron Brace-DT is also a wide body that may fit into our NT spot, and be available when we select in rounds 2 or 3....Both teams got some pretty decent OLinemen as well, but no first day standouts worth mentioning.

Vandy's got some decent defensive players as well...keep an eye on Pat Benoist, Ryan Hamilton, and DJ Moore............

hmmmm.....there goes one of our competitors...As much as I hate to see a player go down in any sport, especially football....Time for us to be a little selfish. I for one look forward to our beloved Cowboys winning this years Super Bowl....And if it comes at the expense of a main player, on a team that's surely a frontrunner towards  the SuperBowl race...so be it........I can only hope and pray for my own team......here's to the speedy recovery to all our injured players...and continued good health......here's a link......:

Ideally, We'd all love to find a Lightening BOLT that can run some go routes, some post corners, maybe even a reverse or two.....Back in the days, The Cowboys were known to think outside the box and recruit athletes with little or no football experience, example:  transitioning other position players into WR's, Safties, etc., baseball players, basketball players, track and field guys, etc....We hit big with Bob Hayes, we tried to pursued Carl Lewis, Ben Johnson was targeted......really....to some extend Jerry has the same thinking, bringing in ex college QB's Crayton, Stanback, Polk.....all with the common goal of finding an elite athlete with speed, strength, and versatility to become a playmaking WR for the Dallas Cowboys....

After thinking about the ideal speed threat we so desire...I decided to look into these guys running over in China right now.....You want a guy with refined physical attributes...Tall, lean, powerful, and of course stupid fast.....OK....I am not sure if this guy, or any of the guys have any dreams or aspirations to be a Calvin Johnson and reap the rewards of multi million dollar contracts playing in professional football.....maybe they make enough just doing the track thing....not sure....BUT, If I owned an NFL team....be damn sure, I'd be trying to sign this human rocket from Jamaica.....6'5" 210lbs+, strong, chiseled, athletic, freakish abilities, large hands, exceptional quickness for a man his size, and of course....THE FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD. and it's not even close......

It's been announced that Brett "Drama Queen" Farve has been traded to the New York Jets......To make room for Brett and his 12 million dollar salary, There will be an expected release of one other existing QB's......Chad Pennington / at 6 million is more than likely gone from the Jets come thursday morning......

Jerry must do everything in his power to aquire this guy as insurance for our dynasty run of the next several years ...I am sure we can get him fairly cheap (2.5-3 million per) to back up Romo......I'd sure sleep a whole lot better with Pennington over Brad..........thoughts ?

ok.....The ONLY player left that should be extended sometime soon, in the upcoming months is restricted free agent -DE Chris Canty, who I personally believe is our best D Lineman right now, and has shown many flashes of excellence, has remained relatively healthy, and still has much upside to become a Trevor Pryce, Richard Seymour type impact rush end in our system. I was figuring possibly a little bit more than we gave Ratliff to extend....but a very similiar DE just signed a whopping extension that very well will have an effect Jerry's and Stephen's negotiating leverage.........here's a link to the new contract signed by San Diego's 3-4 DE Louis Castillo, 43.1 million / 18 in bonuses over 5 years.......who I think is a tremendous talent, and still only 24 years old.....but he's missed 13 games over the past 2 seasons.....and STILL got this contract...

.It only makes me wonder what Canty's demands will be now in light of this recent signing of comparable talent.....I say Canty gets signed to a 5 year / 35 million dollar contract......15 million bonus.........only time will tell............

As reported on ESPN by Michael Smith.....TO has signed a 3 year deal through 2011......amount unknown at this time !!!!!!....thank you....I knew this would be coming...And there isn't a player on this team that deserved to be resigned more than TO.......He's the main link on our offense.....I am just trying to fill up space here to meet my 75 word minimum.......I hope this does it......Jerry Jones.....Executive of the YEAR....HANDS Down....

I'm just looking to gauge the local fan base, and maybe get some insight on how it really is there, as far as economy, weather, crime, housing, activities, attractions, night life, etc..... I have very few passions in life. One thing that remains constant is my love of The Dallas Cowboys. I can't even begin to explain the desire to become a season ticket holder, and be able to see each and every home game...Should I uproot my current status and head west ? ....that is the question...If there are people living in the area, or others who have shared the same dream to move to Dallas...I'd love to hear from you....

I am known to make rash/off the cuff decisions, and moving to Dallas is now on my plate for the pondering.....

I'm single, never married, with no children. I have always wanted to move to the Dallas area to be closer to my team...I have had business ventures and can eventually start up another business there once I get settled. I've enjoyed  a rewarding career which lets me travel anywhere I want and obtain work with a mere phone call. I have aquired many skills that give me the ability to land a job no problem....I'm in the contruction industry, and from what i've read, new construction is plentiful in the D/FW area....and housing is very modestly priced....SURE I can continue to watch my team every week on TV.......but.....you can't beat tailgating and live football.........I'd love to find a place near the new stadium, and who knows....even have my fellow bloggers from all over the country stop by and go to the game.....

I'd like some feedback.....am I really that much of a Cowboy fanatic to move my ass to Dallas ????  ask yourself that...and get back to me...
