It's not really a rumor, just something I heard the other day.  I live in Nashville and I was listening to the local sports talk radio station and they had John McClain from the Houston Chronicle on.  He said that every week during the season, the Cowboy's defensive players get together for dinner and hanging out and everyone attends except Roy Williams.  His implication is that Roy is unpopular in the lockeroom and the Cowboys are getting tired of his act.  Has anyone heard anything about this?  What do you guys think?

for the first closed door meeting?  I'm still optimistic about the season and I really like Ron Washington, but is two weeks into the season early for the closed door meeting?  That said, the series in Seattle was ugly, fundamentally, with lots of errors and all around poor pitching.  Maybe they need a few bats thrown into the showers.

Listening to the Ticket and Evan Grant just mentioned that there have been blow ups by this team each of the last three years that has hurt the pennant race.  Frankie Francisco, Kenny Rogers, and now Padilla.  I think this is an indication that the team is wound too tight and that Buck is the problem.  I'm joining the fire Buck group.
