Hockey is Back! Gearing up for 2008-09
September 30, 2008 by Ben Ellis · Leave a Comment
The Stars opened up training camp two weeks ago, and my son and I joined several hundred other fans in getting a peek at the 2008-09 Dallas team. There was a great energy in the Frisco practice facility, even though the activities on the ice were far from game-like.
Vintage T.O. Tour kicks off after loss to the Redskins
September 30, 2008 by Steve Hartline · Leave a Comment
I bought into the hype and felt Terrell Owens had become a satisfied man in Dallas. After all, he wears The Star and plays with one of the most talented offenses in the game. And with New England’s Tom Brady going down in week one, most Monday Morning Quarterbacks felt that the Cowboys All Star wide out was this year’s heir apparent to last year’s Randy Moss like fantasy numbers. I brought my popcorn weekly to the show and thought things were good.
Marion vs. Julius, Part 2

As we all know by now, the Cowboys suffered their first loss of the season in the final Texas Stadium appearance of the hated Washington Redskins.
Cowboys running back Marion Barber played a less prominent role this week, as he was held to just 26 yards rushing on only 8 carries. He also caught 2 passes for 11 yards and did not score a touchdown in the game.

This is a difficult time in the life of a Dallas Mavericks fan. After two sorely disappointing years in a row, Dallas made little to no changes this offseason to prepare for one of the strongest conferences in NBA history.

Fantasy Football: Any Regrets Over Drafting Barber?
September 26, 2008 by Daniel Dessinger · Leave a Comment
Many of you jumped on the Marion Barber bandwagon early on, and when Fantasy Football draft day came, you jumped at the chance to have the new starting running back for the Dallas Cowboys on your team. But my question to you: Is he worth it?
I’m not a Barber hater by any stretch. I think he brings much needed toughness and aggressive force to the team. He is a force to be reckoned with. But in terms of Fantasy Football, is he really the back you wanted? Granted, he contributed 140 yards rushing and a touchdown reception as well against Green Bay, but who really thinks Wade Phillips will continue to give Barber this many carries? Isn’t it much more likely that the Cowboys will limit the number of touches Barber gets in the weeks ahead and spread the remainder between Felix Jones and Tashard Choice?

One of the many running subplots this season for the Cowboys is Marion Barber vs. Julius Jones, which will come to a head when the Seahawks play in the final Thanksgiving Day game at Texas Stadium on November 27th.

Romo Sloppy, But Good Enough
September 21, 2008 by Daniel Dessinger · 2 Comments
It was a tense night in Lambeau Field for Cowboys fans until early in the 4th quarter when a 50+ yard touchdown throw to Miles Austin put Dallas out of reach. The score was then padded by more than two touchdowns, but that’s what it took to put Cowboys fans at ease after a sub par performance from Tony Romo and the complete disappearance of Terrell Owens.
