August 2009

The rumor is flying around twitterville that Roy Williams broke his collarbone in a collision with Orlando Scandrick. This rumor has not yet been verified, and the consequences of this is as of yet unknown.

If Roy is forced to sit the first few games of the season, expect Sam Hurd to take the lion’s share of Roy’s receptions, while newcomer Ogletree may yet find a place on the roster for at least this season.

According to Gina Miller, for now, all the Cowboys are willing to admit is that Williams suffered a “shoulder injury.”

roy-williams-hookemDallasCowboys.com posted a rare interview with Roy Williams earlier today. Topics ranged from Tony Romo to handling media criticism.

Here’s an excerpt:

What’s your reaction to the negative comments from guys in the media?

Williams: It’s funny to me. I mean, it really is funny to me. I love it and everything, but it’s funny.

Whether you’ve already picked your fantasy football team or your draft is coming up this weekend, you can benefit from today’s post. We’ve pulled together six hardcore fantasy football “experts” into a panel and asked them all the same question. With their insight, you just might find that one pick or trade that’s a total steal.

Joining today’s panel are Tim Leckie, Steve Plunkett, Steve Hartline, Ryan Ritter, Derek Sanders, and Nathan Holman.

Let’s get started. Who are YOUR top five sleeper picks?

Notable moments:

Marion Barber scored the first touchdown ever in Cowboys Stadium.

Felix Jones scored the second touchdown ever.

Jon Kitna passed for the first touchdown ever to Martellus Bennett.

Stephen McGee passed for the second touchdown ever to Rod Hannah.

In case you missed the 60 Minutes interview with Michael Vick, watch it here below. Watch his eyes and facial expressions when he says he how he’s sorry and what he did was wrong. Looks more like a poker face than a remorseful face.

Having said that, does it really matter whether he is sorry? He’s still probably a very good football player. I just don’t like being lied to.

After you’ve answered the poll, share your comments below. This poll assumes several unspoken issues all at once. We’ll break them down in future posts to get the most accurate view of how our readers approach the game. The most obvious is: Would you rather have a talented player and good citizen who tears down quarterbacks or a talented player and law breaker who brings teams together?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Check out this SIRIUS/XM radio interview with Terrell Owens from early August. Owens has that team-player attitude we’ve come to expect year one with any team. The question comes out mid-interview about what Terrell Owens is playing for, given his one year contract.

Owens says he has no personal goals… he’s just trying to get the team in the right playoff position for possible Arizona Cardinal-like success.
