Today’s game was considered by many to be a must win game for both the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys. Despite playing with a banged up quarterback Brett Favre, the Vikings edged the penalty prone Cowboys 24-21 at the Metrodome on Sunday. In the first quarter the questions

Cowboys Show Up as Houston has a ProblemRachel TrimmSeptember 26, 2010 - Houston runs into problems as Dallas leave most of theirs behind. Going into Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys were starring down the barrel of a 0-3 start for the first time since 2001.

Pre-Game: Chicago Bears @ Dallas CowboysThursday, September 16, 2010 After last week’s devastating loss to the Washington Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys have plenty of questions to answer. Their opponent this week, the Chicago Bears, want to be respected as a legitimate NFC North division contender. Having only one game to go off of in 2010 season, it’s hard to pick a clear cut favorite between

Penalties Hold Cowboys Back

Penalties Hold Cowboys Back - Yellow flags color the Cowboys Game by Rachel Trimm Going into tonight’s game against the Washington Redskins the Dallas Cowboys only concern was the injuries to the offensive line. Those injuries ended up being just as big of an issue as everyone thought they were as the Cowboys fall to the Redskins 13-7 in Landover, Maryland. The Cowboys defense held the Redskins

9-11 - Remember Alwaysby Kitty Trimm on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 2:22am Nine years ago we all were going about our own lives. Not giving a care in the world what was going on else where. We all did our normal routine, went to work took the kids to school did our shopping made our meals and went about our day. Nine years ago that daily routine stopped for nearly 3000 people. No more

Cowboys Fumbles Give Texans Win

2010-08-29T03:10:00.000-05:00

By Rachel Trimm After seeing the so-called dress rehearsal tonight the Cowboys fans of the world might be searching for their panic buttons. True, it’s only preseason, but this was the game that was touted by Coach Wade Philips as a “true showing of what this team has.” What the Dallas Cowboys have are a whole lot of problems. The game was a mess right from the offset. Twice in the first

Are the Cowboys Down and Out?

2009-12-13T11:18:00.007-06:00

Are The Cowboys Down And Out?After yet another December lost as most would say and yes technically they would be right, does this mean that the Cowboys are no longer a good team and they are the team that messes it up in December? Well, were that might have been true in the past, I do not think that this time around that this is the case. There

Cowboys Fall to Giants In The Meadowlands"We hate them they hate us" -New York Giants WR Plaxico BurressThe Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants faced off this afternoon for the first time this season. Dallas goes home licking their wounds and hoping that when they play the 7-1 Giants in December, things go better for them.It was a case of no defense. Once again the Dallas defense

Zoom In; Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants

2008-10-30T19:22:00.005-05:00

Mayhem At The Meadowlands!If you are looking for the article where the so-called "experts" tell you what team they think is going to win this game, then you are on the wrong blog. In my experience calling games for the NFC EAST, I have found nine times out of ten that those so-called experts don't know a touchdown from a PAT when it concerns picking the winner. These division games are all about

BREAKING: Adam Jones In A Fight!

Dallas Cowboys CB Pacman Jones is in the news again. It's not the sort of publicity that Adam or the Cowboys organization want. You may watch the news video hereCBS 11 also has the story posted on their website @cbs11tv.com Oct 8, 2008 6:44 pm US/Central CBS 11 Sources: 'Pacman' Involved In Hotel Scuffle

Ray's Rants: Take THAT, Cowboys Nation!

2008-09-29T01:20:00.010-05:00

It's been awhile since I have talked about T.O. To be honest he's been rather quiet over the last few weeks. The one year anniversary of his "accidental overdose" has come and gone and other than a select few media sources (my local news included, ya bunch of morons), most Cowboys fans paid it no mind. Now, Owens is in the news again and his comments have Cowboy Nation engaged in the usual flurry

Ray's Rants: Biggest Bonehead in the NFL?

2008-09-16T18:21:00.006-05:00

When the Eagles drafted DeSean Jackson out of Cal in 2008, they were aware he had some character issues. The most obvious one being the guy was a bit of a showboat. The team figured, "Hey no big deal. The NFL has loads of these types of players." So, with the 49th pick in the second round, the Eagles grabbed him.Fast forward to Irving, Texas on Monday Night Football where Jackson cost himself a

The secret diary of JD Booty

2008-09-11T13:25:00.005-05:00

From The Purple BookSept. 7thDear DiarySomeone told me today that Tom Brady got hurt. One less QB I have to worry about not playing against this year. Kinda feel bad for the guy though. HMMM maybe I could have his job. Oh wait they have Matt Cassel. I think Leinart told me about him. something about Coach Carroll loving him for no apparent reason. Of course Sanchez said the same thing about me.

Rose Bowl...nuff said.Moving on...I take every chance I can to rip this guy. I about threw a party when Mr Young scored a whopping 6 on the NFL's Wonderlic Test.

3 Reasons the Vikings Didn't Cut QB John David Booty

2008-09-03T14:00:00.006-05:00

Not many people were shocked when the Vikings decided to keep former USC quarterback John David Booty instead of former Wisconsin QB Brooks Bollinger on Saturday when it came time to take the roster down to 53 players.John David Booty is currently the third string QB in Minnesota behind Tavaris Jackson, but next season if his play does not improve, I wouldn't expect him to still be there. Fact is

Cowboys@Broncos: Looking Back

2008-08-17T03:59:00.013-05:00

No One Likes a "Vanilla" Defense!For the past week, Denver WR Brandon Marshal and Pacman Jones have gone at it. It's been fun to watch and laugh at, but for Cowboys fans, the preseason has been anything but fun. The Cowboys are 0-2 in the preseason and show weaknesses in a few key areas, but it's only preseason, right?Last week, the first team offense looked like Gods among mortals in San Diego,

Doing the Divisions: AFC WEST

2008-07-13T18:12:00.003-05:00

AFC WEST San Diego Chargers- 14-2 ( WIN DIVISION)Playing in the AFC West makes the Chargers an almost open and shut case to win the division. Just about the only challengers on their schedule are the Steelers in week 11, the Colts in week 12, and of course the Patriots in week 6 who will likely come to San Diego unbeaten. The Chargers will lose to the Steelers in week 11, but it should be a

Hey Guys and Gals!I know most of you guys won't find this all the exciting, but just bear with me as I tell my story.For those that don't know, I'm legally blind. It means I still have some sight, but it isn't enough to count for anything of importance. I have to sit close to the tv, use big print stuff, and use a cane... things like that. I have a lot of eye problems that young adults don't

Who Died and Put ESPN in Charge?

2008-07-02T06:43:00.005-05:00

ESPN takes polls on some of the craziest things in the NFL off season. I guess the worldwide leader is sports has to make it though the summer drought like the rest of us. This morning I was casually watching Sportscenter when one of the commentators (can't recall which one) said Zach Thomas was voted smartest defensive player.CRAZY!!Apparently, it was a vote by the NFL coaches. You can see the

Ray's Rants: Get Him Out of Ohio

2008-06-16T14:56:00.005-05:00

I tried to steer away from bashing Chad Johnson. I didn't want to run the whole issue into the turf. I think even Bengals fans realize that “Ocho Cinco” is becoming a problem for the team. I guess it's high time I laid some air to my thoughts on it. RAY’s RANTS: Be the bigger man Chad Johnson is regarded as one of the NFL’s best WR’s. Last season he ranked third in receptions and was in the

Cowboys CB Collection

2008-05-23T14:00:00.001-05:00

We all know the Tampa Bay Bucs collect QB's but I am beginning to think that the Dallas Cowboys collect Conerbacks. They have... Ball, Alan Butler, QuincyEverett, TylerHenry, AnthonyJenkins, MikeNewman, TerenceOglesby, EvanPhinisee, Justin Scandrick, OrlandoWishom, JerronI swear I am not making this up people. Honestly Cowboys Nation, how many of those names have

And I Thought Dolphins Were Supposed to be Smart

2008-05-22T20:59:00.001-05:00

It has come to my attention that MOST NFL coaches do not know the meaning of the word voluntary. I think we should all send them dictionaries for the holidays or their birthdays.I saw on Inside Edition tonight that the Dolphins have publicly called out there man Jason Taylor for missing " Voluntary Workouts"Now, I could go on and on about how completely stupid this problem is but I'll try for the

Going 17

2008-05-21T20:00:00.000-05:00

It has been rumored recently that the NFL could add a game 17.In the short run that's pretty tight don't you think?I'm usually all for more hard hitting NFL action, but this time I have thought things through and have decided that I am NOT in favor of this for several reasons.It's just one more crap game guys. Think about it, even if they take out one of those pre season games that we all hate so
