Nope. JJ, will clean house. Cower will be given an offer he cant refuse.

I'm going to be happy either way on Sunday after this game. One of these teams will be completely cooked when it's over.

Cowboys are a mess. Jones is a fool for paying Garrett just as much as his head coach. Phillips can't even go over and tell him to stop calling so many pass plays. IMO they just need to clean house and bring in a real head coach.

I just can't see Cowher there, not his speed. He's going to want a certain level of autonomy and JJ isn't going to give that up. Carolina definitely seems like the logical landing spot for The Chin for many reasons.

I love busting the chops of all of the Cowboy's fans that are front runners. They are all quiet now. Love it. Where is the Cowboy fan that used to come on this sight? Lucy? You got some splaining to do.
If you are a Dallas Cowboy fan and you do not live or ever lived in Texas or ever played for Dallas or do not even have family that lives in Texas...then you are front runner. Look in the mirror...that's right...you!...you are a front runner.
One of my friends here at work is a Dallas Cowboy fan and a NY Yankee fan. HA! What a joke.

We were talking about teams with bandwagon fans. Sorry to break it to true fans of Duke, but they've got a lot of bandwagon fans just like the Cowgirls, Lakers, Yankees, and Notre Dame (although ND has been sucking it up a lot lately).

Is this post an indication of Duke's academic quality?

Deziree Bryant possibly out this week.


Coach Wade is worried at least.

Cowboys Corner: Bryant and Gurode might miss game

October 14, 2010
Bryant and Gurode might miss game

Receiver Dez Bryant missed another day of practice. His right ankle, which he injured in training camp, is sore again.

"I am worried that he might not be able to play," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. "...It’s been on and off. Those high-ankle sprains tend to last for a while and sometimes don’t get completely well."

Starting center Andre Gurode also might join Bryant on the sideline Sunday. He injured his knee on an interception at the end of the 34-27 loss to the Titans but did not have trouble with it until practice Thursday. The Cowboys sent him for an MRI.

"That's a concern, obviously," Phillips said.

Starting left guard Kyle Kosier would start at center if Gurode is unable to play. Kosier had never played center until the Cowboys cut backup center/guard Cory Procter during the off-season. Undrafted rookie free agent Phil Costa would be active to serve as Kosier's backup. Montrae Holland would start at left guard.

Bryant has had a series of nagging injuries so far in his young career. He also has a rib injury, though Phillips said Bryant's ribs were not a concern.

Bryant, the Cowboys' first-round draft pick, initially injured his ankle July 30 during training camp in San Antonio. He missed all of the preseason, playing his first game in the season opener against the Redskins. Bryant is the team's fourth leading receiver with 17 catches for 180 yards. He has returned a punt 62 yards for a touchdown.

"Anytime you're not practicing, it hurts, as far as young players knowing assignments and what to do," Phillips said. "Now, he’s worked hard in the classroom, and I think that’s helped him. He’s still practiced quite a bit. That’s also helped. We’ve also had walk-throughs and things like that that we do with the players that he’s been able to participate in."

The Cowboys could activate receiver Jesse Holley off the practice squad for Sunday's game. Holley has been practicing with the first team special teams.

Safety Alan Ball (shoulder), linebacker Bradie James (knee), defensive end Igor Olshansky (knee) and tight end Martellus Bennett (ankle) were limited in practice.

Gurode is the bigger loss, they don't have a backup center and would have to move their starting RG over. I can't believe how many parallels you can find between the Skins of last year and Cowboys this year. They have put up better stats that's for sure, but so many things there are just outta whack. I hope JJ sees the stats and refuses to back out from his position.

[MTK]

Yeah how about the part about certain star players not being available for post game interviews after a L? Accountability is apparently very overrated there.

As much as I hate the Cowboys, and I do enjoy seeing them getting criticized by the media (for once), it is unfortunately early in the season and any team can turn it around. I will be much happier when they are 1-9 or 2-8 and well out of playoff contention.
