Patriots Continue Fall From Grace

AUTHOR: thelandryhat | IN: Cowboys | COMMENTS: 3 Comments

The New England Patriots continue to struggle after the worst upset in Super Bowl history. The latest news is that Patriots defensive back Willie Andrews was arrested for allegedly pointing a gun at his girlfriend’s head. You can read the scoop here. Isn’t that great? Are we surprised? Nope.
This is disgusting, if true. It’s that thuggish, invincible attitude that got these guys in trouble in the first place. Now this?

Joe Horn Rumors Resurface

AUTHOR: thelandryhat | IN: Cowboys | COMMENTS: 9 Comments

I was going to write about this but I was rushed for my mini 4-day vacation and forgot to do it. Sports talkers speculated that the Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Joe Horn would be a top acquisition for the Dallas Cowboys, who are in need of another special wide receiver to split out with Terrell Owens. There are several reasons why trading for Horn would be a good idea and there are several reasons why it would be a bad idea.
It really depends on how the Cowboys would want to use someone like Horn, who was supposed to be the [...]

Wade Phillips Must Win

AUTHOR: thelandryhat | IN: Cowboys | COMMENTS: 15 Comments

SportingNews has an article this week here naming the top-10 “hot-seat” coaches, and you’ll never guess who is Numero Uno.
There’s no doubt Wade Phillips has to win this year. But how much? Losing in the first round of the playoffs again won’t cut it, and such a development would surely mean he coached his last game in Dallas.
But what if he wins a playoff game? What if he loses the Super Bowl or loses the NFC Championship game? Will a playoff win secure his position for another year?
I say maybe. If the Dallas Cowboys reach the Super Bowl, it may [...]

Adam Jones Wants To Party Like Its 1999

AUTHOR: thelandryhat | IN: Cowboys | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

You don’t think Adam Jones has turned a new leaf? His first test came Monday when the racist radio jock Imus took a shot at the cornerback during his radio show. We’ve already heard the story here, but it was Adam’s response that shook the NFL world.
He will pray for Imus. God Bless His Soul. It doesn’t matter the guy is going to hell anyway. But Adam Jones is already showing that he’s not going to be ruffled by idiots.
So we present to you “The Cornerback Formerly Known As PacMan.”
So, why the name change? He tells the Associated Press that:

Romo Ralph Lauren: Get Your Wallets Out!

AUTHOR: thelandryhat | IN: Cowboys | COMMENTS: 6 Comments

You guys ready for some Tony Romo clothes? Come on, you don’t like backwards hats, T-shirts and an old sport’s jacket with jeans? What about a dark purple dress shirt?
According to the bottom of this article he is close to an endorsement deal with Starter sportswear that would give him his own clothing line and shoes.
Now hold on a second. Since when did Tony Romo become known for his style? I mean seriously, when have we seen our quarterback on the front cover of some gossip magazine dressed to impress?

Is Adam Jones’ Response To Racist Proof Of New Life?

AUTHOR: thelandryhat | IN: Cowboys | COMMENTS: 14 Comments

By MBIIIEffect
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and shock jock Don Imus is learning that the hard way.

During an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of Jones, who is suspended, Imus asked, “What color is he?”
Told by sports announcer Warner Wolf that Jones, who used to be nicknamed Pacman, is “African-American,” Imus responded: “There you go. Now we know.”

The days are gone when statements like that pull laughs. It’s blatant racism, pure and simple. Adam has every right to be furious. But the cornerback formerly known as Pac Man is taking the high road.

The Five Most Overrated Players In NFL

AUTHOR: thelandryhat | IN: Cowboys | COMMENTS: 22 Comments

There are actually more than five overrated players in the NFL. So coming up with just five isn’t very difficult. How these players even get the attention they get is beyond me. But it usually has to do with either where they were drafted in the NFL draft or which team they play on.
With that said, the Landry Hat presents to you the five most overrated players in the NFL in no particular order of overrated-ness:

More Dallas Cowboys Bashing By Bloggers

AUTHOR: thelandryhat | IN: Cowboys | COMMENTS: 18 Comments

Unbelievable. That was my initial feeling when I read this post from longtime blogging friend Brian Miller.
Miller, a Miami Dolphins fan (I know, it’s funny), claims that the Dallas Cowboys have horrible safeties. It doesn’t matter that both of our safeties made the Pro Bowl. Nah. They suck. He said the Dolphins have better safeties.
So while those “listed” safeties on the Cowboys site are hardly anything to sneeze at, they are not a blistering list of Super Bowl bound safeties either and if you compare them to the Miami Dolphins, well, at least in experience…yeah we got Dem Boyz’.
