When there seems to be nothing to play for, winning is hard (insert Detroit Lion’s joke here). Dallas has found themselves in a part of the season where it seems as if there is nothing to play for. Mathematically, the Cowboys are still in the playoff hunt. But after last week’s loss to New Orleans — the best Dallas can finish is .500. As the season progresses, one concerning question for interim head coach Jason Garrett is how can he motivate his players to play just as hard as if every game was a playoff game. There is no doubt [...]

The Dallas Cowboys made an impressive comeback on Thanksgiving afternoon against the New Orleans Saints only to fumble it away. With a play that appeared to put the finishing touches on a Dallas victory, Roy Williams was caught from behind and stripped of the ball. Saints QB Drew Brees then led the Saints marching down the field to regain the lead and the win. Williams joined The Ben & Skin Show today to discuss his crucial mistake. You can listen to the interview HERE.

Third-string running back Tashard Choice has not had the type of impact he has wanted this season. The former Georgia Tech star may get his chance to shine this weekend against Indianapolis, but until this point his impact has been minimal. Many fans have wanted to see more of Choice and did not understand why he hasn’t been on the field, especially since starter Marion Barber has struggled to make any real impact in 2010. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had some comments today on his radio show that may hint towards why Choice has been kept off the field.

The goal is to raise $5,000 and with your help this is very possible. Any amount would be helpful [...]

Cowboys back up quarterback Jon Kitna has had a statistically mediocre season since filling in for injured starter Tony Romo. However, a deeper look at the veteran QB’s statistics on the year show that he is doing very well stepping in for Dallas. Kitna has thrown for three or more touchdown passes in half of his games as a starter. His quarterback rating is 88.3. In his worst game of the year, Kitna threw four interceptions but three of those came off of the hands of the wide receivers. He has ten touchdowns and eight interceptions. It doesn’t look that [...]

While the Dallas Cowboys were not on the field Sunday, there was plenty of action in Texas to go around. When the Tennessee Titans traveled to Houston to face off against the Texans, a one-sided game broke out as did a fight. Midway through the fourth quarter Texans receiver Andre Johnson and Titans corner Cortland Finnegan got into a fight in the middle of the field. Both players had their helmets thrown off and Johnson connected two solid hooks and an uppercut on Finnegan. The two were ejected from the game. Fines are likely coming for both players, but I [...]
