WHAT?! Yes, you read that right. The Dallas Cowboys who put up a stinker of a season and a losing record are one of the top five favorites to win Super Bowl XLVI. Ridiculous. In fact, the Cowboys are the third favorite at odds of 8-1. The Cowboys heads  were bigger than they should have been going into this season when they were Super Bowl favorites, so we just have to hope this will not be the same old song. Players entered the year with a sense of entitlement, now head coach Jason Garrett will have to keep the team [...]

It is only a matter of time until the Dallas Cowboys add another face to their new coaching staff. Multiple sources are saying that the Cowboys are close to hiring Brian Baker as the team’s next defensive line coach. Baker spent the past two seasons with the Carolina Panthers and was let go when John Fox was fired. According to the reports, Baker signed a contract to coach at North Carolina. The Cowboys came in recently and offered Baker a deal to coach in the NFL and Baker wanted to wait until after national signing day before finalizing any deal. [...]

Drew Pearson set the standards for the number 88 in a Cowboys uniform. Pearson was a star during his career which saw him voted to three All-Pro and Pro Bowl teams. During his career, which landed him on the 1970′s All-Decade Team, Pearson recorded 489 receptions for 7,822 yards and 48 touchdowns. On Monday Night, Pearson’s hard work payed off with an induction into the Texas Sports Hall Of Fame. Joining Pearson was the first owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Clint Murchison. Murchinson was the man who hired Tex Schramm, Tom Landry and Gil Brandt. Under his ownership, the Cowboys [...]

Cowboys Stadium played host to Super Bowl XLV and it was a rocky ride throughout the week. From bad weather and injured workers to fans having their seats taken away from them, it was quite an interesting Super Bowl experience. In the end, Super Bowl XLV became the most watched show in American television history and could be considered a success. Owner Jerry Jones issued a statement on the game and it’s festivities, which you can read in whole after the jump.

Christina Aguilera looked and sounded awful while singing the National Anthem at Cowboys Stadium before the Super Bowl. Aguilera committed one of the biggest crimes in National Anthem history by completely butchering the lyrics. How do you not know the lyrics to the National Anthem?! Aguilera has a good voice — at times — but apparently is not the best at reading or remembering lyrics. Perhaps the best assessment I heard of Aguilera’s singing job: She does a better job at looking like a tranny than singing our anthem. Enjoy the massacre:

For the second time, Jason Witten was awarded the NFL Alumni Player of the Year Award for tight ends. Running back Felix Jones was given the was given the NFL Alumni’s Spirit Award. Both players received their awards Friday night at Union Station. “It’s special because all of the guys that voted for that actually played the game and they were the best in the game,” Witten said. “For those guys to vote for you, watch you and see you, that’s what you play for – to get the respect of those types of players.”

Troy Aikman did a lot for the Cowboys during his time with the team. He quarterbacked the Cowboys to three Super Bowl Championships and was a member of “The Triplets” along with fellow Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin. All three players are members of the Cowboys Ring Of Honor, and Aikman would like their coach to be a part of the group, too. “If I’m in it, if Michael Irvin is in it, if Emmitt Smith is in it, Jimmy should be there,” he said. “You can’t tell my story or the others’ stories without Jimmy.” Only [...]

Starting quarterback Tony Romo saw his season come to a screeching hault when he suffered a broken clavicle against the New York Giants just six games into the 2010-11 regular season. Romo attempted to come back from the injury, but was eventually placed on season-ending injured reserve when it was clear the Cowboys no longer had a shot at the playoffs. It was the first time that Romo has missed significant time in his career due to injury, and the quarterback cannot wait to return to action. “I feel ready to play and start a new season,” said Romo. “It’s [...]

Cowboys owner, president and general manager Jerry Jones sits down with ESPN’s Mike Tirico to discuss the upcoming Super Bowl in Dallas, labor negotiations, and more.

How can you disagree with that? Check out the entire sit down with Mike Tirico below: Video courtesy of ESPNDallas.com
