SportsDay's Dallas Cowboys beat writers are examining the best draft picks by the team at each position since 1967, the year the AFL and NFL stopped drafting the same players. Best Randy White, Maryland 1975, first round (No. 2 overall) Tom Landry moved White to linebacker his first two years in the league. That experiment never worked. Once White was moved back to the defensive tackle position he played in college, his career took off....
Jerry Jones didn't tweet. But he did issue a statement to confirm the Emmitt Smith tweet that he will introduce the Cowboys running back at his Hall of Fame ceremony. "Emmitt Smith's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame is truly special,'' Jones said. "It is an honor that I share with Dallas Cowboys fans everywhere.''...
It's not exactly an ideal date at dawn of April 11, but for $25 you can pay to park in the red lot east of the intersection of State Highway 114 and Loop 12 in Irving to watch the implosion of Texas Stadium the former home of the Dallas Cowboys. A video of crews preparing for the implosion can be found here. The money is going to charity, and the roads around the stadium will...
Emmitt Smith announced on Twitter last night who will present him at the Hall of Fame this summer. "I asked Mr. Jones and he accepted,'' Smith tweeted about Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Smith has not put the announcement up on his website. But he played a guessing game with his followers last night, at one point tweeting, "I'm real honored to have this person intro me cuz he's done so much for me in my...

From the Associated Press DALLAS -- A lawsuit accuses an oil and gas company owned by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones of aiding an alleged $15 million fraud. The suit filed Wednesday in federal court in Dallas does not name Jones. The defendants are Blue Star Oil and Gas and its exploration manager, Lonnie Williams. The lawsuit stems from a 2008 federal case alleging fraud committed by a Louisiana businessman who works with Blue Star....
SportsDay's Dallas Cowboys beat writers are examining the best draft picks by the team at each position since 1967, the year the AFL and NFL stopped drafting the same players. Best Rayfield Wright, Fort Valley State 1967, seventh round (No. 182 overall) Wright's career as an offensive lineman landed him in the Hall of Fame. It's an honor that would have been impossible to predict from his start. The Cowboys bounced Wright between tight end,...
SportsDay's David Moore answered readers' questions in a chat Wednesday. On the possiblilty that Martellus Bennett's maturation process was hindered by Terrell Owens: I know T.O. gets blamed for a lot of things, but Marty B.'s personality was established before he ever came in contact with Owens. The Cowboys often roll their eyes at Bennett's comments and take it as immaturity. I think they're doing the same now while getting across that he needs to...
SportsDay's David Moore answered readers' questions in a chat Wednesday. On how important acquiring a wide receiver is to the Cowboys: I don't see it as a need, necessarily, but I do think the Cowboys can upgrade the position and make themselves a more difficult team to defend. Patrick Crayton is a solid and productive third receiver on an elite team. The question then becomes do you bring in a player who will replace Williams?...
SportsDay's David Moore answered readers' questions in a chat Wednesday. On Oshiomogho Atogwe replacing Ken Hamlin: Oshiomogho Atogwe -- spell that fast three times -- is on the Cowboys' radar screen. He's shown an ability to make plays, which this team needs in the secondary. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes in for a visit, but at this stage, nothing is scheduled. On the Cowboys' interest in drafting USC's Taylor Mays: How can any...
Actor Robert De Niro has signed on to play Vince Lombardi in an upcoming movie about the legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers. We could use this moment to discuss the quality _ or lack thereof _ of previous ESPN ventures in the movie making business. Or, we could take it in another direction. What if the network decided to make a film that focused on the formative years of the Dallas Cowboys? Who...
From our writers last night: Kevin Conner, the agent for Cowboys restricted free agent Gerald Sensabaugh, said two more teams have called to inquire about his client. That brings the total to six. No visits have been scheduled at this time. Sensabaugh wants to return to the Cowboys but said he wants more than a one-year contract. The Cowboys have said they want the safety back but have been quiet publicly on the length of...
One misconception entering this uncapped season is that Jerry Jones would be unable to help himself, that the system would drive him to fiscal irresponsibility. Jones is one of the league's more aggressive owners. But he's not crazy. Any spending spree now in free agency would come back to bite him. "We don't have a cap, but things are relative to what we're doing with one player and another,'' Jones said. "The real world is,...
Whether you like him or lathe him, Rowdy remains the Dallas Cowboys' mascot. But you could elevate him to the best mascot in the nation or eliminate him from contention in the tournament bracket created by The Doug Gotlieb Show on ESPN Radio. Rowdy, a surprising No. 4 seed in my eyes, is one of 64 mascots in the competition and faces Pat the Patriot from New England in the first round. You can vote...
