Know Your Dallas Cowboys: The Blog

We are going to try a new feature this evening called Statistical Hope and Oddities.  This is yet another good faith effort to bring you the very finest in obscure things about which you otherwise would have no reason to think.
The Hope
After week 3 in the NFL, Dallas has the 9th-ranked offense in the NFL, […]

We’d hate to get into a serious discussion, but we need to move on to Questons Without Answers for Sunday’s game against Tennessee.
No, we won’t be that serious.
(1) Will the offense come out firing or come out stale, especially given the distractions this week?  It’s hard to imagine that the offense will start fast, but […]

The latest Terrell Owens incident just kind of made us reminisce about the “good old days” back in 1996.  You remember, don’t you?  The radio telling you that Michael Irvin had been arrested for cocaine possession.  That he was with topless dancers at the time he was arrested.  And so on and so forth.  You […]

We found another fairly obscure clip that we’d like to share. Remember that before the Jerry and Jimmy show ended in a feud, leading to the Jerry and Barry show, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer had a bit of a history. We won’t bore anyone with the details of the two serving as […]

If this were a news blog, we would have already failed.  Anyway, most of you by now know that:
T.O. became ill as a result of pain pills and was admitted to a Dallas hospital.
Police thought that T.O. might have tried to commit suicide.
T.O. denies the suicide part.
So does his publicist.
Dan Le Batard says it ain’t true.
So […]

The Cowboys Christmas video appears to continue to make its rounds.  We found links to it from FOX Sports, D Magazine, Cowtown Jeeps, and Bob’s Blog.  Thanks to all for the links from this fledgling blog.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any particularly interesting videos to show at this point.  Introduction to the 1986 Monday night game […]

We were very thankful to have received links from D.C. Sports Blog and from Deadspin, both in regard to the Dallas Cowboys Christmas ‘86 video. And now the 1986 Dallas Cowboys not only have the distinction of ending the streak of 20 straight winning seasons, but also, 20 years later, have given a new […]

A poster at Cowboys-Forum posed a question as to whether the Cowboys
still suffer from a curse when they wear their blue jerseys. Nonsense, you say? Not so fast, Mr. (or Ms.) skeptic. Every team in the current NFC East, as well as the Cardinals when they were in the NFC East, has required the Cowboys […]

Someone at Cowboys-Forums requested a copy of the video entitled Dallas Cowboys Christmas Video ‘86. Kickholder for some reason has a copy of that video and said he would post the clips. Good Lord, this is bad. So bad that we just had to post it here. If you really want to see more, please […]

A poster named percyhoward at CowboysZone asked a good question today about the 10 greatest Cowboys who never made the Pro Bowl.

Must have played at least three years (or at least half his career) with the Cowboys and never made the Pro Bowl in his entire career.     
Active players are eligible.
Here’s my list.
Frank Clarke
Jethro Pugh
Duane Thomas
Preston Pearson
Jim Jeffcoat
