Blogging The Boys Nationwide #1; An official BTB Podcast
We'd like to announce an exciting new feature: Blogging The Boys Nationwide, the official podcast of Blogging The Boys. This weekly show will feature extensive Dallas Cowboys talk from all your favorite BTB writers, as well as exciting interviews and guests from around the football world.
This week we welcome "The Football Scientist" KC Joyner, writer for the New York Times and ESPN.com as he talks to Rafael about the upcoming matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. We also break down the Ravens defense and examine the emergence of a dominant Dallas Cowboys defense.
[Note from Dave Halprin] I hope you guys will enjoy the new podcast. We'll be working to make it better each week.
I want everybody to give a big thanks to Brandon for doing all the technical work in creating it. He's been working over the last week to get the software for recording and editing the podcast as well as scheduling it and basically making it happen. Thanks Brandon, you rock!
Of course, thanks to Rafael for bringing KC Joyner on board.
And finally, I promise you guys that we will have new and interesting guests coming on each week and you won't have to listen to me prattle on endlessly. We will have other voices on in the future and will also try to work out ways to get you guys more involved.
This is just another example of the work that guys like Brandon, Rafael, Tuna Helper and Raul put in to make this blog the best Cowboys blog on the Internet. I can't thank those guys enough for the contributions they make.
And thanks to everybody who reads and comments on the blog, without you guys, none of this would matter anyway. [End Note]

American Fan of America's Team
I like the “Nationwide” part of the title. It reiterates the fact that there are ’boys fans across the country that are just as hardcore and passionate as those living in the heart of Texas. No other team even comes close to our fanbase. Big ups from NY!

The best blog period
Grizz, BTB isn’t just the best Cowboys blog. It’s the best football blog…period. If there is a higher quality blog information source out there, I’ve not seen it. Keep up the great work! We all really do appreciate it.

Media praise and analysis for the Dallas Front Seven
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/cover-3/2008/cover-3-division-bell
Nice feature on Football Outsiders breaking down the dominance of our front 7 versus the Giants’ offensive line last week. Makes for a good read if you’ve got a couple minutes.

D-Ware Nickname
Note the first use I’ve seen of the nickname “The Troy Terror” for Demarcus. Not terrible, although Warewolf is clearly better.

iTunes does not have the show available for download at the moment.
I’m working on it, but I believe there is a screening process.

DIRECTV Crowns Chesapeake, Va. Resident and Die-Hard Dallas Cowboys Fan, Americas Ultimate Displaced Fan
Thursday December 18, 1:54 pm ET
Contest to Promote DIRECTVs Exclusive NFL SUNDAY TICKET Package Generated Thousands of Entries; Five Fans Who Pushed the Limits of NFL Fan Loyalty Selected for Honorable Mention
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—A Chesapeake, Va., man who converted his two-car garage into a hallowed shrine to the Dallas Cowboys, including a floor painted to resemble the field turf at Texas Stadium, a miniature replica of the stadium and a collection of Cowboys memorabilia that would rival the gift shop at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was named America’s Ultimate Displaced Fan by DIRECTV today.
ADVERTISEMENT
The selection of Ron Lawrence, who also produced a clever video to show his unabashed passion for the Cowboys, was the result of a nationwide search for the Ultimate Displaced Fan conducted by DIRECTV to promote its exclusive NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ package. Delivering up to 14 games every Sunday during the regular season, the NFL SUNDAY TICKET caters to passionate NFL fans living outside the market of his or her favorite NFL team. Fans submitted thousands of entries via the company’s website, directv.com, where they competed for the Ultimate Displaced Fan title through written essays/blogs, photos or video submissions that illustrated why they should win the crown.

NFLNET has the 1995 playoff game
between GB/Dallas on Saturday, 12/20 at 10:00am. All this goodness coming from NFLNET is too much to comprehend. Are they all Cowboys fans at NFLNET , or what?

RSS feed?
haven’t listened yet but I love the idea of a BTB podcast.
Can you set it up with an RSS feed so iTunes can download them automatically and update my iPod?
