Dallas Cowboys headlines

Tom Orsborn also believes that T.O. appears to be a changed man in this article. He includes some Q&A with continued discussion over Roy Williams’ role in Dallas.

Speaking of Roy, Greg Ellis wanted to clarify his feelings about Roy.

"I want everybody to understand how I feel about Roy," Ellis said. "Roy is my personal friend of mine -- not just a teammate, but I view him as a friend. So if anything ever gets twisted or distorted in any way, you're hearing it live, whoever is listening right now, from my mouth - Greg Ellis' mouth - that Roy is my friend, a guy I could honestly say that I love. I would never, ever say anything intentionally bad about Roy."

It looks like Spygate will not go any further if Roger Goodell has his way.

As noted by BTB-regular HutHut in this FanPost, our old friend Troy Hambrick just got sentenced to five years for selling rock.

Over at Deadspin, they have a post from sportswriter Mike Fisher detailing his very rocky relationship with Charles Haley.

what haters

I dont hear anybody hating on Ellis..

Yeah

it’s not so much hate with Ellis as it is…. “Shhhhhhhhh!”. He’s a great player and probably a good guy. He just needs a publicist. But not the kind TO had.

Yeah we are hating on Greg (rolling eyes)

How does saying the guy should keep his mouth shut when throwing a teammate under the bus constitute hating him. If anything, all the backpedaling and apologizing by Ellis shows that we were right. There was no need to talk about a teammate in that way to the media when the Cowboys are revving up for a SB run.

Grizz

Any luck finding a countdown timer for the site? It could countdown how much time until Training Camp and the hard cut-off for pac-man’s re-instatement.

And since the whole Patriots fiasco is losing steam, my final take

Goooooddddeeeellll should have suspended him like he’s prone to do with players. One day this may come back to haunt him and the NFL.

And can we STOP adding “GATE” to every scandal??? It is WAY old.

If one makes points out a slight problem with one particular player on the cowboys, you end up gettting labelled as a HATER by some

not against you Dunkman, just continuing on what you were saying on GATE being used all the time..

I never knew Hater was such an awful label

I guess some people are just too thin skinned.

I second you on the "GATE"

It was old when it became “Monica-Gate”. UGH.

Not to mention that it doesn't make any sense...

Watergate only had the “gate” because that’s the name of the hotel. One of the dumbest conventions in all of pop culture. I hate gate-gate.

The videotaping fiasco

was handled about as poorly as it could have been. But what irks me more than anything else is that Matt Walsh is now being scapegoated as someone simply looking for “15 minutes of fame”. It doesn’t make sense to me that someone would risk their job reputation and pretty much get themselves blacklisted from any future NFL job. Walsh had/has nothing to gain from any of this. No, Walsh didn’t have a tape of the Rams’ Super Bowl walk-through, but he never said he did. The Boston Herald just said there was a tape out there somewhere.

I mean, never mind the fact that the Patriots had a creative and revealing videotaping system going. OMG, Matt Walsh just wanted to get his name in the news! He sucks!

I love this Blog

We can have 7 comments talking about the usage of the word Gate, when it comes to scandals. I looked at the Detriot blog they have several post that have zero comments. Cowboy fans are the best fans. Just an observation..

No doubt Wmillion

You;ll see more commentary on a Saturday walk-through than any of the sister sites see during the game. It’s amazing. It’s the mirrors.

God I am so brainwashed.
