Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Dallas Cowboys quick links

Just one practice today for the Cowboys, and Grizz is traveling on his way back home; no more great in depth practice reports. Hopefully we can keep getting some videos from Shango in his absence. Here are a few links to quench your Thursday afternoon Cowboys thirst.

Mickey Spagnola has a great piece about Felix Jones. He says watching Felix in camp this year reminds him of another Jones back on the same fields in 2004. We all hope that Felix is able keep the fire he has now instead of losing the drive like Julius did the last few seasons.

One thing that people underestimate about The Cat is his ability and willingness to run between the tackles.

Several times over the past few practices Felix Jones' best runs have been those between the tackles, making one quick cut and getting into the defensive backfield where a tackler's wrong angle on any play can mean six.

He had one of these for what would have been a touchdown the other day, and I promise, even though they weren't tackling, no one had an opportunity to do so. I think this is the run Phillips referred to here on Sunday when saying, "Broke the line, he saw the linebacker, but he was on to the safety already."

That is what you want to hear about your running back, even if he's probably going to play second fiddle to Barber, that he has good vision and anticipation. That he instinctively knows who he is going to beat initially and already is on to the second line of defense.

Exactly what made Emmitt so good.

The NFL has implemented a  "Fan code of conduct." Guess this means Cowboys fans in Philly can go see a game, right?

Some Cowboys players are glad not to have a roommate this year. Some others, like Roy Williams, welcome the company.

Flozell Adams has his sights set on a SB ring.

I'm all for a code of conduct for fans

Most of the fans are there to enjoy the experience of an NFL game and cheer on their team, but some of the so-called fans that show up to these games are drunk and completely out of control, cursing at other fans, throwing things and starting fights.

This should be a wakeup call to those season ticket holders who for one reason or another cant attend a game, then sell their tickets to others, if those people who buy your tickets act up in the stands and get thrown out, you might have your season tickets revoked.

So am I but

it’s also really a sad reflection on society when the sports venue has to remind what acceptable behavior is….

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.

Fan Conduct In Philly?

It’s a lost cause. Just remember two words : Michael Irvin.

I’m trying to find a link to a more legit source, but isn’t it odd that Amendola got a shoe deal with Under Armor?
