Cowboys random notes

by Dave Halprin on Sep 9, 2008 1:06 PM CDT in Dallas Cowboys News

I’m working on a film review that I hope to have up later tonight.

In the meantime, here’s some other stuff.

My boy Chris over at Inside the Huddle wanted me to remind you guys that the season premiere is tonight. Terrell Owens is the new host this year replacing Tony Romo and Sam Hurd is on hand as well. It starts at 7:30 CST.

It’s Eagles week! Good times for all. If you want to keep up on all things Iggles, head on over to Bleeding Green Nation, SB Nation’s Philadelphia Eagles blog. JasonB is the main blogger over there and his blog rocks. Now, I hate the Eagles as much as any Cowboys fan, but I got much respect for Jason’s blog. Try to represent BTB with class when you venture over there. We’ll be doing some cross-posting later this week.

We now have the icon for Yahoo Buzz on some of the posts here at BTB. I don’t know much about how it works, but apparently if you guys like a post, you can add it to Yahoo Buzz for others to read or vote it up to get more attention. Feel free to recommend and vote for any BTB posts you like. Also, if you want to get BTB from RSS feeds, the address are in the left-hand sidebar.

BoDog says the Cowboys are now the favorites for the Super Bowl after Brady's injury at 4/1 followed by the Chargers, Colts, Saints and Steelers.

Don’t miss all the fine videos that BTB-regular scottmaui has linked for you down in the FanShots.

Romo and McNabb; contenders in the early, very early, MVP race.

#1 in power rankings

As the new post-week-1 power rankings come out the Cowboys are going to be #1 on a lot of lists….

ESPN:

The new kings of the hill are the Dallas Cowboys, who turned in an impressive romp over the homestanding Cleveland Browns in Week 1. The Cowboys vault from third to the top position, just past the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[…]
This team owns Sept. and Oct. It made the Browns look awful.

CBSSports

They went to Cleveland and dominated. That’s the kind of play we can expect from that Dallas offense this season. Running back Felix Jones is a keeper. This team looks special.

It’s been a long climb back, makes it that much more satisfying.

Grizz we told them to grab that 8 to 1 before the season started.

Grizz is looking at the whole class when he says that

but he’s really talking to you Terrence…

The Iggles are a very good team. Not that it should surprise anyone – a healthy McNabb was all they were missing last year. This should be a good game and a real test for this reoworked defense.

Okay, I'm going to have to call bullsh*t on this one...

"But this Dallas team has stalled where its predecessors once thrived. Romo’s Cowboys have never won a playoff game. "~Phil Sheridan

Is it me, or is everyone focusing on Romo’s 0-2 in the playoff like he was 0-10 or something. The guy has only been a starter for one full season, funny they never seem to mention that as a starter his team ALWAYS makes the playoffs. This is typical Philly sour graping, a lot like…

“For the fans, the drama has begun already. This is an ongoing soap opera, with compelling characters like Tony Romo, Terrell Owens and Pacman Jones – not to mention the Cowboys’ Botoxed owner, Jerry Jones – giving the proceedings that extra edge.”

sounds like it must be love for Phil…

all around the world it’s the same old song, talk smack about anything but the actual game.
