Hey BTB Community,
I wanted to announce that we're adding two new writers to the front-page here at BTB. Our objective this season is to provide you with all the news about the Dallas Cowboys, keeping you up-to-date on everything involving our 'Boys, plus offer some analysis and opinion that will lead to great discussions in the comments section. These new writers will help us meet that goal. On another note, please remember to recommend any FanPosts you like on the side-bar, we love it when there are fresh FanPosts rolling through the top 'Recommended' section
Please welcome:
Martin Long - Martin originally started writing about the Cowboys on a Fan Huddle site, and then moved on to the Landry Hat, another Cowboys blog. Now, he joins BTB and will be offering opinion pieces, breaking news, and looking at getting interviews with players and coaches. Welcome aboard Martin!
rabblerousr - A member of the BTB community for a couple of years, rabblerousr has been kind of quiet in the comments recently. That's because he teaches at a college and was recently working on writing a book. He's been a Cowboys fan since the 70s, and now that he's done with his book, he's ready to write for you about the Cowboys. Welcome to the front-page, rabblerousr!
I might be adding another writer or two to the front-page; we're striving to have great content - and fresh content - all the time for the community. Look for new posts from Martin and rabblerousr later today.
Let's give these guys a BTB welcome.
Thanks,
Dave

I was hoping this “tradition” had moved on as well.

I saved you from that on rabblerousr's first post. :)
And welcome to both of you. More quality Cowboys stuff to read = good.
A first by itself is dumb.
But when it is the first word of a sentence, I think its okay.

I second your second and raise you a third of a fifth
I don’t get the disdain for something so obviously silly and innocuous :)

Welcome to the front page guys...
No doubt that the BTB tradition of great writing will continue.
I mean, rabblerousr has written a book….as Ron Burgundy would say, “Don’t act like your not impressed.”
Go Cowboys.....Go White Sox.....
What's it about?
I have incredible admiration for anyone who can write. I hope you can get published.
If at first you don't succeed - blame someone else.
Welcome to BTB!
Pretty excited to read their stuff along with OCC, Aaron, and Brandon’s. I love this site.

Welcome aboard, guys!
Let’s hope the Cowboys give you a memorable season about which to write!
Greetings from the Humungus, the Ruler of the Wasteland, the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-A. I laugh at your puny plans.

Hey everyone,
I am looking forward to writing some pieces that you will all hopefully enjoy, and provoke some great discussions and debates. Here’s to a great season.
Hmmm,
If ya’ll are looking for another writer or two for the front page, might I suggest someone who can write about what’s really important, like the cheerleaders? I would certainly volunteer in exchange for a lifetime subscription to BTB.
Deaf as a stone, dumb as a Bohr.
No, that's not a writer.
That’s visual media. Should be required for all articles.

Welcome you'll love it here
I just have two concerns not in adding people but in general. It seems like sometimes there is a cluster of new front post. I dont know if its just me and when I happen to login or when things are actually posted. Its like there all then sudden no pieces and then BAM and bunch of pieces. I feel like I can never catch up in reading and have to skip a few; not to mention miss out on all the comments:(
While more Cowboys is good no one can really focus on any topic. Also I hope this doesnt mean we will have 5 different recaps of any one topic. I was tired hearing about the miami game and crayton trade by the third post.
And last but not least the fanpost have been getting out of hand with the off the wall rumors or should be pick up said OL who was just cut.
Im sure this can all be chalked up to its preseason and they are minor gripes at that. Its like complaining my Ferrari seats are too comfortable.
Go Cowboys
Really?! Really?!
Welcome new writers!
Glad to have you aboard during a very important year for our ’Boys!

Adding my voice to the "Welcome Aboard"
As everyone says, more Cowboys articles = Good!
Looking forward to reading your posts.
When in doubt, empty your magazine
More content!
Remember, keep it fun. Glad to have you on board.

borad?
Now that’s an interesting term:
Urban Dictionary says, borad is “A nickname for an extremely tall person, generally of no great intelligence.” :) jk
