The Sporting News spews the conventional wisdom about Eldorado in Dallas.

Burger King wrote a very long MMQB column today, much of it about the Eagles. Once you slog through all that I found a couple of intriguing nuggets.
Unfortunately for the retiring Jaguar, that sentence will probably be as close as Smith will come to sharing immortality with Swann, who is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
I guess that shows how much the passing game has progressed in the last couple of decades. Of course, a bunch of Super Bowl wins always helps, too.
Sean Payton really is part of the Parcells family tree, even if he doesn't use the 3-4 defense.
Ex-Cowboy middle linebacker Bob Breunig is a good dad. He also was a very good linebacker who came in with a great draft class.
The Dirty Dozen included future Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy White and future Pro Bowlers Breunig, Thomas Henderson, Pat Donovan and Herb Scott.
The Dirty Dozen didn't even include 13-year linebacker Mike Hegman, who was drafted that year but did not arrive until the next season. And future Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jim Zorn was in training camp in 1975 as a rookie free agent.
Jim Zorn? You learn something new every day.
