Cowboys to sign Dallas native, former No. 3 overall DT pick who's made over $40 million Solomon Thomas played high school ball just outside Dallas. Now the former No. 3 overall draft pick comes home to reunite with his NYJ position coach.

When you’re a top-3 pick, you’re expected to become a household name. That hasn’t happened for Solomon Thomas. Dallas may be his last best chance.

The NFL's most penalized player will now have Micah Parsons all up in his grill for 2 whole games every season.

Comedy works best in 3s. When they do it again next year, it's gonna absolutely kill.

Cowboys lose integral CB to Jaguars in $30 free agency deal Lewis has been a mainstay of the Dallas defense for 8 years and 4 different coordinators. Now he'll help build the Jaguars' secondary for a new staff.

This one is gonna hurt.

Cowboys reward free agent backup with half-guaranteed, $12 million new deal Bell has gone from UDFA to safety to linebacker and then to special teams playmaker. Now he'll have a chance at a starting role in Dallas in 2025.

One of this defense’s next-gen stars was secured over the weekend.

His cars stop working if you wash them. His space rockets explode just after takeoff. This is the least surprising development ever. Genius, my ass.

SchoolHouse Rock - No More Kings
YouTube video by tennesseejed93 SchoolHouse Rock - No More Kings

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

In response to Trump’s assertion, β€œHe who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say:

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

FWIW, Schottenheimer's name is the one I most consistently screw up when I'm typing, so that probably means he's the clear frontrunner for the job. #Cowboys

Stars of the Cowboys' Past: Super Bowl drop doesn't define Jackie Smith's Hall of Fame career For most athletes who make it to the NFL, reaching the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal. Sure, every kid in the backyard pretends to catch the pass in the end zone to win the championship, but for t…

Mark Andrews got #Cowboys fans of a certain age remembering Jackie Smith. Here’s my profile from a while back on the man who was so much more than one fateful drop…

Cowboys O-lineman draws curious fine for Week 18 moment that penalized Commanders From @ToddBrock24f7: Washington lost 15 yards and a cheerleader got hit as a result, but Brock Hoffman drew a mysterious $5K fine. It’s hard to say what for.

Big-Time Brock draws a big-time fine… um, but for what, exactly??? My latest for Cowboys Wire:

It is important for all Americans to understand that Donald Trump has no intention of leaving office after taking it on January 20.

None.

Do I think he has a plan in mind already? Probably not. But is he taking his Oath of Office as a man who expects American democracy to continue?

No, he is not.

That album (on cassette!) got passed around my freshman dorm floor to whoever happened to be β€œentertaining a guest.” If you heard Bryan Ferry coming out of your room, you knew it was on. You gave your buddy some space, crashing somewhere else that night. Better than a red bandana on the doorknob.

We lost one of them today: a man who, despite literally changing the world, was more interested in you than rehashing anything he had done… and insisted that you call him Jimmy. Rest easy, Mr. President. /end

There was a time in my professional life when I met a lot of celebrities. Actors, singers, athletes, authors, models, political leaders. I can count on one hand, though, the number of times I felt I was in the presence of actual greatness. 1/

Brandon Aubrey is getting awfully close to the #Cowboys record for FG attempts in a single season.
