The only trouble for TCU and teams in the conferences which don't have automatic berths is that it's tough to ever play for a championship, but it is possible. TCU Athletic Director Dr Daniel Morrison Junior says the conferences are basically restacked or prioritized... The Dallas Cowboys have decided to give up on Pacman Jones. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said just the other day he wanted him back for another year, now he's decided that he doesn't. It was a dumb thing to do when they signed him, but at least they're making the right decision now. ...The Dallas Cowboys announced they will release cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. The transaction will be made official on Feb. 9, which is the first day that NFL clubs are allowed to make waiver requests, according to a team news release. Jones, who also returned punts and kickoffs, played just nine games in his lone season with the Cowboys. The team traded for him in April. When owner Jerry Jones made the move he knew ...

He'll be the only Stars representative. The game is Sunday, Jan. 25 at Bell Centre in Montreal. Modano, 38, has skated in All-Star Games in 1993 (Montreal), 1998 (Vancouver), 1999 (Tampa Bay), 2000 (Toronto), 2003 (Florida)... The Dallas Cowboys have hired a replacement for fired special teams coach Bruce Read, at least according to reports. I just got off the phone with the Cowboys public relations staff and they aren't quite ready to confirm the addition of Joe DeCamillis as special teams coach, which has been widely reported. Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips worked with DeCamillis in Denver and Atlanta. DeCamillis spent the last two year... |
