Romo finding the right "mix"

From snap to score it took 8 seconds. It was classic Romo. Taking a risk that nearly ended in no points and a crescendo of boos from a fan base wondering what their quarterback was thinking. Instead, it was a game-changing touchdown that helped propel the Cowboys to their biggest win of this young season.

Mesmerizing and magical, Romo eluded a slew of Falcon defenders, and instead of throwing the ball away with time running out in t...

Cowboys linebacker Bradie James says Marcus Spears sack gave the defense a great kick start.

The Falcons put together an 8 minute drive for the games first score, but the next time they had the ball, Spears said he took advantage of the Falcons offensive line paying too much attention to Jay Ratliff. "Spears got the first sack and that set the tone," said James.

While a lot of the defensive attention was put on Keith Brooking playing his old team, it was safety Gerald Sensabaugh coming back from an injured thumb that proved to be vital to the Cowboys win on Sunday.

"In the NFL you can't hold anything back. When you hold back, that's when the other team's scoring points. As long as I can play full speed, I'll be out there," stated Sensabaugh after the

It's been four years since Mark McGwire elected to "not talk about the past." Since then, the former slugger has been quiet and almost in hiding. Making very few public appearances and electing to not do interviews. It's all about to change!

Today, Tony La Russa announced that McGwire will replace Hal McRae as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals.

"I don't know how many years I have left to manage, and I wanted to take th...



COACH JOE: Enjoy the Journey

Coach Joe Avezzano

Football in some ways does mirror life. It is a journey, not a quick moment that defines the result. Hopefully life is long and results in ups and downs that ultimately can be judged as having been a success. But since it is a long process, if you don't enjoy the journey you are wasting valuable time. That's how I feel about a football season. There will be ups and downs and hopefully the end result will be a success.
