Its official, Rich is a 6th grader! He is now a Middle Schooler. On Monday, Rich had his first day at his new school, Ellicott Mills Middle School. Only 18 students from his elementary, Phelps Luck, are at the new school. Zoning is a little crazy. However, he does go […]

This may be the shortest ever pregame blog. Some of the Vikings will play even fewer of the Cowboys in front of what will likely be a lightly crowded Texas Stadium. The reality is that both of these teams just played!! They each got in one—maybe 2 practices in between games, and […]

I remember growing up hating the 49ers. They always won. It didn’t matter who they were playing, how much time was left, or what the score was—you just knew they were going to win. Watching them last night I think they should change the name and logo. On the bright side—we […]

(Coach Parcells lovingly explains to Mike Vanderjagt its ok if he doesn’t feel like playing against the Saints, and that the most important thing is his health…)
The ‘Boys actually have one more preseason game after this one, but in all honesty not many starters—or even key backups will see action in that one. The […]

Man, I am really glad I am not a Saints fan. There is a lot of excitement in the Gulf Coast about Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, and the return of the Saints. I know it is only preseason, but if they are really half that bad then I think New Orleans should pay […]

Question #1 Will we actually ever get […]

The Cowboys did something unheard of Saturday night in Seattle. They won their preseason opener. Not only have the Cowboys lost their first 3 openers under Bill Parcells, twice in that span they managed to be shut out. Why is it important that they won—or that the have a history of losing […]

Well, maybe not really. They were all wiped out! However, if they had the energy I think it would have been a tug-of-war for each of us to get our kids to leave camp and come home. A clearly exhausted, hoarse Richard managed the strength to say “I wish Camp Sunrise was […]

Most people hate preseason football—and 4 weeks into it—I kind of do too. However, make no mistake a lot is on the line tomorrow night in Seattle, and then next Monday against the Saints in Louisiana. Not for the team, but for the guys either trying to make the team—or to show Bill […]

Hello Cowboy fans! I am sure you have all been anxiously awaiting the next Cowboys Camp update!! The anticipation must have been killing you!
What have you missed over the last couple of days?

Not a whole lot of news. If there were anything to report this would be it:
