My boy e-mailed me and said the Chefs were playing without OL towards the end...was that true?

f'ing stupid....Dallas built the stadium to have the setting sun come through the windows in the endzone so each team gets to be blinded for a quarter

apparently there's some sort of curtain or something that can be lowered but hasn't been during this game.

DeMarcus Ware signed a 6yr extension with almost $40M guaranteed.

Two workers fall on roof of Cowboys Stadium
Posted by Mike Florio on December 3, 2009 10:06 AM ET
During the construction of the new Cowboys Stadium, at least two workers accidentally died.

On Thursday morning, the facility claimed two more victims.

Two workers slipped and fell while working on the roof of the massive football and entertainment venue, the Associated Press reports.

The workers fell from an upper portion of the roof to a lower section.

Per the AP, Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said that the workers were performing "ongoing maintenance," which will continue into 2010.

Dalrymple said that he did not know the extent of the injuries, and he also said that he was unsure whether cold weather was a factor in the incident.

In May, the team's indoor practice facility collapsed during a thunderstorm, injuring several people, two severely.

Federal occupational safety and health laws impose many specific requirements to protect workers from many hazardous situations, including slips and falls.  The federal agency responsible for enforcing those laws -- OSHA -- undoubtedly will be investigating the incident in order to determine whether any of the relevant rules and regulations were violated.

Tony Romo may have a new job
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 9, 2009 7:31 PM ET
Tony Romo will do anything to avoid another December slide, even if that means conjuring up some painful memories from January past.

The Cowboys used Romo as their holder for field goal kicks in Wednesday's practice.

"We feel like we need to do something, whether it's the whole operation itself or some of the parts,'' head coach Wade Phillips said.  "We've got to get more confidence from our kicker. We need to do better. There's a possibility we'll make a change this week as far as the holder is concerned.''

The usual holder, punter Matt McBriar, has mishandled a few snaps lately and kicker Nick Folk has been struggling.  Backup quarterback Jon Kitna has never held in his career.

Phillips once joked when he took the Cowboys job that Romo was "retiring" from holding.  McBriar even said as much during the 2007 season while lauding Romo's ability to bounce back from his famous botched snap.

"Everybody thought it might be something Tony couldn't dance back from,"  McBriar said. "But they don't realize that Tony's not in the league to be a holder and he'll probably never be a holder again."

Lol, there could be tremendous comedy brewing here.

Farg dallas.

3D experiment falls flat at Cowboys Stadium
Posted by Mike Florio on December 14, 2009 9:53 AM ET

On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys supplemented the 3D football game they were playing with the first-ever 3D images from the giant screens hanging about the 3D football field.

And it didn't go well.

Multiple folks in attendance at the game told us that the gimmick eventually was booed, loudly.

Chris Jenkins of the San Diego Union-Tribune writes about the razzing.  And Jenkins points out a larger problem with the excessively large televisions at Cowboys Stadium.  

"Watch," one of the Dallas writers told Jenkins.  "Nobody's watching the actual game.  They're all looking up, watching the game being played right before them on the scoreboard."

watching the screen rather than the game...another of the 10,000 reasons they really are America's Team

you are so wrong but so right at the same time.

I'm still waiting for the story about the extra-wide seats to accommodate Texas's 'generously-portioned' population.
