Well for one thing, it is FACT that the Cowboys have only drafted ONE Longhorn in history(Wayne McGarity=bust)1997 or something. Ironically, Tom Landry was their coach for 29 years and he was a running back at you guessed it, Texas Longhorns. In those 29 years I still cannot believe not one UT pllayer was ever drafted. But on to Jerry Jones, his alma mater is Arkansas Razorbacks, longtime SWC Texas rival, long before the BCS days. They hate Texas and we hate them as much as OU. That is just the way it is down here and it will never change. I know JJ will probably never draft another Longhorn, I mean in 2009, did they really have to go after McGee? With all the QB's coming out in 2010, he could have waited and the way it unfolded, he could have landed Colt McCoy. I just know based on history, he doesnt like Texas.

No kidding, they should have at least let him play out that monster contract, get their moneys worth and have a veteran in the 1,2,3 WR rotation. He isnt TO, running his mouth and causing problems, EVERY time he talks. Very dumb move.

It helps this year, but counts against it next year and even more than it would have this year. I am very surpised at this move, Jerry is supposed to be a better business man than this.

O M G!!!!, that is horrible! That USC crap aint gonna fly in the NFL and Leinart sucks. Not just as an QB, his sportsmanship is piss poor as well. I feel for you there man, cheese and rice. I would be giving it to Lynch EVERY play!

hahahahaha, it is nice when your team just won the SB! We are coming for them and anyone else that gets in the way! But have to say, Aaron Rodgers is a bad man, he will pick you apart at will. They are the only team i am worried about in the NFC, and it is gonna come down to Home field advantage.

They are gone brother, Barber, Williams, Big Leonard Davis, Kris Brown PK, and supposedly Columbo. They cant announce it uintil tomorrow, but JJ has met with these guys and told them dont bother packing for San Antonio for training camp. The news had them jacked up in their cars at Valley ranch. Its done my friend. I will miss Barber the most. He is no Emmitt by no means, I just loved and respected him as a player and a person. I wish he could have gotten a ring with them and retired with them. It is funny cause most players they cut i ususally feel like, good riddance! I just dont like this move at all! Nature of the NFL beast!
