No one knows where this
@dallascowboys
season is heading. But if you’re a fan, do yourself a favor: don’t fast forward. It’s week 6 of 18. If it’s going to be special, let the whole thing be special. Watch the growth happen step by step.

The loss of Markus Paul is just stunning. Beautiful soul, wonderful person and a leader in every way. Thankful for his presence💔🙏🏻🙏🏻 Impossible to understand.
Don’t call or text or @ me about Dan Bailey. I know 2 things: you don’t release that guy without a reason, and he is one of the most enjoyable guys to work with I’ve known from my perspective. Only the best to you Captain Dan, in all things.
Just a personal note that no one asked for: Tyron Smith is one of my all time favorites in 42 years on this job. Personally view him as HOF player, and such a warm, real, uncomplicated man. Really love the guy. If he wants to play more, I hope he can 😞
Just musing…we MIGHT be looking at the most dynamic
@dallascowboys
defense in more than 40 years. Haven’t checked stats. They don’t mean anything. Disrupters, playmakers, game wreckers, I think you have to go back to the 77-78 SB teams.
Watching Steelers tape. Haven’t seen every
@dallascowboys
draft. It’s only my 42d year. But don’t remember being sicker about a player they chose not to draft than T.J. Watt 😖
Saddened beyond words at the passing of the original Big Cat, Rayfield Wright. But even more grateful to have called him friend. One of the greatest
@dallascowboys
and an indescribable wonderful human. Rest in Power, Cat 🙏🏻
Just crushed to hear about John Madden. Life was made richer because of him. Spent some of my happiest moments with John, rare as they were. Memorable HOF human. You live forever, coach.
If Tyron Smith has in fact taken his last snap as
@dallascowboys
I will miss him. Tremendous person who rallied to play some of his HOF best at the end. One of my all time faves. Hate this part of the business.
How folks feel about different sportscasters is totally subjective. Except in the case of Vin Scully.. the greatest of all time and no one was 2d. Or 3d or 4th. And as great a gentleman as he was a storyteller. One of a kind. RIP Vin🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When people work together for decades, they are family. We lost a family member today. The BELOVED engineer of
@dallascowboys
and
@rangers
radio broadcasts, Ted Nichols-Payne, died suddenly at 56. We are speechless. Perfect at his job. Better human. Gutted.
Apologies to our listeners. I mistakenly said this was the most point deficit
@dallascowboys
had overcome to win. Wrong. They’ve overcome 21 3 times. This was only 19. But this looked uglier🤷🏻♂️
If this is who
@thejaylonsmith
is going to be, he’ll be the most explosive linebacker the
@dallascowboys
have had since Thomas Henderson in the mid-70s. (Counting
@DeMarcusWare
as an end.) IMHO
Happy for all the new Hall of Famers. ESPECIALLY thrilled for
@88DrewPearson
! Now it doesn’t matter how long it took. You’re a Hall of Famer forever. Which we knew 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻🎉🎉
The hits keep comin’. Just seeing the news of the passing of Dan Reeves. Tremendous man. Such great humor and intelligence. Privileged to have known him and called him friend. RIP Dan🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ezekiel Elliott was universally loved the Cowboys locker room for his work ethic, commitment to the team and personality. He gave his all on the field.
Salute
Totally thrilled for Cliff Harris being elected to
@ProFootballHOF
! Congratulations Captain Crash! Thoroughly outraged at the omission of
@88DrewPearson
. There are no reasons for his omission. You are a HOFer, Originsl 88. That part of the vote is pathetic.
Gary Brandt (r) was our producer for the 8 years I had the honor of sharing the
@dallascowboys
radio booth with Verne. Long overdue reunion. It’s always about the relationships.
Jimmy Johnson preached building defense front to back, inside to out. If the last 2 days don’t prove how much
@dallascowboys
need DT help, we’re not watching same games
#vitaveamaybe
Can never blame a player for taking his best deal. Their careers are short. Lots of time left to build the roster. But today,
@dallascowboys
are worse off without the 5 players they’ve lost. Big challenge for coaches and front office.
The truly unbelievable arrest of the
@CNN
crew in Minneapolis this morning is nothing short of an affront to liberty. It’s a step toward a led-from-the-top descent toward a police state and it will not stand.
Huge congratulations to

Troy Aikman this morning on
@dfwticket
on his reaction to no Cowboys players going after Washington LB Jon Bostic after his hit on Cowboys QB Andy Dalton:
The baseball man-on-2d-in extra-innings rule is a travesty against God and nature. It’s Communism. It’s anti American. It’s rat pellets in the mashed potatoes. It’s cheap and it’s wrong and it’s unnecessary. Very much not so good.
@dallascowboys
fans,
@Spags52
is home today after a week hospitalized fighting a leg infection. He’s good to go but having to miss a
@dallascowboys
game for the first time since 1988. Please wish my camp roomie well!!
This is heartbreaking. Teachers are the backbone of America. We’re screwing them.
Please take two-minutes.
Then spread it far and wide if you feel it.
“And we’re tired of fighting parents who feel like mask mandates violate rights.”
With thanks to
@DallasCowboysPR
, Terence Steele was the 2d undrafted free agent ever to start a season opener in the offensive line for
@dallascowboys
(ot Charley Granger in ‘61). Kid had an above average game. Worth a mention.
Huge congratulations to former Cowboys GREATS Charlie Waters and
@DeMarcusWare
for their election to the
@TXSportsHOF
!!! Induction in August with a great class also including Michelle Carter and Francie Larrieu Smith.

And another thing: (1) just because sideline reporters are allowed everywhere but in the huddle doesn’t mean it’s always a good idea. (2) If they’re going to be so involved, they better learn to think on their feet & ask better questions.
There are hundreds of baseball beat reporters in the USA. Maybe some of them match
@Evan_P_Grant
in thoroughness, writing skill, sensitivity, passion, humor and grace. Don’t know, just know we’re lucky to read him
@dallasnews
.

You must never have met any of these men. You typify the entitled fan who feels OWED an accomplishment YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ATTAIN. Pay the price they pay. Meanwhile, maybe YOU should stay off social media.
In other news, (IMO)
@RobertWilonsky
