DeMarcus Ware has earned his money, and can thank D-line for it

Admittedly, owner Jerry Jones has thrown good money after bad a lot in his Cowboy lifetime.

He paid age. He paid quasi-potential. He paid idiots.

He paid Joey Galloway, and T.O. a second time, and the other Roy Williams after almost everybody had discovered his issues in coverage.

Yes, a lot of big-time, long-term money has been handed out to questionables at Valley Ranch in recent seasons. So when he handed DeMarcus Ware, what basically amounts to a check for $80 million with $40 mil guaranteed a couple of days ago, a little skepticism emerged. Had Owner Jones goofed again?

The Dallas Cowboys need to get serious about this season

Wade Phillips said that the Cowboys looked so crisp in practice Thursday before their bye weekend, they looked like they were preparing for a playoff game.

Beyond the fact that Coach Wade must have a memory like an elephant, I’m going to take it on faith that he doesn’t mean they all bolted for Cabo on Friday ….

Ba da boom!

Oh, and I see where Phillips and Tiger Woods chatted about leadership recently.

Talk about your one-sided conversations …

Ba da boom!

Hey! I’ve got a million of ’em, I’m here all week and don’t forget to tip your friendly waitresses on the way out.

Dallas Cowboys’ Brooking has a direct approach

Keith Brooking, consummate combatant on the field and refreshingly frank orator off it, has quickly provided stability at a position that lacked it and accountability in a locker room that needed it

The Dallas Cowboys inside linebacker spent the first 11 seasons of his career playing for the Atlanta Falcons. Those in the media who covered him most described the five-time Pro Bowler as the conscience of the defense, switching positions for the good of the team, consistently leading the unit in tackles and speaking up when others walked away in tough times.

“He just came in and his only thing he wanted was to win and just be a team,” Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff said. “And who can’t respect that?”

Coming out of the bye week, the Cowboys face another earlier-than-expected must-win scenario Sunday against Brooking’s old team, the Falcons, a rising NFC contender.

“I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t have it circled on my calendar since I signed here,” Brooking said. “I’m an emotional guy so I have to tame my emotions. This game is not about me, it’s about us winning. Do I want to win this game really bad? Yes. But, it’s about winning and going to 4-2.”

Playing at home for the first time since Sept. 28, the Cowboys can’t afford to drop to 3-3 with a loss — and 1-2 at their supposedly inspirational palatial new home. Defeat would ignite new rounds of criticism and derision, and questions of impending divisiveness.

Yes, Brooking came to Dallas well aware of last season’s fallout. It’s a big reason why the Cowboys wanted him. Brooking played nine seasons under special teams coach Joe DeCamillis and spent time under Wade Phillips when he was defensive coordinator and then head coach of the Falcons.

Brooking, without hesitation, proclaimed locker-room issues won’t split these Cowboys.
