Marc Colombo, Cory Procter and Leonard Davis are members of the Cowboys offensive line and they have this heavy metal group called Free Reign. The man who plays guitar is Justin Chapman -- he's not a NFL player, but he's good at what he does.
The band just signed a deal with Australia's Riot Entertainment. A debut EP should come out in the fall.
CARROLLTON, Texas -- There was a moment during Monday's minicamp practice where Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams was wide open and didn't get the ball.
Quarterback Tony Romo missed his new lead receiver over the middle, and as a result, Williams shot Romo a look, then talked to him when the play was over.
If this had been Terrell Owens, who is now in Buffalo, there would have been a federal investigation into why and how Romo missed him.
But the facts are Williams wants the ball just as much as Owens, and isn't afraid to complain about it. The difference is that Williams will not do his complaining through the media, he will do it in private.
FanHouse's crack squad of savvy fantasy football personnel put our five heads together and amassed consensus rankings for non-keeper, standard scoring leagues. We'll update as the season gets closer, but this is our "incredibly early yet still fun" version.
While we gave the nod to Antonio Gates, the truth is there is a clear-cut top four of elite fantasy tight ends who are damn near interchangeable. You could draft any of the four first and you'd get no argument from us. Each will be a very valuable part of a full-throttle offensive attack and will not hurt your fantasy team in this relatively shallow position.
If you don't get one of the elite guys, don't fret. There's a quality selection of tight ends worthy of starting in most leagues. This isn't just the Gates and Gonzalez show anymore. Thus, you shouldn't consider anyone here until Round 4 at the absolute earliest.
In February, ESPN mercifully pulled the plug on Emmitt Smith's television career. I think they did it as much for him as for us. Either way, thanks, World Wide Leader. But the NFL rushing leader still has opinions, and when asked, he'll happily share them. Especially if it involves the Cowboys, a team Smith helped win three Super Bowls in the 1990s.
At a Tuesday news conference in Arlington, Texas, Smith talked about the direction of the 2009 club -- one that managed to miss the playoffs last season, and, the year before, lost in the divisional round after a 13-3 record -- and he didn't sound impressed. A lot of that, it seems, has to do with Jerry Jones' decision to cut Terrell Owens.
New NFLPA executive president DeMaurice Smith, who was in Irving, Texas last week, called Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and spoke with Dallas player reps Greg Ellis,DeMarcus Ware and Jason Witten regarding the collapse of the team's practice facility on Saturday.
Smith also talked with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Jeff Pash, the league's executive vice president and chief counsel, about the incident that sent 12 people to the hospital and left Cowboys assistant scout Rich Behm paralyzed.

Jerry Jones might be a little eccentric, but the guy can spot talent. When it isn't top picks like Troy Aikman or Emmitt Smith coming to the Cowboys, it is undrafted guys like Tony Romo or late third-round guys like Jason Witten. Even Patrick Crayton in the seventh round was a success for Dallas.
This year, the Cowboys traded down, but didn't really snag anyone that is going to blow your hair back. Jason Williams of Western Illinois is a player that might see some time for Dallas this season. In college, Williams was a fumble-forcing machine, knocking loose six his senior seasons.
In exchange, the Broncos received a 2009 first-round pick, a 2010 first-round pick, a 2009 third-round pick and a player to be named later Kyle Orton. As always, there are fantasy implications:
Just because the Terrell Owens era is over in Dallas doesn't mean we're finished talking about it. In fact, depending on how the 2009 season unfolds for the Cowboys, we could be hearing about T.O. for a while. Good times.
Owner and self-appointed team spokesman Jerry Jones commented last week that releasing Owens made the offense "Romo-friendly." Not only that, Jones is apparently under the impression that the wide receivers currently on the roster are more than adequate. Via the Dallas Morning News' Tim Cowlishaw:
Big news out of Big "D" at this hour. It only seemed like a matter of time. He's notorious for burning bridges and ripping apart franchises, but it would appear Terrell Owens time has ended with the Dallas Cowboys. Initially the Cowboys were merely flirting with the topic of releasing Terrell Owens, but that's now a reality. Several sources have indeed indicated that Terrell Owens will in fact join the list of those recently out of work.
Where will he land? Does anybody really trust the guy anymore? So who else is impacted? One thing is certain the release of T.O is "huge" news in the fantasy world. He's betrayed many an owner's trust in recent years, but he's come up huge when motivated. Will he in fact be motivated with this upcoming chance, most likely being his last shot? Well, let's take a look at the stock market post T.O release and also take a guess at a few potential suitors.
Depending on who you ask, Terrell Owens is as good as gone from the Cowboys, or Jerry Jones could keep him around, presumably because a life without drama ain't a life worth living. Or some similarly lame sentiment.
SI.com's Don Banks writes that "From all indications, the faction that has decided the Cowboys would be better off without Owens includes Stephen Jones, the owner's son and the team's COO and director of player personnel, and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett."
Of course, Garrett is the same guy Jerry paid $3 million to keep in Dallas last season -- much to the delight of Terrell Suggs and Steve Bisciotti -- so who knows if such feelings from a once-promising coordinator carries much weight with the owner.

The Broncos traded Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears today, ending what was a loooooong and painful saga between he and head coach Josh McDaniels.
