Cowboys Lay an Egg at Lambeau

Tony Romo and the Cowboys know they blew a big chance to claim a spot among the NFC's elite teams.GREEN BAY, Wis. -- You could smell this game as far away as Madison, and the part of it that stunk the worst was the Dallas Cowboys offense. On an afternoon in which everybody -- the officials, the head coaches, the offensive lines...everybody -- seemed to be conspiring to set the game of football back 40 years, it was the Cowboys who came up the smallest, committing 10 penalties and converting just 3 of 12 third downs in a 17-7 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field.

"This was an impressive win for Green Bay," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "But it was unimpressive the way we didn't execute, especially early, when we still had a chance to get the game going the way we wanted it to go."

But the most disappointing part for the Cowboys was that, by losing this game, they blew a very real chance to get the season going the way they wanted it to go.

Fantasy Football Week 3 Rankings: TEs

If you're still having trouble finding a decent tight end option at this point, you're doing something wrong. The tight end position has been consistently deep and productive over the first two weeks of the season. The Big Four is becoming more like the Big Dozen -- well, maybe.

There's simply no shying away from what Dallas Clark did on Monday night. He is essentially a No. 2 wide receiver for this Colts offense with Anthony Gonzalez down and out. However, you already knew that, right? And so, we must stick to our guns for yet another week with Mr. Clark leading the tight end rankings.

Sink or Swim: Dallas Cowboys Receivers

Roy WilliamsWe are only two weeks into the season, but if you're sitting at 0-2 in any of your fantasy leagues, it might be time to make a few minor roster tweaks. No, it's certainly not a time to panic, but that sense of desperation must be setting in for you. Relax, we're in this together. The best way to get back on the right track (aside from pulling off a lopsided trade) is to trim the fat so to speak.

So, let's talk about who is floating at the mediocrity level and if they can redeem themselves or if you should spare yourself the wait. That's right, it's the weekly round of "Sink or Swim" where I get to shed the pessimistic, or in some cases, optimistic perspective on the fantasy underachievers. Let's look no further than the hit-or-miss/boom-or-bust Dallas Cowboys wide receivers and give them a warm round of applause, because today they are on the hot seat.

Do you keep 'em or cut 'em? Let dig a little deeper first.

Kenny Phillips Intercepts Pass Off Jason Witten's Heel

File this one under things you don't see everyday. In the second quarter of Sunday night's Giants-Cowboys tilt, Kenny Phillips came through with one of the more insane interceptions you'll ever see in your life. As you can see on the replay (which is below), Tony Romo's pass is behind Jason Witten. After contacting Witten's hand, the ball went directly off his heel and into the arms of Phillips, who took the ball to the house.

The on-field ruling was incomplete, so the touchdown wasn't allowed. After booth review, though, the Giants were properly rewarded the football. Check out the video of this play after the jump.

Fantasy Football Week 1 Rankings: TEs

We know over the course of the season, it appears tight end is going to be a deep position, and this week there seem to be a lot of good plays. Sure, it's top-heavy, as the top four form the proverbial "Big Four," but take a look in the teens. There are plenty of viable options this week with a chance to put up numbers rivaling anyone in the top 10.

Of course, we're pretty confident Dallas Clark goes nuts against the Jags at home.

1. Dallas Clark, IND vs. JAX
2. Antonio Gates, SD at OAK
3. Jason Witten, DAL at TB
4. Tony Gonzalez, ATL vs. MIA
5. Greg Olsen, CHI at GB

Roy Williams and His Tight End-Like Speed Not Happy With Madden Rating

Roy Williams is the first to admit that he didn't have a great 2008 season. Partly because he arrived in Dallas midway through the year, but also because his roles wasn't well defined. Terrell Owens was the team's No. 1 receiver (on paper, anyway), Jason Witten was Tony Romo's favorite target, and Marion Barber spearheaded the running game.

So it's no surprise that Williams didn't contribute much. Expectations are different this year, though; T.O. is gone and Roy will be Romo's primary downfield threat. At least that's the plan. Not everybody has full confidence in that eventuality. In fact, the programming nerds at EA Sports don't have much faith in Williams' ability to get open.

Life Coach Cooley Gives Colt Brennan Advice on Jessica Simpson Rumors

On its face, it sounds implausible. No way Jessica Simpson, singer, "actress," inspiration to millions ... of preteens, would date a third-string quarterback. Particularly given that her last relationship was with the face of the Cowboys, Tony Romo.

But then I remembered that she was married to Nick Lachey, who was known more for hanging out with Matt Leinart than he was for his musical talents as a member of 98 Degrees. So maybe there is something to the rumor that Simpson and Colt Brennan (No. 3 on the depth chart, No. 1 in the hearts and minds of Redskins fans) are a couple.

Chris Cooley Impersonates Jason Witten, Makes Fun of Tony Romo

I think Jessica Simpson could be Tony Romo's undoing. And by extension, the Dallas Cowboys. The couple called it quits two weeks ago, and now Romo has spent his time between the golf course and making bizarre Fantasy Files commercials with BFF Jason Witten.

Oh, wait. That's just Redskins tight end Chris Cooley clowning Witten while his brother Colt Brennan (!) pretends to be Romo. (At least I think that's his brother Colt. The mask makes it hard to tell, although the throwing motion is spot-on Tony-tastic.*) Whatever, good times for everybody except, well, Cowboys fans who will probably have trouble seeing the humor. Moving pictures hilarity after the jump.

Cowboys Heavy Metal Group Lands Debut Record Deal



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.

Dallas Needs Roy Williams to Produce, But Not Act, Like T.O.

Roy WilliamsCARROLLTON, 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.
