    HOW 'BOUT THEM COWBOYS?

    Cowboys game changers: Explosive defense and an elite Tony Romo topple theSteelers

    • DeMarcus Ware was credited with half a sack against one the NFL's hardest tobring down QBs, big Ben Roethlisberger.

    Remember when the Cowboys were 3-5? No, nor does anyone else within a 300 mile radius of Dallas. The formerly feckless Cowboys have found their late season mojo with a string of impressive, consistent performances, and the roller coaster season has finally seemed to plateau at the top of the hill, for once.

    It should come as little surprise that the Cowboys — who came into the game as the second-worst first half team in the league, its fifth-best second half team — are peaking down the stretch. Against the Steelers, however, the Cowboys had to patch together four solid quarters in a row just to make it to overtime. In what was easily the most important non-division game of the season, the Cowboys rode a string of big time plays into a respectable shot at the playoffs.

    Brandon Carr, Anthony Spencer, and the motley crew defense
    Fourteen games into the season, it's time to hand out the defensive MVPs. The name DeMarcus Ware isn't on anyone's lips. The top honors go to none other than the $50 million man, Brandon Carr, whose overtime interception against a two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback showed equal parts smarts and skill.

    Brandon Carr's overtime interception against a two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback showed equal parts smarts and skill.

    It was Carr's second jumped route of the night and his third interception in the last six games. For a man who has had to struggle through the emotionally loaded deaths of two former teammates within the last month, Carr is playing his best football of the season with a dignified poise.

    On the front seven, Anthony Spencer isn't doing his contract negotiations any harm by coming up with yet another fourth quarter, drive crushing sack. Sure, he had an interception fall into and out of his hands on the first drive of the game, but Spencer's last minute sack (on arguably the strongest, hardest to bring down quarterback in the league), saved the season just as much as Carr's pick.

    Late game heroics aside, the Cowboys brass has to be baffled with how good their rag-tag band of nobodies on defense is playing. There's no doubt Rob Ryan could write an epic poem about how much he believes in players such as Sterling Moore, Brian Schaefering, and Brady Poppinga, but everyone would know it's just another round of BS.

    With more starters currently on the bench than on the field, the Cowboys have patched their crumbling defense into a respectable squad, going so far as to keeping the Steelers to only 72 yards rushing. Perhaps Rob Ryan isn't all hot air after all.

    Tony Romo, paragon of consistency
    Who would have ever believed those words would make it into a review of Tony Romo? Isn't this the guy who was racking up picks like celebrity girlfriends?

    Whether it's a newfound confidence or the addition of an effective running game (it's the running game), Romo was as close to perfect as you can come against the Steelers. From mad dash scrambles (one of best of his career was dropped by Dez Bryant) to an uncanny accuracy, Romo won this game with his flawless performance.

    Is Tony Romo the hottest QB in the NFL right now? Absolutely.

    Compare that with Roethlisberger throwing the ball into the dirt twice on easy screens, and there's no doubt why one team is now a playoff contender and the other is sitting at .500.

    Consider this for consistency: During the past six games, Romo is averaging 312.5 yards, 2 TDs, .5 INTs, and 69 percent completions. That's better than Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees in every category save for TDs (Brady and Bree have a .3 edge). Is Romo the hottest QB in the NFL right now? Absolutely. Are his days as an inconsistent ball chucker with half a dozen interceptions finally in his past? Not a chance in hell. This Tony Romo we're talking about, after all.

    Credit where credit is due
    It's rare for a man to fumble on the goal line and still inspire praise, but DeMarco Murray is not the average man. His second efforts are unbelievable, and opposing defenses need to know that you don't stop playing against Murray until you hear a whistle.

    The offensive line on the other hand — a bastion of mediocrity and inability — had easily their best game of the season. The opened the run, kept the penalties to a non-embarrassing level, and kept Romo on his feet for longer than anytime in 2012.

    Dwayne Harris had his breakout game, and it was a thing of beauty to see his impressive punt return ability translated into two quick screens in space that he exploited for impressive, clutch gains.

    It's rare for a man to fumble on the goal line and still inspire praise, but DeMarco Murray is not the average man.

    And while we're at it, you have to give Jason Garrett his due for maneuvering his team through a tenuous late game scenario to a win. Had the Steelers been able to do anything with their final, gifted drive, Garrett's red head would have been on a pole. So when he makes the safe decision and it pays off, Garrett should get the credit he deserves. It was basically his first good late-game management in, oh, his entire head coaching career.

    Shame where shame is due
    Joe Decamilis, special teams coordinator, is getting mighty cute. Unexplained squib kicks are disturbing enough, but fake passes on kick returns? Just play the game well and leave the frills to the desperate teams.

    Had the game tipped the Steelers way, all blame would have been on safety Danny McCray, who was left pointing at Mike Wallace as he burned by him down the field, telling Gerald Sensabaugh, "You go get him." Of all the scrubs fighting to keep these defense alive, none is as likely to give up the big, game changing play as McCray.

    Dallas Wings new women's basketball stars get warm welcome from city

    The Dallas Wings No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers brings big hopes for fans in the 2025 season

    The newest members of women's basketball team the Dallas Wings are already making waves: Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, and her fellow new recruits were welcomed by a press conference at Dallas City Hall on April 23 — part of the Dallas Wings' official introduction of the rookie class.

    According to a releasae, Dallas Wings draftees Paige Bueckers, Aziaha James, Madison Scott, JJ Quinerly, and Aaronette Vonleh were welcomed by Mayor Eric Johnson and City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert, and gifted with cowboy hats by the City of Dallas Economic Development Corporation.

    The team will start the 2025-2026 season playing at the Memorial Arena in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. Their home arena is College Park Center on the UT Arlington campus, with one exception: They'll be playing their June 27 game against the Indiana Fever, featuring superstar Caitlin Clark, at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

    Fans will have to pony up the big bucks for that epic game, with the price for two tickets starting at $255, although the upper 300 level has not yet been opened for sale. Those wanting to sit near the floor behind the baseline will run themselves a pretty $1,205 for two seats.

    After Clark joined the WNBA in 2024, almost half of the other teams in the league moved their home games against the Fever to larger arenas. All of the other Wings home games are currently scheduled to take place at College Park Center.

    If all goes as planned, 2025 will be the last season for the Wings at that venue. In 2024, the team announced plans to move to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas Memorial Arena in Dallas, starting with the 2026 season.

    Bueckers joins the Wings after closing out her college career by winning her first national championship, with Connecticut dominating the previous champions, South Carolina, 82-59. She's considered by many to be the league's next superstar.

    The 2025 Dallas Wings season comes with much anticipation. Since the end of the 2024 season, the Wings have revamped their front office, which included the hiring of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Curt Miller and Head Coach Chris Koclanes. In addition to the 2025 WNBA Draft Class, Miller made significant roster moves during free agency which included signing reigning WNBA Most Improved Player DiJonai Carrington, 2022 All-Rookie Team pick NaLyssa Smith, former Wings guard Tyasha Harris and 2020 All-WNBA Second Team member Myisha Hines-Allen.
