NFL News: Dallas Cowboys Update - Jerry Makes it Official Names Garrett Head Coach
The wait and debate is over. The often enigmatic Dallas Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones called a press conference on Thursday afternoon to officially announce that he has removed the interim tag from Jason Garrett's head coach title making him only the eighth head coach in Cowboys franchise history.
Jones conducted a brief interview process which included a token interview for long time receiver's coach Ray Sherman to satisfy the NFL's Rooney Rule (Rooney Rule explained)before making the move that many had opined was a foregone conclusion.
But, what does this move really mean for the fans?
Ahh yes, the fans. Those true-blue die-hard staunch supporters of the famed and self-proclaimed America's team have to be just giddy at the prospects of this new regime after a season of turmoil uncertainty and under-achieving players and coaches alike. With Garrett at the helm the team rebounded from their horrible 1-7 start to finish 5-3 and 6-10 overall. Not bad. But, a 6-10 season is not what Cowboys fans and the City of Arlington had in mind when the billion-dollar stadium and site of this year's Superbowl was opened a couple of years ago.
Jerry's assertion that Garrett will have the final say on not only his coaching staff but also the players on the field is refreshing and a first for the man who fired legends Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson for puppets such as Barry "Boomer Sooner" Switzer and the "Son of Bum" Wade Philips.
Unfortnately, the looming expiration of the NFL's current collective bargaining agreement with players casts a dark shadow on the upcoming 2011 season and could potentially result in a lockout. (Yahoo Sports)
Still for many, the hiring of Jason Garrett signifies more than just hope for the near future but also significant shift in coaching philosphy.
Garrett, a Princeton grad and former back-up to Troy Aikman, posesses a dynamic mix of youthful exuberance and tough-minded discipline that many believe will give these Dallas Cowboys the jolt they need to return to the glory days of the mid-90's.

Lockhart Line 9.29 - Sports Update - Cowboys win ... now what??
Cowboys win now what?? The Cowboys reclaim the Lone Star state from the upstart Houston Texans with a complete win on Sunday to capture their first win of the season. The Cowboys performed with succinct expertise which resulted in successes in all three phases of the game...The Texas Rangers secured a playoff spot but who cares!! With so much being made of the Cowboys poor start news of the Texas Rangers clinching their first playoff birth since 1999 has been met by yawns by many sports fans in the DFW, but who cares really? If they don't get out the first round will anything have changed? Now, it's time for the Rangers to get healthy and prepare for the winner of the ultimate race for the AL East Championship between the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays and find a way to get out of the first round in team history....

Lockhart_Line 9.14 Sports Update - What a start to the new NFL season!!
NFL News. What a start to the new season! After the first full week we have seen Superbowl favorites falter (Cowboys, Jets, Chargers, Colts, Vikings all have 0-1 records) and perennial underdogs make gains on both sides of the ball. (Texans, Bengals, Lions all look good in losses) The 2010 - 2011 season is going to be one for the ages.
Dallas Cowboys. "A tale of two plays" Yes the ref got the call right on the last play of the game and the Cowboys lost to the hated Redskins but the game was really lost on the last play of the first half!
