Jerry Jones Should Pull a Page From Mark Cuban’s Playbook
The Dallas Mavericks will begin their second NBA Finals appearance on Tuesday night at the American Airlines Arena in Miami against the Heat. The Mavericks have never won an NBA Championship, losing to the Heat in their only other Finals appearance in 2006. During their previous trip to the big stage, Mavericks team owner Mark Cuban was very talkative in the national media. Cuban talked more trash than most fans and even planned the championship parade route after the Mavericks went up 2-0 in the best-of-seven- series before his team lost four straight to lose it. This time around, Cuban has been as silent as a church mouse and his team has performed better than ever before. Perhaps Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones can learn something from this tactic.

Dallas Cowboys’ Felix Jones, Tashard Choice Could be NFL’s Next Dynamic Duo
For the 2008 and 2009 NFL seasons, Miami Dolphin running backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams ruled the ground game of the league. The two combined for over 3,300 yards and 33 touchdowns during those two seasons and led the only truly successful Wildcat offense in NFL history. Don’t plan on the Dallas Cowboys employing anything close to what the Dolphins did as far as the Wildcat formation. Still, Cowboys running backs Felix Jones and Tashard Choice could be the next big rushing duo in the NFL. (more…)
NFL Hall of Famer Floyd Little on Lockout: Only “Absolute Idiot” Would Risk NFL Season
