One of these days, I'll actually write something about the Cowboys. But until then, here are some more links.
Tony Gonzales can be had for as little as a third. The Giants and Eagles are interested.
ESPN won’t tell us why Kellen Winslow is in the hospital. PFT will. Is this because ESPN is trying to respect Winslow’s privacy, or because ESPN and “investigative journalism” do not go together? And is Winslow’s injury better or worse than Terence Newman's?
For anyone who wants to learn how to run the Wildcat Offense.
Something not NFL: another reminder why the BCS is the hands-down dumbest way of determining who plays for the national championship.
The NFL lets you create your own team highlight film. What I find more amusing than the ability to play executive producer is mocking the cuts because of 1) the inability to write one sentence at a 3rd grade level and 2) content (I see that Brett Farve fans are keeping busy).
In the “how the heck do these people get jobs writing for major publications” category, Dennis Dillon earns his paycheck by telling us that LT needs to do better. Wow Dennis, what amazing insight you are providing to us dumb NFL fans. What next? That the team that scores the most points wins?
I wonder if this was the key concession that enticed Farve to play for the Jets this year.
Brady Quinn tries to stay in the spotlight. Either that, or he is trying to turn his backup quarterback gig into one of those cushy federal jobs in which he can use our tax dollars to buy this girl lingerie and "light refreshments."

So I'm finally getting settled in from moving and starting work. I'll post in the next few days, but for now I'm going to leave you with some links.
Only the Lions could seriously believe that someone who puts up these stats are worth 1 DeMarcus Ware or 2 first round picks.
Of course, getting Roy Williams for DeMarcus Ware would be much better than trading for this former Bills running back.
While the above statement is true, you probably thought I was talking about him.
Ok fine… here's the article you expected about a former Bills legend at running back getting in trouble with the law.
In case you approved of Brett Favre trying to single-handedly take over ESPN’s football coverage over the course of the last two months, here's some more footage, complete with inspirational music and subtitles.
Then again, results like this remind me that Favre is more than just a male diva.
ESPN has an interesting in-depth look at the sack record prior to 1982.
In the “Captain Obvious writes for the Dallas Morning News” file, Tim Cowlishaw thinks that Tony Romo needs to cut down on mistakes. It’s on par with other such insightful observations as “St. Louis is a bad NFL team” and “the loss of Tom Brady had a major effect on the Patriots.”

Profootballtalk.com goes after Todd McShay and the rest of BSPN’s draft experts. While I wouldn’t be surprised that BSPN’s draft talent evaluators are failed scouts, I think it is a little too much to give BSPN responsibility for misleading Woodson, since they have no duty to tell him where he will be taken into the draft.
What is stupider than making power rankings in the middle of the summer when NO ONE knows how a team’s roster is going to shape up? Doing in-depth analysis of this exercise in futility. See here, here, and here. Even the fans can get involved here and here.
Thankfully we have nothing to do with James Hardy, especially since Jerry said he was #1 wide receiver on the Cowboys’ draft board
Everything you ever wanted to know about the process of random urine screenings.
Hopefully this is true. Then again, a month and a half ago they were secretly married, so who the heck knows?
Parcells and physical conditioning.

Here is ESPN’s Ultimate Standings – an “objective” measure of fan satisfaction with their team. I’m not convinced how accurate a system is where Dallas is ranked above the Giants in fan satisfaction, yet in the last decade, the Giants have two super Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl win, while the Cowboys are still looking for a playoff win.
Some media writer actually cares about offensive linemen (or it is a really slow week in the news department).
The Eagles Cheerleaders care about the environment. (Actually, I wanted an excuse to post this picture).
The O.J. Simpson story just gets crazier.
The last place I want to be in is the middle of this.
Power polls in the middle of the offseason, when NO ONE knows how good any of the rookies will do are fairly annoying, and trying to liven it up with superhero quotes doesn’t help.

2009 Mock Draft Up Already?
Posted by Taz:
One would think that Todd McShay of ESPN can at least take more than 24 hours off from draft analysis; instead of hanging out with his family and friends, he did a mock draft for 2009. Maybe it's the fact that he has no time to see family or friends that makes him so angry when Mel Kiper questions his mock draft.

MJD on the good and bad of the draft.
Maybe the reason I have trouble winning at fantasy football in the last 3 years is because I am not planning out my 2008 Fantasy picks a week before the 2008 NFL Draft.
Martellus Bennett is already talking about Romo’s girl (scroll down to find it). I find it amusing the Cowboys called him the next day to tell him to shut his mouth. This makes me ask 2 questions. 1) When TO talked about Jessica Simpson on the radio, did the Cowboys call him as well? Or did they not say a word, fearing that TO would go on some sort of rant that involved questioning Romo’s manhood while doing situps in Wade Phillips' driveway? 2) Does Romo have that much pull in the organization that he wants no one to talk about Jessica? And if so, does this mean that come training camp, Martellus is going to get the crap hazed out of him by Dallas’ starting O-Line?
The Jets show us how to take the bargaining power away from a player complaining about his contract. And all it costs is 2 roster spots, a second and fourth round pick, millions in new contracts, and a ton of locker room disharmony. Matt Mosley’s two cents.
Apparently ProFootballTalk’s concern that USC players may possibly be too soft because they like the SoCal lifestyle was not a concern to those spending the money of their billionaire bosses.

Here are some more random weblinks to somewhat distract you from going to BSPN and reading their 39 mock drafts (none of which will be correct).
Great article on all sorts of factors that will cause your favorite team to ignore common sense during the draft.
This bothers me just because the last troubled NFL player to get help from Jim Brown was Maurice Clarett. And what did that do for him? Now he is hanging out in federal prison because he had to buy a bunch of illegal weapons to protect himself from the Israeli mafia (and no I did not make this up – see this).
Ever wondered what would happen if Matt Millen was drafting for every team?
Despite the fact that Brett Favre retired, he will not go away. Exhibit 1 Exhibit 2
Video of Drew Rosenhaus, whining like a little girl. Watch him plea with the Bengals to release his client because their “relationship is not working.” Note how Mr. Rosenhaus ignores that fact that the relationship is not working because Chad Johnson is throwing a temper tantrum. Despite the fact that Mr. Rosenhaus went to the #12 ranked law school in the nation, he apparently did not learn that when you sign a contract, you cannot get out of it by whining like a little bitch about how your client is unhappy.

Michael Silver explains why in three years, there will be a 70% chance you will be disappointed with your first round pick.
Keeping the above article in mind, does it then make sense to trade the NFL’s sack leader for a first rounder and something else?
Why do people think stuff like this is socially acceptable?
It seems like Sal Paolantonio’s new book (excerpted here, here, and here) involves a bunch of hating.
Apparently teams other than the Texans do not need their draft picks to make progress.
