Former Troy teammates DeMarcus Ware and Osi Umenyiora just joined Rich Eisen and Marshall Faulk on the NFL Total Access set, and Ware had a special message for his old buddy. "I’m happy for him, because he’s my boy," Ware said. "But I feel like they stole that ring from us." Umenyiora was quick to offer up a consolation -- "They’re playing their Super Bowl tomorrow," he responded, alluding to the Cowboys baker's dozen in Hawaii. Ware was in Arizona last week, before Umenyiora won his, and he knew what was coming after it went down. "I knew I’d be the first person he’d call after the game. And right after the game, 10 minutes after the game was over, he calls me," Ware said. "He called me and said, ‘Do you know what it feels like be a champion?’ I said no. He’s like, ‘Guess what? I am one.’" In other gripping Pro Bowl news, we just spotted Terrell Owens wearing an Eagles visor during the NFC walkthrough. Stop the presses! |

Why do the NFL media hate the cowboys so much? I was watching NFL Network's Sounds of the Year. They were doing "Fantastic Finishes" and you think they show either Dallas beating Buffalo with that last second FG(s) by Folk or Witten catching the game saving TD in the Lions game. But no!! They instead they show Romo throw the last second INT in the playoff game. Typical media buffoons

ZORN ! Jim frickin Zorn ! Hah ! What a comedy. RedSkinneds_Rule, ya'll are THE Animal House of NFL franchises, lead by the laughingstock of the league Danie Boy Scneidley.
"Oh, Dannieee-Boy,
the pipes, the pipes,
are call-ing !"
And that "we're 1 uppin' yadayadayada"..well, you're more dumb than WE thought. You think Dan is
doing anything but getting a fall guy in place so he can get Bill Cowlick next year. What an idiot !

Timmy Mac,
I thought you had my back. That just IS NOT fair.We want to win, too. Now I am as big a laughingstock as Dan and The RedSkineds are. Now people are putting words in my mouth and I am not happy.
Okay, it's confession time. Dan sux. Jason sux(but he's had a new OC every other year),THE WHOLE DAMNED FRANCHISE SUCKS.
Wait until Jimbo Zorn fings out what he's walking in to. Cap issues/personnel issues/coach issues.
Looks like it'll be AT LEAST 1 more year before we start that rebuilding project.
"Hell hath no fury like that womanly Zorn !"

Yeah they stole the ring.
The Giants kept playing after Thanksgiving, unlike the Cowboys.

Hell, the Giants didn't steal anything! We choked! Our coaching sucked, we played soft, and they wanted it more than we did. Ware will have his last laugh...I just hope Wade "soft cookie" Phillips coaches with more intensity next year cause 13-done is not an accomplishment, I'd rather go 1-15 like Jimmy Johnson did and beat the then undefeated Super Bowl bound Redskins, than choke! The 90's team played with pride! Nobody played with pride in 2007! It was all a smoke screen!

Cowboy fans - The jury is still out on Romo. He will look good as long as Owens can perform at his current level. Without Owens your skill position players are no better than average. Can Barber carry 20 times a game. Does a tight end catching 100 passes get you to the Super bowl? Double up on Owens and then play everyone else man/man.

Umm Giants fan from VA. Didn't your team just win a SuperBowl with average skill position players? Plexiglass had like 3 catches in the SuperBowl, Brandon Jacobs is Fragile and has not proven he can carry the ball 20 times a game. Your TE has a big mouth and is also always hurt. I understand Eli just won MVP of the game but lets be honest if you had to pick between Romo or Eli to be the QB of your team 90% of the people would pick Romo. It is real easy to throw jabs now but I believe at the beginning of the year all the Giants fans wanted was a real QB and a decent coach. It is amazing how things have changed all of the sudden...

The giants did not steal a ring from the cowboys. They earned it. They simply played as well or better than everyone they faced in the post season. While I did not expect them to go all the way, I certainly knew they were playoff caliber and felt they should have won one of the regular season games against the cowboys. Oh well 1 post season win trumps 2 regular season wins every day! The Giants are not as average as some cowboy fans think - stable coaching staff (now) with a young but experienced roster that is more talented and deep than they are given credit for. Anyway....Next season should be fun for both of us since I believe it is solely between the Giants and Cowboys in the NFC.

As a Cowboys fan the only thing I can say is... that statement is 100% correct.
We quit playing well after the GB game... starting believing thier own hype.. lesson learned. You have to play all 16 games...
