This week, I think I'd like to talk about a few of my favorite things. Let's start with fans. No, not the kind you use to keep cool in the heat or the kind of fan who cheers for the winning team. I'm talking super fans! The die-hard, take-no-mercy, live, breath and bleed football kind […]

And we're off! As I'm sure you're all aware, the 2012 NFL season got under way Wednesday, and the Cowboys walked away with a win against the Giants. As we are on the verge of our season opener, excitement is building. Our first game of the season is against the Denver Broncos at Denver, and […]
