THIS WEEK'S MATCH UP

VS

Dallas @ Philadelphia December 28, 2008 (Sunday) 12:00 PM CDT FOX/Directv 711

    Wade Phillips lead our Cowboys last season to a 13-3 Record with a record 13 Pro Bowlers on the roster.  Well, guess what?  All 13 Pro Bowlers return this season along with some key off season aquisitions to make the Cowboys the favorite to win the Superbowl this year.  All Pro QB Tony Romo and cast start the quest for our 6th Vince Lombardy throphy and close out the Texas Stadium era as we begin to move into our new home in Arlington, Texas.  Up and coming coaching sensation Jason Garrett returns also to guide the powerful Cowboys offense in 2008.

    Whether it was QB Roger Staubach leading our team or QB Danny White or the greatest Cowboy QB of all time Troy Aikman, this team has had great quarterbacks, and this season is no different.  This year, Pro Bowl QB Tony Romo leads our new offense, patented by former Cowboys QB and current Offensive Coordinator, Jason Garrett.  Romo had 36 TDs in 2007.  Former Pro Bowl QB Brad Johnson gives us depth as our #2 QB.

    A good passing attack also needs the receiving end as well.  The Cowboys have the best duo of receivers in the league.  The league's top WR, Terrell Owens returns this season to pick up where he left off last season when he scored the most TDs among any WR.  WR Patrick Crayton offers Romo another option for the deep threat or that slant pass.   Many argue that Crayton might have the best hands on this team.

    All Pro RB Marion Barber returns to the team after signing a huge off season contract.  His punishing attack on opposing defenses are further strengthened by quite possible the greatest offensive line in the league today.  Flozell "Hotel" Adams, Kyle Koshier, and Andre Gurode return to anchor the line.  We also have a good rookie RB in Felix Jones.

    This should be another great year for TE Jason Witten.  Last season, Jason Witten made the Pro Bowl, and this season he should emerge again this season as the league's top TE and make another Pro Bowl.

    The new 3-4 base defense is now fully in place.  OLB Demarcus Ware has shown last season that he is the next Charles Haley.  Moreover, CB Terrance Newman looks more confident as he has veteren CB Anthony Henry on the other side to shut down the passing attack.  SS Roy Williams should have another Pro Bowl season as he shuts down the run and helps in pass defense.  Pro Bowl FS Ken Hamlin is back also.  I can't wait to see those hard hits he will be providing on Eagle and Giants players!  CB Adam "Pac Man" Jones joins us along with rookie CB Mike Jenkins.  LB Zack Crockett joins us too this season to bolster our strong group of line backers.

    Since 1960, the Dallas Cowboys have been committed to winning  in the National Football League.  Having appeared in the most playoff games and Superbowls of any NFL team, the Cowboys have proven themselves by winning five NFL championships including being the only team to win three Superbowls in 4 years.  Cowboy greats such as QB Roger Stauback, RB Tony Dorsett, WR Michael Irvin, and RB Herschel Walker still instill fear into NFL defensive players.  Furthermore, who could forgot the presence that Head Coach Tom Landry had on this team. However, our defense should not be ignored either.  The Cowboys have also boasted good defenses with greats like DE Charles Haley, DT Leon Lett, DE Tony Tolbert, DT Russell Maryland, CB Larry Brown, and CB Deion Sanders among others. 

    In 1989, the Cowboys embarked on a new path to excellence as Jerry Jones bought the team and stadium for around $170 million dollars.  Today, the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world!  Jones brought in coaches like Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, who all left Dallas with a Superbowl Ring.  They drafted a dominant team comprised of players like All Pro QB Troy Aikman, All Pro RB Emmitt Smith, DT Leon Lett, and All Pro OG Larry Allen.  Jimmy Johnson put together one of the best offensive lines in the history of football, which was one of the keys of our success in the 90s.  All of our linemen were Pro Bowlers including OG Larry Allen, OT Erik Williams, OT Mark Tuinei, OG Nate Newton, and C Mark Stepnowski.  The Cowboys also signed key free agents such as Pro Bowl TE Jay Novacek, #1 CB Deion Sanders, and All Pro DE Charles Haley.  Wade Phillips and Offensive Coordinator Jason Garrett are brought together this season to bring the Boys back to the Superbowl!

    Since 1996, www.anirbanroy.org (official web site of Anirban Roy) has provided Cowboy fans with a home on the Internet for the latest scores, stats, and news about our historic franchise.  Living in "Whiner Country," I was sick of the all of the 49er and Raiders crap on our local media.  The Bay Area (CA) has the most pathetic sports franchises in the country.  I had to do something to show my Texas Pride so I created this web site.  We are also famous for our "My Beloved Superbowl Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders" site, which features the most beautiful women in the world!  Two years ago, one of the rookie cheerleaders found our site and emailed us about how our web site rocks! 

    Welcome back to another year at My Beloved Superbowl Dallas Cowboys!  The whole staff here at www.anirbanroy.org is excited to update this site on a regular basis and give you the latest Cowboys news this year.  May God Bless our Cowboys, The Great State of Texas, and our country.

    Also, this is my 2nd season of having Directv's NFL Sunday Ticket at home.  For those of you Cowboy fans who live outside the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, this is the best option for us to watch our team at home.  Sure, it is expensive, but when you look at it, life is short - so watch Cowboys football as much as you can!

TEXAS PRIDE
