With Super Bowl in town, Cowboys hurt more

DALLAS -- Cowboys are everywhere throughout North Texas as Super Bowl XLV festivities kickoff this week and the thought of not being in the game is hitting home more now than it did after the Jan. 2 regular-season finale.

“It’s hard to watch it and look at other teams out there,” running back Tashard Choice said. “That feeling you want to keep that to motivate you so you can be there. But it’s hard being here seeing Super Bowl things and the people coming to the city of Dallas. It’s a good thing but it would’ve been better if we were in the game.”

Choice and Felix Jones were part of Visa’s Financial Football seminar on Monday in which they played a game against Chicago’s Matt Forte and Lance Briggs with students from two high schools. The game, which had the teams answering finance questions, ended in an 8-8 tie with the Cowboys having a field goal miss wide to the right.

Given the 6-10 finish to their season, that seemed almost fitting.

I hope Jerry hurts the most.

This handwringing needs to stop. Just deal with it Cowboy Nation.

Good, glad it hurts them.

I hope instead of words this next season, they actually pull their head outta their asses and play balls out angry football.

I can't fault the players like that. They aren't put in a position to win.

Let's see the Steelers go through a few years of Jerry Jones and Wade Phillips. I highly doubt they'd be playing in a Super Bowl this Sunday.

I know we have personnel shortcomings but I don't think that's the only reason we don't win. In fact, I don't think it's the biggest reason.

I can fault the players and the organization. This isn't the first time these players have played. They know what they have to do. Sure, they weren't coached well. Still, it falls on them too.
