KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) -DeMarcus Ware had an extra spring in his step during the NFC's Pro Bowl practice on Thursday. He had just found out Wade Phillips will be his next coach with the Dallas Cowboys - which might mean Ware will be the NFL's next Shawne Merriman. Meanwhile, Frank Gore was just as excited to hear Norv Turner won't be leaving him for Dallas after all. The Dallas linebacker and the San Francisco running back both got what they wanted out of the Cowboys' coaching search, which ended with |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -The Dallas Cowboys hired Wade Phillips as their new coach Thursday to replace the retired Bill Parcells.

KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) -Though the Pro Bowl is usually short on drama, there's a good reason to watch until the end this year: Tony Romo will be holding for the NFC's kicks. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback gets his first chance Saturday to play after his infamous playoff flub on a short field goal late in the Cowboys' loss at Seattle. From that moment, Romo couldn't wait to get back on the field - and he's been all smiles at practice this week, soaking up the sunshine and his new teammates. ``It's always |

When asked his chances of becoming defensive coordinator, Rivera said: ``I am here to discuss being the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.'' Rivera likely has an idea of what it would be like to work for Turner because he's worked alongside Turner's brother, Ron, the Bears' offensive coordinator.

DALLAS (AP) -Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman hope the Dallas Cowboys find the coach that can take the team where the Hall of Fame quarterbacks often did: deep into the postseason. ``There's enough talent now to have a good ending to this decade,'' Staubach said Monday. ``This will be the first decade we haven't (won) in the playoffs if we don't do something ... there is talent on this team.'' Staubach and Aikman are the quarterbacks who led the Cowboys to their five Super Bowl titles. But the last was 1 |

MIAMI (AP) -Michael Irvin was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday despite a troubled past, though voters denied entry to retired NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue. The former Dallas Cowboys receiver, who won three Super Bowls in the 1990s, got in on his third try. Irvin pleaded no contest in 1996 to felony cocaine possession. Four years later, he was arrested on drug possession charges, but they were later dropped. The 40 Hall voters were criticized by two of Irvin's former teammates, |
