Payton, Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints take their playoff push go to Texas Stadium on Sunday night for a pivotal game against Parcells, Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams are 8-4, leading their divisions and keeping an eye on playoff seeding. Because the winner of this game will be a step closer to a first-round bye, everyone is viewing it more as a showdown than a reunion for Payton and the folks who'v |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Tony Romo has obviously played well lately for the Dallas Cowboys. What Bill Parcells notices is that the quarterback is doing some of his best work late in games when it matters most. ``I've kind of been impressed with that aspect of it,'' Parcells said Wednesday. ``I have to tell you that.'' Romo is the NFL's top-rated quarterback with four straight victories that have given the Cowboys a two-game lead in the NFC East. His strong play late finally earned a compliment from the coac |

The 44-year-old last played in the league in 2005, appearing in five games for the Eagles.

IRVING, Texas (AP) -When Bill Parcells told the Dallas Cowboys what it takes to win a championship, Terrell Owens wasn't listening. ``The championship speech? I must have went to sleep on that one,'' T.O. said, laughing. Parcells gave his speech Monday, a day after a pivotal win in New York and hours before Owens flew to Los Angeles for an ostentatious 33rd birthday party he threw himself. All sorts of Hollywood types showed up and the Maloof family, owners of the Sacramento Kings, gave him a diamond-c |

| (MySportsbook) - Eyebrows were raised and even Terrell Owens had his own opinion about the move when Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells opted to release kicker Mike Vanderjagt last week and sign Martin Gramatica. Parcells probably wanted to kick his own rear end when he watched Gramatica push a 44-yard field goal attempt wide right early in Sunday's win over the rival New York Giants. Parcells then experienced substantial relief when Gramatica redeemed himself with three successful field goals, includ |

After a week of media scrutiny in regard to the previous week's Tennessee debacle, the Giants were ready to let out their frustrations Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. But the one Giant who needed to let off more steam, defensive end Michael Strahan, was not even in uniform. Strahan tested his injured foot in pre-game warmups, but was unable to take out any animosity that might have built up during the week. The |
