Jerry Jones says Cowboys should be 'inspired after this win'
By Brad Biggs | National Football Post
Jerry Jones backed up the chatter.
It was in July that the Dallas Cowboys owner said “ya’ll should come to Cowboys Stadium and watch us beat the Giants’ asses,” during a ceremony at the start of training camp.
The Cowboys defeated those Giants 24-17 on Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium.
“I can’t tell you the respect we have for them,” Jones said after the victory, according to the Dallas Morning News. “To get out of here with this win is very meaningful to us and our season. I’m sure proud of these guys right here. We were the underdogs.”
Underdogs? Sure. The Giants went off as a four-point favorite in the game but it’s not like Jones’ team was an overwhelming underdog. It was an important win for the Cowboys, though. If they had lost, certainly Jones’ comments would have been re-hashed.
“We certainly weren’t proud of the last time we were up here,” Jones said of a game the team blew. “It is really special. Our team should really be able to be inspired after this win.”

Cowboys WR Bryant close to plea deal
By The Sports Xchange | The SportsXchange
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is closing in on a plea deal related to his arrest on charges that he assaulted his mother, according to 105.3 The Fan radio in Dallas.
The radio station reported Friday that lawyers representing Bryant met with the Dallas County District Attorney's office this week and Bryant will plead guilty to a reduced Class C misdemeanor for family violence and will not face jail time or probation but will pay a $500 fine and attend anger management classes.
Bryant was originally charged with a Class A misdemeanor that could result in a $4,000 fine and up to a year in jail.
The wide receiver was arrested July 16 after an altercation with his mother, Angela. The Dallas Morning News had reported that she signed an affidavit that she did not want her son to be prosecuted.
The district attorney's office and Bryant's attorney, state Sen. Royce West, could not be reached for comment.
Even if Bryant did not plead guilty, he still could have been subject to the NFL's personal conduct policy.

McGee makes final case for Cowboys' No. 3 QB
McGee makes final case for Cowboys' No. 3 QB: "ARLINGTON, Texas — Stephen McGee may not have won the Cowboys' No. 3 quarterback job Wednesday night, but he didn't lose it, either.
If the Cowboys keep a third quarterback, it will be McGee. He started and played the entire first half of Wednesday's JV scrimmage of a preseason game against the Dolphins. The Cowboys won, 30-13.
Because the game was played just four days after the third preseason game, and just seven days before the season opener at the Giants, there wasn't anything on the line but the final roster spots. McGee will likely make the cut once again.
It's hard to imagine the Cowboys not having a third quarterback, although with one of the better backup quarterbacks in the league in Kyle Orton, there's always a chance the third QB could be sacrificed for a deficiency in another area. 'via Blog this'

Cowboys 30, Dolphins 13
A week before playing in the NFL's kickoff game against the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants, the Cowboys (3-1) kept quarterback Tony Romo and most of their front-line starters standing on the sideline.
Rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the first-round draft pick from Texas A&M already tabbed Miami's starter, was 5-of-7 passing for 35 yards playing the first two series. The Dolphins led 3-0 when he was done.
Miami (0-4) finished its preseason winless under new coach Joe Philbin. The season opener is Sept. 9 at Houston.
Undrafted rookie running back Lance Dunbar had 15 carries for 105 yards, including a 58-yard TD run, for Dallas in the third quarter. Tanner started with DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones sitting, and finished with nine carries for 48 yards.
