Derek 's Fans (8)
Derek 's Bio
I was born in New York City and lived there until I was 18 years old. I grew up a huge Yankees, Knicks and Avalanche fan and still am to this day. After high school I attended Penn State University where I learned my appreciation for Sports Journalism and College Football (Seriously there's nothing like State College on a fall Saturday) Now in addition to writing for the Bleacher Report I'm setting up my own basketball blog..

Is there an excuse left for Romo and the Cowboys as to why they can't win when it counts? No more excuses left:

Dallas Cowboy community:
It is not too late to make a difference!
You can help. Please give a read and "pay this forward" Some things are bigger than sports.

I have a cowboys board/fan forum..http://www.cowboyspride.net/forum/index.php. I was wondering if I could rss feed your stuff....just a small blurb usually comes thru the title, and the link. And share your stuff and maybe help get it out. I just don't like to use the rss option without introducing myself. You're a terrific writer. IF you decide it's all cool....if you sign up at the site...then the feed will come thru any name you sign up or I can make an account I reckon
but this is what an rss feed looks like on our end..http://www.cowboyspride.net/forum/showthread.php?t=65844
Cuz I know you are protective of your stuff...if I could write I would be.
