10. Only owner Jerry Jones can top his infamous “Glory hole” christening of camp. Monday he officially opened camp in Oxnard with a civic event that included the Cowboys Cheerleaders, 4 skydivers and Oxnard Mayor Thomas Holden calling Jason Garrett “Coach Payton.” But then, a year after defensive coordinator Rob Ryan made camp headlines by promising the Cowboys would “beat the *** of the all-hype team”, Jones took the microphone and encouraged California Cowboys fans to journey to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington to “watch us beat the Giants’ *****.” The Cowboys, who are 0-3 all-time versus the Giants in Cowboys Stadium, host the defending Super Bowl champs Oct. 28.

9. Happy 30th Birthday, DeMarcus Ware. Seems like he’s been around forever doesn’t it?

8. Shame on the 3 players – Andre Holmes, Brodney Pool and Felix Jones – for failing Sunday’s conditioning test. During their 6 weeks away from Valley Ranch after June’s minicamp they all fell out of shape. While Jones isn’t going anywhere, Pool and Holmes will fight for roster spots this summer. “With Holmes it’s very disappointing,” said Jerry Jones. “He left minicamp in great shape. As for Pool, he’s gotta get it done. He knew this was coming.” Jerry was also shocked by Felix’ failure. “It’s the complete antithesis of what Felix is all about. You have to shoot him to get him off the practice field.” All 3 are expected to miss Tuesday’s workouts as well.
