Ahh come on you don't have an old Marion Barber jersey?? LOL Well, the economy sucks, so go out and buy a new jersey! Someone has to spend those dollars.

I wonder if it would be cheaper to buy a new jersey or have a new name sewen on the back of my old Barber jersey?

Think I'll just go buy a Dez jersey...He should be around for awhile.

I still have the 88 Jersey when Antonio "Bryant" was with us...... no name change needed for our new star 88 Dez "Bryant"

I will get a Tanner jersey. Been my pet cat since May. He is going to be special.

I remember seeing $10 jerseys after Antonio was cut. If I had only known I could have stockpiled and then re-sold them, ha.

I have a Carpenter 54 jersey. Any takers out there?

For us OLD FARTS, the implication of Albright wearing #55 brought back CHILLS of the our old middle linebacker, LeRoy Jordan, making plays all over the field. LeRoy was a real cowboy and a real man back in the day. I'm hoping Albright brings HONOR to that football jersey number!!!!

Just cross out the "pen" and you have your new Bruce Carter jersey.

I still think anyone wearing number 54 is pretentious. Cowboys should retire jerseys.

Tanner is 24? Thought I read where Fiametta is wearing 24, which would be unusual for a fullback. Maybe it was a typo.
