For those few (out of towners?) who don't look at the Dallas Morning News blog, I had to post this gem:

BLOGGER'S NOTE: FB Deon "Cricket" Anderson might be the Cowboys' most entertaining character, so I figured it'd be fun to give the dude a diary. He'll discuss whatever is on his wacky mind in Cricket's Chirps, which will run every Saturday throughout the season. He felt the need to explain his funky running motion this week after T.O. poked fun at it on Hard Knocks:
"T.O., you know, he's a vet in the game. He's a little older. I'm the new, modern-aged athlete. There's a bit more technique that I use.
"It's like, if you were to run through water, how would you use your arms? You'd pump your arms. That's what I'm doing. I'm pumping my arms, but at the same time, I'm gathering wind with my hands and pushing back.
"I'm swimming. It's almost like I'm swimming through air.
"The waddle throws the defenders off. When I come up on them, they don't know whether I'm going left or right. When I'm waddling, they're just stationary. I've got them flat-footed. And I've got a quick first step, so whenever I decide, they're too late.
"The gathering of the forearms is called the strike-before-getting-struck technique. The false conception is that people think the defenders hit offense. No. Hmmm-mmm! As a fullback, I hit them first. That's why I'm good at what I do, because I tend to attack before I get attacked.
"There's a method behind the madness ... and I've perfected it."
