No, he didn't. But he thought he was a goner when saw an empty locker where he used to make his Valley Ranch home.

"This is an eviction," he said from his new locker across the room.

Some dastardly defensive dudes made a deal with the equipment men. They'd boot Cricket, who has a reputation for being a little rowdy, to the far side of the room in exchange for a flat-screen TV being installed in their corner.

Cricket is no longer within earshot of the equipment room, and a TV should soon be in the vacant locker between Tank Johnson and Adam "Pacman" Jones.

After realizing that the paychecks would keep coming, Cricket was fine with his relocation. He's right next to RB Marion "The Barbarian" Barber. WR Patrick Crayton is a few stalls down, and they're surrounded by a bunch of offensive linemen.

"This is where I belong," Cricket said. "I feel like I'm home now. I'm finally home."

I remember on HBO hardknocks that T O was saying we can move someones lockerroom and have a tv entertainment center right there, guess they got cricket.

look for him to get them back in some way too.

Imagine the horror on fullback Deon Anderson's face when he walked into the lockerroom on Monday and saw that his stuff had removed from his locker. He is the team's starting fullback. But Anderson, a fifth round pick last year, thought the worst. He thought he had been cut.

But no, Anderson had not been cut. He had been evicted from his locker area by teammates Tank Johnson, Pacman Jones and Ken Hamlin. Anderson is part rowdy, goofy and too touchy feely for Jones and Hamlin, who cut a deal with the equipment managers.

They would supply the equipment room with a flat screen television if Anderson was relocated to another part of the locker room.

The trio is also putting a television a play station unit in their corner of the locker room _ in the locker vacated by receiver Danny Amendola. When Amendola was signed back to the practice squad after being cut on Saturday, he was moved to another part of the lockerroom.

I do not know if I like 3 guys who have not been part of the team even 2 years yet deciding that Cricket is not cool enough to hang out with them.

Who cares ? They are established playas he isn't yet...

Pac and Tank are not even starting.

Anderson is.

I have no problem with Pac or Tank .... I was ok with both coming here.

Just do not think they should be dictating locker room justice till they have some time as Cowboys.

It sounds like the equipment guys didn't want him near their room either.

Zrinkill is right! Pacman's been getting fed Gerber by T.O and Brandon Marshall all summer. He needs to worry about other things. Also saw a video of Tank standing Bennett up on a chair in front of the whole team asking him ridiculous questions that Bennett had to answer. I understand that rookie's get hazed a bit but Tank and that 500K minimum salary can be let go of at any time, Bennett eventhough he hasn't proven squat either has a signing bonus and makes more than Tank as it stands.

I like having Tank and Pacman but they should be expressing more leadership skills than dictating where a "team player" like Cricket sits. If Cricket likes his new spot better and he feels it will make him more productive than so be it but Tank and Pac should worry about frying bigger fish, like becoming starters.

I think Anderson is going to be even better in 2008 we saw a little of what he can do before injury last year... I believe Dallas loves his work ethic and passion for the game.

he was probably ****ing w/ the equipment

I love Cricket, he reminds me of a much bigger, darker and professional me
