Worst city to play in would be Philly. They hate us up there but hatred is a good thing. When you're hated you know it's from years of winning. On the way to the stadium as we drive past the parking lot you will see a wave of batteries, eggs, and maybe even a brick or two flying toward the bus window. Those Philly fans gotta love em.

Best car would have to be a RR Phantom I would prefer not to say who owns it. I am also a fan of the Bentley GT.

If I were a betting man I would say the media gets misinformation all the time. Myself personally I just won't answer the question or do the interview, before I lie to them.

The rookies have to get Gatorades, towels, socks, shoes, pretty much anything we need especially during camp. They occasionally have to make a trip to POPEYE's and IN AND OUT during camp as well. Of course the infamous rookie dinner and at least one trip to the ice tub is about all the hazing they get.

Cowboys MVP Tony Romo and the entire O- Line. N

There is a stigma about having Hard Knocks at camp (you know what I'm talking about), me I really don't care.

Every day I talk to Max and Camps about putting in a few plays where I play safety. I'm putting my bid in early.

The number one thing that bothers me when people find out I'm a football they ask me "well who are you" instead asking my name. Better example is would you walk up to a complete stranger on the street and say "hey who are you", probably not. I just ask to be treated like you would treat anyone else and I will do anything for you. Now on the other hand if you just walk up to me telling me you're a huge fan then you call me Bradie James or DeMarcus I might just walk right by you. I have had this happen to me before and after every game and one game I actually counted how many times it happened. 25+ times I was called DeMarcus not that its bad thing I think he is a great player; it's sort of damns who I am. Other than that I will sign just about anytime I don't mind because my kids might be doing it one day.

TEAM LEADER ? Definitely Patrick Crayton, he really get's us involved in games by talking trash through the media and then laying an egg..
You can't put a price on that kind of leadership.

its pretty funny.

I like to get to the stadium early and watch some of the guys come in for a few. This happens all the time. When most guys come in the fans have no idea who they are.

Last year before the packers game I was over at the players lot taking pictures and Todd Bowles was dropped off by his wife/girlfriend and then walked to the table to have his bag checked and like 100 people were yelling demarcus demarcus demarcus. Bowles just looked up and smiled!!!

Pretty funny. it happens to the offensive lineman all the time. Nearly every game for warmups when james marten and corey procter were out there I would hear hey theres columbo and kosier.....no one ever knows who the lineman are....except flo and leonard. That is only because they are enormous.

I'm still trying to figure out how someone would mistake him for a football.

Wilson the volleyball, maybe, but not a football.

I can see a Bradie comparinson, but not Ware at all. Well, not even Bradie. Some people are just stupid.

Another good read.

Fans really need to find out who the players are before they try to get an autograph.

It’s amazing how many Cowboy fans don’t know whos who. When i was watching them walk in from the parking lot, id yell out a name and everyone would jump in. I am sure i made a few mistakes, lol.

Ware

Bald-headed and dark-skinned. Yep they look alike.
They all look the same with helmets on - only numbers separate them.

For the average fan, they see a tall, athletic young black man coming down the hallway, they're taking a shot it's DeMarcus Ware, lol. I bet more than a few people asked Jay Novacek for Troy Aikman's autograph.

Ware and KB, maybe. Bradie, not so much.

A very good post. Blindness and/or ignorance are the only explanations for mistaken identity.

Ware and KB do look twins. Good call on that one. I guess height difference may seperate them.

Without anything obstructing their faces, they look nothing alike. Not even close.

I hope this is really just a case of needing new glasses.

You guys are good. I went to the team web site, and couldn't identify Free, Martin, Colombo, Procter, Berger. If McQuistan still has the hair, I'm in good shape. Jessica is a different story.
