That’s a fact.Canton, OH does serve as the immortal home for various members of America’s Team, some of the original ones even. As the Cowboys are one of the NFL’s most historic and successful teams it’s understandable that the Hall would be decorated with their names and memories.The reality though is that there are a lot of Cowboys alumni who many feel have been left out of football’s most hallowed ground. Part of this is being rectified this summer with legendary front office man Gil Brandt’s enshrinement, but there are many players (a lot that Brandt himself found) that also deserve a bronze bust.It gets difficult for players to get into the Hall as they get older because competition is more stiff with senior nominees and plenty other nominees finding their way into the discussion sooner. The more time that passes between your retirement, the longer your odds become of ever getting enshrined. That could change next summer thanks to a “centennial class” that the Pro Football Hall of Fame might end up doing. Captain Crash is just one of many former Cowboys that are past due for their time in the Canton sun. Arguments can be made that Lee Roy Jordan, Chuck Howley
Youth Marcus Martin Jersey , Drew Pearson, and others (the argument is already made for Jimmy Johnson and Darren Woodson in modern days) should be in the Hall, if there’s an expanded class next summer that could be what helps finally get them in.Part of the unfortunate reality of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is that logjams are created. This happens by position, by generation, and sometimes even by team. If X is in then Y definitely should be, but if you’re going to put in Y then you can’t ignore Z. The arguments go round and round and round.Fortunately, it seems like the Hall is not only aware of this situation but proactive in rectifying it. The NFL is in fact celebrating their 100th season in 2019 so they could cap it off with a 100-sized (hopefully not literally) Pro Football Hall of Fame class on the eve of Super Bowl LIV (which the Cowboys will obviously be playing in!).Keep your fingers crossed for your favorite Cowboys legends. This could be the year that they hear their name called. And for once
Marcus Martin Jersey Stitched , that sentence actually has some serious hope. The NFL’s owners will get together later this month, and they’ll revisit the proposal from the Chiefs to guarantee a possession for the team that kicks off to start overtime, even if the team that gets the ball first scores a touchdown. Cowboys COO Stephen Jones, a member of the Competition Committee, addressed the proposed change during a Thursday visit to #PFTPM.“We hadn’t had our [Competition Committee] call yet, which we will, so it’s tough for me to know where the Committee’s leaning

I certainly watched every play of that Kansas City-New England game, and you kind of would have liked to have seen what would have happened if Kansas City got another shot at it, and then how the thing would have ended up. It was football, in my mind, the game at its best. I certainly don’t have a problem with guaranteeing each team a shot at it. . . . It’s certainly something that had some traction there in the room, and certainly saw some people who were very interested in it. But we’ll get on a call there, take a long

Although initially proposed for the regular season as well, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt suggested during a late-March visit to that the rule, if adopted, would apply to the postseason only.And that would be acceptable. Regular-season games already are long enough. Besides, a rule guaranteeing a second possession would incentivize milking the clock on the opening drive with the goal of leaving the opponent with little or no time to match a touchdown.
