Bill Parcells and Terrell Owens never hit it off in Dallas, but Cowboys coach Wade Phillips got along fine with the receiver. "Wade is a great coach," Owens told the Dallas Morning News. "Definitely when I was there, we made things work. We just didn't execute on the football field. There's a lot of things you can always point back to the coach, but the players are the ones that really make the things happen on the football field. Bottom line, we didn't get it done."

Terrell Owens made his personal Farewell to Dallas tour this week, just a few months after the Cowboys released him. "I miss Dallas, but I have a new team," Owens said. "It's already behind me." Owens hosted 150 kids in his fourth annual two-day summer football camp. Dallas owner Jerry Jones has said Owens was cut to help establish Tony Romo as the team's unquestioned leader. Owens said Romo could've established himself before but "that didn't happen." "So I will be the scapegoat," T.O. said. "I'm not here any more and I wish him well."

A trio of Dallas offensive lineman have signed a record deal with a heavy metal label. Leonard Davis, Marc Colombo and Cory Procter are part of a heavy metal band called Free Reign. Their debut album for Australia's Riot Entertainment will be released this fall. "Free Reign is a band with massive potential," Riot owner John Howarth said Tuesday. "There has been an enormous buzz surrounding them since they appeared on the scene a few months ago. Free Reign has already been flooded with endorsements. Their marketing potential is limitless. These guys are already huge sports stars, but they have shown they have the talent to diversify."

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn't believe that his team took a step back in the talent department when they let Terrell Owens go. "If I look at who's going to be on the field, if we don't have to make adjustments because of injuries, we'll be a more talented team," Jerry said. "When I look at what we've substituted in there for the players who have left, I don't think we have stepped back in our talent at all. "Frankly, the most basic reason that I changed my mind regarding Terrell Owens was the ability to maximize the potential of Roy Williams, Miles Austin, Sam Hurd, the running backs and our tight ends. That was the most fundamental thing."

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has denied a report that the team is concerned with his offseason conditioning work. The Forth Worth Star-Telegram reported on Wednesday that offensive coordinator Jason Garrett had a meeting with Romo telling him that he had to get in better shape. "There was no such meeting," Romo said. "We live in a world where it's sensationalized. When you see something or hear something, you write it. That's completely false."

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo said on Monday that the highlight reel plays don't win Super Bowls. "Highlight reels don't win championships. They don't. The boring plays win championships," Romo told the Dallas Morning News. "Those are the things that win championships, and those are the things that we're going to try and do better next season."

The Cowboys scouting assistant that was paralyzed when the team's practice facility collapsed last month attended the start of minicamp. Rich Behm, paralyzed from the waist down, sat in the press box Monday. Coach Wade Phillips says he believes that Behm is going to be able to start coming to work, which the coach calls "good news for all of us."

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo won't be following in the footsteps of Emmitt Smith anytime soon. "He's got more guts than I do," Romo told US Weekly. "I'll leave that that up to him. I would just embarrass myself." Smith is a past winner on ABC's 'Dancing With The Stars.'

The Cowboys reportedly knew when they hired Summit Structures LLC to build their practice facility that a similar structure had collapsed in a storm. A Philadelphia port official made the claim. The similar structure, built for the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority, also suffered damage. Greg Iannarelli, the port authority's chief counsel, said he was contacted by a Cowboys official not long after the structure collapsed during a snowstorm in February 2003. Iannarelli said the Cowboys were considering using Summit and were concerned.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has denied reported interest in bringing back cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. "I have no plans to bring Adam back," Jones said in a statement on Monday afternoon. There had been reports out of Dallas that Jones hadn't ruled out the idea of bringing back the corner.
