Do Aliens Love Football? Two UFO Sightings Explained By Benjamin Radford, Life's Little Mysteries Contributor 03 November 2011 10:23 AM ET Who knew extraterrestrials were football fans? -SNIP- About a week earlier, a bright light was spotted by a television viewer of "Sunday Night Football". The viewer, identified only as by his "reedickyaluss" YouTube profile name, had noticed something odd during the broadcast: During an intro shot of the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans, a bright light streaked across the night sky. He replayed the scene a few times on his TiVo, and posted the video on YouTube.

This past week, a fantastic rock video was released that, aside from getting your toe tappin---it reminds us 'freedom-loving Americans'  that, "we ain't played cowboys and communists yet" Enjoy "Cowboys & Communists" from JoeDanMedia & Crank it.YouTube Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFKkSv6mcLc

The words on Joe Dan's newest song are fantastic, and the graphics are great. He's taking on the Dems, Communists, Teamsters, SIEU and all the others who accuse the conservatives of wrongdoing. "In a blink of an eye we're surrounded by the enemy. They're feeding Christians to the lions on your TV. With my final breath I spit at thee Give me liberty or give me death. Saddle up that horse You know it's time to ride. Keep that six gun Strapped to your side. Sometimes we live, Sometimes we die. It's a cowgirl moon tonight... So let's play Cowboys...

So i'm at the game last night- starting my 31st consecutive season attending every Jets home game- and in the middle of the ceremonies they announce, "here for the coin flip, the 43rd POTUS, George" i jump out of my seat and begin yelling "yeh W!!! yeh W!!!" (sadly i must've looked like my 8YO daughter at a Justin Bieber concert)...I heard a large roar from most of the stadium- a few boos, though that's when he was talking to Romo...even later, in the 2nd half when they showed the clips, one of GWB walking to midfield there was applause...

Commentary: Let's quit acting like Cowboys are special by Mac Engel tengel@ star-telegram.com ARLINGTON -- Today's TV viewing possibilities include a program on how to make a bacon-flavored cake, even Texas Longhorns women's soccer, and on and on. Yet despite this inundation of non-essentials, television remains America's great validator. ---snip--- The fact that 11 of the Cowboys' 16 games are in a "prime" or featured time speaks to their ability to play the role of Lindsay Lohan in the NFL's regular-season TV production. She, and they, used to be so hot, and now they're just a wreck we love to...

From "comment" in The New Yorker by Lawrence Wright: "Perry is the first graduate of Texas A & M to govern Texas. When he was a freshman, in 1968, the student body looked much like him: white, male, determinedly rural.... At A & M, Perry ran the winning campaign of his friend John Sharp for student-body president. In response, Sharp got his friend elected one of the campus’s five “yell leaders”—male cheerleaders. Perry considered being a yeller the higher office. A typical yell is: “Squads left! Squads right! / Farmers, farmers, we’re all right! / Load, ready, aim, fire, boom!”...

Pee-wee Herman made a surprise appearance at Dallas Cowboys training camp on Thursday night and posed for pictures with various front office members, coaches and players. No reason was given for the visit, so we'll assume it's because he was invited by Dez Bryant(notes).

Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams is going to court to get back the $76,000 engagement ring he gave to a former beauty pageant winner. In February, Williams proposed to his girlfriend, Brooke Daniels. When she turned him down, Daniels didn't return the ring. According to Williams' affidavit that was filed in a Texas court last week, he asked for the ring back but was told by Daniels that she had lost it. An insurance investigation later revealed that Daniels' father was in possession of the ring.

How mean-spirited are House Republicans? So mean-spirited that they would end federally funded cowboy poetry! Tuesday, Harry Reid, Majority Leader, took to the Senate floor to thunder that this town ain't big enough for both him and the Mean-Spirited Kid (John Boehner). "The mean-spirited bill, HR 1 ... eliminates National Endowment of the Humanities, National Endowment of the Arts," said Reid. "These programs create jobs. The National Endowment of the Humanities is the reason we have in northern Nevada every January a cowboy poetry festival. Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there...

Rally to support Egyptian people is scheduled for Super Bowl Sundayby Sarah Blaskovich Thursday, February 3, 2011 The Muslim American Society of Dallas/Ft. Worth is hosting "Super Rally for Solidarity with the People of Egypt" from 2-6 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday. Organizers will stake out in a pretty visible spot: between Cowboys Stadium and the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, at the intersection of E Randol Mill Rd. & Legends Way. But there will be so much traffic, you say! Ralliers can park at one of two places: Masjid Al-Salam at 500 Road to Six Flags West in Arlington; or...

Days before he's set to call his third Super Bowl for FOX, Troy Aikman confirmed on Wednesday that he and his wife of 10 years have split. People.com first reported the breakup of the Hall of Fame quarterback and his wife, Rhonda. Aikman later confirmed it to the Dallas Morning News: "This has been a difficult decision for Rhonda and me, but after 10 years of marriage we have decided to separate," he told the newspaper. "We remain deeply committed to our children and respectfully ask that you honor our family's privacy during this period of adjustment."

Austin, TX - Two men charged with driving while intoxicated had their charges reduced to public intoxication after police arrested them for riding a horse and donkey down 6th Street. Jose Rios, 33, and Samuel Olivo Jr., 48, were caught riding a horse and donkey in the 300 block of E. 6th Street while intoxicated. The two were coaxing people on the street to come, take pictures and pet their horse and donkey. Officers say the two were impeding traffic and could have caused an accident.

Tony Romo may not be making many headlines on the field this season, but that isn't stopping him from making news off of it. The Cowboys QB got engaged to his girlfriend Candice Crawford earlier tonight, according to KDAF-TV in Dallas. The couple was reportedly celebrating Crawford's 24th birthday with her family at Five Sixty at the time of the proposal. Crawford, 2008's Miss Missouri, is an anchor for KDAF-TV.

A few years ago, the subject of Don Meredith came up on The Ticket - I don’t remember why - and Mike Rhyner spent the better part of an hour, maybe more talking about Dandy Don, his tenure here with the Cowboys, and his eventual departure. Being a Cowboys fan since I was old enough to have a cheap plastic way too big Cowboys helmet bounce around on my head and rest on my shoulders, I was fascinated by what Rhynes had to say. I remember Mr. Meredith as an announcer, but not as a player. I kinda knew the...

Don Meredith, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback who served as a folksy foil for Howard Cosell on ABC's ''Monday Night Football'' and helped carve out the niche for colorful ex-athlete broadcasters, has died. ''Dandy Don,'' as he was known, was 72. Meredith's wife, Susan, told The Associated Press her husband died Sunday in Santa Fe after suffering a brain hemorrhage and lapsing into a coma. She and her daughter were at Meredith's side when he died. ''He was the best there was,'' she said Monday, describing him as kind, warm and funny. ''We lost a good one.''

These are heady times for schadenfreude buffs. People who take delight in the misfortunes of others, and particularly those who love to see the high and mighty taken down a peg or two, are having a field day. Barack Obama just got his head handed to him in the midterm elections. Nancy Pelosi has been knocked from her perch. The Democratic party has taken more hits than Humpty Dumpty. If you're the kind of person who likes to see the tall poppies cut down to size, this is your year. This is not only true in the field of politics....

The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly done this week what everyone expected them to do: Fire Wade Phillips. Bill Jones of CBS-11 in Dallas reports the Cowboys head coach was fired on Monday after his team suffered a humiliating 45-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday Night Football. This move was expected by many as multiple reports surfaced following the game that Phillips was unlikely to make it through the week. Phillips' certainly deserved this fate after the Cowboys started the season 1-7.

America's Team?!?!? heck they're not even the Metroplex's team now......Go Rangers!

Life has been so busy lately with family, church, working on my website, that I have barely taken time to notice how terrible the Dallas Cowboys are doing this year. I have yet to watch one game because I know they are losing and I hate to watch them lose. I don't have time to invest in a losing team. That could be why I have not been interested in the Texas Rangers. While growing up in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, I remember the Dallas Cowboys winning more games than they lost. I remember the excitement. I remember the Cowboys...

HOUSTON -- Jerry Jones can exhale, at least for now. So can Wade Phillips. Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes to Roy E. Williams, Marion Barber ran for another score, and the Dallas Cowboys got their first win by beating the Houston Texans 27-13 on Sunday. The Cowboys' defense got its first three takeaways of the season and held Houston's top-ranked offense to 340 yards. DeMarcus Ware sacked Matt Schaub three times, and the Dallas secondary limited All-Pro receiver Andre Johnson to four catches for 64 yards. Romo went 23 for 30 for 284 yards, Williams caught five passes for...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Jay Cutler can't lose. Tony Romo can't win. What a surprise for both the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys. Cutler threw three touchdown passes and Romo wasn't able to respond, lifting the Chicago Bears to a 27-20 victory Sunday. The Bears come away 2-0 for the first time since their Super Bowl season in 2006. Dallas fell to 0-2 for the first time since 2001, when Quincy Carter took over for the retired Troy Aikman at quarterback. Cowboys loyalists will remember the 1993 season starting 0-2 and ending with a Super Bowl championship, but that club got...

LANDOVER, Md. – Sometimes 60 minutes of football comes down to one terrible decision by the offensive coordinator. Sometimes one chorus of "Hail to the Redskins" after a touchdown is all that it takes. The Cowboys gave the Washington Redskins seven points on the last play of the first half, and in a game in which both offenses were supremely challenged, that was the difference. Dallas was a 13-7 loser at FedEx Field on a night when, well, you can't say the Cowboys deserved to win, but they certainly weren't destined to lose. Not until one ridiculous call, anyway. In...

We're rolling with the Cowboys on their way to San Diego. Its an old school trip aboard an Amtrak train. The media is along for the ride as the team heads south from their training camp home in Oxnard to face the Chargers in preseason game number three. I haven't been on a train trip since I was 5 and have to say its not nearly as bad as I initially thought it would be. The ride is smoother than you could ever expect, and really is stress free. We're told the trip takes about four hours, and the only...

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge in the Bozeman , Montana airport, while waiting for their respective flights.. One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer, another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show, and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East .... Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowboy leans back in his chair,...

My Cowboys play Al's Boys tonight at Jerry World and I will make my second correct prediction of this NFL season right here, right now!

Mothers, don't let your babies grow up to bogusly claim they were Cowboys. I got a call yesterday from Michael Vaughn, the Maryland delegate from Prince George's County whose official campaign bio boasted that he "played professional football for the Dallas Cowboys for 3 years” when he actually hadn't played even a single play for the Cowboys or any other NFL team.

It's always difficult to know when to make a relationship public. But Kim Kardashian took the step last night when she stepped out with her American footballer boyfriend Miles Austin for the first time. Dressed in her usual attire of a tight dress and killer heels, Kim couldn't keep the smile off her face as she dined with her new beau at STK restaurant in New York.

According to USGA.com, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is among the many celebrities who have applied to compete in U.S. Open qualifiers this year. The list includes John Smoltz, Ryan Longwell, Billy Joe Tolliver, Shane Rawley and former NHL and 2002 Olympic silver medalist goalie Mike Dunham. Romo has made attempts to qualify in the last three U.S. Open tournaments but has failed

Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Leonard Davis saved a different type of birdie during the Dallas Cowboys annual Sponsor Appreciation Golf Tournament Wednesday. Davis, ever an animal-loving gentle giant, came to the rescue of nearly a dozen baby ducks stranded in a sand bunker on the 11th Hole. Davis walked into the bunker and picked up the baby ducks one-by-one and placed them gingerly on the fairway. Quickly, the little ducks scurried back to their mother -- who previously, and very quickly, had left the sand trap as the 6 foot 6 inch, 360-pound lineman approached. This wasn’t the first time...

The clock is ticking as Irving officials finalize plans to implode the former home of the Dallas Cowboys on April 11. The holes for the dynamite are being drilled, columns are being wrapped in fabric, and any spot inside or outside the stadium gives a clear view through the now-hollow structure. In a matter of days the stadium will be closed off to outsiders, and police will begin round-the-clock patrols. But Tuesday, city officials gave North Texas media one last look inside before the structure comes down at dawn April 11. Contractors worked Tuesday to finalize all preparations for the...

First, the Dallas Cowboys' Web site said that they were going to keep Wade Phillips. Then the team said that wasn't official yet. At the end of the day, though, Phillips is still the head coach for the Dallas Cowboys.Wade Phillips' contract option was picked up and Jerry Jones added two more years to the deal.Phillips is 33-15 in three years with Dallas and has a major playoff win over the division rival Philadelphia Eagles. He has taken this team's defense to second overall in the entire NFL. Seven Cowboys are going to the Pro Bowl this year. More can come...

A Dallas Cowboys season ticket holder is keeping a special promise he made to his best friend who happens to be a Vikings fan. Todd "Gig" Harling has brain cancer. When his best friend, Joel Stukas learned of his situation, Stukas promised to take him to Sunday's playoff game if he held on long enough. "Not many people can say that they've got a friend since third grade," said Harling. Harling and Stukas have spent the past 35 years as best friends. Harling is a die-hard Vikings fan. Stukas loves the Cowboys. Although Stukas lives in Dallas and Harling in...

Did the Minnesota Vikings run up the score on the Dallas Cowboys in Sunday's NFC divisional playoff? Keith Brooking(notes) thinks so. A late Brett Favre(notes) touchdown pass infuriated the Dallas linebacker, who charged over to the Vikings' sideline to voice his displeasure. And in his postgame press conference he didn't back down. The Vikings had held a comfortable 27-3 lead since the early part of the fourth quarter. Dallas looked completely deflated after going down 24 points and the team's subsequent play did nothing to dispel that notion. On the Cowboys' next two possessions the team went four-and-out, gaining a...

Here is video that is reportedly of a Philadelphia Eagles reporter spitting on the Dallas Cowboys "star" in the middle of Cowboys Stadium prior to last Sunday's game between the Eagles and the Cowboys. He spit on the star twice, and said "I could do more," just before he spit on it the second time. Even an Eagles fan site posted about it, and called it a "classless act." Dallas crushed the Eagles 24-0. . . .

The first item to lasso my attention was the display of photographs and movie posters featuring cowgirls. In my opinion, those gals were more daring and courageous than the men, and for certain this came from having to prove their mettle in a man’s world. And they did it quite well.

It has been said that director Howard Hawks made Rio Bravo (1959) as a reaction to two popular westerns which angered him - High Noon (1952) and 3:10 to Yuma (1957). His comment on the former was, "I didn't think a good sheriff was going to go running around town like a chicken with his head off asking for help, and finally his Quaker wife had to save him." Hawks also considered 3:10 to Yuma, which had outlaw Glenn Ford playing psychological games with lawman Van Heflin, "a lot of nonsense." So Rio Bravo was the director's take on heroism...

WHEN WE WERE COWBOYS... We Were Invincible Golda Meir once said (paraphrase) "... the fighting will stop when they love their children more than they hate us." I've said multiple times that the #1 killers of Palestinian children--or any child whose parents follow Islam--are Palestinian adults. The left's mantra of "Won't someone puhlease think of the children?" rings hollow and impotent given their appalling inaction on behalf of the children who truly need it--children of Islam. Their suffering is inexcusably ignored by these self-styled paragons of the defenseless. These little ones are on their own, left to their own devices,...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—Two workers were injured, one seriously, when they slipped and fell from a roof area of Cowboys Stadium while doing maintenance Thursday morning, authorities said. The two were working on the top hatch of the retractable-roof venue around 7:20 a.m. when they slipped, Assistant Fire Chief Don Crowson said. They were not using “fall protection,” he said. The workers fell from an upper roof to a lower section, police spokeswoman Tiara Ellis Richard said. Live TV coverage showed fire department crews on the roof of the nearly $1.2 billion stadium, where the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys began playing this...

DALLAS - Dallas police are looking for Tony Romo – not the football player, but a man they believe has robbed multiple area businesses. Police suspect 21-year-old Anthony Elias Romo is one of two men responsible for at least 10 robberies since August 15, including one at the Azteca Meat Market on Forest Lane and one at the Big C Grocery on Irving Boulevard.

Dallas Cowboys NFL Team Column By Russell Easley 2009 NFL Draft Coverage 10 November 2009 Plenty of Credit To Go Around For those of you who haven’t heard, the Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night to take sole possession of first place in the hotly contested NFC East. The game featured plenty of penalties and challenged plays, but what it really showed was the progress this team has made since the beginning of the season. So who gets the credit for the continued improvement of this team? Well, there’s plenty to go around. Credit QB Tony Romo for his...

The Cowboys and Tony Romo came out gunning in the first quarter. Mixing up running and passing plays, they made their way down field almost at will. The 49er defense had no answers for the dominating play of the offensive line. That was the key for Romo and company throughout the entire first half. On a few pass plays Romo dropped back and took some long looks before he decided where to execute. On one play Austin was so wide open for so long it looked like the defense did'nt even know he was there untill he made a sliding...
