NFL Videos: The punt return that never was

I didn't understand the holding penalty on the play there. The guy they called it on wasn't even near anybody. My first instinct was that the officials just threw a flag and made up a penalty because they were as confused as everybody else was, but that sounds too asinine so I'll just assume they called it on the wrong person, or when it happened it wasn't on camera.

apparently the hold came at the beginning of the punt, which is offscreen in most of the shots.

Justin Tryon got cut.. That's the pick we used to draft Markus White.

Oh..Bob Sanders was placed on IR/cut by the Bolts. His career might be done.

Wow, I've heard of losing w/o dignity and making excuses for poor play, but the Cowboys bring a whole new meaning...... winning w/o dignity.

Cowboys, Skins differ over root of wayward snaps - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

The Cowboys have accused the Redskins of causing Costa's itchy trigger finger by mimicking Romo's cadence, essentially tricking the new center into thinking the quarterback was calling for the ball before he actually was. The culprit was thought to be Washington defensive end Stephen Bowen, who spent the last five seasons in Dallas.

The Redskins, meanwhile, accuse the Cowboys of making up the whole thing. Washington coach Mike Shanahan says there's proof.

''The center is miked, and when the center is miked, you go back in audio and you'll find out if one of our players did say a snap count,'' Shanahan said. ''And they did not.''

Bowen said he knew during the game that the Cowboys were making the allegations because, ''the ref came to us and said, `Are (you) giving fake snap counts?'''

''I looked at (nose tackle) Barry (Cofield), like: 'Did you make a noise?''' Bowen said. ''He was like, 'I didn't make a noise. I didn't even hear anything.'''

''I lost a lot of respect for Costa,'' Bowen said. ''Just be a man and tell the truth. If that was the case, if we were making snap counts, how come no other offensive linemen jumped offsides? It makes no sense because he's lying. He just needs to be a man and stand by his word. Everybody respects a man who could tell the truth.''

I have to agree with Bowen, only the Center screwed up on each play, and if I'm not mistaken didn't Costa's mess up the week before on a couple of snaps or was it the 1st game of the season?

Those little ****s in Cowboy land are taking advantage of the general public's IGNORANCE the FACT that every ****ing center is MIC'd up this season, those ****ing bitches. **** Romo for this slander. **** HIS SORRY ASS. You know what, eye for an eye. TAKE HIS ****ING KNEES OUT.

3 games is probably about all CP's good for these days, I'm afraid.

[SmootSmack]

I didn't know CP was close to signing. I just thought he and Larry Johnson went to work out for the Bengals
