The Dallas Cowboys recent release of superstar wide receiver Terrell Owens shocked the NFL nation. Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones isn’t saying that the release if a result of any locker room antics or poor chemistry with team mates. He’s not saying it… but we all know that’s why Owens got the boot.

Owens has played for two other teams, the 49ers and the Eagles. Both teams released him because he’s a “locker room cancer” or “quarterback killer”. There’s no question he’s one of the best WRs to ever play the game, but for some reason he just can’t get along with his teammates. Either he’s calling them names, throwing them under the bus, or working up conspiracies.

Owens agent Drew Rosenhaus has indicated that he won’t be out of work for too long. Allegedly several teams have already started negotiating contracts. But which teams are they? I think he might be on his way back to San Francisco. When the topic of Owens came up during his interview on KNBR in San Francisco, 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan simply said, “We don’t close any doors.” They desperately need a WR, and it would be nice for him to finish his career where it started.

Where do you think he’ll land?

Everything’s bigger in Texas, right? Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones put that saying to the test when he ordered the construction of a new stadium for his Cowboys franchise. Ground broke on the new stadium back in September 2005 and the scheduled opening date should be in time for the start of the 2009 NFL Season.

The stadium is an amazing piece of architecture. Check out the pictures and videos on the stadium’s official website. Here are a couple of quick stats:

Total Square Footage: 2.3 million square feet. The entire Statue of Liberty and its base could fit into the stadium with the roof closed. The stadium is also the world’s largest column-free room. The American Airlines Center in Dallas could fit entirely into the new stadium at field level.

Interior Cubic Volume: 104 million cubic feet. (By comparison, Reliant Stadium in Houston measures 90 million cubic feet.) The Dallas Cowboys stadium will be the largest enclosed stadium (in cubic feet) in the NFL.

Seating Capacity: A capacity of 80,000 plus standing room or additional seating in the end zones, along with ticketed areas in the end zone plazas can increase total capacity to 100,000.

Jerry Jones spared no expense in his new stadium. Everything you can imagine will be state of the art. The stadium will also feature a new concept for suites: field-level sideline and end zone suites. Think dugouts at a baseball game, except equipped with fully stocked bars and high-def TVs.

In addition to the Cowboys home games, the stadium will also host the annual Texas A&M vs. Arkansas game, the annual Cotton Bowl, the 2010 NBA All-Star Game, Super Bowl XLV, the 2014 NCAA Final Four, and more! Every sporting event will want to play in this stadium. It’s something that all leagues, teams and fans will want to experience.

One of the many traditions most Americans celebrate on Thanksgiving is football. Families and friends arrange backyard games, and millions watch football on TV before and after their meals. There are three Thanksgiving Day games this year in the NFL. Detroit and Dallas play ever year, with the third game being rotated yearly.

Tennessee (10-1) vs. Detroit (0-11) at 12:30 PM EST
Seattle (2-9) vs Dallas (7-4) at 4:15 PM EST
Arizona (7-4) vs. Philadelphia (5-5-1) at 8:15 PM EST

The first two games will be broadcast on CBS and Fox, but the night game will be aired on NFL Network. That’s a bummer because the Arizona vs. Philly game is the most intriguing, yet not many people have access to the NFL Network.

I think Detroit is going to come out and play strong. They are far inferior to the Titans team, but on Thanksgiving in Detroit, anything can happen. Detroit has one of the best young wide receivers in Calvin Johnson. It will be fun to see how he matches up with a tough Titans secondary.

Since Tony Romo’s return to the Dallas Cowboys, they have won two NFC games in a row over Washington and San Francisco. Seattle must bring their “A” game if they want to compete with the Cowboys. They need to pick whether to try to stop the run or stop the pass. Either way, the Seahawks must fire on all cylinders or Dallas will beat them with their many weapons.

My score predictions for the games:

Tennessee 28 Detroit 7
Seattle 10 Dallas 31
Arizona 35 Philadelphia 31

Happy Thanksgiving!
