| risers tuning in for the TicketCity Bowl between Texas Tech and Northwestern might recognize the setting - the Cotton Bowl. Only the Rose Bowl has hosted more college bowl games than this venue in Dallas' Fair Park. Its namesake game moved to the Dallas Cowboys' palatial stadium last season, and some locals thought it was a shame for this 92,000-seat stadium to sit empty on New Year's Day. So organizers came up with a matchup between middling schools from the Big 12 and Big Ten to take its place.Copyright |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is unlikely to play against the Dallas Cowboys after he missed a second straight day of practice Friday. ``I think it will be a stretch for him to play in this game,'' Philadelphia coach Andy Reid said.

| Irving, TX (MySportsbook) - The Dallas Cowboys signed kicker Kris Brown on Thursday to create some competition for the embattled David Buehler going into next season. Buehler missed an extra point on Saturday that ultimately cost Dallas a win in Arizona, so the Cowboys added a veteran of 12 seasons to their 53-man roster. Brown has made 77.3 percent of his career field goal attempts, but was cut by the Houston Texans before the 2010 season began in favor of Neil Rackers. He appeared in three games for the |

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - From the day he was drafted, Stephen McGee understood the pecking order among Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks. Tony Romo was the starter, Jon Kitna the backup. His role was to be seen and not heard, to absorb as much as he could without getting in the way. No problem, McGee figured. He had a lot to learn anyway. A former option quarterback at Texas A&M, McGee immersed himself in learning the pro game. He rented a house two stop signs from team headquarters and spent so much time |
