| 12/31/1969 06:00 PM Romo should stay on sideline
Tom Orsborn: Is finishing 7-9 really more important than going, say, 6-10 or 5-11? The Cowboys need to make sure Tony Romo doesn’t get hurt again and that he enters the offseason free of the baggage he would accumulate from playing poorly in a couple of meaningless games. |

| 05/18/2012 11:37 AM Don Banks: Plenty of 2011's injured players are primed for bounceback years While the entire NFL world has been fixated on every detail and development in his year-plus battle with his neck issues, Peyton Manning wasn't the only player who had his 2011 ruined by injury. His lost season just happened to generate more media coverage than the plight of all other injured players combined, given that his absence set off a chain of events that rendered it the most impactful injury in league history. |
| 05/15/2012 02:44 PM Don Banks: 7 strong hunches for the 2012 season The NFL is both beloved and exalted in the pantheon of spectator sports because absolutely no one knows what will unfold from week to week. But that doesn't stop us from predicting up a storm when it comes to the season just ahead. More than two months away from the full-scale opening of training camps, here are seven strong hunches we're willing to share in a bold foretelling of 2012's storylines to come: |
| 05/08/2012 12:47 PM Don Banks: Plenty of position battles to keep an eye on as minicamps progress With the draft and free agency having reordered depth charts around the league, it's time to take stock of the positional battles that will be worth watching unfold once training camps open. Here are 10 intriguing depth-chart competitions that warrant our attention this summer: |
| 05/04/2012 12:05 PM Don Banks: New issue, same misguided fight between league and union At the very least, Junior Seau's shocking suicide this week raises the stakes all the more when it comes to what might be on the line in the controversial and much-debated effort to increase player safety in the NFL. We don't know for sure yet if the league's two biggest headlines in recent days were connected on any level, and if Seau's long and distinguished football career led to the kind of brain injury that contributed to him taking his own life, but there is ample reason -- and far too much recent history -- to support suspicion on that front. |

| 05/20/2012 05:39 AM North Texas settlement drew life from the railroad On this day in 1885, Harrold, a railroad town in east central Wilbarger County, was officially platted. The settlement had been known as Cottonwood in the early 1880s, when it had a stage station and a store near China Creek. In 1884 the Fort Worth and Denver City Railway, building from the east, reached the area. The community was renamed to honor promoter Ephraim Harrold, who owned the nearby Bar-X Ranch. As the western terminus for the railroad, Harrold became an overnight boomtown. |

He chose a well-watered site along the right-of-way of the Fort Worth and Denver City Railroad, which had begun building across the Panhandle. On August 30, 1887, Berry's townsite was elected seat of Potter County. The railroad arrived shortly after the county election, and Amarillo boomed as a cattle-marketing center. Although Berry's cowtown seemed to be well established, Henry B. |
