Filed under: Cowboys, NFC East, NFL FansThis is pretty cool. Blogging the Boys’ Dave Halprin is in Oxnard, CA at Cowboys training camp and in addition to covering every on-the-field detail, he’s also got some behind-the-scenes stuff from the parking lot of players’ hotel.

Specifically, to get this Cowboys-decaled Hummer signed by as many Cowboys as possible. As of this writing, Kevin Burnett, Roy Williams, Adam Jones and Zach Thomas all signed, but it’s Halprin’s conversation with Thomas that makes the story. We told Zach that we were bloggers; he turned kind of semi-serious on us and said the blogs always hate on him because he’s short. I told him we were hyped to have him in Dallas and we are calling him the tackling machine. He liked that. Well, credit to Thomas for knowing what a blog is (Braylon Edwards, you’ve been put on notice … or something), but I can’t remember once reading anybody taking shots at him for being short. In fact, it seems like Thomas is pretty popular of his height (in addition to, you know, also being a very good football player).

Now, if Thomas had said blogs always hate on him because he can’t dance, then, yeah, he’s got an argument there.
