After a rough start to the preseason, the Cowboys will need all the help they can get to make it to the Super Bowl, their preordained fate (such assumptions make the Giants very, very angry, by the way). Well, some good news on that front: their Week 1 opponent, the Browns, could be without one of their best players.
Returner specialist/receiver Joshua Cribbs suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Monday night
Well, at least according to Dallas Morning News writer/blogger/not-a-doctor Tim MacMahon. The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting only that Cribbs will miss the final two games of the preseason, but MacMahon, an expert in the field of rolling one's ankles, offers his insight:
The story states that Cribbs could sit out the final two preseason games. I'm no doctor, but I do consider myself somewhat of an expert in high ankle sprain recovery times after covering the comebacks of Anthony Henry, Terrell Owens and Dirk Nowitzki from that dreaded injury during the last year.Whatever Cribbs' "official" status, MacMahon makes a good point: the Cowboys will either miss the AFC's best returner all together, or face one who's less than 100 percent.
A high ankle sprain typically sidelines athletes from 4-6 weeks. T.O. and Dirk came back quicker than that, but neither was close to 100 percent upon their return.
In other Cleveland injury news, Derek Anderson will probably miss this week's Lions game after suffering a mild concussion during a Osi Umenyiora belly-to-belly suplex on Monday. Which might not be great news for the Browns' '08 hopes, but is wonderful news for Brady Quinn supporters.

Ask any sports fan what they'll remember most about the NY/NE Super Bowl and they'll tell you. Being a Cowboys fan myself I pulled for ya but giants fans are really,really blind to see that the Super Bowl was known more for New England LOSING than New York winning. Get over yourselves.

Easy Phil. Act like a man. When your "Boys" win a playoff game in this era you can move to the front of the room and sit at the big table.
