IRVING, Texas (AP) -Terrell Owens still wasn't able to practice Wednesday because of a high ankle sprain, continuing the drama of whether the Dallas Cowboys will have their newest All-Pro receiver for the playoff game Sunday against the New York Giants. Coach Wade Phillips didn't even see Owens on Wednesday, but knew he was doing all he could to get healthy. And if T.O. says he's ready to go at game time, Phillips will let him play. ``The guy played pretty good in a Super Bowl game that they said he wa |

| ion and I stuck with it,'' Dorsey said. ``I enjoyed being in college, enjoy the whole college atmosphere.'' The 6-foot-2, 303-pound Dorsey said he didn't prefer any particular team to draft him, but said he was a fan of the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys as a kid. Dorsey and Selmon appeared at the famed Boys Town children's home in west Omaha, famous for its work with abused, abandoned and neglected children. The home was immortalized by the 1938 movie ``Boys Town,'' which starred Spencer Tracy an |

Dallas Cowboys assistant head coach Tony Sparano is still considered a heavy favorite for the Miami job, which may be why Arizona offensive coordinator Todd Haley declined an invitation to interview with the Dolphins. Haley instead signed a contract extension Tues |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -As the Dallas Cowboys collected milestones such as the best start in club history this season, coach Wade Phillips sure liked connecting his team to some of the greatest squads in franchise lore. Yet last week, when it was noted the Cowboys haven't won a playoff game since 1996, Phillips sure was quick to distance his guys from the predecessors who've run up the longest postseason drought in team history. Sorry, coach, you can't have it both ways. After this weekend, the 2007 editio |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Terrell Owens was still limping Monday on his sprained left ankle and his status for the Dallas Cowboys' playoff game next weekend was uncertain, though some teammates expect him to play. ``Absolutely, we're all counting on him playing,'' Jason Witten said. ``He's a tough guy. Nobody wants it more than he wants it himself to get out there and play. He's a quick healer, and he looked good out there, I thought.''
