OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett arrived at the Baltimore Ravens' training complex Tuesday morning for a second interview for the team's head coaching job. The 41-year-old Garrett is regarded as the front-runner for the job. He's the first candidate to receive a second interview with the team's search committee to fill the vacancy created two weeks ago when the Ravens fired Brian Billick. Garrett and his wife, Brill, were greeted at team headquarters by preside |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -No NFC championship game at home, no shot at a record sixth Super Bowl. That 13-3 regular season? The NFL-record 12 Pro Bowlers? All wasted. The Dallas Cowboys woke up to those cold realities Monday, a day after being eliminated by the New York Giants, a team they'd already beaten twice. ``For it to fall apart like it did is mindboggling,'' tight end Jason Witten said. ``You don't know what to do now.'' Trying to figure out how it happened was the first step. ``I think we clin |

MIAMI (AP) -At least one Dallas Cowboys player referred to assistant head coach Tony Sparano in the past tense Monday, because he may soon change teams. The front-runner for the Miami Dolphins' head coaching job, Sparano became available for hire when the Cowboys lost their playoff game Sunday to the New York Giants. ``Tony was an unbelievable coach,'' Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. ``He'll be a great head coach, and this team will definitely miss him if he gets that opportunity.''

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Jessica Simpson had probably given up and gone shopping during the drive commanded by her boyfriend that took up much of the second quarter and gave the Dallas Cowboys what turned out to be a short-lived lead over the New York Giants. But, really, what's a girl to do? Long drives can just be so boring. Not terribly effective, either, as Tony Romo and the Cowboys found out Sunday when they extended their streak in playoff futility to 11 years in a loss so hard to take that even the p |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Eli Manning needed only 46 seconds to demoralize the Dallas Cowboys and get the New York Giants on the road to their first NFC Championship game in seven years. Those 46 seconds in the final minute of the first half didn't produce a game-winning touchdown, but it was the next best thing for the Giants. The seven-play, 71-yard march that Manning capped with a 4-yard touchdown toss to Amani Toomer allowed New York to leave the field at halftime tied at 14. It also seemed to take all t |

| IRVING, Texas (AP) -There were plenty of blonde women in the stands wearing pink Tony Romo jerseys, but girlfriend Jessica Simpson didn't appear to be one of them. The pop singer-actress was apparently not in attendance to watch her boyfriend, the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback, take on the New York Giants in a playoff game Sunday. Simpson's publicist said earlier in the week she was working on a new album and would not be there to support the Cowboys quarterback. Simpson proudly displayed her pink Romo je |
