“But this year, we’re connecting like Montana and Rice.” Yes, this was a quote from Dallas Cowboys wide-receiver Roy Williams. And yes, it was an idiotic statement that could not have come from the heart. After putting up big numbers in his Detroit Lions career, Williams has not lived up to the hype in his Cowboys career. After posting nine touchdowns in his last two seasons combined, Roy Williams has been far from Jerry Rice. And while we are at it, Joe Montana would have the right to vomit if Tony Romo was supposed to connect to anyone as if he was Montana.
Tony Romo is still deservedly known as a quarterback that would be a great coup for fantasy football. He finally got over the hump of winning a playoff game; it only took him a few tries. I bet he would still like to one day make an NFC Championship. But enough with the Romo bashing, as this statement did not come out of his mouth. I hope Roy Williams enjoys looking over at Miles Austin, who clearly took his #1 spot that he never really held. And the fact that the Cowboys selected Dez Bryant in round one of the draft should tell Williams that the Cowboys don’t see him as Jerry Rice. Unless they see him as an equivalent to Jerry Rice; when Rice played for the Seahawks. Do you remember how he did on the Seahawks? Neither do I.

Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing said Thursday he never used any banned substances even though he tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug.
Cushing was suspended for four games without pay last week for violating the NFL’s drug policy. His appeal was denied.
Cushing confirmed he tested positive for HCG, a fertility drug that is on the league’s banned substance list.
“The question of how it got into my body is still unclear,” he said. “It’s something that I’m very personally concerned about, just the fact that how it’s there and what’s going to determine it from happening again, and that’s something we’re going to have to medically investigate.”
He said that after failing the test, he was told HCG can get in your body from injecting it or because of tumors. He said this information led him to believe he had tumors. He did not say what kind of tumors.
“I personally know I’m not injecting myself with anything,” he said. “I played the whole season thinking this could not only be my last season, but my last year.”

The Houston Texans will pick up the $10 million option bonus payment in the contract of Pro Bowl MVP quarterback Matt Schaub, according to a league source.
The option will be picked up as early as Thursday and no later than Friday. Once the Texans officially notify Schaub of this with a letter, the quarterback will be obligated to Houston for the next three seasons at roughly $28 million.
The move comes in the same week they extended head coach Gary Kubiak’s contract through 2012.
Schaub initially signed a six-year, $48 million contract with the Texans in March 2007. The deal also included an option bonus payment of $10 million due no later than five days after Super Bowl XLIV, which will be played Sunday in Miami. With Houston having until the end of next week to do it, they will do it as early as Thursday.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has decided that head coach Wade Phillips will return next season despite the team’s 34-3 loss Sunday to the Minnesota Vikings, a high-ranking team source said Monday.
There has been no decision on whether to negotiate an extension of Phillips’ current contract, the source said. The Cowboys control Phillips’ fate because they have an option for the 2010 season under terms of Phillips’ original contract that will play him close to the $3 million he earned this season when he served as the league’s only head coach-defensive coordinator.
The Cowboys have made no official announcement on Phillips’ future.
Jones has indicated for weeks that Phillips was likely to return but remained non-committal following Sunday’s lopsided defeat that eliminated the Cowboys from the NFC playoffs.
A Cowboys spokesman said the head coach is not expected to speak to the media Monday and nothing has been scheduled for him to speak the rest of the week.

Cowboys’ special teams coach Joe DeCamillis has gone through a difficult year physically.
Sunday night, DeCamillis underwent an appendectomy at a Virginia hospital, about 90 minutes before kickoff between the Cowboys and the Redskins.
DeCamillis experienced pain on Sunday and then was rushed to the hospital. He will not coach in Sunday’s game. DeCamillis’ status for the rest of the season is uncertain. The Cowboys leave for Dallas after the game and it’s not determined if DeCamillis will be on the team charter.
Wes Phillips, head coach Wade Phillips’ son, will take over the special teams duties. Other coaches will also help Wes Phillips.

Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones spoke to his team in the locker room about being cautious following Thursday’s 24-7 victory against the Oakland Raiders at Cowboys Stadium.
Jones said he’s happy with an 8-3 record and first place in the NFC East. Yet, Jones doesn’t want his team to lose its edge with five games remaining in the regular season.
Jones said if the team maintains its focus, reaching the postseason for the second time in three seasons isn’t out of the question.
It’s not unusual for Jones to speak with his team in the locker room after a game, but he normally waits for reporters to enter so he can speak with them as well. But Jones is serious about the tough stretch of games coming up. He knows some of his teams have failed in the past.
