I have been writing for The Landry Hat since January 2008, when I was contacted by Fansided LLC to be the chief Dallas Cowboys writer. Almost 30 months later, the ride is over. I will no longer be writing for The Landry Hat or any other Fansided LLC blog.
It’s been a wonderful time here and I appreciate all of you for visiting and joining in on the fun. I remember when this site was only getting 100 page views a day. Now, it is more than 1000 times that with very little help from social networks. The Landry Hat was truly a grassroots blog that flourished quickly under my term.
I am proud of what I built here at The Landry Hat and it is sad to leave the site and not be able to retain the naming rights of the blog.
For 2.5 years, you all have supported me and I want to let you know that you can continue to support me at my Dallas Cowboys Examiner page. Whoever takes over The Landry Hat should have to rebuild his or her own readership and I would like to take my readership with me to the Dallas Cowboys Examiner page at http://www.examiner.com/x-850-Dallas-Cowboys-Examiner
I want to thank Fansided LLC for the opportunity to write about the Cowboys for so long.

My wife and I disagree on many things, but nothing more striking than the quality of Patch Adams.
Catherine lists Patch Adams as one of her all-time favorite films. I list Patch Adams as anal discharge.
To me, one scene in this you-can-change-the-world-if-you-just-believe saga from brain dead hell sums up my feelings: Early in the film, Patch (Robin Williams) is trying to prove to a medical school classmate that laughter is the best medicine. So he climbs a tree, then dangles down just as an elderly woman passes by. “You’ll see,” he tells his peer. “Just watch.”
In the real world, Bertha has a heart attack and dies. Hell, she’s probably 85, and this strange man pops out of a tree. Surely, he’s a mugger. Maybe even a rapist.
Here, in Patch Adams, she giggles like a child. Literally, she giggles, then shoos her hand in that you-wacky-kidder motion. It is inane and pathetic; the worst genre of movie moment.
Making matters worse, Williams character spends much of the movie hitting on a fellow student, played by Monica Potter. She is initially repulsed, but over time (and, of course, laughs) he begins to win her heart. Yet more than reaffirming or joyful, it’s creepy. Williams is 20 years older than Potter in real life, and no matter Mork’s comb-over, it just screams, “Ew.”

Here's Steve Dennis from The Score...
All of this competition should only make this team even better than it was last season.

The 2009 season for the Tennessee Titans did not go as really anyone expected. Fans went in to the season with Super Bowl expectations, and through the first 6 weeks of the season, what we got out of it was nothing but sheer disappointment. No one saw it coming, regardless of whether you expected this team to win the Super Bowl or hell, even even make the playoffs [...]

Mark Ingram will be the obvious frontrunner for the 2010 Heisman Trophy, though it’s very difficult to win it twice, especially when you have a teammate that may pull votes away from you. But when you look at the early Heisman field, one player may have the inside track to the award, having a better [...]

Memorial Day weekend, for most, is supposed to be a relaxing 3 (sometimes 4) day weekend, filled with friends and family, sunshine, lots of beer, lawn games, barbecues, and sunburns. There's also the whole memorial part too, (let's not forget those who have passed, people!). It's the unofficial kick off to summer, a time to celebrate.
Unless you're Kendry Morales. [...]

Ever since his win in Richmond both Kyle Busch and the media have been trying to convince NASCAR fans that there’s a “new Kyle Busch.” Whether some believe it or not is their own personal choice, but here’s something they should believe: Kyle’s older brother is a new Busch.
It was Kurt that swept the May races [...]
