Dallas Cowboys

DeAndre Jordan's a HUGE Dallas Cowboys fan. He's also friends with both Tony Romo and Dak Prescott.

Sorry, Tony Romo, ya ain't Terrell Owens' quarterback anymore ... at least not starting QB ... 'cause the ex-Cowboys star says the team would be CRAZY to bench Dak Prescott.

Shocking ... if ya remember the viral video from '08. T.O. -- rockin' shades, cried talking about Romo -- dropping the infamous "that's my quarterback" line after Dallas lost a playoff game.

So, when we saw T.O. in Venice Beach Tuesday ... we asked him to weigh in on the hottest debate in the NFL ... who should start as signal caller for the Boys.

T.O.'s obviously in Romo's corner, right? Nope ... he actually says keeping Romo planted on the bench is a "no-brainer" ... and he doesn't stop there.

Check out the clip!

As the NFL's trade deadline approaches ... there's one move former Cowboys great Jay Novacek doesn't want to see -- Dallas trading star QB Tony Romo ... despite playing second fiddle to rookie sensation Dak Prescott.

TMZ Sports spoke with Novacek about the QB controversy ... and the 3x Super Bowl champ says it's best to stick with DP despite a shaky performance against the Eagles Sunday night.

"He hung in there and had the opportunity at the end of the game to make plays and he made plays," Novacek says.

As for the rumors circulating about possibly trading Romo ... Novacek scoffs at the idea.

It didn't take long for ex-Cowboys star Drew Pearson to change his position on the Dallas QB controversy -- telling TMZ Sports he finally converted to Team Dak.

Just last month, the Super Bowl XII champ and Cowboys Ring of Honor member told us he was standing with Tony Romo because he's the better QB. Plain and simple.

But that was then ... before Dak Prescott led the Cowboys to the top of the NFC East with an impressive 5-1 record ... while only throwing ONE interception.

Pearson says he still respects Romo -- but Dak's the guy.

Tony Romo has 127 MILLION reasons to stay retired -- so says comic Bill Engvall who tells TMZ Sports the QB needs to step aside and let Dak Prescott take some of Jerry Jones' money, too!

The Cowboys super fan was leaving Craig's when he raved about Dak racking up ANOTHER victory over the weekend ... leading Dallas to an impressive 4-1 record.

But when we asked about Romo's possible return, Engvall said he loves Tony -- but says it's time for him to start enjoying the $127 MILLION he's made in the NFL so far ... instead of trying to come back.

By the way, Romo reportedly stands to make more than $50 MILLION if he stays in his current contract for the next 3 seasons.

Ezekiel Elliott was ballin' out in the bar 36 hours before ballin' out on the football field against the Bengals ... and TMZ Sports has video.

The Dallas Cowboys superstar hit up Concrete Cowboy bar in Dallas Friday night/early Saturday morning. We're told Elliott popped bottles (including champagne) ... and chilled with friends.

The turn up had ZERO negative effect on his play ... 'cause E.E. had a ridiculously good game Sunday afternoon (134 yards, 2 TDs).

Check out the vid!

A Cowboys legend is weighing in on the QB controversy in Dallas -- with Jay Novacek telling TMZ Sports ... KEEP DAK PRESCOTT UNDER CENTER ... even when Tony Romo returns.

Jay -- a 5-time Pro Bowler, 3-time Super Bowl champ with the Cowboys -- says he's a big Romo fan and wants to see him play again ... but essentially says the team has a great thing going with Dak!

"When Tony's ready to play, I'd sure enough start Dak ... and just always have that little backup situation going there," Jay said.

"If things aren't going quite right, then you put Tony in."

The Dallas Cowboys superstar rookies are learning quickly -- you win, you party with Snoop Dogg!!!

Check out video of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott hitting the club with the Doggfather after putting a hurtin' on the 49ers in San Francisco on Sunday.

Snoop had both guys onstage at the Punk Society bar in Dallas -- where he was the guest DJ that night.

Prescott threw for 245 yards and 2 TDs (no interceptions). Zeke had his best game as a Cowboy -- running for 138 and a TD.

Enjoy the victory ... and please ... please ... DON'T SMOKE UNCLE SNOOP'S WEED!!!

By the way, Snoop also WENT OFF on Trent Dilfer -- blasting the ESPN analyst for being critical of his friend, Dez Bryant, for the MRI drama.

Safe to say, Dilfer will NOT be partying with Snoop anytime soon.

Dak Prescott is good ... but Tony Romo is GREAT and Dallas will be even BETTER when he returns to the field ... so says Cowboys legend Drew Pearson.

TMZ Sports spoke to the Super Bowl XII champ who tells us why he doesn't think Romo should/will lose his starting job to the rookie ... despite the fact he's been playing pretty damn well.

"This organization really believes in Tony. What Dak is doing right now, Romo will do even better."

In fact, Pearson says Dak's impressive play is taking a huge weight off Romo's shoulders -- allowing him time to fully heal from his injury so he can return at 100%.

"When he gets back, he’ll get to prove he can perform at the same level or better than before his injury."

Washington Redskins rookie Su'a Cravens is about to find out why he should NEVER ignore his mom's phone calls ... even if she's a fan of his team's rival.

Cravens told reporters earlier this week that he was preparing for his first matchup with the Dallas Cowboys by shutting down all communication with his mom -- a DIE-HARD supporter of America's Team.

Yolanda Cravens -- who admits she's slowly transitioning into a 'Skins fan -- tells us there will be consequences for Su'a's antics if the Redskins aren't victorious.

"If the Cowboys win, he has to wear something Cowboys. I don't know, they might throw tomatoes at him if he does that."

As for the Redskins drafting Su'a ... Yolanda says there's only one team she REALLY didn't want to select him ... and her reaction is hilarious.

Draya Michele says you might not see the second coming of her fiance, Orlando Scandrick, in the NFL ... 'cause unless the league addresses its concussion issue their son WON'T be playing.

Draya -- who welcomed a baby boy with the Cowboys CB back in April -- was out with the girls at Ysabel in L.A. when we asked about how things are going with the brand new baby.

She told us Orlando is in full daddy day care mode -- diapers and all -- but when we brought up a potential future in football for the tyke ... Draya went all mommy on us saying she's not sure it's safe.

The Dallas Cowboys could be the next Cinderella team in the NFL thanks to Dak Prescott ... so says Barry Switzer.

The ex-Cowboys coach was in D.C. Wednesday where he raved about Jerry Jones -- and then gave a pretty optimistic outlook on the season to Dallas fans.

Tony Romo's upgrading in Dallas in a BIG way ... he's building a massive new home in a prestigious gated community ... and TMZ Sports has pics of the pad.

The Dallas Cowboys QB's new home is under construction on a 3 ACRE plot of land he purchased a few years back.

According to tax records, the land alone was valued at more than $4 MILLION when it was assessed in 2014.

As for the home itself, it looks huge ... public documents show it will boast 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 2 wet bars, 2 fireplaces, a pool with a cabana and much, much more!

Our sources say construction is about 3/4 of the way done.

Romo has listed his other Texas home -- a 5,551 square foot mansion for $1.05 million ... so we're guessing he plans to move in pretty soon.

Peyton Manning was impressed by BOTH quarterbacks on the field at the Giants vs. Cowboys game Sunday ... telling TMZ Sports he's "proud" of his brother, Eli, and impressed with Dak Prescott.

Both Mannings -- Peyton and Eli -- were out in NYC Monday morning ... where they both praised the Cowboys quarterback for his play ... even though Dallas lost 20-19.

Despite the expert analysis -- and his guest appearance in the booth during "Thursday Night Football" -- Manning says he's not planning to get into broadcasting.

This is insane footage of a murder suspect breaking his handcuffs and escaping a Las Vegas police station on Friday ... while wearing an Ezekiel Elliott jersey.

The Cowboys fan is Alonso Perez -- who was arrested for allegedly murdering a man who didn't hold the door open for a woman at a McDonald's.

Perez was handcuffed and left alone at the Detective Bureau -- with no guard watching over him.

So, Perez used his body weight to twist the chain connecting the cuffs ... and pushed so hard, it eventually snapped.

He then used his chair to climb into the rafters and escaped the building ... then stole a truck that was left running nearby.

Fortunately, cops were able to locate Perez on Tuesday and he's now back in police custody.

Ezekiel Elliott will not face any charges for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The Columbus, OH City Attorney says there were inconsistent details about what the woman claimed were 5 separate incidents from July 17 to July 22 -- and as a result prosecutors felt there wasn't enough evidence to bring a case against the Cowboys running back.

The City Attorney says Elliott and his attorneys fully cooperated with the investigation. In his statement to police, Elliott said the woman told him, "I am going to ruin your career, you have messed with the wrong person!"

Prosecutors released a bunch of photos showing bruises on the woman, which she claimed Elliott inflicted. The City Attorney Office says it tried to determine the source of the injuries.

They're not saying it, but it appears prosecutors couldn't find enough evidence to pin it on Elliott. According to docs, Elliott told police the bruises were from a fight she'd had with someone else at a nightclub.

Elliott has always maintained the woman was NOT a girlfriend ... just someone with whom he had a "sexual relationship."
