Dallas Cowboys

Nothing fires up a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader like a big fat "W" ... and Monday night, the squad celebrated the big victory over the Lions with an "All I Do Is Win" dance party.

Did you know Cedric the Entertainer is good friends with Dez Bryant?

It's true ... and Ced tells TMZ Sports he doesn't want to see Tony Romo throwing him the ball ever again.

Ezekiel Elliott's kettle stunt has been VERY good for the Salvation Army -- resulting in a 61% increase in giving since the Cowboys star's TD celebration ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke with Salvation Army spokesperson Lt. Colonel Ron Busroe who says the entire organization was pleasantly surprised by Zeke's stunt -- everyone at the office has been talking about it nonstop!

As for the donation boom, Lt. Colonel Busroe says, "From 8:10pm to 10:30am this morning there was a 61% increase in online giving from the same time frame last Sunday night."

In fact, we're told a bunch of people have been making $21 donations -- a clear tip of the cap to Elliott.

Good news for the Salvation Army ... Ezekiel Elliott says he WILL be donating to the charity despite the fact he won't be fined by the NFL.

After EE jumped into a Salvation Army kettle to celebrate a TD Sunday night, he assumed he'd be fined by the NFL -- and vowed to match the fine and donate the money to the S.A.

But Monday morning, the league announced they wouldn't take further action against the Dallas Cowboys star ... begging the question -- what's up with Zeke's donation pledge?

Moments ago he answered ... "Even though I will not be fined I still will be making a donation to the @SalvationArmyUS."

No word on the amount -- we're guessing it'll be substantial.

There's an easy fix to the Cowboys' offensive woes ... PUT IN TONY ROMO at QB, so says former Cowboys All-Pro tight end Jay Novacek.

TMZ Sports spoke to Novacek -- who won 3 rings with the 'Boys -- about the offense's lack of big plays ... and inability to score points.

So, what's the solution?

"Put in Tony."

Novacek was crystal clear ... Dak Prescott might've led the team during their 11 game win streak, but that doesn't guarantee he should be a lock to quarterback the squad going forward.

DeAndre Jordan ain't fazed by the Cowboys' tough loss to the Giants on Sunday, and he REALLY doesn't want to hear any criticism about rookie QB Dak Prescott, simply saying, 'we're 11-2.'

D.J. was leaving Nice Guy in L.A. when we had to ask about Prescott's mediocre performance in the 10-7 loss to New York -- going 17-37 with 165 yards with a TD and a pick, finishing with a 45.4 rating.

You win, you celebrate ... at least if you're Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott.

The Dallas Cowboys superstars hit up So & So's in Dallas on Monday -- where they celebrated their 11-1 record by popping bottles of champagne while clubgoers threw stacks of cash.

Good times had by all ... and from what we're told by multiple clubgoers, no drama of any kind.

It ain't the first time the rookies have clubbed together after a big win -- they've been seen victory partying at a couple different spots this season.

It's not like they're trying to hide it -- so we're guessing as long as they keep dominating, they can keep celebrating.

Here's pics and vids of the Dallas Cowboys continuing their epic winning streak OFF THE FIELD ... showing up to a couple Texas children's hospitals to spread Xmas cheer to some brave little tykes.

The whole gang included Dak, Zeke, Dez, Witten, and Romo -- and from the looks of the photos taken Monday morning, the whole team scored with the kids.

Great to see the guys spread a little joy ... and also great to see that kids still remember what Romo looks like without the clipboard in his hand.

#Yuletide.

It wasn't passing on Johnny Manziel ... it wasn't the Greg Hardy situation -- Dallas Cowboys bigwig Stephen Jones says the hardest decision he's made in the front office is benching Tony Romo.

Stephen -- the Cowboys CEO and Director of Player Personnel (and also Jerry's son) -- did a video Q&A with fans moments ago ... and was asked to name the most difficult Cowboys decision he's had to make.

Without hesitation, Stephen explained why forcing Tony to take a back seat to Dak Prescott was especially tough for him.

By the way, he did the interview with a painting of Tony Romo over his left shoulder.

Jones keeps referencing Dak's "hot hand" -- which makes it seem like he's ready to turn right back to Tony if that hand happens to cool off.

Also, interesting Stephen is taking credit for the move ... and not head coach Jason Garrett.

Washington Redkins stars Pierre Garcon and Chris Baker were doing a pretty cool thing Monday night, giving away Thanksgiving turkeys ... when suddenly a HUUUGE Cowboys fan crashed the party!

The woman -- sporting her Dallas Cowboys beanie -- is hilarious ... getting right up in Baker's face and pledging her allegiance to her squad ... adding, "I look forward to seeing you Thursday!"

The video is great -- the woman talks smack, but does it in a playful manner -- while ultimately saying, "For real, thank you baby. Regardless of what team I belong to, I still think you're doing a good thing."

Before Jerry Jones made up his mind on the Dallas Cowboys QB situation, he spoke with one of his most trusted football experts ... Barry Switzer.

The legendary Cowboys head coach says he offered up his opinion to Jerry -- and was pretty strong about if Dak Prescott should stay under center when Tony Romo was cleared to play.

Switzer was super candid about his conversation with JJ when he spoke with TMZ Sports -- and praised Jones for putting together a 2016 squad that's the most exciting team he's seen in 20 years.

First off, Tony Dorsett is awesome.

Second, the Dallas Cowboys legend explains why he's a HUUUGE Ezekiel Elliott fan -- and will be rooting for the guy to break his Cowboys rookie rushing record.

Dorsett rushed for 1,007 yards back in 1977 -- and no other Cowboys rookie has surpassed that mark ... until now. Zeke is just 2 yards short ... and still has 7 more games to go!

Billy Gardell says it's not time to jump off the Big Ben bandwagon just yet ... but the "Mike and Molly" star admits the bandwagon needs one thing -- a good backup driver.

We got Gardell out in NYC Monday and asked the lifelong Steelers fan how he felt about the gut-wrenching loss to the Dallas Daks this past Sunday.

Pittsburgh is now 4-5 and a lot of people are wondering if it's time to start searching for the heir apparent to Roethlisberger ... now that his injury, and age -- he's 34 -- are becoming a factor.

Billy makes it plain ... Ben's still got his heart, but it might be time for the Steelers to find their Tony Romo ... a qualified and dependable backup.

Less than 24 hours after shocking the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott and a bunch of other Cowboys stars hit up a Salvation Army to serve an early Thanksgiving dinner to the needy.

The guys were in pretty good spirits -- and the people at the Salvation Army couldn't have been more excited!

Jason Witten, Lucky Whitehead and Alfred Morris were among the players who pitched in.

Dak and Ezekiel seemed especially chummy during the charity event -- and at 8-1, why wouldn't they be?

How bout dem Cowboys?!

Randy Gregory has a problem with marijuana -- that's what the Dallas Cowboys defensive end tested positive for during his last drug test ... league sources tell TMZ Sports.

We're told Gregory -- who's currently serving a suspension for failing previous drug tests -- was tested again at the end of last week ... and it came up showing weed.

Our sources say Gregory was notified of the result on Tuesday -- and has been concerned that the Cowboys could get rid of him. So far, we're told no decision has been made.

Before this, Gregory had reportedly failed 5 NFL drug tests. This is number 6.

One source close to Gregory tells us, "He has a problem quitting."

We've reached out to Gregory's rep multiple times.

Dallas Cowboys receiver Cole Beasley wants to make two things clear -- he is NOT a LeBron James fan and was NOT imitating the Cavs superstar with his TD celebration this weekend against the Browns.

Beasley caused a stir with Cleveland fans after his 2nd quarter TD grab on Sunday when his 'saucy feet' dance got confused with LBJ's famous chalk toss pre-game ritual ... leaving fans to assume CB was mocking the Chosen One.

Turns out Beasley was not throwing any shade at the King ... telling 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, "I would never imitate anything LeBron James does."

"He's not my type of guy. I'm a Kobe guy," Beasley says. "He goes to the bucket like he's a running back and wants to cry when someone touches his arm. He's just not my type of guy, man."

BTW ... LBJ is a HUGE Cowboys fan ... but Beasley clearly doesn't care.
