Dallas Cowboys

Deion Sanders says he's still upset about Dez Bryant's controversial non-catch ... saying it was the right call under the current rules -- BUT THE RULE NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!

"[The NFL needs] to evaluate the rules and change the rules in the offseason," Sanders says.

"I don't like it. I don't agree with it."

The best part -- the photog tells Sanders he saw him make a bunch of catches like that back in the day, but the refs never called 'em back.

Deion's response ... classic.

He dominated on defense for the Dallas Cowboys ... but now former Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Ellis is quarterbacking his first Hollywood feature film -- and he's got some pretty big stars on board.

TMZ Sports has learned Ellis -- who made millions during his 11-year NFL career -- is the executive producer on a movie called "Carter High" ... starring Vivica A. Fox, Charles S. Dutton and David Banner.

The movie is based on the real life 1988 Carter High School football team -- a team that was rocked by scandal following allegations of players committing armed robbery and cheating in the classroom.

"As the executive producer, my role was to fill in wherever was needed. I tried to make sure everything flowed," Ellis says.

Ellis says his team reached out to former NFL star Jessie Armstead -- who was on the '88 Carter team -- and got him to participate in the movie, which Greg hopes to release around Thanksgiving.

"This is something I'd like to continue to do," Greg says about his new career ... "It's a lot of work but I like to inspire and shock people. Movies can make a huge impact on lives.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones just appeared on "Mike & Mike" on ESPN radio and told the guys he's got two seats for Chris Christie to attend the game this weekend in Green Bay.

Hopefully, he'll get a third seat ... so Chris can bring a guest.

Chris Christie got himself into one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations with the Dallas Cowboys ... so says Sen. Marco Rubio who tells TMZ Sports this won't end well for the NJ Gov.

As everyone sits and waits to see if Christie once again joins Jerry Jones in the owner's box when the team takes on the Green Bay Packers this weekend ... Rubio says, "He can't win either way."

Good news for Draya Michele ... sounds like she's gonna get her engagement ring!!!

Bad news for Draya Michele ... sounds like she's gonna have to be patient!

Draya's BF, Dallas Cowboys star Orlando Scandrick appeared on "Fox Sports Live Countdown" On FS1 (airing tonight at 9 PM PT, 12 ET) and was asked if he'll be hitting the diamond store anytime soon.

He blushed. He raved about Draya ... but he also bobbed and weaved like a champ.

Bottom line -- Scandrick says it'll all work itself out "in due time."

So ... congrats???

GLAAD is probably gonna have a thing or two to say about this one ...

Because a big country music star just took a cheap shot at Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Gov. Chris Christie live on ESPN ... and let's put it this way, he suggested there were shenanigans in the owner's box.

Kinky Friedman -- a country singer/wannabe politician/author/avid cigar smoker -- just appeared on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" to talk to Bob Ley about the famous hug during last weekend's playoff game.

His response ... well, you just have to watch the clip. Unreal.

"Basketball Wives" star Draya Michele has been called many things ... but subtle isn't one of 'em ... and last night she told her BF Orlando Scandrick it's time to pony up for a RING!!!

Draya was leaving Boa Steakhouse on Sunset when we asked if her Dallas Cowboys superstar BF has thought about how he's going to spend his playoff bonus money.

That's when Draya dropped the not-so-subtle hint to TMZ Sports ... saying, "I don't plan for other people's money ... but I hope that he has a nice investment that he's going to buy that has to do with rings and things and sparkly stuff."

She playfully added, "I like diamonds!"

No pressure, Scandrick.

Jerry Jones says Gov. Chris Christie is no bandwagon Cowboys fan -- he's been a supporter for 50 years and has become "part of [the team's] mojo."

Of course, Christie has been taking some serious heat ever since he was seen bear hugging the NFL owner in the owner's box at Cowboys Stadium this past weekend ... as the team defeated the Lions.

"Listen, he's a Cowboy through-and-through ... he's part of our mojo," Jones said during an interview on 105.3 THE FAN Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Jerry says if Christie's "mojo" can help the team go all the way to the Super Bowl ... "he outta be looked at as the President of the United States."

Jones takes it a step further ... and says Christie might be the most "deep-seated" Cowboys fan he's ever had in the owner's box -- and says he hopes CC joins the team in Green Bay this weekend.

The Mayor of Bergenfield, New Jersey is calling out Chris Christie -- telling TMZ Sports the Governor is "wrong" for jumping on the Dallas Cowboys bandwagon.

Of course, Christie has been under fire from all sorts of Jerseyans for bear-hugging Jerry Jones in the owner's box at Cowboys Stadium yesterday when when Dallas solidified their lead over the Detroit Lions.

Mayor Norman Schmelz says he loves Christie and thinks he's a great governor ... "but when it comes to football, he's wrong."

We also spoke with ex-NFL star Jon Runyan -- a former U.S. Congressman from NJ -- who says Christie's allegiance to Dallas is "unfortunate" ... especially with so many people from Jersey being fans of the Eagles, Giants and Jets.

"Truly, I get why people are upset. But I love his passion for the game. It's unfortunate he's rooting for [the Eagles'] arch rival."

Though Runyan says he does respect the fact that Christie "doesn't let anyone tell him what he can or can't do."

The gifts just keep on coming for the Dallas Cowboys ... this time it was DeMarco Murray who spoiled the offense with fancy watches to thank them for his record-setting season.

We spoke Umberto Cipolla -- CEO of Orefici Watches -- who tells us DeMarco bought 22 watches for his teammates just before Christmas ... carefully selecting each piece for specific players based on individual style and taste.

Cipolla wouldn't tell us exactly how much cash Murray dropped ... but said each watch runs between $700 and $900 ... so, it wasn't exactly a cheap shopping trip.

We're told Murray claimed he wanted to buy the gifts to show his teammates how grateful he is for helping him dominate this season.

FYI -- Murray broke the team's single-season rushing record and will most likely sign a HUGE contract next year.

It's just the latest gift-giving act from Murray -- who had already hooked up his lineman with $1,300 iMac computers earlier this season.

Three Dallas Cowboys legends are back on the same sideline ... rooting on their daughters who all play in the same elite youth soccer league ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett and Charles Haley -- together they have 9 Super Bowls, 17 Pro Bowls and 2 Hall of Fame busts -- and they get together every weekend as soccer dads.

"[Our daughters] are out there ballin', Dorsett tells us ... "The apples don't fall far from the tree."

Tony -- who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in '94 -- says his daughter plays on the same team with Haley's kid ... and even though Emmit's daughter plays on another squad, "They go head to head sometimes."

"When we're together, we talk about football. It's not usually about the old days. We talk about what's going on in the league now," Dorsett says.

Tony says the guys are all very supportive of each other's kids -- "All of the girls are very talented" -- but says Charles' daughter is a star among stars.

Roc Boys were in the building last night ... when Jay Z hit up MetLife Stadium to watch his newest client, Dez Bryant, tear up the NY Giants ... and even made time to shmooze with Jerry Jones.

Of course, Jay's Roc Nation Sports just signed #88 ... and Dez couldn't be happier about it -- throwing up the Roc Nation sign after both of his touchdowns last night.

Dez is reportedly gunning for one of the biggest contracts in NFL history ... something over the $100 million mark ... and after last night's performance, ya gotta think Jay's more confident than ever that he'll get it.

Can't knock the hustle.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was officially welcomed to the Roc Nation Sports family this weekend with a huge party at Jay Z's NYC nightclub ... complete with champagne, hot chicks and expensive jewelry.

It all went down at Jay's 40/40 Club ... where Dez sipped on expensive Ace of Spades champagne and D'USSE Cognac.

Also, check out Dez's brand new chain -- the Roc Nation Sports logo -- we're guessing a gift from his new agency.

Of course, Dez fired his old agent and signed with Jay's group earlier this month -- and clearly, he's fired up about it.

Did you know ... Dean Cain is super good friends with Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett?

Like total BFFs

So, when Dean told us he's picking the 'Boys to win the Super Bowl -- is he using his head ... or his heart???

It ain't bad being Dez Bryant ... 'cause the Dallas Cowboys superstar just got a SWAGGED out luxury watch worth $61k ... and it was FREE!!

Here's what we know ... Bryant is now a brand-ambassador for Hublot -- and the CEO of the company is so pumped about their partnership, he met up with Dez in London to personally gift him with one of the sickest watches they make.

It's called the "Hublot Big Bang Unico King Gold Pave" -- made with 18 karat King gold (gold blended with platinum and copper) and encrusted with more than 300 DIAMONDS!!

The timing's fitting ... as we previously reported, Dez signed with Roc Nation Sports earlier this week ... and Hublot is super popular with celebs like Jay-Z.

And the winner is Dez.

Tony Romo's entire family took the trip to London to watch the Dallas Cowboys play the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend ... and even took some selfies with Michael Irvin on the way.

Romo's parents -- along with his wife Candice Crawford -- hopped on a plane destined for Heathrow early this morning.

So, is it a sign that Romo will suit up and play this weekend? We think so ... because you don't fly halfway across the world to watch someone stand on the sidelines.

Also, Irvin tweeted about it ... saying, "Headed to London. Flying with Tony Romo's Dad & Wife. Im receiving that as A GOOD SIGN....:) I don't care what u think!"

Stay tuned ...
