AboutDuke Ha Expertise I have extensive knowledge of the 1990's-Present Dallas Cowboys teams. Specifically, team uniforms, equipment, and so forth. I own numerous Cowboys memorabilia and would love to one day write a book on the evolution of the team's uniforms dating back to their inception in 1960. I may not be able to answer most Cowboys questions prior to the 1990's as I was but a youth at the time :-).
Experience I make annual trips to see the Cowboys at Texas Stadium. I have a library of Cowboys books, dvd's and VHS tapes. I have recorded nearly all games dating back since the 1998 season. I am an artist, so most of my collections such as cards and photos are not for value, but rather for reference. I appreciate the asthetics of the Cowboys and the game of football. As a hobby, I customize and paint McFarlane Dallas Cowboy figures to near exact detail as their live counterparts. I own several game used items, autographs, and roughly 10-12 authentic jerseys with 3 different manufacturers.
Publications I have no known publications. However, as of October 16, 2006, my written work and art has mostly been seen on the Wikipedia topic the Dallas Cowboys- uniforms/logos.
Education/Credentials Associates of Arts in Liberal Arts, Associates of Arts in Graphic Design, Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts with emphasis in Illustration. My dream would be, of course, to work for the Dallas Cowboys organization possibly for their marketing and design team. The Dallas Cowboys annual bluebooks and game programs have always interested me.

Question Does Dallas have any plans on getting a starting Cornerback, like maybe a Dante Hall? Apparently the falcons a seeking a trade. Also are the COWBOYS seeking another big play WR? Thank you for your time.
Answer Hiya Curtis,
I assumed you meant DeAngelo Hall and not Dante Hall the WR/KR for the Rams right? Although it would be awesome to have Hall and Newman, I really don't think Cornerback is a major concern to us right now. Personally, I think depth is more of our problem than anything because as you remember the Cowboys released veteran Aaron Glenn before the start of the season and our secondary is very susceptible to the big play. We had to rely on Jacques Reeves and Nate Jones.
Plus, I don't think we can afford another big contract in the secondary. We already have Terence Newman who is gonna get a huge payday after next season, Ken Hamlin has just been franchised, and both Roy Williams and Anthony Henry already have huge contracts. I think we gotta spend the cap room on some other positions. I'd like to see us get another big playmaker WR...maybe trade for Chad Johnson or Roy Williams of the Detroit Lions because both Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn are getting up there in age.
We also need to possibly re-sign Marion Barber and Flozell Adams. I think runningback is a big concern if another team snatches Barber and Julius Jones doesn't return. I personally wish Julius would return. I like him so much better than Barber. It was frustrating to me how they used him this year, but I understand that with a two-back system, you can't get all the carries. I really don't care what other Cowboy fans think, Ithink he will be great and I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the end like when we let Emmitt go and made Troy Hambrick our starter.
Well I guess we'll just have to wait and see in the next couple of months won't we Curtis. Thanks for asking and take care.
