Retired volunteers
receive service awards
By Alex Mann

As numerous volunteer organizations and noprofits across the Texas Panhandle continue towards
their individual goals, the constant need for experienced volunteers can be a difficult problem for many
groups to deal with. This issue has inspired one organization to gather a massive pool of volunteers for
the very purpose of supplying local nonprofits with
experienced, eager volunteers.
The Retired and Seniors Volunteer Program
(RSVP) recently hosted an awards ceremony in the
First United Methodist Church Garden Room to honor the men and women who choose to volunteer their
time, labor, and wisdom. “It’s a recognition banquet
for the volunteers in Borger,” says Gloria Goyne
with the RSVP volunteer office, “We have about
1500 volunteers who work through us, not for us.
We’re a nonprofit organization. That’s across Perryton, Pampa, Wellington, Borger, Hereford, Amarillo,
and Clarendon.”
For those who may not have heard of RSVP, the
organization is not only a value for nonprofits, it offers opportunities for those seeking new fulfillment
in retirement. “It’s a great organization, because it
gets people out who aren’t ready to just sit at home.”
Gloria says, “It utilizes a lot of the potential that they
have, and a lot of the experience that they have as
volunteers. A lot of nonprofits can’t afford to hire
staff, so it’s a win-win for the volunteers and the nonprofits.” She continues, “We have 40 years across the
area... It’s been going strong. Because we’re federal
and state granted it sometimes gets a little iffy, but so
far so good.”
As for the awards ceremony itself, RSVP volunteers were individually recognized for their years of
service.

ly she proposed several
solutions including having more trash receptacles
or the possibility of emptying the bins over the
weekends.
The board listened
readily to Martin’s comments and tasked City
Manager Eddie Edwards
with investigating possible solutions for the
problem.
Overall the board supported the efforts of Martin to come up with solutions to improve the park
for local kids and visitors.

Borger City Council
met Tuesday, September
1, for their regular board
meeting to primarily discuss the upcoming year’s
budget and taxes. Before
those matters were heard,
Charlotte Martin, local
resident addressed the
board concerning Huber
Park.
Martin, who stated that
she lives near, and frequently walks in the park,
was concerned with the
upkeep of the park following weekend activities
throughout the summer.
Following the weekend’s
use she said, “our park is
trashed, just trashed...the
trashcans are overflowing.”
“I don’t believe in
walking past a piece of
trash without picking it
up,” she said, “but the
trashcans are all full.”
Martin is primarily concerned for the kids in
Borger. “I think our kids
should see a clean park,
our kids are important
and they deserve a clean
park.” Although she understands that changes
cannot take place instant-

The various national and state parks across Texas are
treasured by locals and visitors for different reasons.
While most offer camping, hiking, and stunning scenery,
each park is unique in itself, and the landmarks, rangers, programs, and events can vary greatly between the
different regions of Texas. Apart from its own unique
scenery, recreation, water-sports, and landscape, Caprock Canyons State Park is proud to claim the exclusive
honor of hosting the state’s official herd of high plains
bison.
“The bison have been released to the whole park,
they’re out and about,” says Dawson Enlow of the Caprock Park Service, “We’ve got a lot of campers, and the
lake is up. We’ve got swimming areas open, the boat
dock is open too... people have been doing a lot of fishing. The hiking is good, and the weather has been fantastic.”
While the landscape itself of Caprock might be preserved in its original state, one aspect of the park is still
growing, and changing. “We do have some young bison, some calves coming up.” Dawson says, “They’re
the newest part of the herd.” After a staggering amount
of bison were killed off during the development of the
western frontier, an idea to preserve the animals and
land was put forward just in time. “The park actually
started with Mary and Charles Goodnight.” Dawson explains, “Back in the 1800’s, they collected six calves,
and these bison are actually full blooded bison; there’s
no mixture of cow or anything else in them. They’re the
original southern bison herd, and now they’re the official State Bison Herd. We have about 125 bison right
now, including the new calves. The herd’s growing.”
With the long weekend approaching, Dawson challenged his fellow Texas get out and explore the great
state that inspires such pride in its residents.

Charles Smith
Diane “Dee” Chisum
Diane (Dee) Chisum
entered the pearly gates
peacefully on the morning
of September 1, 2015.
Funeral services will
be held at 2:00 pm on
Thursday, September 3 at
Wesley United Methodist
Church. Interment will
follow at Highland Park
Cemetery under the direction of Minton Chatwell
Funeral Directors of Borger.
She was born Mary Lois Diane Heitgers on November 29, 1943 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Charles and
Gladys Heitgers. She met the love of her life, Cecil
Ray Chisum on the other end of a switchboard while
they were both serving in the military. They married on
May 24, 1966 in Montgomery, Alabama only 3 days after meeting face-to-face. Theirs was a union that would
last until his final breath on August 12, 2007. Oh what
a glorious reunion they’ve had now. Our parents were
not perfect, but I can tell you that not a single day went
by that we ever doubted their love for one another. That
my friends, is rare. It’s a true gift and a blessing they
left upon our hearts.
Dee was a vibrant, spunky woman with many
talents and interests. Though born and raised a Yankee, she was truly a Texan. She was a social butterfly
who loved the company of others. She worked at the
Borger Kmart for many years and also sold Tupperware, Home Interiors and Avon. She loved collecting
things, including but not limited to, Indians, Elvis, John
Wayne, crosses, and Coca Cola. She loved the Dallas Cowboys and called Jason Witten “her boy.” She
was patriotic and very proud to serve her country in the
United States Army. She was also proud of her Native
American and German heritage. She spent a lot of time
researching her genealogy. She was very involved in
her children’s lives. She worked as homeroom mothers
at school and also spent years as a Brownie/Girl Scout
and Boy Scout leader. She loved animals and her dogs
were four-legged children born of another mother. Her
last furry companions were Blondie and Sassy Jane. As
sweet and kind as she could be, she was also quite the
spit-fire, very funny and in later years could be a bit of
a pill.
Mrs. Chisum was preceded in death by her parents,
two brothers, Everett and Tom, and infant twin daughters, Terrie and Jerrie.
Survivors include one daughter, Tammy Pfeiffer and
son-in-law Fred and their children Ekaterina, Alex, and
Ian of Loveland, Co.; son, Chris Chisum and daughterin-law Kelley and their children Bailey, Natalie and
Nicole of Borger; son, Tim Chisum and his children
Dustin, Starla, Aspen and Trevor.
Dee was not a person you will ever forget if you had
the privilege of knowing her. Her time here was too
short for our liking, but the timing was perfect in our
Father’s will. She missed our Daddy terribly and was
ready to go home. She was a woman of faith who knew
her Lord and Savior and is now sitting with him at his
table and walking with him on streets of gold.

Caprock Canyons
Continued from page 1
“Texas has so much to offer.” Dawson says, “I
come from New Mexico, and as I came to Texas, it
was just so big, and there was so much to offer; fishing, hiking, water kayaking, water sports, Caprock
has bison, and each of the state parks offers different activities. There’s so much going on in Texas
that people really need to get out and explore. They
need to get out and learn about Texas, and these state
parks are the perfect place to do that in a safe environment... People live in Texas, but they need to experience it.” Whether visitors are eager to set up camp on
the waterfront, or seclude themselves in nature, Dawson explains that Caprock is ready to accommodate.
“We have camping by the lake if people want to be
there, we have camping by the red rock canyon and
the cliff areas, which are beautiful. We have primitive
camping where you hike two miles, camp, and then
explore other trails. It’s such a variety, there are sites
for people who want to stay close to people, and there
are sites for people who really want to be separate and
get out into nature.”
While nature lovers and enthusiasts are always
welcome, Dawson was especially eager to encourage
families and kids to get out and explore the wonders
of nature. “Bring the family, nothing is better to bring
a family together.” He says, “Get them out of the
house, and have them experience something different… People remember these things, the bison, the
views, the park, and the beauty the Good Lord made.
These parks are an incredible way to spend your Labor Day. The family is so important, and doing something together as a family is good for everyone. It’s
so special for kids that I can’t even put it into words.
When I was a kid, that’s what I remembered. I remembered going out and camping, hiking, and looking at the bison, elk, and enjoying the outdoors.”
With the weekend quickly approaching, it would
be simple enough to write off a last minute camping trip as impossible, but Dawson urges families not
to let excuses get in the way of lifelong memories
and experiences. He says, “These days you can get
so busy and caught up with work... but this is really
a way to get out of the box and experience a special
moment that might spark a sense of adventure. A lot
of people have never experienced it, but once they
have, they keep coming back.”
City Council

Taxes to remain steady
City Manager Eddie Edwards then addressed the
board concerning the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget.
Overall the city finances are in better shape than they
have been in the past and goals are currently being
met.
Of special interest to citizens is the Ad Valorem
Tax Rate. Although there was no citizen input concerning taxes at the meeting, Edwards detailed the
goal of not raising property taxes, and was pleased
to tell the board that this year no increase will be required. The Proposed Tax rate is $0.86 per $100. That
is the same amount as the previous year’s tax rate. At
this rate, an individual with a home valued at $50,000
can expect to pay the same $430 in City Ad Valorem
taxes as in the 2014 tax year.
The council voted in favor of this budget introduction including the tax measures. The next opportunity
for the public to speak regarding the matter will be
September 8 at 1:30 p.m.
Volunteer Awards
Continued from page 1
Gloria says, “I think the volunteers have a lot of pride
when they’re awarded… for the pins they get at 5, 10
15, 20, 25, 30, some even have 35 years volunteering.”
She continues, “They delight in it, and some of them, if
they don’t get their 5 year pins, will come after ya! They
all deserve it as far as I’m concerned, but you’ve got to
make sure they’re awarded for their right years.”
While nonprofits across the Texas Panhandle continue to seek the volunteers of RSVP for their decades
of experience, Gloria insists the volunteers’ true value
comes from hearts eager to serve, and a love for their
communities. “I’ve been in RSVP for 17 years, and I
love it.” Gloria concludes, “I’ve met some incredible
volunteers, some people who are just wonderful.”

Construction project on
track for completion by mid-Fall
By Tabitha Fleming
Staff Reporter
The West Texas High School
Sports Complex construction project
continues in Stinnet as athletes and
fans eagerly anticipate the completion
of the new facilities. The PlemonsStinnet-Phillips CISD met Monday
night, August 31, for their regular
board meeting and now routine
construction update from Western
Builders and PBK Sports.
“Essentially we’re on schedule,”
said Superintendent Bill Wiggins.
“Right now, we’ve got seats being
installed, we’re hoping to have it open
by October 27.”
These final stages of the project
are some of the most exciting but
timelines are tight. “Last year, we
were handed the keys to the football
stadium at 5 o’clock and played our
first game at seven. It was really down
to the wire.”
The project seems to be moving
along at a steady pace but Wiggins
has learned from the past two years
of construction that it’s important
to be flexible and ready to roll with
the punches. Those challenges
are common when it comes to
construction projects. This past year
Veterans Memorial High School in
Corpus Christi, and Tom O’Connor,
Jr. Athletic Center in Victoria, both
found their construction projects
delayed following heavy unexpected
rains.
“In the past two years, I’ve seen
all kinds of things,” said Wiggins,
explaining that while spirits are high,
it’s important for the community to
remain supportive if any unforeseen
challenges
present
themselves.
Overall though, the project is nearing
completion. “It’s really coming
together, and starting to look like
something.” Wiggins said.
In addition to the construction
update, the board welcomed the new
district employees and heard about
the first days of school. “We’re off
to a great school year,” Wiggins said,
“it was a really good first week of
school.”
The
Plemons-Stinnet-Phillips
CISD will meet again September 21,
the meeting is open to the public.
Critical Incident / Traffic Detour

The Texas Department of Public
Safety (DPS) has responded to a critical

The Color of Things

My friend, Nathan,
is an electrician at the
university where I work.
He has put in long hours
lately because the campus
is finishing a new natural
gas heating facility to
replace the old coal-fired
one. It is huge, and the
equipment inside will heat
every building on campus
with heat to spare.
To use the surplus heat,
turbines were installed
that would generate
enough electricity for
most of the campus. It is
new and innovative, but
it also required a new
electrical grid, new wiring, and new lines all over
campus.
That is where my
friend came into the picture. Being an electrician,
he was responsible for
a lot of the new wiring.
Since it was more than
he could handle alone,
ads were posted for two
students, skilled in that
area, to work under his
direction.
Two young men were
hired, and Nathan parceled out work to each of
them according to their
abilities. As they showed
they knew what they were
doing, he gave them more
and more responsibilities.
As the project was
winding to a close after
months of hard work,
they had to replace one
last underground wire to
the final building. Nathan
took his equipment and
went to the area they
needed to lay the electric
cable. He located where
the old wire was and used
red spray paint to mark a
line above it on the grass.
He then assigned the two
young men to take the
trencher, which looked
like a giant, mobile chainsaw, and cut the trench.
After an hour or so, the
young men came back.
“We can’t see the line
you marked,” the first one
said.
“I’m sure I marked
it as well as possible,”
Nathan replied. “Are you
positive you are in the
right place?”
The young men told
him what lawn they
were on, and it sounded
right. However, Nathan
decided he better check.
They didn’t need a trench
cut across the wrong
lawn. That had happened
before, and the landscape
person who had to replace
the sprinklers was not
happy.
Nathan was just heading out with the two
young men when an
older electrician, who also
worked there, stopped
him.
“Let me go with them,”
he said. “You have plenty
to do.”
Nathan thanked him,
and the older man left
with the two young men.
He returned after about
fifteen minutes.
“Did you show them
where I marked the line?”
Nathan asked
The old man nodded.
“I went right to it. It was
obvious. I showed them
one of your marks and
left them to it.”
A little while later, Nathan finished up the work
he was doing and decided
he better check to see
how the trench was coming along. To his dismay,
he found it had been cut
across his well-marked
line at a 90 degree angle,
destroying much of a formerly beautiful lawn.
Nathan stopped them.
“What the devil are you
doing? You are supposed to follow the line I
marked.”
The young man running
the machine hung his
head. “I’m sorry, Nathan.
I couldn’t see it so I just
guessed where it was.”
Nathan took a deep breath
to calm himself even as
he spoke. “What do you
mean you couldn’t see it?
It’s clearly marked.”
“I’m color blind,” the
young man said. “Red
and green look the same
to me.”
The other young man
gasped as he spoke to the
first. “You’re color blind?
So am I.”
“Why didn’t you tell
me?” Nathan asked.
The young men just
shrugged.
Then Nathan thought of
something else that made
him shudder. These two
color blind young men
had been doing color
coded wiring in the buildings all summer.

(May 21 to June 20)
If you are unhappy, this feeling
within you will make you short-tempered with others, especially neighbors and relatives. Be aware of this.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Your dealings with a female
friend could be challenging today.
Don’t get hung up on who is right or
wrong, or who is winning or losing.
Mellow out.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Relations with authority figures
(parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and
the police) are tense today. You might
not like what they say. They might
not like what you say. Don’t do anything that you will later regret.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Avoid controversial subjects like
politics, religion and racial issues today, because you will only end up in
an argument. People are both feisty
and extra-sensitive.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Disputes about shared property,
inheritances or anything you own
jointly with others might take place
today. Think about your long-term
objective. Don’t get hung up on petty
details.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
The Moon is opposite your sign
today, which means you have to compromise with others. Unfortunately,
you might be at odds with your boss
or a parent. Chill out.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Disputes with co-workers are
likely today. Knowing this ahead of
time, demonstrate grace under pressure. Don’t let anyone get under your
skin.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Be patient with children today.
Likewise, be patient with romantic
partners, because conflict between
the Moon and Mars makes people
argumentative. Yikes!
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Avoid family dramas today. You
can do this by being patient or steering clear of someone if you know an
argument is brewing. Do what you
can to keep the peace.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
At some point today, you will
give someone a piece of your mind.
You will say what you mean and
mean what you say.

Autumn marks a great time to clear away clutter
Clutter is a concern for
many homeowners. Clutter can gradually accumulate, and over time a home
can turn from a welcoming
respite to a claustrophobic
place overwhelmed by
items of little or no value.
Homeowners who have
battled clutter in the past
often find that it is most
likely to accumulate over
the winter, when frigid temperatures outside
drive more people indoors. Spending more
time indoors means more
trash indoors. Newspapers and magazines might
be easy to discard when
the weather is warm, but
a trip outside to discard
such items takes less precedence when it must be
made in below freezing
temperatures.
The likelihood that even
the cleanliest of homeowners might accumulate some clutter over the
winter only highlights the
importance of clearing a
house of clutter in the fall.
While clearing clutter can
seem like an arduous task,
the following tips can
make the project much
easier.
* Clean one room
or area at a time.
A disorganized approach to getting
organized is likely
to waste time and
may even prove
fruitless. Work your
way through your
home or apartment
one room at a time
rather than jumping from room to
room. Have boxes
or crates designated for items you
find that belong in
other rooms, and
place items in the
appropriate boxes
as you clean rather
than returning items
to the right room as
you find them. Once
you have finished a room,
move on to the next one
and try to finish a room on
the same day you started.
* Invest in a paper
shredder. Old bills, bank
statements, receipts, and
other once-important papers have a way of accumulating on desks, in
drawers and on counters.
Such documents often do
not need to be held onto,
but men and women are
hesitant to discard them
because they contain personal information. A paper shredder is a great investment for homeowners
and apartment dwellers
alike and can be the safest
way to discard documents
with potentially sensitive
information. It’s also a
friend to anyone attempting to clear clutter. Many
shredders can shred multiple pages at a time, making them a quick and safe
way to discard documents
that have been littering a
home long after they were
useful.
* Decide to donate some
items. Many unused items
lying around your house
can likely be donated to a
worthy cause, which can
help motivate you to clean
out your closet of all those
extra sweaters and other
items you no longer wear.
Encourage fellow members of the household to
donate as well, and
set aside a few boxes
for clothes that will
be donated and those
that will be discarded. Donated items
need not be clothes,
as many goodwill
organizations accept
appliances and other
products as well.
* Put seasonal
items away. Storing
seasonal items like
patio furniture and
swimsuits can help
reduce the likelihood
that clutter will build
up in the months
ahead. Pack items
from your summer
wardrobe together
and store them in a
suitcase in the back
of your closet. This frees
up room for your fall and
winter clothing and helps
you avoid overstuffed
drawers.In addition to
clothing, store seasonal furniture neatly in the
back of your garage or
storage shed, pulling out
items like snow shovels
or snow blowers you may
need come the winter.
* Tackle the hall closet. Hall closets are con-
venient dropoff spots for
items of all shapes, uses
and sizes, as the hall closet
is not necessarily opened
each day and therefore
men and women can simply ignore it as it gradually accumulates more and
more random items. But
hall closets can be valuable storage spaces when
used appropriately. Designate a significant amount
of time to tackle hallway
closets in your home so
you can thoroughly reduce the clutter within
them and get back to using
the closets as the valuable,
organized storage units
they’re intended to be.
Discuss having different
purposes for each closet,
such as one devoted to
cleaning items, another to
coats, and so on. Resolve
to keep the floors in each
closet clear of items, as
clutter tends to be on the
floor and then work its
way upward, eventually
encompassing the entire
closet. Once the hallway
closets have been cleared,
work hard to keep them
clean as autumn turns into
winter.

Redskins’ Jackson can relate
to what RG3 is going through
ASHBURN, Va. (AP)
— DeSean Jackson said he
can relate to what Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is
going through.
After Griffin lost the
starting job on Monday,
Jackson compared it to his
leaving the Eagles after
the 2013 season.
"It's just unfortunate he
has to be in this situation
like that," Jackson said on
Tuesday.
"But this is the game
we're in, this is the league
we're in, this is the NFL.
Nothing's for certain. I had
to learn that for myself a
couple years ago."
Coach Jay Gruden announced that Kirk Cousins
will be the team's starter
after Cousins performed
well in Saturday's preseason game.
Griffin was unavailable for the game via the
league's concussion protocol.
While empathizing with
Griffin, Jackson said it
"means a lot" for the firstteam offense just to know
who will be under center. He also expects to be
ready to play with Cousins on Week 1 after dealing with a sprained right
shoulder this preseason.
In the interim, Colt
McCoy will play the entire final preseason game
Thursday against Jacksonville. Cousins will be the
backup in case of injury,
Gruden said.
"Unfortunately,
we
didn't really have time
to get a guy in here and
teach him the playbook,"
Gruden said.
Cousins completed 20
of 27 passes for 190 yards,
a touchdown and an interception against Baltimore
on Saturday.
Griffin had completed 6
of 13 passes in two previous preseason games, and
the Redskins said he sustained a concussion in the
second against Detroit on
Aug. 20.
Griffin hasn't said how
— or even if — the injury
occurred, setting off speculation.
Jackson also endured a
frenzy when Philadelphia
released him in March
2014 amid suggestions
the move was connected
to off-field issues. He had
career-high 1,332 yards
receiving in the 2013 season, and signed with the
Redskins in April 2014.
Jackson said Griffin
will have an opportunity
to bounce back.
"The best advice I could
tell him is just to keep his
head high," Jackson said.
"When he has an opportunity to play again, wherever it's going to be in this
league, I definitely think
he'll do what he needs to
do to get it done."
Jackson and other offensive players said the
offense's principles of
balance wouldn't change
with Cousins, considered
a more traditional pocket
passer.
Browns’ Manziel says sore elbow
improving, no surgery needed
BEREA, Ohio (AP)
— Browns quarterback
Johnny Manziel has dealt
with a sore right arm since
before he lifted the Heisman Trophy.
Manziel, who hasn't
thrown a pass in practice
since Aug. 23 because of
elbow soreness and tendinitis, said those issues date
back to his freshman year
at Texas A&M — when
he made a dazzling play
almost every game for the
Aggies. The 22-year-old
is confident that rest will
help his elbow and the issue won't derail his NFL
career.
"I'm really not concerned about it at all," he
said following Tuesday's
practice.
However, he and the
Browns were alarmed
enough to seek second
opinions, and they reached
out to famed orthopedic surgeon Dr. James
Andrews to make sure
they were taking the correct course of action. The
Browns believe treatment
and rest should alleviate
the soreness, and Manziel
said he has been told surgery isn't necessary.
"No, this is an injury,
that from everything I've
heard, no matter what the
case it wouldn't require
that (surgery)," he said.
"It's just sore, just a little
bit of overthrowing and
I'm making sure I'm icing
and doing what I need to
do."
The Browns have limited him to just handing
off during practice and
they shut down Manziel
from playing in the team's
final two exhibitions. If he
had been healthy, Manziel
would have taken some
snaps with Cleveland's
starters against Tampa
Bay and would have likely started this Thursday's
game in Chicago. Not being able to get on the field
has been frustrating.
The injury has also
slowed the positive momentum Manziel has built
since the offseason. He
has impressed the Browns
with his commitment following a rough rookie
year, which was followed
by a 10-week stay at in a
Pennsylvania rehab facility specializing in drug and
alcohol addiction.
"Yeah, it's tough," he
said. "I wanted to be out
there last week bad."
Manziel feels he should
be able to resume throwing next week and that the
added rest will allow him
to be ready for the Sep. 13
season opener against the
New York Jets.
Because he won't be
throwing as much during the regular season as
he did in training camp,
Manziel doesn't think the
soreness will "creep back"
and be a problem. However, he also conceded the
soreness may never "go
away completely" and acknowledged dealing with
some last year.
"Your elbow will get
sore just from being a
quarterback and throwing,
but that's not anything out
of the ordinary," he said.
Manziel said other
teams were aware of his
elbow issues in college
before he was drafted with
the No. 22 overall pick by
Cleveland. As far as Manziel knows, other teams
weren't scared off by his
past.

Cowboys put Scandrick on
IR, make other moves to get to 75
IRVING, Texas (AP) —
The Cowboys have placed
cornerback Orlando Scandrick on season-ending
injured reserve following
surgery for torn ligaments
in his right knee amid
moves to get down to 75
players.
Offensive
lineman
Chaz Green and linebacker Mark Nzeocha, a pair of
injured 2015 draft picks,
will miss at least the first
six weeks of the season
after moving to reserved
lists Tuesday. Green, a
third-round pick, had offseason hip surgery. Nzeocha, a seventh-rounder, is
recovering from a knee
injury in college.
The Cowboys waived
three players with injury
designations: defensive
Kenneth Boatright (neck),
running back Michael Hill
(concussion) and tackle
R.J. Dill, who faces a
four-game suspension for
violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.
Dallas also waived tight
end Brandon Barden, linebacker Jonathan Brown
and receivers Antwan
Goodley and David Porter.
McFadden on board if Dallas
replaces Murray by committee
IRVING, Texas (AP)
— Darren McFadden
wants to be one of the replacements for NFL rushing champion DeMarco
Murray.
If he is one of two, or
even three, running backs
trying to match the production Murray gave NFC
East champion Dallas last
season, that's fine, too.
McFadden is used to it.
"It's something I've
done pretty much throughout my career, at school or
being with the Raiders,"
said McFadden, the fourth
overall pick out of Arkansas by Oakland in 2008.
"It's one of those deals, it's
the NFL, it's a long season."
The Cowboys are familiar with McFadden's history, starting with owner
Jerry Jones and executive
vice president of personnel Stephen Jones being
fellow Razorbacks.
Felix Jones — McFadden's backfield mate in Arkansas — went to Dallas
18 picks later at No. 22 in
the first round seven years
ago, and he spent five seasons with the Cowboys before Murray took the lead
role. The Cowboys added
McFadden as an affordable free agent in March, a
day after Murray signed a
big contract with division
rival Philadelphia.
Joseph Randle, Murray's backup for two seasons as a fifth-round pick,
still appears to be the
front-runner to start the
opener Sept. 13 at home
against the New York Giants. But McFadden made
his biggest move yet last
weekend, rushing for 37
yards on four carries in a
28-14 loss to Minnesota.
"That's a glimpse of
what I can do out there if
I get a little room to run,"
said McFadden, who had
seven mostly disappointing and injury-plagued
seasons with the Raiders.
"I feel like everybody got
a chance to see that. It's
something that I just want
to keep building on."
The Cowboys don't appear any closer to having
settled on a primary back
than a month ago when
they reported to training
camp in California.
Jerry Jones isn't concerned because his primary consideration from the
start of camp was health,
and Dallas showed it by
sitting McFadden for the
first two weeks with a minor hamstring injury.
"I'm not taking anything
away from reps or honing
your game or getting better," Jones said Tuesday
on his radio show. "But
basically what I am saying is we know a lot about
what a lot of players can
do."
McFadden hinted at
the plan for Thursday's
preseason finale against
Houston, and seemed to
suggest he would be sitting along with Randle
and Lance Dunbar, the
third back in the equation.
If so, the bulk of the work
would go to the long shots
to make the Dallas roster.
And it would mean the
top three have had all the
work they will get in the
preseason, which is fine
by Randle.
"We're ready to go," he
said.
Coach Jason Garrett
said he believes all three
got enough work, even
though Randle missed
some time with muscle
tightness in his side and
back and Dunbar was out
almost two weeks with a
sprained right ankle.
"I think we have a pretty
good feel for what each of
those guys is and what we
expect from them," Garrett said. "There has been
good competition and I
think they feel the competition to make the football
team but also for roles on
the team."
Randle has 13 carries
for 45 yards in the preseason to McFadden's 41
yards on seven rushes.
Dunbar has just one carry.
"They just gave us a little taste, just a little taste,"
Randle said. "It's still an
opportunity to go out there
and get better and to show
what you can do."
The next opportunity
is likely when the carries
count against the Giants.
Judge: No ‘Deflategate’
ruling yet, despite bogus tweet
NEW YORK (AP) —
A New York judge has
reiterated that he'll rule by
Friday whether New England Patriots quarterback
Tom Brady must serve a
four-game suspension for
"Deflategate."
Judge Richard Berman
issued a one-sentence order Tuesday saying he
planned to rule by Friday
whether the NFL properly
followed its collective bargaining agreement with
players when it suspended
Brady for his role in using
underinflated footballs in a
playoff game. He said at a
hearing Monday attended
by Brady and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
that he hoped to rule Tuesday or Wednesday, but
would decide by Friday
for sure.
His order Tuesday came
out after an apparently
new and bogus Twitter account with his photograph
claimed he would rule by
4 p.m. Tuesday. The tweet
did not come from his
chambers.
The NFL wants Brady's
suspension upheld. The
NFL Players Association
wants it struck down.
