Five things we learned about the Dallas Cowboys while watching them trounce the San Francisco...

License to complain annoyingly is hereby granted to fans of the following teams this week: Veterans of the Cry,...

With Tony Romo scrambling, Terrell Owens kept chugging down the sideline. Once the pass went up, Owens went to work. He caught the ball and turned upfield, getting pushed out of bounds after a 52-yard gain. Then he kept going, drawing more attention. With all eyes and TV cameras on him, Owens stretched his arms out to form a T, then curled them over his head to form an O.

San Francisco veteran kick returner Allen Rossum left Sunday's game at Dallas with a sprained right ankle injury sustained while waiting to return a punt. Rossum was moving to field a punt in the second quarter when he suddenly dropped to the ground. The ball then bounced over him, and was downed by the Cowboys at the 1.

As the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers prepare to meet Sunday, folks in both locker rooms might be saying, "Remember the Rams." OK, so it's not the most original thing. But it sure is apt. And the twist is that the rallying cry means opposite things to each team. For the Cowboys, their game against St.

San Francisco offensive coordinator Mike Martz has been fined $20,000 by the NFL for his criticism of the officiating at the end of the 49ers' 29-24 loss in Arizona. Martz said the team had been "screwed" by the officiating crew when the ball was spotted at the 2 1/2 -yard line for the final play of the game after a replay of a run on the previous snap by Frank Gore.

On Oct. 26, San Francisco 49ers interim coach Mike Singletary made a public spectacle out of tight end Vernon Davis.

After Davis caught a 7-yard pass and was called for unnecessary roughness during a decisive 49ers defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, Singletary removed Davis from the game.

Then, he benched him.

Then, he sent him to the locker room at the start of the fourth quarter.

And, as if that were not enough, Singletary went on a tirade in which he questioned Davis' commitment to the team.

But Davis and Singletary have clearly patched up their differences. As the 49ers head to Texas Stadium to face the Dallas Cowboys, it is Davis who is considered Singletary's biggest vocal supporter in the 49ers' locker room.

"I want coach Singletary...

After a ho-hum set of matchups and results in Week 11, everything has been dialed up in Week 12.

Mike Singletary and Mike Martz have developed a classic good-coach, bad-coach routine when it comes to Shaun Hill. After Martz is done hammering on every aspect of the San Francisco 49ers quarterback's game at practice, Hill often stops by Singletary's office to re-inflate his confidence. "Mike (Martz) can beat him up, and he needs every drop of it," interim coach Singletary said of his offensive...

Quarterback Peyton Manning on Wednesday was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Indianapolis Colts to their third consecutive win.

The San Francisco 49ers placed right tackle Jonas Jennings on injured reserve Tuesday for the third time in his four seasons with the club. Jennings underwent surgery Tuesday on his dislocated right shoulder, which has kept him out of action since it occurred in Week 2 against Seattle. He dressed but didn't play in the 49ers' (3-7) past two games, and the club eventually decided to scrap another...

Cards QB Kurt Warner is putting up wild numbers and conjuring images of his incredible '99 season.

St. Louis left tackle Orlando Pace left the Rams' game against the San Francisco 49ers in the first half Sunday because of an injured ligament in his knee, which could sideline the seven-time Pro Bowl lineman for a significant time. St. Louis also lost right guard Richie Incognito to a strained rotator cuff just before halftime.

After Shaun Hill flung himself across the goal line to score the third touchdown in the 49ers' 28-point second quarter, he flipped the ball to center Eric Heitmann for the celebratory spike. Humbled and educated by several seasons as a backup, Hill just doesn't see himself as an extraordinary Joe -- even though Joe Montana is the only other San Francisco quarterback who ever did what Hill...
