Tony Romo on @PardonMyTake:
"I'm not a guy with big regrets, I guess you could say. The only regret I guess I would have is that... my job was to bring a Super Bowl to Dallas and I didn't do it. So that always sticks with me a little bit. Because you give your whole body, heart, soul, everything into it."
"And you just wanted that for... all the fans. The Joneses. For everybody that you're around. And so that one always sticks with me a little bit just because I had that opportunity and just wasn't able to do it. So that part of it kind of still... sits there."
"But at the end it was like... I could go somewhere else and do it. Because I was like, I gotta win a Super Bowl. It's literally what you play the game for. Nothing else matters."
"And it just was like... but would that be the same? If I went somewhere else and did it?"
"Because at that point I'd known the game at such a high level. My last 20, 25 games, we were pretty successful. When healthy. But I was getting injured more often. Body breaks down in some ways through the years."
"...I think just... it was as simple as it just wouldn't feel as... important... it would be important to me, but it was for the people I was around. All the fans that we had."

A few #Cowboys training camp dates that were just released by the NFL:

August 11: Cowboys joint practice @ Rams

Dak Prescott said that Quinnen Williams reminded the team that he’s been in the league seven years and hasn’t made the playoffs.
Dak: “I told him I’ll get you to the playoffs, but I need you to go help us win it.”
DC Christian Parker Leaders who have stood out: "It starts up front. Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Rashan Gary, those guys have taken a significant step forward in the era of the pro habits. How we practice, their habits in the meeting rooms, pre-practice, post-practice." #dallascowboys
Cowboys DC Christian Parker when asked by @TimCowlishaw if he’s comfortable with the title “Defensive Coordinator/Franchise Savior”:
“The first one, yes. Because that’s what I do. The second one, no. Because it’s about the collective and I think that we’re all equally responsible for that, for the good and the bad. I’m just trying to do my part.”
