As of Tues aft - AFTER Schefter am report - the Cowboys had not made any arrangement for Jerry and Stephen & #39;to be together at home& #39; for the draft.
Goodell& #39;s memo is clear: Team officials wll draft FROM THEIR OWN HOMES. Jerry and Stephen don& #39;t live in the same home. This ain& #39;t & #39;The Waltons.& #39;
If the #Cowboys deserve examination for trying to use a surname/family edge, ESPN should also do a quick study of other NFL teams run by families. Or, hell, I guess I& #39;ll just do it. ...
#Bengals. The top four execs are & #39;Browns.& #39; Son and Father "Tobin& #39;& #39; big in personnel.
#Bears - Of the top eight execs, seven have the last name "McCaskey.& #39;& #39; Hey, that& #39;s "not fair!& #39;& #39;
#Chiefs. We know that head coach Andy Reid is literally down in his basement. But maybe ESPN should report that a Kansas City assistant coach named "Britt Reid" has been bringing snacks down to his dad?
#Giants. A "Mara& #39;& #39; is on top. Then come 2 "Tisch.& #39;& #39; Then comes another "Mara.& #39;& #39; He& #39;s Chris Mara, "Senior VP, Player Personnel,& #39;& #39; a high-pressure deal - except that Chris is also listed as part of the ownership group.

The Giants are run kinda like the Cowboys? Who knew!
#Lions. The top four folks are "Fords.& #39;& #39;
#Patriots. Bill Belichick is only one of three Belichicks on that staff. If Schefter is suggesting a certain NFL team might be temped to cheat ... wouldn& #39;t THIS be that team?
#Raiders. Jon Gruden is the head coach, assisted by a trusty youngster named "Deuce Gruden.& #39;& #39;
#Seahawks. Head coach Pete Carroll& #39;s offensive staff includes Brennan Carroll (Run Game Coordinator) and Mike Carroll (WR coach).
#Vikings. The top four execs are named "Wilf.& #39;& #39; Then comes Mike Zimmer, the head coach, assisted by a co-defensive coordinator who happens to be his son, and offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, assisted by a young fell who happens to be his son.
#Steelers (and then, I promise, I& #39;ll stop). Arthur J. Rooney II is the President. Arthur J. Rooney Jr. is the Vice President. "Well, that& #39;s just ownership,& #39;& #39; you might say. Nope. Dan Rooney Jr. is the Player Personnel Coordinator; the Rooneys own it all.
OK. Is that it? No. And I& #39;ll just stick with the Steelers: Kevin Colbert is the Vice President and General Manager, and somebody named "Dan Colbert& #39;& #39; - yes, yes, the GM& #39;s son - works in scouting.
See the point? The #Cowboys are THE MOST PROMINENT & #39;family-run NFL team.& #39; But they are far from alone.
#Cowboys aren& #39;t trying to con anybody. Not (yet?) a & #39;cheat.& #39; They& #39;re trying to gather info/understand rules - and then we& #39;ll see. But theyre no more justified/likely to do so than Mara Ford Rooney Reid Zimmer Browns Carroll Belichick.
