The Rag of Rags

Greetings All. Let me start by thanking all those who were directed to this site or simply stumbled upon it. All are welcome. With time, this will get a little more advanced and hopefully the rough edges will be sanded and buffed away. This is kind of an off-chute for me. I've been truly honored and extremely-privileged to represent a publication known as The Ranch Report for about 4 years running. The Ranch Report is a bi-product of the incredibly-sized Scout.com network, and it's a publication dedicated solely to the coverage of the Dallas Cowboys. The publication is both website and magazine. The website itself, http://dal.scout.com/, offers anything and everything Dallas Cowboys-related. If you haven't heard of it or seen it, I encourage you to do so.

The Ranch Report has many freebies, but it's a paid-subscription site. Membership gives you unlimited access to the website and all it's premium forums and posting boards, but it also gets you the monthly magazine as well. It is 40-50 pages of wall-to-wall Cowboys coverage. You won't find it anywhere. While it contains fantastic articles written by Editor Roy Philpott and his staff writers, the color pictures are simply breath-taking. As mentioned, there are no publications out there like this, with the exception of one. The Dallas Cowboys Star magazine.

For dedicated and die-hard Cowboys fans, the Star magazine is now what used to be called the Dallas Cowboys Official Weekly. The Weekly was a newspaper published by the Dallas Cowboys. It was the official team publication which circulated weekly during the season and monthly during the off-season. The newspaper format was dropped almost two years ago. Truth be told, it was the arrival and existence of The Ranch Report which forced the hand of the mighty Dallas Cowboys. If not for The Ranch Report, Weekly/Star readers may still be getting black ink all over their viewing hands. When you can go toe-to-toe with the 800 pound gorilla (thanks Jimmy Johnson), it's quite the achievement and proud moment.

For those who have not seen the magazine, I'm attaching/including a copy that was produced in the Spring of 2007. This should give you the flavor and feel to our publication. In this particular issue, yours truly, had the once in a lifetime opportunity to sit down for a lengthy discussion with Cowboys' great Charlie Waters. It was incredible, and the interview is included for your reading.

Enjoy and welcome!
