Cowboys' decisions on offense: Keeping Randall Cobb makes sense
the Cowboys have to determine the shape of the roster and could have 30 players hit the market -- some as restricted or unrestricted free agents, some under the franchise and/or transition tags, and some who could have their 2020 options declined.
Cowboys' Jason Witten wants to play in '20, open to other teams
Witten caught 63 passes for 529 yards and four touchdowns this past season in his return from a one-year hiatus as an analyst on ESPN's Monday Night Football. He has played 16 seasons for the Cowboys, a franchise record.

Cowboys' decisions on defense, special teams: Tricky keeping Byron Jones
The defense will look a lot different in 2020 than it did in 2019 with new coordinator Mike Nolan expected to implement a more varied scheme while keeping a 4-3 base.

Cowboys hoping to reach deal with Dak Prescott, avoid franchise tag
Time might be running out, but Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones remains confident a long-term deal can be worked out with quarterback Dak Prescott before the organization will need to use the franchise tag.Jones said there a re no talks scheduled with Prescott's agent, Todd France, but the team intends to meet with him here at some point this week during the NFL scouting combine. Jones said there is no scenario in which the Cowboys would move on from Prescott in 2020. Prescott is not the only high-profile free agent the Cowboys want to re-sign. Wide receiver Amari Cooper, cornerback Byron Jones and defensive end Robert Quinn are also set to be free agents. Without a CBA extension, the Cowboys could theoretically use the franchise tag on Prescott and transition tag on Cooper. If there's a new CBA, then they would only be able to use one tag, thus making it more likely Cooper, Jones or Quinn could hit the market.

Cowboys hoping to reach deal with Dak Prescott, avoid franchise tag
Jones acknowledged the sides have not spoken since September, when the Cowboys thought they were closing in on an agreement that would have made Prescott among the top-five paid quarterbacks in the NFL.
Mike McCarthy: Dak Prescott is QB to get Cowboys a title
"Defenses get you to the championship. The quarterbacks win championships. And I definitely think Dak is that quarterback." Without a contract, the Cowboys will have to use the tag on him by March 12 in order to secure his rights at least through 2020, although they would have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal.

Cowboys in tricky spot with big names in limbo amid CBA uncertainty
With an extension of the CBA, teams will be allowed to use the franchise or transition tag in 2020. Without an extension, teams will be allowed to use the franchise and transition tags because it will be the final year of the old CBA.

Jerry Jones did not dismiss the possibility of Dez Bryant returning but the torn Achilles is a bigger factor than any issues the receiver had after he was cut. “The very best of Dez is what I remember,” he said. “I remember a lot of good things (that) far overshadow the negatives for me as a player. Now the question is can he perform and can he be overcome that injury and can he get in the kind of shape that it takes to be available?” Bryant Is 31 and has not played since Dec. 31, 2017.
It sounds like Jimmy Johnson will be in the Ring of Honor soon, just not 2020. “We have such a big year ahead of us with Jimmy, and his (Hall of Fame) celebration, I want that to be the focus, period,” Jerry Jones said. “Everybody says ‘Is that the right order of things?' Well, Coach Landry was in the Hall of Fame before the Ring of Honor. Here we've got the two greatest coaches in history of the Cowboys, so they can go in the same order.”
Jerry Jones believes Jason Witten can still play and help the Cowboys but a potential hold up could be the tight end's role. He doesn't want to see Witten in another uniform. "I would hope that he would not ever be anything but a Cowboy," Jones said. "It's meaningful. He's at the top right there."
Jerry Jones acknowledges the new CBA would not be best for the Cowboys because of losing the ability to tag Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper but said the agreement is too good to pass up because of the long-term implications. "It's critical we recognize where we are with timing," Jones said in reference to future issues pertaining to ratings, economy and other factors. He mentioned the challenge he faced 31 years ago when he bought the team but how it worked out for the long term.

Jerry Jones won't rule out WR Dez Bryant returning to Cowboys
"I've been thinking about it a lot in the shower," Bryant, 31, most recently played in a game on Dec. 31, 2017, for the Cowboys. He was released in part because of an $18 million base salary and declining production. After signing a five-year, $70 million deal in 2015,.

No Ring of Honor For Jimmy Johnson In 2020
Johnson was announced as part of this year's Hall of Fame class back in January. He'll be inducted this summer. Jones made him the second coach in Cowboys history in 1989, and he helped lead the franchise to two Super Bowl championships, winning 52 games in five years.
Of course, Johnson departed abruptly in 1994, bringing an end to a contentious relationship and setting the stage for Jones to hire Barry Switzer. The nature of that relationship has prompted speculation about why Johnson is still not in the Ring of Honor, even though he'll soon be enshrined in Canton.

Use of nigger in proper names
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The racial slur nigger has historically been used in names of products, colors, plants, as place names, and as people's nicknames, amongst others.
Contents
Poster for "Nigger Hair" tobacco, later known as "Bigger Hair"
In the US, the word nigger featured in branding and packaging consumer products, e.g., "Nigger Hair Tobacco" and "Niggerhead Oysters". As the term became less acceptable in mainstream culture, the tobacco brand became "Bigger Hair" and the canned goods brand became "Negro Head".[1][2] An Australian company produced various sorts of licorice candy under the "Nigger Boy" label. These included candy cigarettes and one box with an image of an Indian snake charmer.[3][4][5] Compare these with the various national varieties and names for chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, and with Darlie, formerly Darkie, toothpaste.
Plant and animal names
Orsotriaena medus, once known as the nigger butterfly
Some colloquial or local names for plants and animals used to include the word "nigger" or "niggerhead".
The colloquial names for echinacea (coneflower) are "Kansas niggerhead" and "Wild niggerhead". The cotton-top cactus (Echinocactus polycephalus) is a round, cabbage-sized plant covered with large, crooked thorns, and used to be known in Arizona as the "niggerhead cactus". In the early 20th century, double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) were known in some areas of Florida as "nigger geese".[6] In some parts of the U.S., Brazil nuts were known as "nigger toes".[7]
The "niggerhead termite" (Nasutitermes graveolus) is a native of Australia.[8]
Colors
A shade of dark brown used to be known as "nigger brown" or simply "nigger";[9] other colors were also prefixed with the word. Usage as a color word continued for some time after it was no longer acceptable about people.[10] Nigger brown commonly identified a colour in the clothing industry and advertising of the early 20th century.[11]
Nicknames of people
Nig Perrine
During the Spanish–American War US Army General John J. Pershing's original nickname, Nigger Jack, given to him as an instructor at West Point because of his service with "Buffalo Soldier" units, was euphemized to Black Jack by reporters.[12][13]
In the first half of the twentieth century, before Major League Baseball was racially integrated, dark-skinned and dark-complexioned players were nicknamed Nig;[14][15] examples are: Johnny Beazley (1941–49), Joe Berry (1921–22), Bobby Bragan (1940–48), Nig Clarke (1905–20), Nig Cuppy (1892–1901), Nig Fuller (1902), Johnny Grabowski (1923–31), Nig Lipscomb (1937), Charlie Niebergall (1921–24), Nig Perrine (1907), and Frank Smith (1904–15). The 1930s movie The Bowery with George Raft and Wallace Beery includes a sports-bar in New York City named "Nigger Joe's".
In 1960, a stand at the stadium in Toowoomba, Australia, was named the "E. S. 'Nigger' Brown Stand" honoring 1920s rugby league player Edwin Brown, so ironically nicknamed since early life because of his pale white skin; his tombstone is engraved Nigger. Stephen Hagan, a lecturer at the Kumbari/Ngurpai Lag Higher Education Center of the University of Southern Queensland, sued the Toowoomba council over the use of nigger in the stand's name; the district and state courts dismissed his lawsuit. He appealed to the High Court of Australia, who ruled the naming matter beyond federal jurisdiction. At first some local Aborigines did not share Mr Hagan's opposition to nigger.[16] Hagan appealed to the United Nations, winning a committee recommendation to the Australian federal government, that it force the Queensland state government to remove the word nigger from the "E. S. 'Nigger' Brown Stand" name. The Australian federal government followed the High Court's jurisdiction ruling. In September 2008, the stand was demolished. The Queensland Sports Minister, Judy Spence, said that using nigger would be unacceptable, for the stand or on any commemorative plaque. The 2005 book The N Word: One Man's Stand by Hagan includes this episode.[16][17]
Place names
Many places in the United States, and some in Canada, were given names that included the word "nigger", usually named after a person, or for a perceived resemblance of a geographic feature to a human being (see Niggerhead). Most of these place names have long been changed. In 1967, the United States Board on Geographic Names changed the word nigger to Negro in 143 place names.[citation needed]
In West Texas, "Dead Nigger Creek" was renamed "Dead Negro Draw";[18] both names probably commemorate the Buffalo Soldier tragedy of 1877.[19] Curtis Island in Maine used to be known as either Negro[20] or Nigger Island.[21] The island was renamed in 1934 after Cyrus H. K. Curtis, publisher of the Saturday Evening Post, who lived locally.[22] It had a baseball team who wore uniforms emblazoned with "Nigger Island" (or in one case, "Nigger Ilsand").[23] Negro Head Road, or Nigger Head Road, referred to many places in the Old South where black body parts were displayed in warning (see Lynching in the United States).
Some renamings honor a real person. As early as 1936, "Nigger Hollow" in Pennsylvania, named after Daniel Hughes, a free black man who saved others on the Underground Railroad,[24] was renamed Freedom Road.[25] "Nigger Nate Grade Road", near Temecula, California, named for Nate Harrison, an ex-slave and settler, was renamed "Nathan Harrison Grade Road" in 1955, at the request of the NAACP.[26]
Sometimes other substitutes for "nigger" were used. "Nigger Head Mountain", at Burnet, Texas, was named because the forest atop it resembled a black man's hair. In 1966, the First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson, denounced the racist name, asking the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and the U.S. Forest Service to rename it, becoming "Colored Mountain" in 1968.[citation needed] Other renamings were more creative. "Nigger Head Rock", protruding from a cliff above Highway 421, north of Pennington Gap, Virginia, was renamed "Great Stone Face" in the 1970s.[citation needed]
Some names have been metaphorically or literally wiped off the map. In the 1990s, the public authorities stripped the names of "Niggertown Marsh" and the neighbouring Niggertown Knoll in Florida from public record and maps, which was the site of an early settlement of freed black people.[27] A watercourse in the Sacramento Valley was known as Big Nigger Sam's Slough.[28]
Sign replaced in September 2016
Sometimes a name changes more than once: a peak above Santa Monica, California was first renamed "Negrohead Mountain", and in February 2010 was renamed again to Ballard Mountain, in honor of John Ballard, a black pioneer who settled the area in the nineteenth century. A point on the Lower Mississippi River, in West Baton Rouge Parish, that was named "Free Nigger Point" until the late twentieth century, first was renamed "Free Negro Point", but currently is named "Wilkinson Point".[29] "Nigger Bill Canyon" in southeast Utah was named after William Grandstaff, a mixed-race cowboy who lived there in the late 1870s.[30] In the 1960s, it was renamed Negro Bill Canyon. Within the past few years, there has been a campaign to rename it again, as Grandstaff Canyon, but this is opposed by the local NAACP chapter, whose president said "Negro is an acceptable word".[31] However the trailhead for the hiking trail up the canyon was renamed in September 2016 to "Grandstaff Trailhead"[32] The new sign for the trailhead was stolen within five days of installation.[33]
A few places in Canada also used the word. At Penticton, British Columbia, "Niggertoe Mountain" was renamed Mount Nkwala. The place-name derived from a 1908 Christmas story about three black men who died in a blizzard; the next day, the bodies of two were found at the foot of the mountain.[34] John Ware, an influential cowboy in early Alberta, has several features named after him, including "Nigger John Ridge", which is now John Ware Ridge.[35]
