The Dallas Cowboys held their first open practice in 17 years, and 15,000 any-weather fans braved a 45-minute downpour to cheer their team and get autographs from legendary players. Read the story. Here are some snapshots from my cellphone:
Cowboys executive Stephen Jones signs autographs.
Hall of Famer Bob Lilly signs autographs in a downpour.
A fan from Mineral Wells shows his love for the team.
Defensive lineman Marcus Smith comes out of the tunnel.
Linebacker DeMarcus Ware emerges from the tunnel.

Interesting story and photos. Just curious: Why the Traffic blog?
It sounds like they've doubled up your workload now with Sports desk assignments(?) following the layoffs. I hope you get some sort of compensation if that's the case.

Hi Jamie: I just put them on the blog for the heck of it. No extra compensation, but I did get to meet Too Tall Jones. When I was a kid, that dude seemed bigger than life ...
