Thursday is the Cowboys’ final practice at Valley Ranch, their practice facility since 1985. ESPN’s Ed Werder, Jean-Jacques Taylor and Todd Archer have been around the team for most of that tenure and offer up their memories from the collapse of the team’s indoor facility, the Jerry Jones-Jimmy Johnson feud and Charles Haley’s mean streak.
One Cowboys Parkway has been home to the Dallas Cowboys for 31 years. I've often referred to it as the big top of Jerry Jones' Football Circus.
It was from there that I covered the worst team in franchise history, the 1-15 debacle of 1989, and some of the most talented teams in NFL history a few seasons later.
