The Dallas Cowboys are a National Football League team that plays in the NFC East division. The Cowboys have won five Super Bowl titles over the course of their history.

Tim Cowlishaw arrived at the News more than 40 years ago, covering SMU in the fall of 1983. Since that time, he has been the national baseball writer, the Cowboys beat writer for six seasons, the Stars beat writer for three seasons and a sports columnist since 1998.
