Cowboys' team website disappears..
As the team was melting down Sunday, so was the Dallas Cowboys' website.

The club apparently forgot to renew its registration on the dallascowboys.com domain and the site was pulled Sunday night, replaced with a generic page indicating the address was available for purchase from Network Solutions LLC.

The team quickly renewed its registration, but it takes up to 48 hours for all Internet servers to recognize renewals.

As a result, many fans visiting the site Monday eager for news about the Cowboys' flop in Green Bay and the status of head coach Wade Phillips were greeted with a stock image of two kids playing soccer.

Man, these guys are having a rough time.

2. These problems are self inflicted too..
There's no excuse for failing to renew their domain name, anymore than there is for giving Wade Phillips a new contract during this past off season.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch..

I did check out their site a few minutes ago, and it's back to normal.
