Cowboys bummin'

The Mavs team plane touched down Sunday afternoon in Sacramento right before kickoff of the Cowboys-Giants NFC playoff games. Most of the players, coaches and staff hurried to find a TV.

“Disappointed like everybody,” Avery Johnson said of the Cowboys’ elimination. “Had an awesome season, though, for a quarterback who started his first full season. If you look at the whole pie, I think they’ve had an outstanding year.”

Johnson was then asked if it compared to the Mavs’ first-round loss last year: “I don’t want to compare that. I don’t even want that question. I think they’ve had an outstanding year and they have a lot to be proud of.”
