FRISCO -- As of 10:30 Thursday morning, when Jerry Jones was last seen in front of a microphone, the best-case scenario for Travis Frederick had yet to be rendered by the Eternal Optimist. And the fact that Jerry demurred, even under duress, should tell you something about the gravity of the situation.
What it means is you should prepare for Joe Looney as the Cowboys' starting center against Carolina and until further notice.
And what that means is the Cowboys need Earl Thomas now more than ever.
Maybe you're thinking the heat or Twitter has finally gotten to me.
