Got the exhiliarating "Countdown to Kickoff" on the TV as the Dallas Cowboys prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings in the very important pre-season game No. 3.



Interviewing GM and owner Jerry Jones, Mickey Spagnola and Steve Dennis didn't ask about Andre Gurode, the veteran center who's missed a lot of camp due to injury and being fat.



Spagnola and Dennis didn't ask. But they got an answer.



Jones went straight into an ominous rant that Gurode was not suited up, but was at the game, and that they would go back to Dallas and discuss things. Jones said it was a "cap" issue. Jones also extoled the play of the injured Phil Costa and Kevin "Killer" Kowalski.



Effectively, and I might be reading too much into this, but I think Gurode just got cut.



Babe Laufenberg was asked about it, and he referenced 1989 when Herschel Walker got four carries in the first half of a game. Wondering why he was used so sparingly, Laufenberg realized that maybe Walker wasn't going to be a Cowboy for long. He wasn't. He was traded to Minnesota the next day.



Gurode is 32 and making $5.5 million this year and $6.5 million next.



Costa, Kowalski and rookie Bill Nagy all make less.
