High expectations are nothing new for the Dallas Cowboys. Neither is bitter disappointment when those expectations go unfulfilled. But when the Cowboys opened training camp over the weekend, there was a clear sense that the level of excitement over how far the team can go this season -- as well as the potential for a terrible letdown -- has never been greater. That's what happens when you have the makings of a contender for a Super Bowl that is going to be played in your stadium, giving you the chance to become the first team to play for the Lombardi Trophy at home. A year ago, the Cowboys won the NFC East and snapped 12-year drought without a playoff victory before being crushed by Minnesota in the divisional round. Throw in the fact that they're celebrating their 50th anniversary and next month's induction of Emmitt Smith into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and it's easy to see why this is much larger than any camp opening the Cowboys have had in a long time. http://www.nfl.com/trainingcamp/sto...ys-feeling-super-as-camp-opens-in-san-antonio
