The bad weather forced the Cowboys to move their practice session indoors at the new stadium.  Ranger third baseman Michael Young paid a visit and no it wasn't to give receiver Roy Wiliams tips on how to catch balls that get lost in the lights.  Young was checking out his favorite team along with his father, as well as good friend, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells.

“We’re all huge fans coming out to check ‘em out," said Young, while marveling at the team's new digs. "Not too bad on a bad day to come inside a place like this and get your practice in."

Young, a Los Angeles native,  says he used to be "an NFL free agent" because L.A. doesn't have a team.  So, when he got here, he decided to put his allegiance behind the big blue star.  “I love the Cowboys," he says. “My tenth year playing here in Texas now and [after you've  been] here for awhile, you become a part of the cult, too."

Young says he's a little concerned with the injury situation but believes the Cowboys at 6-and-3 are just fine.
