Pick the Super Bowl with our writers and columnists

The Cowboys went 0-3 against the conference champions. Tom Brady and Eli Manning both mounted fourth-quarter comebacks against Rob Ryan's defense. And, of course, the Giants defeated Dallas, 31-14, on New Year's Day to clinch the NFC East title.

What do you expect the final score to be in Super Bowl XLVI? Post your picks in the comments below or vote for your choice here.

Stanback finally catching onto receiver position

Isaiah Stanback still wears a quarterback number – 18 – but he finally feels like a receiver. The Cowboys drafted the University of Washington quarterback with hopes of turning him into a receiver.
But he caught only two passes and returned only 13 kicks in two seasons.

DeMarcus Ware only Cowboys player on Sporting News All-Pro team, Phillips top coordinator

Linebacker DeMarcus Ware was named to the 2011 Sporting News All-Pro team. He is the lone Cowboys player to be so honored as the best in the league at their position, based on  a vote of 30 NFL executives.
Former Cowboys Wade Phillips, now the defensive coodinator for the Houston Texans, was also honored by the Sporting News. He was named the league's top coordinator.

Mat McBriar to have surgery next week

Cowboys punter Mat McBriar is in Indianapolis, where he will moonlight as a reporter for ESPN Australia.
Two days after the Super Bowl, McBriar will undergo surgery on his injured left foot, which has nerve damage. McBriar said he spent two days at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., last week, where his injury finally was correctly diagnosed.
 “It’s frustrating,” McBriar said. “We could be four months further along.”

So when do the Cowboys return to the Super Bowl?

The Patriots arrived in Indianapolis on Sunday. The Giants land this afternoon. The Cowboys, once again, are nowhere to be found during Super Bowl week.
As every good Cowboys fan knows, it's been a long time -- too long -- since the Cowboys were here. It was the 1995 season when they won their fifth Super Bowl. They have two playoff victories since, having made it only as far as the divisional round.

Recently retired Jon Kitna leaves the game a fan of Cowboys' Tony Romo

Veteran backup quarterback Jon Kitna always felt that this past season would be his last.
However, it ended a little faster than he planned when he suffered a back injury in practice in November.
He didn’t go on injured reserve until Dec. 15 as the Cowboys held out hope that he would improve before other injuries forced them to clear a roster spot.

Charles Haley, Bill Parcells aren't in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2012

For Charles Haley, it was a first. He didn’t make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he made the cut to 10.
Both Haley and Bill Parcells were eliminated in the cut from 10 to five. Thus, for only the second time in seven years, the Cowboys will not have a player or a coach with ties to the team inducted.
Dermontti Dawson, Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Curtis Martin and Willie Roaf were the five modern-era candidates who made the cut to five.
Haley has been eligible for the Hall of Fame for seven years, with this his third as a finalist.

Cowboys deny Raiders chance to interview DeCamillis

According to sources, the Cowboys have denied the Oakland Raiders permission to speak with special teams coach Joe DeCamillis about a position on their staff.
DeCamillis is still under contract with the Cowboys and now appears will be back in Dallas for a fourth season. 
Raiders coach Dennis Allen had hoped to interview and possibly added DeCamillis to his staff with the title of assistant head coach. Allen and DeCamillis are close friends and had been on the same staff together in Atlanta.

Pro Bowler Brian Waters talked to the Cowboys, but Pats got him to his first Super Bowl

The Cowboys could have used Brian Waters. They started three players at left guard, and Kyle Kosier struggled through a foot injury at right guard.
Waters had some "minor conversations" with the Cowboys after he and the Chiefs parted ways in the off-season. Waters spent the 1999 training camp with the Cowboys after signing as a rookie free agent, but he didn't make it to the regular season.
