That's when the Dallas coach decided he wanted to bring the Cowboys to ground zero before they played the Giants this weekend. So the Cowboys changed their schedule to New York a day early so they could have dinner at 1 World Trade Center. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones also owns the company that handles food there.
