Cowboys get Sicko

Cowboys picked up the free-agent TE, Scott Sicko, yesterday after saying that he would pass on the NFL in order to pursue graduate school. Sicko was cause a bit of an internet stir over the weekend when he announced Saturday that he would not play in the NFL after not being drafted. Some critics thought of it as his ego coming into to play, while others applauded his focus on his academics.

Sicko received calls from 5 teams on Saturday including the Patriots who had a private workout with him, offering contracts for the 2010-2011 season. At that point he said that he had decided in the 7th round that since he hadn't been drafted he would pursue his studies to fulfill his dream of becoming a History teacher.

Sicko has said that if he makes the Cowboys, he will begin taking online classes in either Political Science or History to begin his graduate school studies and if he doesn't' end up with a spot on the roster that he will enroll in one of his graduate schools in the fall.

"What can I say? I changed my mind. I got very comfortable with the Cowboys over the last couple of days. And I made a compromise with myself," Sicko told reporters at the UNH campus Tuesday. After all the talk of if Myron Rollie was really committed to football over his other academic pursuits, a couple of eyebrows are being raised to this changed mind of Sicko and how long it will be before he changes his mind again.
