Dallas Cowboys' Black Friday shopping list includes 'Star Wars' movies

The complete set of "Star Wars" movies: When Tony Romo took over as Dallas Cowboys quarterback in 2006, he was a young Jedi with some of the did-he-really-just-do-that type of plays he would make. But at 35 and coming off two back surgeries and two breaks of his left collarbone, Romo is now more Obi-Wan Kenobi. He has become the quarterback master with 20 consecutive games of completing at least 60 percent of his passes. More important, he is 15-3 in his last 18 games and the Cowboys might need him to be perfect for the rest of the season to make the playoffs.

A lot of bubble wrap: Anybody with young kids knows the toy is oftentimes not the most compelling part of the gift; that the wrapping paper and box can be just as fun. Same with bubble wrap. For the Cowboys, they will need to have plenty of bubble wrap for running back Darren McFadden. He already has the third-most carries he has had in a season in his career despite not becoming the every-down back until Week 7. He has a history of injuries, managing a full season only once before this season.

A time machine: Just about every team would want this, but few owners have the means of Jerry Jones. A lot of people believe AT&T Stadium is some kind of spaceship. Maybe it can go back in time to keep Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks from landing on Romo, breaking his left collarbone, which kept him out for eight weeks. The Cowboys lost all seven games without Romo. Of course, if you could get a time machine maybe you could have a re-do on the DeMarco Murray decision or replacing him. Or how the Cowboys handled the backup quarterback spot, too.
