Background Information About The Caitlin Crawford Dallas Cowboys

By Jaclyn Hurley


The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team that is a member of the National Football League (NFL). The team plays in the National Football Conference as part of the Eastern Division. Their headquarters are located in Valley Ranch, Texas. The team sometimes allows outsiders to join them as interns. One of the internships they had was Caitlin Crawford Dallas Cowboys.

The team plays most of its home games at the AT&T Stadium which is located in Arlington, Texas. They joined the NFL in 1960 as an expansion team and developed a national following which led to many home games selling out. The team sold-out one hundred and sixty home games from 1990 onwards. The team currently holds the record for eight Super Bowl appearances, which is more than any other team except for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are the only team in the NFL to have twenty straight winning seasons, from 1966 to 1985. During this time, they only missed the playoffs twice.

The NFL is composed of different divisions. The Cowboys compete in the Eastern Division, along with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants. This division has largely remained the same from the original six teams that were formed when the NFL and the AFL merged. This has given rise to some very long rivalries among the teams.

The team uniform is very distinctive. The navy road jerseys, also called the Stars and Stripes Jersey, have navy pinstripes with white lettering. Each sleeve has a white and grey stripe and a V-neck collar. The popular star logo is shown on the stripes. The pants used in away games are metallic-silver, similar to the home pants, to bring out the navy color in the uniforms. The team cheerleaders also have their own distinctive uniform which includes an off-the-shoulder design.

Caitlin Crawford completed a summer internship with this popular NFL team. She is originally from Texas and wanted a career in broadcasting. She was studying broadcasting at the University of Oklahoma but wanted to gain real-life experience. When looking for summer internships, she decided to try for a position with the media group that works with the team. She sent in her resume and received an interview with them. She later learned that she had been accepted by the department as an intern.

The team has it own flagship radio station, called KRLD-FMA, which started in 2010. Brad Sham and Babe Laufenberg, who is a former quarterback for the team, worked as announcers for the station and gave play-by-play voice details of each game. In an effort to expand its broadcasting scope across the nation, the team entered into a partnership with Compass Media Networks in 2011 to create Team Radio Network.

Her internship allowed her to gain experience with operating the equipment, since she helped the camera people to shot some of the events. She helped the media team behind the scenes at games taking place at the stadium, and even assisted with various designing and marketing projects for her department.

Bill Mercer was another well known commentator on the radio station. When Mercer left the station, Verne Lundquist joined and became their announcer until 1977. Brad Sham then took over as the voice of the station once Lundquist left.
