GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys and their coaches were back together for one night.
The team held their seventh annual Taste of the NFL: The Ultimate Cowboys Tailgate Party on Sunday night, and several coaches and players attended the event.
Contact between NFL coaches and players is prohibited because of the lockout, but the league made an exception for long-standing charity events.
The event has provided funds for 3 million meals for needy children in North Texas through the North Texas Food Bank. Chefs from some of the top restaurants in the area had 19 eating stations, as well as a silent and live auction.
Linebacker DeMarcus Ware hosted the event at the Glass Cactus at the Gaylord Texan Resort, and never thought of locking himself out of it.
