How About Them Cowboys? (Denial Edition)

So you may have noticed I haven’t blogged about the Cowboys (or for that matter McLaren) in awhile.  Why?  I’m a sore fucking loser that’s why.  I could blog about Butler, but I get a little to wrapped up to do that rationally.  So it’s probably gonna be politics until the F1 season comes around.

Thank You Roger Goodell

What for? Suspending Roy Williams one game for horse tackling McNabb yesterday.

Thank you?

Yes, Roy is horrid in coverage, if you see somebody getting burned over the top, it’s going to be Roy. He is without question a spectacular hitter and would make a pretty fierce weakside linebacker (as long as he didn’t have to drop into coverage often) but he’s an average at best DB.

As for Romo stinking up the joint in front of Jessica Simpson, yesterday was a team effort in suck and pretty much a continuation of the Lions game really. For most of the season the Cowboys have had a “only the fourth quarter matters” attitude and while you can pull that off against a Lions team in free fall; the Eagles still have enough talent to put together a game here and there. And if they’re going to put it together, you’d better bet it will be against the Cowboys.

Still for Cowboys’ fans there isn’t much to complain about, Wade has brought a sense of peace and with that focus to the team. Jason Garret has proven to be at least so far an offensive genius in waiting and high on the list of potential head coaches next year. Hopefully the Eagle game will renew the focus of the offense and get them moving in the right direction again.

Happy Birthday Texy

The Summer of Lists

Well I was working o a post about how great the Cubs are were playing in June but that doesn’t seem like a good idea in the midst of the current mauling they’re taking from the Brewers. So instead I’m going to do like every other media outlet and do a list. Or rather write about a list. They’re all the rage these days “AFI Top 100 Films” “Sports Center’s Top 50…” (I could care less what SC thinks the top 50 anything is, so I don’t actually know what their list is about) and USA Today’s Top 25 NFL players of the last 25 years.

 

But the list that got my attention was one compiled by the Dallas Morning News‘ Tim MacMahon; the Top 25 Cowboys of the last 25 years. Cowboys fans (myself included) are a rabid (and from the looks of the comments poor readers) lot who like to argue about… well everything. I spent my whole life in Indiana and have heard less arguments about the Colts the whole time, then I have about T.O. in the last year; its the nature of the beast.

 

So Mr. MacMahon created his list, and with it a lot of controversy. Leaving Danny White off was a mistake. Period. 3 NFC championship games and a Pro Bowl but him ahead of every QB but Aikman. How you leave a guy off who still holds club records is boggling. Luckily he came to his senses and replaced Russel Maryland with Danny. What Maryland was doing on there is a whole other question.
