Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Phillips dismisses Cowboys altercation
I think the Cowboys, especially the DallasCowboys.com writers played up the Romo "injury" quite a bit. They will do anything to make excuses for that team and to keep their boss JJ happy.

They are similar to the ridiculous Cowboys fans who think anyone who says anything unfavorable about the team is a "hater." If you say that the Dallas offense stunk up the stadium against the 'Skins, then you are a hater and not a true fan.

What absolute morons. I've been a Cowboys fan since the inception of the franchise but I'm certainly not blind to their faults. This year, the Cowboys are a good team but not a great one. They are merely a good team because they are poorly coached. Wade "Cupcake" Phillips is no more a head coach than I am the King of England. He's never been successful as a head coach anywhere he's been...success the way Dallas and their fans define it, which means contending for the Superbowl, not calling bye weeks playoff wins.

I'm also counting down the days until, hopefully, he is fired as he should have been after that playoff fiasco against the Giants in 2007 followed by his mealy-mouth excuses.
Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Capers: Cowboys offense 'one-dimensional'
Dallas' coaching staff may b e the worst in football...period.

Jason Garrett has always been pass happy. It doesn't take a defensive coord like Dom Capers to figure that out. All he has to do is read the fan mail at the DC.com site and listen to those of us (and there are many) who blast Garrett for always abandoning the run. Garrett is simply in over his head as a coordinator and since he was hired by Jerry, he will have to be fired by Jerry before he leaves. He IS NOT head coaching material, either elsewhere or in Dallas.

Then, as if Garrett is not enough, we have Cupcake. Wade Phillips has to be the lamest, most clueless individual to ever stand on an NFL wearing headphones. I don't think the headphones are even live because I've never seen him talking into the mike. Mainly, Phillips just stands there looking confused unless the Cowboys score...then he does his little lariat whirl jig along with his patented fist pump. What a moron.

As much as I love the Cowboys, I do not want them to make the playoffs and give any reason to bring Cupcake back as head coach. I simply cannot stand another season of his cluelessness.

Posted Thursday November 05, 2009, About: T.O. picks Cowboys over Eagles
I'm no TO lover but some of you are being ridiculous with your comments. TO was asked his opinion about the game and he gave it. Everyone posting here is giving their opinion without being asked...so who is the moron here?

Besides, TO has some good, and more recent, friends in Dallas. It's not surprising that he has to "go with them" even though he stated the game could go either way.
Posted Thursday November 05, 2009, About: Cowboys' Williams blaming Romo?
I think Roy's just frustrated with his lack of production. The comments he made were not TOish, the media just wanted to portray them that way. Dallas has won 3 in a row and have been sorta flying under the radar. Someone wanted to resurrect the circus atmosphere and where Dallas is concerned, it doesn't take much to accomplish it.

I still believe Roy will contribute significantly this season. If a receiver can have a pro-bowl type season in Detroit, they can certainly repeat that play with Dallas. Besides, he is not going anywhere soon with his contract and the egg that Jones already has on his face for signing him. He might as well be given every opportunity to succeed.

I wish the Bears could lure Wade to Chicago...Wade Phillips, that is.
Posted Sunday November 01, 2009, About: Notre Dame ducking Miami series?
I really doubt that ND is dodging anyone but I don't think it matters, either. Every season, ND becomes more and more irrelevant to college football. Unless they join a conference soon (Big East?) that irrelevance will continue to the point where they won't be able to command big TV revenues and even the have-nots will be reluctant to play them.

ND has a storied football past but the reality of the present and future is pretty grim as things stand now.

I think teams that recycle failed head coaches get exactly what they deserve. BTW, I'm a Dallas fan and we have one of those, too.
Posted Wednesday October 28, 2009, About: Pryor's speech moves Buckeyes
I believe Pryor may be in the same mold as Vince Young and JaMarcus Russell...athletically talented individuals who, unfortunately, are dumber than a box o' rocks. In the case of Young and Russell, they at least were able to excell at the college level, intelligence notwithstanding. It appears Pryor can't even make that transition. I can't wait to hear his wonderlic score in a year or two.
Posted Tuesday October 27, 2009, About: Why Raiders benched Russell
JaMarcus Russell is almost pitiful. He gets a rock for each ear, gets his $30 mil and he's set for life, no matter that he has done nothing to deserve even being in the NFL, much less quarterbacking a team and cashing a bloated salary.

Give him five years and he will be jobless, broke and sleeping under a bridge...or in jail for selling dope in an attempt to maintain the lifestyle Skeletor made possible by giving him that ridiculous contract.
Posted Sunday October 25, 2009, About: Source: Benson never wanted to be a Bear
Orton is a bus driver and the Broncos 6-0 record is all smoke and mirrors. They will likely finish 10-6 or maybe 11-5 considering they play in the AFC Worst...er, AFC West division.

Kyle Orton would be a very, very good back-up quarterback because of his game management qualities. However, he is not the type who can carry a team on his shoulders when necessary.

Posted Monday October 05, 2009, About: Weis: Notre Dame deserves higher ranking
The fact is that ND has become irrelevant as far as college football goes and Jabba is more of a curiosity than a respected head coach. Other than a few deluded fans, Lou Holtz is the only person who gives ND or Weiss any credibility.

I'm sure Jabba was hoping that by whining about ND's ranking, they would not drop as far after USC clobbers them. Maybe that's what he meant by "out-scheming" the competition.
Posted Sunday October 04, 2009, About: Giant Jacobs: I'll retire if I don't improve
If BJ would concentrate more on running the ball and less on running his mouth, he might get his yards-per-carry average up. However, I'm more than happy to see him struggling.

I gotta go, too. Enjoyed the banter with everyone and now I'll go back to reading and laughing for a while. Sure is fun to read y'alls barbs.

How right you are.

A hearing aid won't help. Flo is deaf in his right ear...the one nearest the QB.

I think there's a clause somewhere in the Americans With Disabilities Act that excuses Flo for his false starts.
Posted Saturday October 03, 2009, About: NFL threatens to suspend Cowboy
That is a fact. Once the league homes in on a player...right or wrong...the benefit of the doubt is gone and those marginal "fouls" get flagged, evaluated and the player possibly suspended.

I still maintain that Flo is not, nor has ever been a dirty player...at least not in the mold of a Rodney Harrison, Conrad Dobler or even that defensive MVP currently in Pittsburg. He should have been thrown out of the Superbowl for his play.

Oh yeah, that player that Albert Haynesworth stomped on was the Cowboys' center, Andre Gurode.

FYI, Leonard Davis was always a guard, Arizona had him playing LT but that's not his natural position. That's why he made the pro bowl in 2007...Dallas put him back in his natural position at RT. However, if Flo were to get suspended, Davis would probably be moved to LT while he was out.

I do agree that Dallas has not drafted nor developed any O-linemen the past 10 years. Pat Free, Doug McQuistan and Cory "revolving door" Proctor are pretty poor.

Those of you calling for Flozell to be suspended should watch the games instead of just reading the news here or watching on Sportscenter. Those type penalties could be called every week on a different player. That so-called "leg whip" against the Giants was borderline at best and probably shouldn't have been penalized much less draw a fine.

As for Flozell being "washed up", again, you should watch the game and watch Flozell instead of the ball like casual uninformed fans do.

Against Tampa, Gaines Adams had zero tackles.
Against the Giants, Osi Umenyiora had 1 tackle.
Against Carolina, Julius Peppers got 2 tackles but never even sniffed a sack.

Those are pro-bowl type stats and Flo has done it over and over. Last season was sub-par for him because he had nagging injuries nearly the entire time. Even now, he's banged up with a shoulder injury so let's see how he does against Denver.

Fifty, if you had followed Flozell's career (in games other than against the Jints) you would know that he has always had problems against speed rushers in the mold of Demarcus Ware. Thankfully for the Cowboys, there are few if any speed rushers comparable to Ware.

I think Flo is one of the top five tackles in the league, even with all his false starts. Even Dr. Z wrote that once Flo gets his hands on the defender, it's all over. I think Z has seen one or two good tackles.

I know sports reporters aren't true journalists but "seperated" is spelled wrong in the title. It's sepArated.
