How 'bout them Cowboys!

[bunchofgrapes]

The Cowboys just pulled off the most amazing win. Not the most amazing win ever (they've stopped my heart a couple of dozen times over the last almost 40 years) but definitely a top 10. Romo had something like a hundred interceptions in the first half and still the Cowboys won with two 53 yard field goals in the final 2 seconds. Note to Dick Juron: FU. Your team still lost.

I used to work with this guy, Ron (can't remember his last name but he had chives growing out of the top of his nose), who worked part time with the Redskins. Ron used to tell me that good teams always find a way to win. Even when their QB does everything he can to give the game away. Ron also said that defenses win games and tonight that couldn't be more true. Buffalo scored 24 points. Their offense scored 3. Um, yeah.

Next week it's New England at Dallas. This one should be good.

Eh, I don't care. Someone needs to root for the Bills. I mean seriously, their offense scored 3 points, they intercepted Romo 5 times and only scored 14 points. The defense played tough but they should have blown Dallas out of the stadium. Instead, they were made of fail.

And Dallas is a love 'em or hate 'em team. I've been a fan since I was 5 years old and I watched my first game with my grandpa. I love 'em--even when they were 1-15, were coached by Barry Switzer and had Babe Laufenberg at quarterback. Those were some tough times.

I'm a 49ers fan. I know. They suck.

Yup, take Bill Walsh or Sunglasses guy out of the equation and what have you got?

They blow. But I luv 'em.

Yeah, Dallas went through the same thing until they finally found a QB. But you know, a true fan is there through the good and bad. The 49ers will hopefully come back. Look at Green Bay. They sucked for quite a few years and now they seem to be off to a good start. Of course, it's still early. Dallas could get crushed by injuries and end up 5-11 and SF could turn it around and make the playoffs.

Football really is fun. I play the pools so I have a reason to watch all the games. I do love hockey but football is only 16 games. Each one is important.

SF could turn it around and make the playoffs.

And Joe Montana could lose 20 years and be our QB again. The problem with the '9ers is the folks who own them. Eddie D has a huge laundry list of faults, but the man knew how to run a football team: hire GMs and coaches who were fiercely loyal to him and the team, and keep his hands out of its day to day operations. Now, his sister's husband owns them and they won't sell the team because they want to give it to their son as a gift. Not to mention we play in the worst venue in pro sports. Makes me wish Jerry Jones owned us.
