yeah so i am probably dating myself a bit here. when i was a kid that is what
these games were called. they werent "preseason " , they didnt count for much
and you were lucky if they put one on TV. then the owners decided they could sell
their tickets ( for the same stinking price as a regular game ) and the networks
figured out they could sell ads and lo and behold now these games are " important ".
i gripe about them, im sure the players gripe about them ( they dont get their regular paychecks for these games ) and even though the coaches dont gripe about
them in public i just bet you that they would prefer to just keep having practices instead of having to disrupt their practicing to "game plan " for an exhibition . anyway...the cowboys played the seahawks monday night in one of these "games ". our first team offense and defense looked better this week than last week. thats what you want to see. then about halfway thru the 2nd quarter both teams started putting in 2nd team players.
after that it gets a little harder to tell just who is doing great or if they are just beating up somebody who will be looking for a job this fall . if you really want
to know just how great some of our players are, and how bad some of our players are and how smart our coach is or how dumb our coach is then go to one of the many
"message boards " or "fan forums " that the Cowboys have. there you will find
so many experts and genuises that know so much about this team you will wonder
why Jerry Jones doesnt just read them, and run the team using their analysis and
save all that money he pays out for training camp,coaches, scouts, film teams
and all that other stuff.
to be honest there are great fans there, but thats all we are....fans ( short for fanatics by the way ) . you just have to keep telling yourself that those people
actually associated with the team might..just might know a little bit more than we do. anyway the Cowboys beat the Seahawks on the scoreboard 18-10. The cowboys
didnt suffer any serious injuries that i can find out about. it was fun to watch.
but it was still just an exhibition game to me. later Poke

There I sat, up on the edge of my chair, just like you, just like all the rest of the Cowboy fanatics. Oh well, it's what we do. I needed that. It takes my mind off the Astros and all the scenarios I come up with on how the wheels seem to be coming off for them.
