okay so i have been waiting patiently for preseason to end so i can get excited
about the Cowboys season. i am running out of patience so i decided to write
something..anything here just to clear my mind.
First things first..we played houston saturday night, beat them..nobody got hurt.
i didnt even watch the game because i was in galveston and i couldnt stand
listening to the houston announcers, plus there was a lighting storm going on
and the waves were getting bigger due to Hurricane Katrina so i just sat back
and enjoyed the moment with my wife.
Now...about THE TEAM. its cut time in the NFL. all the teams have started making
up their minds about who stays and who goes. So far the Boys havent really surprised
me with any of their cuts because mostly they got rid of guys i expected them to
except for a couple, Rogers and Cundiff, OT and PK. both of them were hurt so
even that was no surprise.
Here comes the fun part...looking at the other teams and seeing who they released
and deciding if they let anybody go that might help us. hey its a crapshoot for sure
but sometimes a change of scenery really does make a difference. and its a numbers
game, maybe a team is overloaded with lineman and you need one. maybe their castoff
is better than your 3rd team guy. heck maybe their castoff is bettter than your
1st team guy...i surely hope not but after a 6-10 season its possible.
i mean look closely, our entire starting backfield from last years, and the year
before that, and i think the year before that is TOTALLY out of the league.
gone..cut..not signed..by anybody !! of course that doesnt count Julius Jones but
he was not our starter on opening day (injured ).
its like taking a load of junk to the dumpyard, emptying out your trailer...then spotting like some totally perfect half sheets of plywood that you just know you
can use to make something out of..and hey those bricks in that pile over there
would make a perfect walkway if you can just knock the mortar off. surely i am not
the only person to ever come home with more junk than i left with am i ??
hmmm that might be the redneck in me peeking out... but why else would there be
all these yard sales ???
Maybe, just maybe the ole Jock Whisperer Bill Parcells can get something out of
one of these guys that their previous coach couldnt. anyway it gives me something
to watch for until 9-8 when thankfully the real season starts. i feel better already.
later Poke

When I saw the title I wasn't sure what to expect, then suddenly I thought "he's writing about his new lighthouse. Then I read your rantings and ramblings and I got to the part about yardsales. I know the lighthouse is still a new trinket to you and I'm sure you are as proud of it as you can be. It stands for something important in your life and it means something to you. Just for grins let's look into the future to a time when your lighthouse might be in a yardsale. Do ya reckon one man's trash would actually be another man's treasure? So much for my 6 degrees of seperation.
update already gee whiz.
