a total HOMER

i have watched the Cowboys all my life, so long that i dont even remember exactly
when i became a fan. just to make it easy im gonna say 40 years. so its just an estimate but i have watched 500 of their games i'm sure.
people who know me know how much i like them so they are always asking me if i think
they are going to beat " whoever ". i always try to act like i have a great analytical mind and i list all the reasons why i think they will or will not win
that particular game. it makes great conversation and it beats griping about how
much gas costs or how hot it is and stuff like that.
BUT...i have a confession to make. I am only telling you folks this so you dont
all run out and make outlandish bets and lose your rent and grocery money.
I HAVE NEVER STARTED WATCHING THE COWBOYS PLAY A GAME THINKING THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO ACTUALLY LOSE !!!!
no matter what i may have said during a conversation or on a message board
down deep in my heart i always think the Cowboys are going to win. always.
thats why i am not a gambler. when i was a kid at school and some kid started
spouting off and wanting to bet their team would beat the Boys i always took
my lunch money and bet on my team..the Dallas Cowboys. you cant tell by looking
at me now but i sure did have to skip lunch a lot in those days. so i learned
early on not to bet on them. but i never learned and i dont guess i ever will
that they probably arent going to win every time they play. i mean i know it..
but i never quit hoping, wishing.
anyway since the season starts thursday (cowboys play sunday )i just wanted
to let ya'll know not to take the brilliant, insightful and extremely informative
information i put forth here and take it to Vegas and try to make a killing.
if you do its your own fault now . having said all that and in spite of the lessons
i learned at an early age i now predict the COWBOYS RECORD WILL BE 9-7.
(i also just learned how to edit these posts so if you are gonna make me eat those
words you better figure out a way to save this page somewhere )
anyway im ready...bring on the chargers...later Poke

Listen to me Lil' Bro', if the Astros can come back and beat Billy Wagner two nights in a row then the 'Boys can go undefeated. You gotta believe! And for those that think Bledsoe might be too old, look at the highlights from last nights Astros' game. You think that was a kid from New Orleans or Round Rock that hit that 3-run homer. It was Craig Biggio that did that and it was Jose Vizcaino (did ya notice he ran it out) that helped start the two out rally. Sometimes youth is so over rated.

yep its a shame youth is wasted on the young. that was such a sweet swing !
and yeah the Astros were 15 games under .500 at one time so you are
right again "ya gotta believe ! "

after the redskins game...and may
be edited if the Cowboys lose another game. hey its a digital world and little things like numbers are easy to change.

this post has been edited too many times to count due to the Boys losing so may games they should have won. let this be a lesson to all that you shouldnt believe what you read online.
