round and round and round we go....

and where we stop nobody knows. least of all the talking heads on sports talk
radio, espn, sirius, local newspapers, message boards. be real. WE DONT KNOW !!
does anybody really think they have an answer for WHO IS JERRY GONNA HIRE TO BE THE NEXT HEAD COACH OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS ????????
okay jason garret is hired in some capacity, im all for that. but lets get real,
it could be wade phillips, norv turner, gary gibbs OR ANYBODY ELSE HE WANTS.
maybe he hires Dan Reeves...i could live with that, lotta history with Reeves.
but to be honest im so HAPPY that the TUNA is gone...all i can say is i dont care who the next coach is...just please let it be somebody who embraces the Cowboys
rich history not the New York Football Giants history.
please let it be someone who, when they talk, i am not reminded of that movie,
The Lords Of Flatbush. Let it be someone who does more than stare at a player when he screws up...and never utters the words..you are what you are. thats not the way a
coach talks ! a coach is guy who is convinced he can make you better than what "you are', thats his job.
and i know jerry jones would have to be hard to work for as a coach. thats why
when we were struggling finding a coach who would even come to dallas i thought
jerry should hire a great offensive coordinator and a great defensive coordinator
and just appoint HIMSELF...HEAD COACH. try it, find out if he can or cant do it.
get it out of his system. then move on.
so lets all sit back and just wait...i know thats a hard thing to do nowdays, but lets try. see who he hires, give the new guy a chance to prove himself and then
if it doesnt work...run him out of town and talk bad about him. its the american way!

REPOST AUGUST 2005...+ GOODBYE

well it finally happened....ol Bill finally gave up. admitted he didnt have it in him
to do the year long grind. hung up his whistle.
so let me say..thanks for your effort. i hope you enjoy the house by the racetrack in jersey. you had a great career and you DID improve the Cowboys. not as much as i had hoped but you did. you also proved a real head coach could work with jerry jones.
that will help in the next search. now having said all the nice things let me
REPOST my blog from august 2005 ( i think ).


--->originally titled " out of the closet"

hah !!!! got you with that title i bet. different closet though. i just cant stand it any longer, i have a secret to tell. i want to get it off my chest before the season starts because it really has nothing to do with wins and losses. okay...here it goes. I DONT LIKE BILL PARCELLS. Ahhhhhh i feel so much better now. sure he's the coach of my favorite football team. sure i even think he is the best coach for us right now. after years of incompetence and yes men jerry jones had to get a real coach. bill parcells is definitely a real coach. until jones proved he could butt out and let a coach be the coach we were not ever going to get anybody here worth a dern. parcells is a good coach, a winning coach, a smart coach....but it still doesnt make me like him. Im not sure why. it probably comes from the fact that for years he was the coach of the NY Giants and we played them twice a year and sometimes they beat us. or it could be that its because he is a yankee..you know..the whole speech, mannerism attitude thing. just rubs me the wrong way. for too many years we had coaches who at least acted like they wanted to keep the fans happy, the media informed and project a whole "one big happy family " theme. he doesnt do that. or at least not very well. do i wish him ill will ?? of course not, i am pulling for him all the way, i hope he gets us to another super bowl win....soon really soon. and then i hope he takes his grumpy, sarcastic, joisey sounding , condescending , smart aleck butt back up there. its just a personal thing , if you dont agree i understand completely..later Poke

no clever title..sorry

well i waited all week to wake up. find out it really was a nightmare.
romo didnt really drop the snap on the field goal. but here it is saturday,
got the old cowboys sweatshirt on, turn on the TV and realize...yep it happened,
it wuz real, the Boys In Blue did lose to seattle. season over, outta the playoffs
ugggghhhhh. i wasnt ready for the year to be over. i wanted more Cowboys football.
too bad for me. Im not ready to worry about whether ol Bill will coach next year,
or if TO will be back, or who is gonna be the new Defensive Coordinator. way too
many things to worry about, who to draft, which free agents to sign, which of our own players to let go of. so im just not gonna do it yet. not my job anyway.
i am going to watch indy and baltimore battle it out, then watch the saints
beat them sorry eagles outta the playoffs. just sit back and enjoy watching LT
run wild against the Pats and then watch like everybody else and see if the bears QB
has another horrible game or the seahawks are maybe better than we gave them credit for. i am going to just enjoy watching the games for what they are. i will worry
about our Boys later, maybe next week, maybe not. heck if Big Bill doesnt have to
decide until February no sense me worrying about till then.
and truth be told i am still so DISGUSTED i hate to say anything lest i say something
i regret saying later...cuz win or lose they are still MY DALLAS COWBOYS.
so watch the playoffs, enjoy ( and keep an eye out for available free agents).

how bout that romo ??

how bout that romo...
thru a great team effort we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
listening to the ticket 1310....pig vomit..pour the anointing oil down the drain...
greatest choke job in team history..the cowboys dont own a linebacker..those guys are almost as mad as i am !!
oh well its too much to listen to. but it was funny and i so needed something to cheer me up. later Poke

im gonna say it

i havent been drinking, no drugs, nor have i been hit really hard in the head...lately.
i really feel like the Good Guys are gonna come out and play a real game in seattle.
i think julius jones has a big game this week. parcells wanted him rested for something..this has to be what it was. if the Boyz can get a ground game going then LOOK OUT for the play action stuff to start clicking.
on the Defensive side...those guys have to still be mad about last weeks drumming.
im looking for some slobber knocking hits from the Cowboys. surely they have heard the jokes about changing the name of the Dallas Cowboys to the Allas Cowboys ( cuz we all know there isnt any D in these guys...i know i have heard it enough this week
that i wanted to hit somebody ).
so no matter what the weather, no matter if all of the seahawks starting cornerbacks
are hurt...i am expecting the Dallas Cowboys to show up and play like the Dallas Cowboys. ol Bill ain't my favorite coach but he has been in a few playoff games, he knows what the team needs to do and i feel certain he has been telling them all week
whats at stake today.
so here ya go...Cowboys 24 seahawks 17...now sit back and enjoy the game. later Poke
