Dallas Cowboys--America's Team

Letdown

2012-01-15T13:44:00.001-06:00

yeah you all saw it. not much to say even after all this time. wait till next year ! go Cowboys !

It Wasn’t Meaningless To Me !! @##$&^%*^%$

2011-12-27T00:05:00.001-06:00

Yeah I heard all the talk that said it didn’t matter if the Cowboys won after the Giants had beaten the Jets earlier Saturday. I don’t/didn’t buy it. It mattered. There was still a slim chance that The Good Guys could have gotten a wild card if all the right teams lost. It mattered, I never like leaving a stadium after a loss. I sure don’t like it when it looks like the team you root for is

Time Outs

2011-12-06T06:58:00.001-06:00

Saying anything about Jason Garrett’s use or non use of timeouts at the end of regulation seems almost silly at this point. Every radio station, newspaper, blog, TV station and any other media has covered it more extensively than any other news story since Sunday evening. I will do it anyway, in a limited fashion. I have no problem with the time out called right before our kicker nailed his

Too Soon

2011-12-01T15:51:00.001-06:00

So yeah the topic around the water cooler at work is about the Cowboys, it has to be right ? First place in their division and Thanksgiving has come and gone. What else would we be talking about ? Christmas ? Travel plans ? Politics ? Nope, just the important stuff. Pay attention and see if the fullback Chapas that got brought up from the practice squad makes a difference in the run game

2 For The Price Of One Blog Sale

2011-11-28T00:24:00.001-06:00

To honor the holiday shopping season I offer a two-fer. This edition of this tired old blog will cover not one but two games. Both victorious at that ! What a bargain and you didn’t have to camp out in front of any store. You’re welcome. First the game against the deadskins. I was both amazed and ecstatic that their kicker missed 2 !! field goal attempts. It seems like that never happens

Shock And Awe

2011-11-16T15:04:00.001-06:00

My 24 hour rule got waylaid this week by the fact I have been in shock for the last 72 hours. I didn’t see that coming. 44-7 against a team that was 5-3 and seemed to be one of the better AFC teams. I may be a Cowboys homer but I never dreamed the Good Guys would put a whoopin like that on the Bills ! To satisfy those who need a critique, we did allow their running back to gain over 100 yards

Strange Day At The Stadium

2011-11-08T21:59:00.001-06:00

We pretty much have a routine when we go to games at The Crystal Cathedral. Try to get there before or right when the parking lots open 5 hours prior to game time. That gives you plenty of time to set everything up, relax, cook, eat, relax, visit the neighbors, see what everybody is cooking, visit with people from out of town, and get ready to watch the Heroes beat whoever the opponent is that

Which Way Do I Go, Which Way Do I Go ???

2011-11-02T10:21:00.001-05:00

It would be sooo easy to write off this years edition of the Good Guys after the debacle in Philly. Too easy almost. An offensive line that is actually offensive, a defense that kept the Eagirls punter off the field until the 4th quarter. Special teams that did nothing special. Injuries keep mounting up. Young linebacker with broken/sprained/hurt wrist, Cornerback with hamstring issues,

24 hour rule extended

2011-10-30T23:12:00.001-05:00

this week my 24 hour rule about posting thoughts about the Cowboys will be extended to 48 hours due to the extreme bad taste i have in my mouth right now. that is all. later Poke

That Was Fun

2011-10-25T14:58:00.001-05:00

Been a while since the Heroes of My Youth have been in a game like that ! 2 years ago they beat the Seahawks by 21 points but other than that the wins for the Boys seem to be nail biters. Different kind of game too, the run game really shined but it’s hard to know if that was totally by design or a case of the Rams being so bad at defending against it. Either way I was just tickled to see it.

Where We Are vs Where I Thought We Would Be

2011-10-19T14:41:00.001-05:00

We are 2-3. I thought we would be 3-2 now. Not time to wring hands, gnash teeth, moan and roll over playing dead. One games difference in a league where fortunes can change in the snap of an ACL or a shoulder. Close games, all competitive, in it to the end. Not always the best end result but so far the Good Guys have shown they can play. I hate the mistakes, turnovers, penalties and the way

A History Making Blog

2011-10-02T21:42:00.001-05:00

Todays edition of this blog started out great. I was writing at home. The words were just piling up and the other bloggers couldn’t keep up with me. It looked like I had an insurmountable lead. I had never written better. I was scoring points with great ideas and awesome turns of phrase. I wasn’t letting the other bloggers score any points as I shut them down with ease, everything they tried

A Glimpse Inside a Troubled Mind

2011-09-27T00:30:00.001-05:00

I have a rule about my blog posts. I usually won’t write one until 24 hours have passed because I really don’t want everybody to see how fickle and faint hearted this long time, true blue, Cowboys fan can be. It’s a good rule. Rules are however made to be broken so I jotted down quick notes during the game. Actually I put them in my notes section of my phone. It seemed to help calm my nerves

That’s Life In The NFL

2011-09-22T22:05:00.001-05:00

Wow, what a game. I griped and complained the whole time. From the poor offensive showing to the weak secondary play to the missing of chip shot field goals and even about the stupid announcers. Fear set in about the time Kitna threw that second interception and all I could see was another poor start to this season just like last years. I admit it, these guys have me spooked. I no longer am

Calmer now

2011-09-13T12:13:00.001-05:00

Maybe there should be a rule that says fans cant put stuff on the world wide internet bookface until at least 36 hours after a game their team plays. Look at all the bandspace that could have been saved just by eliminating all the…cut Romo, Romo is a bum, Romo=Oh NO, diatribes. I will be the first to admit it killed me seeing the fumble and the interception. Just killed me. I also admit I too

The Ultimate Homer Is Having a Weak Moment

2011-09-08T18:38:00.001-05:00

I am a “homer”. I always think the team I support is going to win. This makes me a terrible gambler because I tend to bet with my heart and not my head. Usually when the first game of the season rolls around I am overflowing with confidence and hoping for a home playoff game. Not so much this year. It’s killing me to write that down but I am trying to be honest. A 6-10 team from last year,

A Practice Post

2011-08-22T13:48:00.001-05:00

I am so ready for football to start that I was going to write a long, well crafted, finely detailed post about how the Boys looked last night at the Crystal Cathedral against the Chargers. I was going to go into great detail about how it looked like our offense is going to need to be heavy on the run game and the short, quick passing game because the offensive line doesn’t seem like it’s going

Procrastinate

2011-08-15T23:56:00.001-05:00

Definition of PROCRASTINATE transitive verb : to put off intentionally and habitually intransitive verb : to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done That’s what I have been doing with this Blog.

Just Wait Till Next Year !!!

2011-01-08T10:44:00.001-06:00

I knew at some point I had to finish out this seasons blog. I just didn’t have a clue what to say or not say. Still don’t really. How does a team so highly thought of end up where the Boys did this year? How do you fall so quickly and completely from the top of the NFL to 6-10 and waiting for the draft? What the heck happened ? Thousands of words have already been written, spoken and

Thanksgiving Day Photos

2010-12-02T11:42:00.001-06:00

It seems like most Thanksgiving Day games bring cold weather. It started cloudy , had some small sleet, wind blew a gajillion MPH. Luckily our canopy wall blocked the North wind. The food (steaks, potato casserole, turkey, cajun dressing ) was all good but before you could eat it, it got cold. Santa was a Saints fan but I do like the fedora on the Cowboy fan. You can feel the heat

If It Weren’t For Bad Luck, We’d Have No Luck At All, Gloom, Despair and Agony, Oh Me

2010-11-26T15:00:00.001-06:00

Wow, I have never taken a nearly a month between posts here during the season. Why this time ? Plenty of reasons to be honest. Laziness on my part, disgust at the way the season has turned out, anger at the team of quitters, I got a new laptop and have spent way too much time getting it the way I like it, ( ironically I wanted it to be set up just like my OLD laptop. Anyway, a lot has

the other shoe dropped

2010-10-27T22:34:00.001-05:00

So we were already faced with being 1-4 going into Mondays game and knowing we were running out of wiggle room if this season was going to end up anywhere near the playoffs. This was definitely a must win, against a divisional opponent, fighting for our lives kind of scenario. The thought of being 1-5 was a horrible, gut wrenching thought that couldn’t get any worse. Except it did. Romo got

Sorry It Comes To This Wade

2010-10-18T11:59:00.001-05:00

The reasons the Cowboys are losing was posted in last weeks blog. They haven’t changed since then. The question is, what the heck needs to be done to fix the problems. The #1 response seems to be fire Wade Phillips. I have been opposed to that idea because I like Wade. I like that he was a Texas High School football player and coach. I like that he comes from a football family. His dad

Here’s Why Cowboy Fans

Remembering Tom Landry, The Personal Collection

2010-10-07T03:07:00.016-05:00

at this years State Fair of Texas there is an exhibit called "Remembering Tom Landry, The Personal Collection" it is located in the Hall of State, which houses statues of Texas heroes like Stephen F Austin, Sam Houston, and William Travis. The items on display are from Alicia Landry (Toms wife). Landry hasn't coached the Cowboys since 1988 and he died in 2000. I was amazed at

When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough…

2010-09-24T11:53:00.001-05:00

give up ? That’s not the way the old saying was taught to me. I must have missed the memo that changed it. The general consensus seems to be that the Boys of the Blue Star Commune have blown the season already. Two games into a 16 game season all I hear is that our Cowboys are out of it. I don’t buy that. Not yet. Not even if they lose this week to the Texans. If this was a love story

I Was Going to Call This I Hate Cowboys Fans But Changed My MInd

2010-09-16T13:58:00.001-05:00

what a week. my head almost exploded sunday night as i watched our Heroes flail helplessly for most of that game only to have a chance to win it on the last play only to then see defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by a penalty. team game. team loss. blame them all. not just one or two. ALL. call it first game woes. call it the curse of playing the redskins. call it any number of things

I can wait no more. I have purposely avoided coming here and putting thoughts down about the upcoming season. Like a teenage kid about to get his drivers license my nerves are tingling with anticipation but much like the teenagers parents I look forward to the event with some trepidation. I have never seen the Cowboys fan base so excited about a rookie player. It almost feels like they are

Self Induced Coma Please

2010-08-18T14:27:00.001-05:00

I hate pre-season. Not a big fan of extended training camp either. Dez Bryant was the first casualty. Sean Lee never got started before he got shut down. Those are just rookies so I didn’t scream too loudly. Marty B also missed the starting bell but it really sucked when John Phillips went down in the HOF game. Marc Colombo needing surgery hit me like a fork in the eye. I calmed myself

Tired Of Waiting For Next Year

Trying real hard to not let my expectations run sky high. Trying not to get plumb giddy thinking about Romo throwing balls to Austin and Witten and Williams AND Dez Bryant. Trying but failing. I cannot wait to see what the red headed genius (Coach Garrett for those of you still watching on black and white TV) comes up with this year. I am also convinced that the defense will be better this

So it’s nearly 100 degrees, middle of summer, the baseball pennant races are shaping up…and my mind turns to football ? Not so much football as your Dallas Cowboys. The Good Guys in silver and blue. I know it may seem a lil early but gee whiz in less than 2 weeks the Pokes open up training camp. We gotta get started worrying about the Heroes of our Youth. I have said before I am not a big

I knew this day was coming. I knew I was going to have to write one last blog about the 2009 NFL season. I have been putting it off because I can’t stand to think about the next few months of Sundays without football. The Super Bowl surprised me. I thought Peyton Manning would win and the Saints would lose. That’s why I don’t bet on the games. What a year for the Cowboys. The new stadium

Can we just play the Game ?

2010-01-17T08:31:00.001-06:00

I feel a bit like Wade Phillips this morning. After practicing this week with crowd noise pumping at the Cowboys Wade said his ears were ringing. Mine are too but its not from crowd noise. It’s from listening to all the sports radio and television “experts” scream why team A will beat team B. My eyes are burning too from reading all the print medias opinions and analysis on the same subject.

So last weeks game wasn’t good enough for ya huh ? I gotta tell you that was impressive. It’s hard enough to beat a team twice in a season much less 3 times. In back to back weeks makes it even more amazing. Sure I always pick the Cowboys to win but I would be lying if I said I never had any doubts this past week. I knew The Heroes of Our Youth were good enough, talented enough and coached

Sure it could have been warmer, but then I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy standing by a fire and warming my hands. And of course I would love to have this scooter but then I think of how many games I would miss when I wreck it and break bones. I always

I originally started this blog so I would have a place to rant and rave about whatever was making me mad about the Dallas Cowboys. Somewhere along the way I mellowed out ( I think it must have started right after Bill Parcells left, sorry but I just couldn’t bring myself to like him even though I respect his football credentials.) It could also be that I have matured ( its possible !), I have

who reminds everybody that while the redskins look like they are going to implode, who looked so terribly bad against the gints, whose coach has resorted to trick plays , that they are the redskins and they would love nothing more than to make us Cowboys miserable by messing up our shot at the playoffs. I have seen it too many times, when one of these teams is down they always seem to play up

Ramblings

2009-12-21T00:39:00.001-06:00

That was fun. A little bit too much fun towards the end, but fun nevertheless. That’s what we fans have been wanting to see all year. A Cowboys team that played smart, hard, hit em in the mouth football from the git go. You could see the writing on the wall almost. This is the NFL, the big boy league. Any time a team gets that much positive publicity, that many glowing accolades on that

ya gotta Believe !!

2009-12-18T12:26:00.001-06:00

Busy time of year, shopping and parties to go to. Travel. Don’t have time to say much. I think the Cowboys beat the aint’s this Saturday. Crazy ? probably. Possible ? absolutely. How ? who knows. It could be a run-away, a nail-biter or anything in between. It could be a last second field goal from a kicker who is having an off year. I have always told ya’ll, don’t make bets on what I say

Ever since our Heroes turned in a gutless performance in the last game of the year in Filthydelphia. Sure the first 11 games counted, the ugly wins, the fugly losses, the pretty wins, the heartbreaking opening game of the year. In reality they all count the same in

Put that W over there with the other 6 W’s, add em up and tell yourself 7 wins is better than 6 wins. I wouldn’t care if they beat them 2 to 0. Problems ?

Yes There Are UGGly Losses

2009-11-15T18:37:00.001-06:00

We already talked about ugly wins this year so now its time to talk about ugly losses. If you watched todays game you know what an UGGly loss looks like. When nothing you do on offense works and then you manage to do something good and there is a penalty or a fumble thats UGGly. When your defense plays good enough to hold a team to 3 points in a half but you are still losing thats UGGly. When

seems a little quick huh ? that’s life in the NFL. time to pack away those great feelings from philly and look only to Green Bay. it would be a HUGE mistake to think that the 4-4 Packers is one of those games where you just show up and claim the Win. In reality there are no games like that. The NFL has bad teams and great teams but the beauty of sports is that there is no scripted ending.

Maybe they can perfect their play calling on

I don't do predictions. For one thing I am not good at it. Secondly nobody else is either so usually I just figure why bother. This week is different. A bye week leaves me with too much time on my hands. I get tired of reading the same old stories the local mediots have written for 2 solid weeks. I get it, nearly everybody could run the team better than Jerry Jones. I get it,

How Bad Are The Chiefs ?

2009-10-11T15:50:00.002-05:00

well now we know why KC is 0-5. the Cowboys played terrible for the most part. the Chiefs still managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They really are bad. Congrats to Miles Austin, he played his heart out.

First Half Thoughts

2009-10-11T13:32:00.003-05:00

im gonna have to do this as the game goes along cuz i am already losing track of all the mistakes. so a fumbled punt, missed FG, too many penalties to count, a fumbled snap, and 2 wasted time outs by the offense in the first quarter leads to the 0-4 Chiefs leading by 10 points. the Chiefs are so bad i still think the Boys can get their act together enough to win this game. i may be totally

What a Difference a Year Makes

2009-10-07T03:05:00.002-05:00

Last year our Heroes were one of the favorites to be in the Super Bowl. Last year Tony Romo was being talked about as one of the rising star QB's in the NFL. Last year Demarcus Ware had 20 sacks. Last year people thought the Red Headed Genius (Jason Garrett) was, well a genius. Last year after 4 games the Boys were 3-1. This year after 4 games the Boys are 2-2. Yet sports writers, message board

Who Knew Kyle Orton was Better than Romo ?

2009-10-04T18:29:00.001-05:00

i may have more rational thoughts later this week. that stunk. the defense did good all day but at the end you just had to know that they would break. Romo turned in another of those games where you dont believe its the same guy who can play so good. Not having Felix hurts this team more than anybody realizes. That was butt ugly. later Poke

2009-09-29T06:08:00.000-05:00

I may read too much. After the game, which the Boys did win in spite of what you may read about how sorry they looked, I checked out my favorite message board for reaction. WOW...Cowboy fans seem to be losing their ever-loving minds. I thought I would read about how awesome our running game looked, especially since our # 3 running back had to carry the load in the 2nd half. NOPE, what i read

What the Heck to Expect ?

2009-09-26T04:04:00.001-05:00

First game the D looks like they couldn't stop a strong Texas high school team from running the ball Second game they hold the Giants to less than 100 yards rushing First game Tony throws for a career high 344 yards passing. Second game Tony throws for what seemed like that much, only to the guys in blue shirts. First game the Good Guys win by 13 on the road. Second game the same Good Guys lose

Cowboys-Giants Part Deux

2009-09-21T22:38:00.000-05:00

So maybe I can put my thoughts down without using all the words I learned in the 8th grade lockerroom and the 24 years working on the railroad. The easy thing to do would be for me to say Romo sucks. Sure he played terrible, I mean really terrible but do you want his backup, Jon Kitna in there ? I don't. It's kind of silly to say the Cowboys QB is what makes them a terrible team just one

I don't even want to call it preseason.They used to be called exhibitions because that is allit really is.

i have often referred to Texas Stadium as the Tabernacle of the Blue Star.if Texas Stadium was a tabernacle then this new beauty rising over the landscape in Arlington can be considered nothing less than a shiny, eye catching Crystal Cathedral. ( my apologies to Robert Schuler).i went out for the open house last Saturday. to say i was impressed would be a huge understatement.i was a young boy

i interrupt my regularly scheduled blogging to schill forCampbells Chunky Soup.apparently our Boys made their click for cans playoff and if fans go and click on their site for their team Campbells will donate some food to an area food bank.since it cost nothing i figured i would help spread the news.so if you wanna go vote click on the title of this blog(Cowboys in these Playoffs ) and click away.

im no doctor so these few words are the best i can do.most cowboy fans need a big ole dose of valium right now.i know i know it looked like the Cowboys had some yesterday .i didnt see much of that game. lucky me.had to catch a plane and make a drive and only saw parts of it.you had to see this coming didnt you ?this team has had ups and downs all year but honestly mostof the ups were early.there

they tore my heart out and stomped that sucker flat !

what a sad day and sad way to end an era.Texas Stadium went out with a whimper and 65,000 cursesfrom diappointed fans.i can honestly say i never saw anything like those 2 75 yard + runs.neither has anybody else because that was a first.it could have been a great day, instead it was just the end.Texas Stadium deserved better than that, those ex players who showedup and stood in the cold deserved

focus

focus is my word of the week for the Good Guys.sure last week was a circus with all the he said...she saidstuff going on.somehow the Boys focused and beat the Giants.but this week....how can you not be thinking aboutthis being THE LAST GAME AT TEXAS STADIUM ?i know the players dont all look at this like us fans do.but you would have to be in that cave with Bin Laden tonot see or hear or read

madder than a wet hornet...sick to my stomach...sorely disappointed.take your pick, any and all describe me right now.The Boys hopefully feel the same way.I was so proud of those guys.Road game, cold cold weather.Star players hurt and more getting that way all day.Looked bad on offense from the start.Defense kept us in the game.Tied at the half, okay we gotta chance.GREAT 3rd quarter, Romo

just another BIG game

tough day coming for the Good Guys in Pittsburgh.snowy and windy is the weather prediction.be a good day to run the ball right at them and justpound the old rock in there.huh ? whats that ? our star RB has a hurt toe ? it figures, thats the way this year has rolled out.we seem to get our offense lined out and clicking andthen a piece is hurt.ive seen teams do well in the passing game in bad

thanks Dallas Cowboys

2008-11-28T10:43:00.002-06:00

what a day.thats the kind of day Thanksgiving was invented by Al Gore for.great weather, GREAT FOOD, great company and GREAT FOOTBALL.The Boys took care of business, hopefully the injuries arent too badfor Ware and Barber...use these 10 days to heal up.Tashard Choice looked really good running that ball.Great to see Witten and Romo hooking up again.TO did what he does...(make great catches, miss

is it Thanksgiving already ?

2008-11-27T00:39:00.002-06:00

man i am slipping.its game day and i never even waxed poetically about last weeksbig win over the whiners.the way that game started i was afraid we were in for a long dayat the Tabernacle.the big plays to TO,and the defensive stands in the red zone kept the gamefrom getting away from us.The blocked punt felt huge in waking the whole team and the crowd up.Good job but no time for looking back.The

long road back

2008-11-18T11:31:00.002-06:00

well that was the first step.good job Cowboys.they played with an urgency and sense of purpose.those bye weeks are a good thing.good to see Romo out there, push passing that ball......you could tell that pinkie bothered him some but he was so much betterthan the other guys we could send out.thats the defense we thought we would have all year, thanks T-New !!i agreed with Wades choice at the end

too much talk

2008-10-31T10:51:00.005-05:00

okay so its hard for a blogger to admit.there is too much Cowboys talk going on.that wont keep me from expounding even more on the Boys buti have to at least point it out.the local radio idiots have been having a field day.espn has not missed a chance to build up our guys, thenspend an equal or greater amount of time tearing them down.remember this was a team that was going to the Super Bowlnot

real problems....no real answers

2008-10-21T11:43:00.002-05:00

4 and stinking 3.i never would have thought thats where the Boys would be at this point.i thought our O-line was better than that.thought our defense was WAY better than that.this team does have real problems.special teams is another real problem.then throw in the perception that the team has no identity or mental toughness.our record indicates those are all valid, REAL problems.but i havent seen

dealing with grief

2008-10-19T18:23:00.002-05:00

what can i say ?? i am so disappointed.i knew the Boys had a huge task today.all the injuries, suspensions, and general unease about thedesire and motivation of our team made todays game very lose-able.i can deal with losing. i cant deal with losing all the ways we lost today.losing games is one thing but losing hope of being a good team hurts too much.so i will continue to believe that the Boys

addition by subtraction

2008-10-15T18:13:00.002-05:00

so i dont have any inside info.BUT....the lack of players screaming how much they aregonna miss Adam Jones leads me to think that maybe hewasnt that beloved by most of his teammates and thatjust maybe the Boys will be better of without him.do not take this wrong.i was glad JJ signed him. i had hoped he would light it up.he hasnt yet but i felt like he would get better.he still might. but for at
