Greetings all.. or maybe just the one person that has checked back to see if there was anything new posted.. I wrote this, and posted this on my myspace blog.. Ol Broad pointed out that I have not posted anything in awhile.. I told her I was writing my blogs on my myspace page.. she then tells me.. not everyone can see it dork! So I will return back to my blog roots!! Enjoy!!
Ya know.. its been awhile since I posted a blog.. I have been taking a break if you will.. but I just cant leave this one alone!!! If you live under a rock.. continue to live there.. For the rest of us.. We have all head about Michael Vick, and the charges that have been brought up against him in connection with a dog fighting ring, that he and 3 other men started.. My question is.. if you sign a contract for 10 years for $130 million dollars, why the hell do you feel the need to do something you know is wrong? Do you think your above the law, like most other superstars, movie stars, and musicians?? I read the 18 page grand jury report today online.. gotta love the internet.. And it made my stomach turn.. I think dog fighting is wrong anyway.. but some of the things that Vick and his crew did were beyond cruel.. Vick is basically screwed.. in every sense of the word.. let me rephrase that.. he should be screwed.. If convicted he faces 6 years, and a $250,000 fine.. a drop in the bucket if you ask me.. You would think that Michael learned something from his little brother Marcus.. and all the off field issues he had, which eventually lead to him being booted as the starting QB job at Virginia Tech.. I guess it just floors me when someone that has it all.. does something stupid.. IF Vick gets thru this.. His career will never recover.. Nike and Gatorade have already cut ties with him.. For what? alittle excitement.. some chump change bets?? *shakes head* I really wish that athletes would realize that they are role models.. Charles Barkley said years ago that he didnt want to be a role model.. Tough shit Mr Barkely.. Kids look up to athletes.. they spend their parents money on your jerseys, and other goods.. You dont seem to mind taking the money for the sales of your stuff.. so you sir are a role model! Vick is a god in Atlanta.. and this is how he repays his friends, family, and even worse.. his FANS!!! The League and the team are in a very sticky situation.. If they take action before the trial is over.. then they run the risk of being sued.. if they wait to long.. they look like bad.. its a very very sticky situation! I know everyone is innocent until proven guilty.. but man it looks bad for Vick.. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.. I just hope he does not get off on these charges merely because of who he is..

New York
So, I took a trip to New York this weekend.. to attend a Tony Robbins seminar with some people from work.. It was very interesting to say the least.. I actually enjoyed it.. So were sitting there Friday and all the sudden a picture comes up on the projectors of a raging fire going on right outside the convention center.. It would appear that they are preparing the coals for us to walk across later that night.. "Excuse Me"?? "You want us to do what"?? Ok, I must say that I forgot about this part of the weekend.. So he starts going into the speech to get us pumped up to do this.. and Im whispered to the VP of my company.. "Umm yeah he is outta his f*$&@$g mind" My VP kinda laughs.. and says.. "You might want to pay attention because WE ARE doing this"!!! "Excuse Me"??? "We"?? "You got a mouse in your pocket"?? So as I begin to pay attention, I notice some of the images up on the screen.. NOT really helping me here.. One of the images is the final battle scene in Episode 3... u know where someone looses their legs?? Not to mention the fact that he mentioned how hot these coals are.. Roughly about 2000 degrees.. At this point, all I can think about is "am I leaving New York with all my piggies in tact! Or even better... I could just loose the whole foot! So I pay attention because I dont want my piggies roasting on an open fire so to speak... But the more I listened.. the more I thought.. I can do this.. My VP tells me.. "hey lets go find this fire" Now this seemed like a good idea at the time.. we walk downstairs.. and we find it.. and lets just say you can feel the heat from over 50 feet away!!! I then turn to my VP and tell him.. "You have fun with that, and I hope it works out for you.. I will pray for your piggies"! He started laughing.. then used one of my lines.. "Its funny you think you get a vote in this".. It was almost as bad as when my daughter gives me one of my own looks.. You know its really important your in the convention center when the instructions are going on.. A crew member comes up to us and tells us, "If your going to do the firewalk, you might want to go in and listen to Tony right now!" So we go back in.. Sit down for the final words of wisdom.. About 20 minutes later... we hear.. Take your shoes and socks off, and lets go outside!.. So I take off my shoes and socks.. and kinda look at my piggies.. wish them well.. Off we go... Now there were about 5000 people at this seminar.. and less then half went outside..Apparently we had some smart ones at this seminar! We stand in line.. The whole time I am standing in line.. trying to project myself to a "happy place".. not trying to think about piggies roasting on an open fire!! Cell phone is going off.. which was not helping me !!! My phone is taken away from me at one point.. to ensure that I put myself in a happy place!.. I get up to the path.. I look around.. People screamin.. chanting ect.. I swear I heard someone yell out.. "Burn Baby Burn" prolly was just in my head!.. I projected myself to a happy place.. I mean a real happy place!! and take the first step out onto the coals.. I take about 8 or 10 steps, next thing I know.. I have done it! Im wiping my feet off, and getting them hosed down.. I am glad to report no piggies were harmed in the making of this fire walk! :) I was so pumped after I had done this, that I wanted to do it again, but I couldnt! You know one big thing that I took away from this weekend, is that If you fear something, You must do it!!! I would do this again, any given chance.. and I now find myself wanting to jump out of a perfectly good airplane!!!!

Greatness!!!
A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday
morning. He said "Today, in church, I am going to say a single word and
you are going to help me preach. Whatever single word I say, I want you
to sing whatever hymn that comes to your mind".
The pastor shouted out " CROSS ".
Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, "THE OLD RUGGED CROSS "
The pastor hollered out " GRACE". The congregation began to sing,
"AMAZING GRACE, how sweet the sound ".
The pastor said " POWER". The congregation sang, "THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD ".
The Pastor said "SEX ". The congregation fell into total silence. Everyone was in shock. They all nervously began to look around at each other afraid to say anything. Then all of a sudden, way from in the back of the church, a little old 87 year old grandmother stood up and began to sing "PRECIOUS MEMORIES ".

The Romo Rule???? *Shakes Head*
NFL owners and general managers are meeting this week to vote on rulebook changes for next year. Among their decisions thus far have been the decision to make instant replay review “permanent” (they’d previously been voting on it year-by-year) and not to allow defensive players to be linked via helmet microphones to the sidelines in the same way that quarterbacks are.
The most interesting rule for Cowboys Nation, however, was reported by ESPN’s Chris Mortensen this evening on Sportscenter– the Romo Rule, due to be voted on tomorrow. So named because of Tony’s botched hold in the Seattle playoff game, this rule would adjust the way that footballs are prepared before being used in place-kicking situations. As most of us know and have anguished over, the NFL currently uses brand-new “K Balls” for place-kicks, making them slicker and more difficult to handle. For us, it’s a bit of shutting the barn door after the cow’s already gone, but what can you do?
If this rule passes, it would be another in a long line of Cowboys-focused rules in the NFL’s book. Past rules unofficially named after Cowboys are the Emmit Smith Rule (no removing your helmet on the field of play), the Michael Irvin Rule (harsher offensive pass intereference enforcement), the Deion Sanders Rule (no excessive celebration), and the Roy Williams Rule (no horse collar tackling).
In one way or another, America’s Team is constantly making its presence known around the league

Number One Idiot of 2006
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center
Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants.
I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away.
Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.

Number Two Idiot of 2006
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming towards them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer employed at Boeing.
Here's your sign, guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.

Number Three Idiot of 2006
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and wrote this: "Put all your muny in this bag."
While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window.
So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it
anyway.

Number Four Idiot of 2006
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that; measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40.
Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40.

Number Five Idiot of 2006
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf.
He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
This guy definitely needs a sign.

Idiot Number Seven of 2006
Arkansas : Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass.
The whole event was caught on videotape.

HEHEHE!!!!
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN? ABSOLUTELY A TRUE STORY....HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT.
A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly payments of $560.00).
He and a friend go duck hunting in upper Wisconsin. It's
mid-winter...and of course, all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the ice with their GUNS, a DOG....and of course, the new NAVIGATOR. They decide they want to make a natural looking open water area for the ducks to focus on....something for the decoys to float on.
Now, making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck, is
going to take a little more power than the average drill auger can produce.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with a short 40 second-fuse. Now our two Rocket Scientists, afraid they might slip on the ice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse (and becoming toast, along with the Navigator), decide on the following course of action: they light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they throw the stick of dynamite as far away as possible.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the NAVIGATOR, the GUNS, and the DOG...??? ;
Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING; especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it - the dog takes off across the ice at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with the burning 40-second fuse, just as it hits the ice.
The two men swallow; blink; start waving their arms; and, with veins in
their necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb, scream and holler at the dog to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps coming.
One hunter panics; grabs the shotgun; and shoots the dog. The shotgun is
loaded with #8 bird shot....hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, then continues on. Another shot, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused....and of course terrified...thinks these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover.......UNDER the brand new Navigator.
The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe on the
truck touches the dog's rear end; he yelps; drops the dynamite under the
truck; and takes off after his master.
Then " "" "" "" "" " BOOOOOOOOOOOOM "" "" "" "" "" ! ! ! !
The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake...leaving
the two idiots standing there with "I can't believe this just happened"
looks on their faces .
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal
use of explosiv es is NOT COVERED by the policy. And he still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments.
The dog is okay. .doing fine. And you thought all Rednecks lived in the
South!

Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING; especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it - the dog takes off across the ice at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with the burning 40-second fuse, just as it hits the ice.
The two men swallow; blink; start waving their arms; and, with veins in
their necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb, scream and holler at the dog to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps coming.
One hunter panics; grabs the shotgun; and shoots the dog. The shotgun is
loaded with #8 bird shot....hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, then continues on. Another shot, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused....and of course terrified...thinks these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover.......UNDER the brand new Navigator.
The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe on the
truck touches the dog's rear end; he yelps; drops the dynamite under the
truck; and takes off after his master.
Then " "" "" "" "" " BOOOOOOOOOOOOM "" "" "" "" "" ! ! ! !
The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake...leaving
the two idiots standing there with "I can't believe this just happened"
looks on their faces .
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal
use of explosiv es is NOT COVERED by the policy. And he still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments.
The dog is okay. .doing fine. And you thought all Rednecks lived in the
South!

Personality Test! *Dont hit me Ol Broad* :P
Personality Test
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving
an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test
features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will
have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to
each line. Answer honestly!!!
You are in Florida , Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you
caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical
proportions. You are a photo journalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is
nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There
are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life,
trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's Hillary
Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.
You have two options: you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you
can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death
of one of the world's most powerful women.
So here's the question, and please give an honest answer.......
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the
classic simplicity of black and white?

Funny of the day!!!!!
Married for a Night ?
A man and a woman, who had never met before, but were both married to other
people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a
transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over
sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in
the upper bunk and she in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, the man leaned over and gently woke the woman saying, "Ma'am,
I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet
to get me a second blanket? I'm awful ly cold."
"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, let's pretend that
we're married."
>
"Wow! That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.
"Good," she answered. "Get your own damn blanket!"
After a moment of silence, he farted.

Cowboy News
Ok... so we have a new "Bum" in town.. and there have been a few some what big names signings this week out at Valley Ranch.. First we start with Romo's backup.. Brad Johnson... Thats right I said Brad Johnson.. Former backup turned starter for the Vikings.. The Cowboys are the only team I know of that can release a 35 year old quarterback, only to get older at the position.. Johnson is 39???? *Shakes Head*.. The number one question being asked right now is "Cowboy fans, are you ready for a 5-11 season?? Next major signing was Leonard Davis.. Offensive lineman that came to us ffrom Arizona.. He high first round draft pick a few years ago, that has not lived up to his full potential.. ya know kinda like Mario Williams last season.. *snickers at the Texans* Davis was signed to a 7 year $49.6 million dollar deal, that included a $16 Million dollar signing bonus!.. Thanks Jerry.. I know your trying to plan for the future.. since Colombo is going to test the waters in free angency.. and Rivera had his second back surgery this off season.. but umm.. I have very mixed feelings about this signing.. And last but not least.. we signed the little kicker that could..Martin Gramatica.... I feel better about him being our kicker then I did when we signed Vandershank! last season.. So far this off season the smartest signing by a mile is the Matt Mcbriar signing.. and he is our PUNTER!!!! This will be an interesting offseason to say the least!
Ok, Im back..
Sorry for the delay in posts that everyone wants to read.. Let the Hot Sports Opinions, and rants continue! :)

Funny of the day!!
Darned clever, those Canadians?
America should consider changing their currency too!
Due to the global war on terrorism, many terrorist organizations have had their finances frozen. Consequently, they have resorted to counterfeiting.
The Canadians have decided to redesign their currency to prevent the radical Islamic terrorist, from even touching it? Islam derides female nudity.
It is also hoped that this will have a positive effect on tourism
*Swiped from Ol Broad* Somehow I dont feel to bad, since I got the same email from Mr Ol Broad :)

Funny of the day!
My ex-wife started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started and she got her license shortly before our divorce was final; later that same year.
Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern Tennessee because of bad weather. Thank God our kids were with me at the Beach House this weekend.
The NTSB issued a preliminary report, citing pilot error: Judy was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating) rating.
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.
Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to her aircraft, She was very lucky.

News of the day!!
So if your a reader of my blog.. ya know, all 5 of you..which I am grateful by the way :) Anyway.. Im sure you saw the post about my buddy Elvis, and remember the picture of us in the studio... And you will also remember in that post.. I plugged our myspace page.. Anyway.. I get a call tonight for Elvis.. and the words "your never going to believe this" come out of his mouth.. this is always a scary phrase.. He told me that he got a email today from a DJ in Australia .. Now this has my attention.. He then tells me.. "We need to put a disc together this weekend".. ummm, ofcourse you know I asked why?.. Apparently this DJ heard some of the songs we have listed.. and wants a cd from us, so he can play our music on his show.... Ofcourse we are excited about this!!! So I guess we will be spending the weekend trying to put together our best stuff and sending it off! The next question out of my mouth was, "How are we going to know that he is actually playing our music".. Elvis told me that the DJ told him in the follow up email.. when he would be on, gave us the website so we could listen online, and would even shoot us an email to let us know when he was going to play our stuff.. Once again, very exciting stuff!

Theres a new "Bum" in town..
As most of you already know.. Wade Phillips has been named the new head coach of the Cowboys.. Why? Is this the best Jerry could do?? Please tell me this isnt another Dave Campo, Mr Jones!!! For those of you who dont know Wade.. let me give you some background on him.. He comes to us from San Diego.. were he ran one tough 3-4 defense.. this is the only bright point I can offer at this point.. Oh and for those of you who remember the "Luv Ya Blue" days.. when Houston had the Oilers.. His daddy is Bum Phillips.. Wade has made previous stops in Denver, and Buffalo as a head coach.. Some ESPN experts say this is a good hire for us.. The same ESPN experts told us that Mike Williams was the best talent in the draft a few years ago.. And he is now of the verge of being cut by Detroit.. *sigh* Oh Mel.. Your scouting is wonderful!! I guess only time will tell if this was a smart hire, or just another attempt for Jones to coach the team from his suite.. Please Mr Jones, dont make Wade Phillips another puppet for the Cowboys.. You have a roster full of talent.. Silent E.. would love to hear your thoughts on this :)
Wives celebrate around the world....
Thats right ladies and gentleman.. The football season is giving us one final death rattle as we speak.. The Pro Bowl.. A week long paid vacation in Hawaii.. must be tough right?? I say again, Wives around the world are dancin in the streets.. I know my wife is!! When I came home from watching the Superbowl.. she was doing the snoopy dance.. because she knew by the look on my face.. Football season was over.. Thats ok.. April is right around the corner... DRAFT DAY!!!
If you need a laugh!
We have all been there.. Your sitting at your table, and the bill has arrived.. Your trying to rate your servers performance.. Was your order correct? Did they keep your drink glass full? Which is a big factor in my tip scale, might I add.. So you pay your bill.. tip included and you leave.. Well if your server is not happy with your tip, and they have internet access.. You just may end up on this site.. Thats right.. there is acutally a site for waitstaff to tell the world, just what a cheapskate you are! Now this wont stop me from tipping according to service.. but it was interesting to find out how just how cheap some of our favorite celebrities are.. Enjoy.. The wife and I sure did..

Sports Lunatic Strikes Again!
Now my mother-in-law has defined me as a "Sports Lunatic".. which I will not deny this fact.. The pictures above represent about a month of planning, and alot of luck.. My buddy Elvis is the biggest Dallas Stars Fan there is.. So when Christmas time came around.. My buddy Pat and I were trying to figure out what we should get him.. Pat works for the Stars, he runs a proshop at one of the centers here.. Pat calls me and tells me that he got an "AllStar" Helmet in.. because the AllStar game was here this year.. He said it was pretty slick.. I said ok.. we can do that.. Then I said "wouldnt it be cool if we could get it signed by the 4 Stars that are on the ballot this year.. Zubie, Modono, Turco, and Morrow.. He said.. it would be, but I cant ask for autographs, being an employee... He then said.. they have open practice here.. you can stand in line, and see what you can get.. I said that will work.. just tell me when.. So I took the day off work, and headed to Frisco to meet Pat at 8:30 am.. So we meet.. and then quickly realize we didnt have a sharpie.. so we ran over to Target and picked one up, along with a cup of coffee... Head back over to the rink.. Then I get a call, my assistant lost her keys to the office, so we had to run back down to Dallas.. About a 30 minute drive.. Unlock the office.. Then off we go back to Frisco.. We sat and watch the Stars practice.. which was very cool.. I wandered out to the area where the players will be leaving the locker room.. to secure a spot.. I stood in line for about 2 hours.. and am glad to report that we won the good fight.. I got 24 of 26 signatures on this helmet.. Now remember... I was only after 4.. I must say, as this helmet started filling up.. I began to drool.. and ponder keeping the helmet for myself.. Pat derailed that train of thought rather quickly.. We leave practice.. and I head to my card shop that I frequent to buy a case.. I get this helmet home.. I then have StaCee wrap up the case and then the helmet.. Pat arrives.. We call Elvis.. Elvis comes over, and we give him the case to unwrap.. He looks at it.. and must be thinking.."What the hell is this"?? Then we give him the helmet.. he unwraps it, and is speechless.. Then the tears come.. He first thought we bought the helmet.. Then we tell him that we stood in line to get this signed for him.. He still cant believe, along with all the people standing in line, that we would do that for him.. He has already been told that he will be getting sticks of gum as Christmas presents from us for the next 5 years
My Local BestBuy!!
I am happy to report that I now have my laptop back. It only took about 2 weeks to ship to its maker, have them replace the cd/dvdr drive, and ship back.. but HEY when the the invoice says "$0 Balance Owed" who am I to complain.. I wish the maker would have cleaned it up abit.. because it came back dirtier then when it left.. but once again I cant complain.. What I can complain about is the service I received at my local BestBuy AGAIN!!! I get a call from the Geek Squad this morning, I answer the cell.. they hang up on me??? I get back to my office.. My Assistant tells me.. BestBuy called, and your laptop is ready.. *sigh*.. I just passed my local BestBuy.. So off I go to my local BestBuy... stand in line behind someone who wasnt quite sure she wanted to upgrade to Windows Vista.. but apparently had money burning a hole in her pocket.. because it was how much is this, and how much is that.. I get to the counter, I am asked "can I help you" indicating to me that this young man is ready to give me his undivided attention, YEAH RIGHT! Customer service is a dying art in this country.. His cell phone rings, and I have to stand there for 5 minutes and be told to hold on, while this young man relives his night out, and how durnk he got, and the fact that he was to drunk to get laid, by some willing girl he took home.. I then asked the man to lean alittle closer.. he did, I took the phone out of his hand, then told the caller.. He will call have to call you right back.. he is at work, and is busy with a customer... and I hang up the phone.. and place it on the counter!! Now the line of people that had formed behind me.. also waiting on Geek Squad begin to clap.. This young man, in disbelieve then turns to me and said "That was the rudest thing I have ever seen" I reply.. "You should have been on this end".. "Now can you please help me out here".. He then asks me "What the F**k can I help you with" "2 things.. I need to pick up my laptop, and I need to speak to your manager".. He disappears in the back for about 5 minutes.. when he returns.. His manager is by his side.. His manager turns to me and says "My employee here tells me you assaulted him".. WHAT??? EXUSE ME?? I have a line of people behind me that saw the whole thing.. but if I did, please by all means call the police.. but if your employee wants to call the cops, I will beat the hell outta him until the cops show up.. Did he happen to mention the fact he was on a personal call, on his cell phone about his drunken evening, and not getting laid because he was too drunk, and I was asked to hold on until he was done??? The manager then turns to this young man, and asked "is this true"?? I was very impressed, this young man acutally said.. yes this is true.. The manager did his best impression of Donald Trump.. and said "Your Fired" and even did the hand motion..Fired this kid on the spot.. Now I felt bad that this young man lost his job at this point, but this feeling fades away like a sunset when I leave the store and am confronted by him in the parking lot... which I kinda figured was coming.. This young man told me he should beat the hell outta me right here.. I told him if he really wanted to get his ass kicked, then I wouldbe happy to help him out.. I told him I hope you learned a lesson today son.. The customers that you put on hold, and dismiss... PAY YOUR SALARY!!!
Needless to say.. I prolly wont be going back to my local BestBuy.. Thats ok.. I wont shed a tear.. Ill just go 5 minutes further down the road.. and go to Frys.. They are cheaper.. and I already know Im going to be treated like crap when I go in there!!! :)

My computer is meeting its maker!
My computer is in route back to its maker! My cd/dvd rewriter went out.. it seems that no one in the city of Dallas works on Gateways anymore.. oh well.. good thing it was still under warranty.. lol. So I bought my laptop last January.. Went to a local BestBuy.. decided on the computer.. it was taken up front and was paid for.. About a year later.. the drive starts to have problems.. I took it back to another local BestBuy.. Only to find out that the moron that sold it to me didnt put me in the system.. so there is no record of me buying it.. and of course I can not find the reciept.. So I call the number given to me by one of the BestBuy staff.. only to be told.. Im sorry.. without the reciept number I can find your warranty info.. *sigh*.. Feeling like I am going around in circles.. I go back to the local BestBuy and start the process all over.. I spoke to the "Customer Satisfaction Yo-Yo" at the store.. I told him the store # I bought the computer at, the amount of the ticket within $20, and I also told him the time of the sale within 15 minutes.. Knowing that he could go to his little computer and go through the reciepts on the computer and find my reciept.. I was asked how did I pay for the computer.. I then told him "I paid cash".. I was told, and I cant believe I was told this "You should have paid for the item with my credit card".. HUH? He told me I would then be in the system.. and he could find my reciept.. I then replied.. if the salesperson had done there job, and put me in the system when I made a "major purchase" then I would be in the system.. If I put it on my credit card.. I would pay interest on something I could just pay cash for! Well feeling like I was going no where at a breakneck pace... Another manager came up and so here we go again.. this manager took me over to a computer and started going through reciepts for a 2 week span of when I bought the computer.. She then asked me for my contact info, because she feared this was going to take awhile.. I can say that when I asked her "is this a tactic to get me to leave the store" she got a laugh outta that.. she said no.. I promise you I will find this.. So giving her my info.. I left.. feeling beat down from the whole morning, I went back to my office.. about 20 minutes later.. I got a call.. It was her.. and she had found my reciept.. Long story short.. My laptop is on its way to its maker to be repaired.. and all is great.. *Morale of the story* Hold on to your reciept.. or pay for a major purchase on your credit card.. so you will be in the system! LOL.. Also if you have a problem.. pray someone at the store actually wants to do thier jobs!!! lol

Your Kidding Right????
Apparently if your gay.. you have defect that can be fixed? Atleast thats what some scientists seem to think up in Oregon.. Im sorry this will probably ruffle some feathers.. but has society deemed it unacceptable to be gay? I brought this up with one of my team members tonight while bowling to get his opinion... I can tell you this much.. the conversation turned religious real quick.. Which is usually the case when the "gay discussion" comes up.. He told me one of the reasons he was against Gay Marriages is because when God set this world into motion.. he put man and woman on this earth to pro-create.. I then asked him "so has the gay community stopped men and women from pro-creating"?? He replied, "Well I guess not".. He later brought up another reason he was against gay marriage.. He said "it upsets me to see gay couples try to get married to gain the same straight marriage benefits.. I.E. Tax breaks, insurance, ect.. I replied.. You do realize that a gay couple can get medical benefits from the companies they work for, and Starbucks.. the company your son works for, offers benefits to "partners" right? He didnt reply.. The discussion ended when I asked the question "Is it possible that gay people might want to get married for the same reason you and your wife got married.. because they actually love eachother".. This discussion has been put right up there with the following no-no conversations at dinner, you know.. money, politics, religion.. and now gay marriage.. Everyone seems to have very diffrent opinions.. My dad and I have had this discussion before.. With pretty much the same results as my conversation tonight.. he made exactly the same points.. Some of the time my dad makes interesting points.. Other times I get the idea my dad should return to the stone ages.. you figure out where he belongs on this topic.. Anyway.. read the article below..

Help Stop Cruel and Pointless 'Gay Sheep' Experiments
Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), a school that has received criticism in the past for torturing monkeys in its labs, has officially been outed. Information has been brought to light about ridiculous “gay sheep” experiments that are being conducted at the school. You heard right—OHSU experimenter Charles Roselli is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to kill homosexual rams and cut open their brains in an attempt to find the hormone behind homosexual tendencies so that these tendencies can be changed. Roselli is also working with experimenter Frederick Stormshak of Oregon State University (OSU), who has surgically inserted an estrogen implant in the bodies of these rams in an effort “to restore tissue levels of estrogen comparable to those of heterosexual rams and affect sexual behavior accordingly.”
To put it simply, these experimenters believe that homosexuality is a defect that needs to be fixed, and they’re cutting open and killing gay sheep to do it. These experiments also carry the insidious implication that homosexuality in humans needs to be "cured." In his application for public funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), he states that “this research also has broader implications for understanding the development and control of sexual motivation and mate selection across mammalian species, including humans

The Wife Wants
fennec.jpg)
My friends all have started calling me "ACE".. now normally this is considered a cool nickname.. Well they call me "Ace" as in Ace Ventura.. My wife and I have a herd.. we dont just have a cat.. we have 3 and the Weasel.. If you've seen the first Ace Ventura movie.. the scene where he comes home.. and says "come to me my friends" and every animal known to man comes out of the wood work.. well thats kinda what its like coming into my house.. couple of cats waiting to be fed.. The sound of a bell ringing to indicate the weasel is on the prowl.. Cheyenne is usually involved in this process as well.. So one day while looking around on the web... I hear.. "I WANT" now normally when my wife wants.. most of the time she gets.. because lets face it.. "If shes not happy, Im not happy" guys you know what Im talking about.. Anyway this is what she was talking about!!!
Want one?

*Sigh*
Well it was a wonderful weekend of football.. I acutally got to watch both games yesterday.. due to the wife reading her "fan fick" on the computer.. I went 2-2 for my predictions this weekend.. and I can honestly say I am disappointed.. Well my disappointment began last weekend with the Cowboys.. but thats another story.. wound is still fresh on that one.. Im disappointed that the Ravens offense didnt show up yesterday.. which allows Indy to move one step closer to the Superbowl.. Im also disappointed the Chargers fell short this evening.. not that I am a huge Chargers fan.. but it would be nice to see someone other then Tom Brady and the Patriots play in the Superbowl.. As a die hard Cowboys fan I can say that I am estatic that New Orleans punched the Eagles in the mouth!!! Thou can you imagine the starting QB issues in Eagle land next year, if Garcia would have been able to win it all.. Poor McNabb.. guy just cant get a break.. oh well.. I am now left with the dilema of who to root for next weekend in the Colts/Patriots game.. I cant stand the Colts.. but dont want to see the Patriots in the Superbowl yet again.. So here is my prediction for the Superbowl..
Saints/Colts.. If the Saints make it to the big show.. let the media frenzy and the feel good story of the year start porring out, until we are all sick!!!

I found Elvis!!!
Me and my buddy Elvis in the studio last year.. Hopefully with any luck we will be back in the studio real soon.. Elvis has tons of talent.. and belongs on stage!! If you want to hear some of his music.. check out the bands myspace page.. He has 4 songs on his page.. and usually changes them out once a week..
What they say is true....
Whoever said that having a ferret, is like having a 2 year old child.. they were'nt kidding.. Meet Jax.. or as I like to call him Jax Vin Weasel.. My wife and I have decided we need to get a sign that says "Warning Attack Weasel".. When Jax is running loose in the house.. no cat is safe.. our cats are subject to a sneak attack at anytime.. His favorite move is to sneak under the coffee table and spring out and chase an unexpecting cat around the house! Poor cats.. His other favorite past time is to chase our daughter around the house.. and bite at her toes.. very very funny stuff to watch!!!
Redneck Horoscopes!!!
Some of us Southerners are pretty skeptical of horoscopes and the
people that read them. If we are to ever fully understand all the star
signs and the people they represent, we need symbols that all true
Southerners understand. See the list below...
POSSUM (Dec 22 - Jan 20)When confronted with life's difficulties,
possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a
don't-bother-me-about-it attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn,
people actually think you're dead. This strategy is probably not
psychologically healthy but seems to work for you. You are a rare breed.
Most folks love to watch you work and play. You are a night person and
mind your own business.
CHITLIN (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Chitlins come from humble backgrounds. A
Chitlin, however, will make something of himself if he is motivated and
has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful they may
surprise you. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with
Catfish and Okra.
BOLL WEEVIL (Feb 20 - March 20) You have an overwhelming curiosity.
You're unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the need to
bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very
intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. You love to stay
busy and tend to work too much. Nobody in their right mind is going to
marry you, so don't worry about it.
MOON PIE (March 21 - April 20) You're the type that spends a lot of
time on the front porch. A cinch to recognize the physical appearance of
Moon Pies. Big and round are the key words here. You should marry
anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going
to be easy. You always have a big smile and are happy. This might be the
year to think about aerobics. Maybe not.
OKRA (April 21 - May 21) Are tough on the outside but tender on the
inside. Okras have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look back
over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. You can do
something good each day if you try.
CRAWFISH (May 22 - June 21) Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in
an office, you're hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the
beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, and the bathtub to
the living room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically,
but you have very, very good heads.
COLLARDS (June 22 - July 23) Collards have a genius for communication.
They love to get in the melting pot of life and share their essence with
the essence of those around them. Collards make good social workers,
psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal life goes,
if you are Collards, stay away from Crawfish. It just won't work. Save
yourself a lot of heartache.
CATFISH (July 24 - Aug 23) Catfish are traditionalists in matters of
the heart, although one's whiskers may cause problems for loved ones.
You Catfish are never easy people to understand. You run fast. You work
and play hard. Even though you prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear
surface of life, you are liked by most. Above all else, Catfish should
stay away from Moon Pies.
GRITS (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Your highest aim is to be with others like
yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits.
You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about joining a
club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese, gravy, bacon,
butter, or eggs and a good time. If you can go somewhere where they have
all these things, that serves you well. You are pure in heart.
BOILED PEANUTS (Sept 24 - Oct 23) You have a passionate desire to help
your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best, your friends
and loved ones, may find that your personality is much too salty, and
their criticism will affect you deeply because you are really much
softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you
want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road
of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for
you.
BUTTER BEAN (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Always invite a Butter Bean to a party
because Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter
Bean, should be proud. You've grown on the vine of life, and you feel at
home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However,
you, too, shouldn't have anything to do with Moon Pies.
ARMADILLO (Nov 23 - Dec 21) You have a tendency to develop a tough
exterior, but you are actually quite gentle and kind inside. A good
evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms, and
insects. You are a throwback. You're not concerned with today's fashions
and trends. You're not concerned with anything about today. You're
almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably
want to marry another Armadillo, but a Possum is another somewhat kinky
mating possibility.
people that read them. If we are to ever fully understand all the star
signs and the people they represent, we need symbols that all true
Southerners understand. See the list below...
POSSUM (Dec 22 - Jan 20)When confronted with life's difficulties,
possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a
don't-bother-me-about-it attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn,
people actually think you're dead. This strategy is probably not
psychologically healthy but seems to work for you. You are a rare breed.
Most folks love to watch you work and play. You are a night person and
mind your own business.
CHITLIN (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Chitlins come from humble backgrounds. A
Chitlin, however, will make something of himself if he is motivated and
has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful they may
surprise you. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with
Catfish and Okra.

When I set out...
When I started this blog.. I said I would try to post something everyday.. but alas.. my brain is mush after a long day at the office.. please enjoy the comic.. Ill be back on it tomorrow..

A better time..
Can anyone tell me at the exact moment when Sports became a business.. instead of a sport?? Id like to think it was when the AFL became the NFL and signed its life away to major networks to broadcast games.. I could be wrong.. I am told stories of when players played sports for the love of the game.. Wow what a concept.. Doing something you love, because you love doing it?? Impossible.. I have even heard stories of football players that went back to their normal jobs after their seasons ended.. Really?? You mean players havent always been paid millions of dollars from companies, just to say they like the crap they are selling?? Sports today are nothing more then a business.. Think about this.. whatever happened to the days when a college player declared themselves for the draft, a team like his performance.. and come draft day.. this team selects the player, and wants them to join their team, only to be told.. "If you draft me, Ill sit and wont play for you" Excuse me?? Eli Manning did this 3 years ago.. San Deigo has the first pick in the draft, they draft Eli, and then they trade him to the Giants to get Philip Rivers.. who by the way had a better season this year.. The Manning family felt Eli would make more money in New York.. you know contract, endorsments.. ect.. You can thank John Elway for this.. he actually did the samething.. later followed by Bo Jackson..And here I thought if a pro team wanted you.. you should be happy because you made it to the highest level of your chosen sport.. When did your abilities to play a sport earn you more money then people make to run the country? The president makes roughly last I saw about $300,000 a year.. and after he leaves office.. he is taken care of for the rest of his life.. if you add up the salary for a 4 year term.. and the pention he draws after he leaves office.. it still doesnt add up to a rookie's signing bonus.. Whatever happened to the days when a feild was named after a great person, not the highest bidding company?? We see how that worked out for Houston.. Remember Enron?? Have you ever watched interviews with players these days?? Most sound uneducated.. and the phrase "Ya know what Im sayin" comes way to often.. Well yeah I know what your sayin.. had you stayed in college, instead of looking for the fat signing bonus you might sound alittle more educated! I know its a tough choice to stay in school.. when you listen to Mel Kiper yelling about where you will go in the draft.. and then you factor in what happens if you get hurt.. well you could use that college degree to get a job?? I mean hell your there on a full ride scholarship.. where kids who cant play sports are stuck working 2 jobs, and their parents take out a second mortgage to give their kids the education you take for granted....
When will it end???
Well it seems that the circus known as Barry Bonds life is in the news yet again.. Im sorry but is anyone else but me tired of hearing about Barry Bonds?? Bonds makes headlines again today because he failed a drug test last season.. Really?? Oh my god, I just cant believe it.. PFFT! Bonds is the poster child for steroids in Baseball.. The only reason he and Jason Giambi werent in front of the Congress with their "brothers in steroids" is because they were involved in the Balco Case.. Im left wondering when Baseball will grow tired of all this negative attention and ACTUALLY do something about it.. You dont have to be a genuis to figure out Bonds is using something.. Answer me this.. if your not using any kind of performance enhancing drugs, or steroids.. how does your head grow 3 helmet sizes over the span of your career?? Every single player that has been named in Jose Canseco's book, has either retired I.E. Mark Mcguire and Sammy Sosa.. or have seen their stats drop out of sight.. along with their muscle mass.. Sadly enough.. during the baseball season.. ESPN has Bonds on sportscenter building him up like a god, because he is closing in on the all time homerun record.. he passed Babe Ruth this year.. and will most likely pass Hank Aaron next season.. Im sorry but if Baseball allows this to happen... Then they dont care about the history of this game..

Very Very Cool...
This link ended up on the "Dallas Crew" group page.. Thanks Richie.. Ya know.. if you told me that I would be watching the Simpsons with my kids.. I would have said your crazy.. 2 Reasons.. 1. I never thought I would find a woman that would put up with me, and never thought I would have kids.. 2. Who ever thought that a cartoon that started out as a "short" on the Tracy Ullman show would still be around 15+ years later.. and still turning out new episodes every Sunday? Enjoy this picture.. and check out the link below.. so this artist some love :)

Draft Guru? I think not
Anyone who watchs ESPN.. knows who this is.. This is ESPN's very own Mel Kiper Jr.. Self proclaimed college draft expert.. Riiiight!!! We will get to that in a second.. The reason I am bringing this post to light today is because a buddy of mine sent me a question Mel was asked on his webpage.. Anthony (NYC): Mel with the Senior Bowl and the combines coming up does that give Troy Smith a chance raise his stock up again after his performance on Monday.
Mel Kiper: (1:26 PM ET ) It does, and the game did not fall solely on Troy Smith, their O line must take a lot of blame. i think that effected Smith a lot, and that lack of ideal height showed up. And his longer delivery showed up when the heat was put on by the Florida D. So now I think he may drop to the 3rd or 4th round. Remember he did not have a super high grade going into this game. So yes he needs to reestablish himself before the draft.
Wow Mel.. thats kinda vague dont you think?? But of course with your vague draft board.. you can still save face in the eyes of your ESPN coworkers.. Wouldnt want anyone to figure out your full of crap.. I think my biggest problem with Kiper.. is that he blasts on teams who dont take his scouting on a player.. My buddy that brought this to my attention, also brought up this intresting point..
-All you need to know about mel kiper is 2 years ago when he yelled for 2 straight months about how mike williams was the best player in the draft, and after every pick (until #10) he said how teams were stupid for passing on him. 2 years later he is on the verge of being cut (BY DETROIT!!!) and has 2 career touchdowns.... great talent evaluation mel...
We in Dallas know where to go when we want the truth about the draft.. Rick "Goose" Gosselin...
Here are someother links for your reading pleasure.. to support this theory.. that Mel Kiper is full of it.. :)

Ah the things we do for our teams!! Enjoy :)

A fathers worst nightmare!
At some point over the years from when I was a kid, until the time I grew up and became a father.. I must have missed this fashion trend.. While shopping over the Christmas holidays with my wife and mother-in-law at a mall near our house.. My daughter
The Bat..
My mother-in-law.. aka Bat.. added me to her blog tonight.. this is what she had to say..
Ok, just when I’m ready to head off to la la land, I get an email from the ick in law telling me he’s started his own blog. Now, there are sports fan, there are sports fanatics and then there is the sports lunatic. He falls into the latter category.
So, go see what he’s babbling about at The Bare Nessecities (yep, spelled wrong on purpose…the brat did it!)
2 points here..
1. The spelling has been corrected.. We did not notice it was spelled wrong until she pointed it out so :P
2. I am a sports lunatic.. and proud of it!!! My blog will not be all sports related.. it has just kinda worked out that way!!!
Thanks Bat for the add.. and thanks for letting the whole world know that Im a Sports Lunatic!!! You say this like its a bad thing?? :)
We did not win the good fight tonight!
Me doing what I love to do.. I wish I could say that my team won the good fight tonight.. but the team we bowled are alot of fun.. so its not to bad losing all 4 games.. Much props to Robert! He shot 670 tonight!!! Damn Sandbagger!!! :) Just for the record.. I shot 701.. 260/229/212.. This picture was also a strike btw!!!

The disc gods smiled this day..
This is my buddy from Houston Lance.. Known this cat about 15 years easy.. Him and my other buddy Brayton introduced me to this crazy game called disc golf.. aka "stoner golf".. you figure it out.. .. They injected the plastic into my veins as they like to say .. This is hole number 8 on a course in Houston called Agnes Moffit Park.. This is a 217 foot hole from the short tee.. My buddy lance who has been playing for about 3 years.. has dreamed of a "hole in one".. and has come close several times.. Couple of them have hit the chains.. a few have even skimmed the top of the basket.. only to land mere inches from the basket.. Not on this day! Lance aced this hole after throwing 8 horrible practice shots during practice before league.. Not only did he ace this hole..but he proceded to shoot a 60 for the day.. Did I mention that he did this with a frisbee? I would like to think that after this basket was signed, and Lance posed for this picture.. Brayton, Lance, and Herb conducted what they call a "Saftey Meeting" Congrats Lance!! You sir.. Are the man!!!National Championship 2005
This was the scene last year, as Vince Young produced one of the greatest performances in the history of college football.. Not only did he will the Longhorns to their 4th National Title in school history.. But the Longhorns beat ESPN's "Greatest College Team" of all time...
Hot Sports Opinions
This is something that I posted on the "Dallas Crews" website last night.. and thought it was so good.. that I would post it here.. :) Enjoy....
Keep in mind when you read this, the H.S.O's you will be reading are merely mine.. so please enjoy..
Last night hurt.. it was like someone ripped our blue and silver hearts out, spiked it like a touchdown celebration.. and stomped on it until it stopped beating.. But alas.. as I see it.. we as Cowboy fans do take some bright points to next season.. Once again.. these are merely my H.S.O's
1. We have our starting quarterback in place.. Yes Romo did play like a rookie at the worst possible time down the stretch.. But how many games did we watch him avoid a sack? How many times did we watch him scramble out of the pocket to avoid pressure and make a play? How many times did we watch him pick a ball up off the ground and make a play? Drew Bledsoe may be the 5th all time passing yards quarterback in NFL history.. but lets face it.. Bledsoe could not have done that, at any given time in his career..
2. Our first round draft pick this year is finally out on the field.. Carpenter looked good last night, and may not be as big a bust as once projected..
3. Our Offensive line stayed healthy.. They did allow Bledsoe to take a pounding.. but they pulled together and were out on the field as a unit week in and week out.. Also they are no longer the weakest link on this team..
4. Greg Ellis made his position change.. And after he got hurt.. we can really see how much the pass rush suffered... Ware is only one Manbeast!
5. Demarcus Ware will be here next year.. Need I say More??
6. I am in no way shape or form defending T.O. but he did lead the league in TD's, he also had over 1000 yrd receiving... Yes he did lead the league in dropped passes.. but he was also the most thrown to receiver this year in the leauge.. Next year in training camp.. maybe he will refrain from putting on the Team Discovery cycling outfit.. and get on the field and develop some timing with his QB, and learn to run some better routes.. Yes I said next year.. because lets face it. Jones will look at the numbers, and his performance.. and he will bring him back.. Jones has already stated "I want him back" T.O has already stated he wants to come back.. and yes ladies and gentlemen.. The New Jersey Con Man will be back next year as well.. The Tuna finally has his team in place.. and he likes this team.. He has said many times in various press confrences that this is the best team he has had.. since he has been in Dallas..
7. Adams looked good after coming off major knee surgery...
8. I would like to hope that Roy Williams goes out to his local Half Price Book in the off season, and picks up a copy of "Deep Coverage for Dummies" because lets face it.. he may be the hardest hitting person in the league.. and may be the second coming of Ronnie Lott.. but he is begining to look like a "struck match" from being burnt several times in deep coverage this year..
If memory serves correct... our own group sports guru, or as I like to call him Yoda projected the Cowboys to go to the playoffs this year.. so I tip my hat to you Yoda.. Im sure that in the off season we will set up our own war room and watch the draft.. unless he has to be an "arm charm" again for a wedding.. We will sit back and drink some good whiskey, smoke a good cigar.. and point and laugh at teams, while they seek out the Combine Warriors to ink to mulitmillion dollar contracts.. This years draft gave us such picks as The Texans drafting Mario Williams to a 6 year 54 million dollar deal.. and the sad thing about this pick is that he wasnt even the best defensive player on his team in college.. and that Bobby Carpenter was only out on the field for a handful of games this year.. and he out performed Mario Williams.. who started every game.. We saw Reggie Bush fall into New Orleans lap.. Merry Christmas New Orleans.. man what a team they put together in the off season. and they really got a sleeper pick in the 6th round with Colston.. Wow.. that kid can play.. We saw Matt Lienart drop like a rock in the draft, while Denver trades up to pick Jay Cutler ..How did your Combine Warrior work out for you this year?? We heard the ESPN experts.. oh sorry.. I actually chuckled when I typed that make such comments before the season started as "Is he smart enough to run an offense in the NFL" "His passing mechanics wont work in the NFL" "Matt Leinart will be the only quaterback in this years draft to make an immediate impact on the NFL" Well Mr Salsbury.. just like your less then steller career in the NFL.. Matt Lienart was a losing quarterback this year.. and the 2-3 year project as you called him won rookie of the year.. Yes ladies and gentleman.. I am refering to Mr Clutch.. Mr Rosebowl.. Mr Vince Young. Young led the Titans to how many wins in a row down the stretch? Passed for over 2200 yrds, 12 TD and 13 INT's.. and I forget how many rushing TD's.. Went down to Houston.. a team that could have picked him.. but sunk a bunch of money into David Carr.. Young took his Titans down the field, and finished the Texans off in overtime with a 39 yard scramble to glory to win the game.. as only Young can do.. I would like to think that when Young crossed the goalline.. He was thinking "Damn.. You could have had all this.. by the way.. how is your number 1 draft pick workin out for you this season BITCH!" So to all the Vince Young skeptics out there in the media, and world wide I say to you "GOOD DAY"! Young has proven himself to not only be a solid draft pick with unlimited upside.. but he also prolly single handly saved Jeff Fishers job.. and brought new hope to a fading organization! This has been a wild year in the NFL..
GO COWBOYS in O7!
