I know I'm going to catch a ton of heat for a whining, alcohol-assisted tirade based on pure emotion, but I'm done with our gutless quarterback. How many big games has he folded like a chump - how many big games has he single-handedly lost?

He has magnificent statistics, but I'm sorry, they're hollow. When time comes for men to rise above, Tony chokes. I'm sure he will put up great numbers for the rest of the season, but I'm sick and tired of defending this dopey, happy-go-lucky nitwit.

Would someone put up stats for Tony in your standard, vanilla games vs. games that have meaning or really count? I'll bet it'll even shut Terry up. Again, I'm sorry for this guys, I just feel like kicking something and my fiance will fight back. And win.

There must be a way to get this poor excuse for a pundit canned from BSPN. His ridiculous tabloid coverage of the Cowboys needs to stop! If I hear one more asinine Romo/TO, Romo/Jessica, Romo/bottom-heavy -- anything regarding him talking about Romo not related directly to football, I'm going to scream! I try to watch as little ESPN as possible, but when I see the star on the TV I turn the volume up.

Any ideas for a grass-roots campaign to get Werder off the air? Abusive signs behind him while he's on-air, heckling, letters to the Mothership, signing him up on the NAMBLA mailing list... anyone?

I try my hardest to put aside what we lost to get McCarthy. I remember being at my tramp ex-girlfriend's house, sitting on my wi-fi, the moment lonestarball.com reported Jonboy Daniels was trading John Danks for Brandon McCarthy. I had been 100% on board with the rebuilding through draft concept, and was ready to give them 3 years of leeway, as long as they stuck to the plan. But I digress...

 Is Brandon McCarthy a good pitcher who just suffers the occasional lapse - one that will get things straight and stop making those 1-2 BP pitches per 3 innings? Or is he just a strikingly average MLB pitcher who says the right things but simply doesn't have what it takes to excel in the MLB? I'm already reserved to the fact that he will never, in a million years, be John Danks. He will never be a #1 starter and an all-star. He will never make Jon Buffoon Daniels truly proud of his trade decision. But will he at least be a decent #4 starter on an excellent rotation?

When McCarthy first came to the Rangers, he did an interview with GAC, where he pronounced himself as a "sleep all morning" kind of guy who woke up 30 minutes before he had to be at the park. Is he like that anymore? He says the right things now, namely that he occaionally makes "awful, awful pitch(es)", and that his high pitch totals are unacceptable, but does he do anything about it? Is he working on his weak mechanics? The leverage he should get with his long legs should be immense, and yet he pussyfoots down the mound.

Final question: How long before Derek Holland surplants him?

If that's true, he should watch himself the next time he considers traveling to the DFW metroplex. A washed-up, limp wristed piss poor excuse for a back-up QB who couldn't throw a spiral, much one 20 yards, was the one ratting out the Cowboys problems to Ed Worthless?

And can anyone here believe Tim McMahon actually addresses Werder as "one of the best reporters covering the NFL"? Granted, ESPN's level of quality has severely dimished over the years, and is now little more than Sports Tabloid Television, but to call the biggest rumor-milling, anonymous source using hacks covering the pro circuit "one of the best" is a sad, pathetic notion.

I wish the Cowboys would go into lockdown mode like they did with Big Bill and Jimmy Johnson. Tell the children to STFU and do their jobs.

Brad Freakin' Johnson...

1.  (From the standpoint of a die-hard, blue Cool-aid drinking Cowboy fan). Jerry Jones must have gotten an organizational psychologist on the payroll before the draft, because he has served notice to all players that their job is up for grabs. Romo, Folk, Ellis, anyone and everyone who had bad seasons and contributed to the most disappointing season in team history is not assured of a job next year.

The "carpet-bomb" approach brought in players who all share a common theme: locker room, high character players - many of them were team captains in college. The new "dirty dozen" will band together during minicamp, push each other to be the best they can be, and make this team better.

2. (From the standpoint of a die-hard Cowboys fan who has seen what years of Jerry Jones incompetence has done to a once-great franchise). Hello 1996 draft all over again. None of these clowns will be in the NFL in 3 years.

So, what do you think?

Apparently the other day at Markus Spear's birthday party at Buddha 9, a swanky restaurant/night club in Downtown Dallas, our favorite moron, Pacman Jones, showed up uninvited with a bag full of $1 bills and tried to make it rain, much to the ire of those NFL players around him.

Is there anyone still out there who cares to defend this piece of garbage?

http://www.examiner.com/x-850-Dallas-Cowboys-Examiner~y2009m3d12-Pacman-Jones-makes-it-rain-money

I don't know how to set up a poll (if anyone could help me I'd be appreciative). I'm very curious as to what Owens would fetch in a trade. A soon-to-be 36 year old receiver, who has trouble getting off the line, who if you take away his Seattle performance has averaged 50 yards per game over the last 20 games. But he's T.O., and some people love him.  

I'll start out the bidding at Owens and a fourth-round pick for a mid-first round pick. Any takers? Is Al Davis that stupid?

I knew that would get your attention. I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan, and I instinctively hate all of you as much as you hate me. I hate you for cheering Michael Irvin as he lay paralyzed on the Veterans turf. I hate you for the Bounty Bowl. I hate you for throwing batteries at Jimmy Johnson. And I hate you because your team has handed my team it's ass more times than not lately.

But I hate this Dallas Cowboys team more than I hate you and your team. I simply dispise them. I hate the fact that while other teams galvanize through adversity, this team wilted. I hate that the media follows them around all the time. I hate the name Jessica Simpson, and the fact that this team is more suited for the tabloids than the sports page. I hate our bumbling, Bennie Hill looking coach and the red headed idiot standing beside him. And oh goodness yes, I hate Jerry Jones. Maybe more than any of you do.

This game was destined to be a war, and this team didn't even bother to give you a fight. My team was treated worse than Jodie Foster in The Accused. Actually Jodie Foster put up a fight if I recall.

To quote Silky Johnston at the Player Hater's Ball on Chapelle's Show, "I hate you and hope all the bad things in the world happen to you and you alone". But I hate my Dallas Cowboys, from the top down, even more.

I didn't think the pain of last week's game against the Ravens could be duplicated this week. How naive I was. And how deeply I hate this Cowboys team that just disgraced the uniforms they were wearing today.

It's hard to discern anything positive after today's loss, besides the fact that Jerry will DEFINITELY have to do some serious reorganizing in the off season. No more Wade, maybe no more Garrett, definitely no more T.O., Pacman or Tank Johnson. What player not named Witten or Choice even showed up to play?

Wade Phillips couldn't motivate a person on fire to jump in a river. If he wants to be an assistant in a new regime, consider it. Jason Garrett is no more ready to coach than me. Brian Stewart should find a new field in which to work.

Tony Romo is the kind of guy you'd love to have a beer with. But he just isn't the answer right now. I've never seen a quarterback with such a weak psyche not named Vince Young. Down two touchdowns, he sat by himself on the bench, sulking like a little girl. What a leader. Meanwhile, our ghetto fabulous wide receivers chive each other and curse him from across the sidelines. Could ANY COACH show some balls and stop that kind of high school behavior? Not on Wade's watch.

This was an unlucky season, to be sure. We lost too many players to play to our full abilities, but showed absolutely no fight when things got tough. There is no leadership from the top down.

The real solution for a Cowboys Super Bowl: Jerry Jones admitting his incompetence and hiring a real GM. He's great at hoarding draft picks, but the team he's put together is gutless, brainless, and soulless. I know that won't happen, though, and the biggest team in professional sports will descend further into embarassment.

I'm not from the Bill Walton school of hyperbole, but can anyone remember a more crushing defeat at such an important time? Texas Stadium and all the triumphant memories it has seen did not deserve to go out in such a fashion. I've never felt physically ill in my 26 years of watching the Cowboys, but Saturday night, I literally had to fight off vomitting.

Our defense played stellar except for the last two plays a Cowboys defense, with the memories of Doomsday, the Jimster 4-3, Campo's great days thrown to the wind.

Our offensive line played like a bunch of mentally handicapped fat-%sses. Just ridiculous.

Tony Romo is, at this moment, not the man. For him to revert to his idiotic, bonehead up-for-grabs self in such an important game tells me he's the Dirk Nowitzki of football. He puts  up great numbers but chokes like a gutless turd when it really counts. It took Manning, Elway, etc years to finally make it all come together, and I have faith in the future, but Romo is simply not what he needs to be.

I hope we make the playoffs because anything can happen, but I will not morn this team if it lays an egg on Sunday against the Eagles. In fact I'd say Philly by 8.

TO is on the back quarter of his career - he's 35 after all - and isn't the franchise receiver he was a few years ago, but JJT's borderline ridiculous article on TO that came out Sunday morning - just a few hours before TO lit up the 49ers for over 200 yards receiving. And how does he follow that up? Not with a humble "I underestimated a great player" or "one last shining day on a very bright career", but instead he mocked Owens' tongue-in-cheek "they unleashed me" comment and ripped Singletary a new one for not jamming Owens at the line of scrimmage. That is the mark of a sore loser, especially one who bet against his own home team.

Singletary's decision to back the corners off Cowboys receivers was curious to say the least, but I attribute that in part to the integration of RW11 in the offense. He hasn't put up any gawdy numbers yet, but is there a defensive coordinator that didn't cringe when he heard of that trade?

JJT, you had a chance to make a laugher out of this situation at your expense, and don't forget you're nothing more than a local sports writer occasionally put on ESPN when Stephen A Smith runs out of Ricolah. But instead you took the sour grapes approach to your dismissive article, and I hope that crow tastes horrible.

Can anyone here believe it's only been 10 days since we lost to the Giants? How low our morale was after that pitiful excuse for an effort. The Cowboys limped into a bye week needing it more than any team in the league. I feel like I as a fan needed a bye week to phase out all the Jerry-induced media hooplah, the second-guessers who said Romo was a choke-artist, Jason Garrett wasn't yet a great coordinator, and that this defense was soft (granted, I was one of those who judged the defense). I was flying back from Napa Valley (please don't judge me, I'm all man) when the Cowboys played the 'Skins the first time this year, and was flabergasted when I saw the score in the 2nd quarter while waiting for my flight in San Francisco (seeing Candlestick made my skin crawl, that bastard Dwight Clark). Since before that trip I haven't seen the Cowboys that were wildly exceeding my drunk off Cool-Aid expectations, but now I'm ready to believe again.

Believe in Romo (shout out to Terry). Believe in The Red Ball Express. Believe in the southern Bennie Hill that is our head coach. Believe in the 3-4. Believe in TO & RW11 as the best receiving duo in the NFL. Believe in a playoff run.

I'm ready for this team to turn things around and slap the media right in the face. Everyone was on the Cowboys bandwagon 6 weeks ago and everyone is against the Cowboys now. Except for us as fans. I want ESPN, the Iconic Idiot Ed Werder, the Sportingnews, Dr Zero, et all to eat crow and ask for seconds.

It's time to live up to our potential and get that sixth ring. No excuses, no looking back.

Rant over.

Does anyone remember the Dave Campo era and the preceeding years? The time where we made ridiculous attempts to justify 5-11 seasons but ran out of excuses for horrible drafts, pathetic trades, and ludicrious playcalling? Many of us painfully acknolwedged that the Cowboys would never win another Super Bowl as long as Jerry Jones was owner. Then Jones seemingly acknowledged his own incompetence,  "grew a brain", and hired Bill Parcells, and it all turned around.. or did it?

How long did it take before Jerry and Parcells began to argue behind closed doors? A few months? A year? Two years? Parcells had carte blanche when it came to "buying the groceries" until JJ broke the deal and signed the anti-Parcells, Terrell Owens. I'm not saying Owens hasn't played well, but the meddling know-it-all that Jerry Jones has always been finally showed it's meddlesome spirit again. And Bill was gone a year later.

Fast forward two years, and the Cowboys are a team that will likely go nowhere this year. Attribute it to the injury bug if you like, but the Cowboys misfortunes run far deeper than that.

The Dallas Cowboys are a STUPID, UNDISCIPLINED bunch of whiners who fold when the pressure is on. Look no further than the second half of yesterday's game. Our second string quarterback provided us with perhaps the worst quarterback play the NFL has ever seen. This team has no leadership and abslolutely no identity. Do you want to see a team with a strong identity, and a sense of unity? Watch the team wearing blue in yesterday's game. They have bought into a system and are a machine as a result.

How far the descrepancies are between the two teams that played yesterday. Our coach is an empty sweatsuit, Jason Garrett is no more ready to be a head coach I am, and worst of all, there's not a single solid NFL coach (Bill Cowher) that woulld EVER work for the meddlesome, incompetent, egotistical General Manager that is Jerry Jones.

I pray I'm wrong, and that Romo's boyish smille returns with his golden arm and saves the season, but the Cowboys still have a soft, gutless defense, a borderline inept special teams unit, and worst of all, are STUPID and UNDISCIPLINED. SIX DEFENSIVE PENALTIES IN THE FIRST HALF?!

Rant over. Feel free to butcher this post or pump sunshine where there obviously is none. Just let me know when Jerry Jones gets run out of town so I can start hoping for a championship again.

What a soft, gutless excuse for a cornerback. Did anyone see him stand like a high school freshman and watch Derek Ward jog into the end zone? His interception against the Giants was pure luck - had Manning seen the play right it would have gone for 20+ yards. How about the dozens of times Jenkins whiffs in coverage? Anyone wonder why he's being played 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage? Because he's a piece of toast waiting to be burned.

I thank goodness we picked up Scandrick; he looks like a player. But Jenkins should be relegated behind Alan Ball until he shows some sign of competence.

Ed Werder never ruined a good story with facts to back it up. Sorry, Ed, but Turk the assistant's assistant doesn't count as a credible source, nor does what you think you thought you heard while hanging out in the locker room. He draws ridiculous conclusions from ambiguous statements and rushes as quickly as possible to upload it to the bloated, inaccurate mothership that is ESPN. 

Thank God for BTB (no butt kissing intended). Grizz, Tuna Helper, and Brandon aren't in it for a promotion in Bristol, just an innate love of America's Team.

I (despite the angry pleas of my girfriend) watched the Cleveland game a couple of times yesterday, and yes, the Cowboys were clearly the better football team on that day. But Cleveland shot themelves in the foot multiple times, stalling drives and helping the Cowboys continue theirs. Had Braylon Edwards been 100%, he would have had a monster game. He dropped a gimme touchdown pass and several others.

The Cowboys, now that Babymaker Brady is out for the season, are the team to beat in the NFL. But in terms of intangibles, they have unreal expectations to face and have an enormous target painted on them thanks to Hard Knocks and the media circus that has followed them. The Eagles game will be an interesting test. I still predict 13-3 and a deep playoff run, but this ain't gonna be easy!!

Yes, Terry, In Romo We Trust!!

Hint 1: Doesn't understand the concept of the caps button

Hint 2: Actually creates user accounts on opposing teams blogsites to try to stir up an argument.

Hint 3: No concept of grammar

Hint 4: Whines like a little girl when his team loses in stunning fashion.

Never mind they already have a ring and nothing to prove, this little douchebag just can't take it when things don't go his way. Personally, I have a life and a job, meaning I don't have time to create usernames just so I can insult people.

It's kind of funny reading how the Cowboys are facing a "brutal NFL schedule" this year, and that Romo is already being put under the spotlight as a result.

Can anyone here remember an NFL season since the salary cap came into being where over half the "tough" teams actually turned out to have good seasons? The Cowboys are one Romo/TO injury away from facing mediocrity. Remember how much the Rams sucked last year, in a year when they were supposed to be so amazing? On the flip side, where the hell did the Saints come from 2 years ago and what happened last year?

I think the NFL above all professional sports illustrates that anything can happen (don't mutter "any given Sunday", it reminds me of that GAWD AWFUL MOVIE) when you play the game. Maybe that's one reason I love this game so much. Your team only plays 16 (plus playoffs) times in an entire year, and anything can happen?

As you can tell, I've had no coffee this morning...

I heard a nasty rumor about the Rangers pursuing CC Sabithina, and a hint the Rangers brass believes they have something special this year and may make a run for the playoffs. DO TOM HICKS & JON DANIELS HATE US AS RANGERS FANS?!?!?!

I've been a Rangers fan since 1980, and only this year have I become accustomed to the notion of building for a better future in a couple of years. These Rangers have been a pleasure to watch the last couple of months, but are in no way ready to make a playoff run. Say the improbable happens and they overtake the Angels or get a wild card seat. Then what? You have a team full of young, inexperienced players who will likely flame out when the pressure of the post season begins. I believe in this bunch, but not yet. Josh Hamilton is hitting a wall, Chris Davis is still in his second week as a major leaguer, and our pitching staff has been in a state of flux all year.

Tom Hicks is among the worst owners in baseball, and despite some good work in the last 12 months, Jon Daniels has one of the worst track records in the majors. The last time he tried to get cute and stray from the rebuilding path, we got Brandon "I love the training room" McCarthy in exchange for John "I'm a front line starter for the next 12 years" Danks.

Tom & Jon, you've started something that may be special in two years. Don't screw it up now!!!

I love me some Cricket (i.e. Deon Anderson), but can anyone name a better pure blocking fullback since Moose Johnston than Lorenzo Neal? At 37 he's in great shape and would consistently lock down one defender every run play. Emmitt owes a great deal to Moose, because Johnston would secure one defender and leave only one for Emmitt to get by, which he almost always did.

Felix Jones would would benefit greatly from Neal's presence; just one cut and he's off to the races. Barber's runs wouldn't be so entertaining because instead of stiff-arming 6 players, he'd only have 5 to put down (the B.S. "Marion Barber Rule" may hinder his barbarity). I'd say Julius Jones could have benefitted from a lockdown fullback, but he always seemed to trip over the hashmarks or a piece of hot dog wrapper that blew onto the field, the guy ran like an obese opera singer... but I digress. Give Cricket some time to season and bring in a perrenial All-Pro fullback on the cheap!!
