Lovin me some Brooking

When Dallas first signed Brooking I was skeptical! Thinking maybe he lost a step, why else would the Falcons let go him after last year! This guy was born to be a Cowboy! Reminds me of Jack Del Rio. Leads the team in tackles with 37 solo 29. That stuff on 4th down against Denver brought me out of my seat! He has my vote for the pro bowl already. Not to mention he is becoming the leader on D. Something Zach Thomas couldn't even sniff last year! Don't even get me started on Ratliff. Now all we got to do is work on our two minute Defense!!!

Tony Romo = Danny White

I was listening awhile back to one of our local sports radio show, when the co-host mentioned that Tony Romo was the second coming of Danny White. I had told my buddies the exact same thing after the season ended 44-6. As I reflected on the this past season (I was a pre-teen when White played), I can remember being frustrated with my Cowboys only one other time. That my fellow Cowboy fans would be the Danny White era.

So I wanted to see how the stats added up. Ok before anyone says "different eras, different teams" we are a stats driven society. Hey that's why we keep track of them, right?

So I took White's first three seasons as a starter and Romo's first three seasons. With Romo's injuries and White's '82 strike season, the games are about even.

G	GS	Win-loss	Cmp	Att	Cmp%	Yards	TD	INT	QB Rating
TR 45	39	27-12-0	831	1307	63.6	10562	81	46	94.7

DW 41	40	29-11	639	1074	60	8464	66	50	86.4

Not a big suprise in any catagory. About what I expected.

I remember thinking while watching DW play was wow he is breaking ever Cowboy QB record! He was our Punter!! Racking up regular season game win one after another. Winning 12 games, making the playoffs he first season at QB1. Thinking we found our savior after Roger Staubach. Now think about it. Romo un-drafted, thrid string, going 6-4 making the playoffs first year at QB1.

But the difference is DW won his first 2 playoff games. Hell he went 5-3! Romo is the hole 0-2.

I don't think it's far fetched to believe that Romo is the second coming of DW. My humble opinion is that as long as we have a celebrity QB in Dallas we will not get back to the Super Bowl. I do hope TR isn't the celebrity QB he turned into, but the QB out of a divison II who no one wanted to draft and was out to prove everyone wrong.

Sick, just sick

I hope there is no truth to this article. This just makes me sick. So I guess tough Wade didn't show up until yeasterday. Mike Shanahan is available, all he did for the Broncos was win two Super Bowls. I hope the Lions do hire Garrett, maybe he takes Wade with him. Some one please slap some sense in Jerry
