Cowboy Nation

Remember this day Cowboy fans, October 14, 2008.  Today changes everything.  After the heartbreaking loss to the Cardinals, and a disappointing break of the most famous pinky finger in the world, there is hope.  Two days later, Jerry Jones to the rescue.  I’m here to tell you Nation, both of today’s headlines will change the path to the Super Bowl.

Headline #1 Roy Freaking Williams

 Roy Williams, not #38, but the Detroit Lions #1 receiver, is now a Cowboy.  This is great!  Fantastic news, imagine if you will, the closest player in build to Michael Irvin.  His potential is phenomenal.  This is a game breaker for the Cowboys.  Jerry Jones has made a statement that NOW, not later, not next year, but NOW is the time for a Super Bowl.  Grant it, this will take some time.  Roy needs to learn the offense, and Tony needs to get healthy.  But once they are both on the field and can gel, this great offense will explode.  We now have two excellent running backs, one incredible tight end, and two top receivers.  We have an offensive line that did falter in the desert, but is resilient.  They will tighten up.  I know they feel responsible for what happened to Tony Romo, this will not happen to Brad Johnson.  What more can a QB ask for?  Even the great Brett Favre, called Tony Romo today, urging him to play on.  But more on that later.

Headline #2  Sack Pacman

Adam Jones suspended.  Enough said.  Great, Grand, Wonderful!  Was this guy worth it?  NO.  Did he live up to the hype in 6 games?  Hell NO!  The Cowboys actually handled Pacman like the arcade game, they had four “ghost” like bodyguards following him around.  I guess the power pellets were strip clubs, or places with alcohol. He would eat these power pellets, and the ghosts would scatter from his fierce horseplay.   This guy was not worth the trouble Nation.  Flat out not worth the trouble.  Orlando Scandrick, and Mike Jenkins have actually looked better on the field, and they’re rookies.  Rookies ladies and gentlemen.  This is the right move for Roger Goodell.  The Cowboys should follow suit and release him from the roster all together.  This kid, and that’s exactly what he is, a punk kid, needs to move on.  He has wasted Deion Sander’s time.  He has wasted Michael Irvin’s time.  Even the “Ghosts” that were hired by the Cowboys to protect him, to watch him, fired!  Pacman has lived up to his reputation, and that reputation has no place on a 1^st rate, classy organization like the Dallas Cowboys.  Please Pacman, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Now back to the most famous Pinky finger in the free world.  Tony Romo’s long time football hero, Brett Favre called him as Romo entered his doctor’s office on Tuesday. Favre urged Tony to play through the pain, and carry the team on his back.   Brett Favre has played through many injuries throughout his long career, so he knows what it’s like playing through pain.  But do we really want TR to go out there and continue his turnover party and possibly risk further injury?  Brett Favre’s intentions are good, I think.  But Coach Phillips has already ruled Tony out for the next three games.  Here’s the odd thing, TR was out attempting to throw the ball in practice on Wednesday.  Is he going to listen?  Will the temptation of having TO and Roy Williams out on the field at the same time be too much to ignore?  Favre knows how highly Tony thinks of him.  He’s read the reports.  He is using this bad advice to try and throw a monkey wrench in the high octane cog that is the Cowboy Offense.  Don’t do it Tony.  We all remember the boring soap opera Favre forced all football fans through this summer.  The guy doesn’t even know how to retire.  Brett, and I say this with all do respect, Shut up.  Worry about the Jets, worry about making the playoff, which you won’t.  TR needs to get his head straight.  He needs to refocus.  He doesn’t need to listen to a guy who’s old team didn’t even think he was worth the price of admission.  See: Adam Rodgers.
