A lot of thoughts went through my head as Lawrence Tynes lined up for the game-winning 37 yard field-goal last night. I though about how the Cowboys had turned the ball over four times to the Giants zero, yet they still led with 4 seconds on the clock. I thought about the sheer buffoonery, gluttony, and excess that is Cowboys Stadium. I thought about that 1.5 million pound screen being suspended over the football field and how it should be the scariest thing ever considering the tragedy that occurred earlier in the summer at a Cowboys facility. But none of these was the dominant thought in my mind as certain defeat loomed over America’s team. With 4 seconds left and the Giants on the verge of ruining the opening of the greatest venue in sports history I realized why I felt uneasy the entire game. I realized then, why I had a sneaky suspicion that fate was not on the Cowboys’ side. The ‘Boys were doomed from the coin toss. George W. Bush was given the esteemed honor of tossing the first coin in Cowboy’s Stadium regular season history. Jerry Jones let George W. Bush christen what was supposed to be one of the greatest triumphs in Dallas history. I’m not a superstitious man, but every thing George Bush touches turns into a grammatically incorrect mess. But it is neither analytical or politically correct (no pun intended) to blame George Bush for a Cowboys loss. That would be like blaming Bill Parcells North Korea’s development of nucular technology. So let’s break this thing down into a few key components.
