If the Dallas Cowboys Lose to 0-2 Carolina Panthers on Monday Night...

TexasCowboy — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:50:49 -0400

Then I say pack up the tents and call it a season...think I am joking? There is no smile to my face that would indicate I am joking. This is as serious as it gets. Last week's game was the ultimate let down if you are a Cowboys fan.

Three turnovers, one fluke, NO sacks, and a secondary that should be renamed burnt toast. If this is what we are in for all year, then just call in Dandy Don now to start singing turn out the lights.

Or this team can pull a complete 360 and shock the hell out of everyone and win, but it must be in convince-able fashion. To win by a point would not be suffice, not after the screw job they gave them selves last Monday night at home.

This must be a total blowout in order for them to redeem themselves. If not then to expect them to win more than four to six games would be foolish.

The Headline: Romo and Jerry Jones Ruin Cowboys' Beautiful Setting

TexasCowboy — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:41:03 -0400

You can't have one without the other, so why lump Jerry Jones in to this? Because even though Jerry does not actually suit up and play. All this mess goes back to the start of the 2009 offseason. When Jackass started making cuts to the roster, traded away a better corner for a bum back up. Then pissed away a entire draft, with the exception of 3 players who are actually worth a damn.

Think I am done tearing them a part? Not by a long shot folks, I aint done yet, because No real screw up could ever be 100% complete. Unless Mr wonderful Tony Romo didn't show us his balancing act, 3 Int's and one fluke off Wittens foot.

No pass rush, no ability to stop the pass, ladies and gentleman I give you The Greatest Jokes On Turf, Your 2009 Dallas Cowboys

Thanks for ruining the new stadium CLOWNS

The NFL Hall-of-Fame Fixed One Mistake, Now It's Time They Fixed the Other

TexasCowboy — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:00:27 -0400

It took the NFL Hall-of-Fame, what seemed like, decades to erase a long overdue mistake, now it's time for them to erase another long overdue mistake...the induction of Drew Pearson into the Hall-of-Fame.

Like Bob Hayes, Pearson has not been without his troubles, but his numbers alone put him ahead of Lynn Swann as the best receiver during the 70's. That in itself should be enough to get this guy into Canton, Ohio.

But sadly, it hasn't.

Pearson like Hayes has been repeatedly snubbed from his rightful place inthe Hall-of-Fame.

Don't wait until he is gone before you induct him. Don't do to him what you did to Hayes and rob him and his family of their chance to see him stand up there and take his rightful place among all of the other Dallas Cowboys' all-time greats, who have gone in ahead of him.

Let the man have his place, he certainly deserves it.

Filthadelphia has sunk even lower

TexasCowboy — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:55:12 -0400

Philthadelphia, PA, is known for a lot of things; the liberty bell, drunk low-life alcoholic fans, and now dog-killer Michael Vick.

Like those other things were not bad enough already. Adding a dog-killer to the roster does not help your reputation, especially when that reputation is all ready floating around in the toilet. Like the turd that won't ever sink.

So, yes, Vick is officially a part of the societies toilet. where he fits in with all the other members of society misfits, who share something in common with Vick,they have all seen the inside of a jail cell at one point in their life

The signing was a two-year deal worth $1 million and then $5 million the second year. In addition to all this, It would only be appropriate for the league to officially change their team name.

Since they can no longer be called the Eagles, since a dog torturing killer is on their roster. So how is this for a new name: the Filthadelphia dog killers? Only fitting wouldn't you say?

I am sure members of the ASPCA, Peta, Dog trust formerly National Canine Defence League and other animal rights groups would agree to this name change,

I would also be right in saying that the kind of mess Vick brings to them from animal rights people is going to make for a very interesting season of media coverage.

So enjoy it, dog killers, and here's laughing at you.

Cowboys Fans You Needn't Explain Yourself to Fraudulent Scum

TexasCowboy — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:46:03 -0400

I'll be the first to tell you as a die hard fanatic of the Dallas Cowboys, I have never, ever had to justify myself or the Cowboys, to the likes of jealous human scum, yet when I'm reading the boards. There you are still talking to these morons.

Why?

Do you not realize that fraud haters live off jealousy of the Cowboys. Oh I assure you that statement is 100% true. Why else would they need to continue to talk about them so much?

Don't believe me, check the boards. at some point you will find something that is related to Dallas, adding comment after comment. Showing you just how jealous these frauds really are.

My point?

As fans of America's Team you don't need to talk to them, who in the hell are they? I find it is much better to talk to your own kind, even if your own kind can at times be idiots themselves. But it is a lot better than dealing with fraudulent scum whome you know are nothing more then piles of human waste.

Did Wade Phillips Say Tougher or Easier?

TexasCowboy — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:29:16 -0400

It sounded to me like the focus was on tougher, but when I heard that the players were not allowed to hit one another, it was at that moment that I began to realize that Wade and Jerry were throwing the usual BS at us.

That is, they were trying to get the fans to calm down, stop listening to everyone else, and listen only to them. Believe that everything is A-OK down in Big D; Jerry Jones and his sock puppet have everything under control.

But it sounds to me like the zoo is still run by the same idiot who needs to be locked away in a cage, with his side show freak head coach, if that isn't worse. Then I can tell you that the loss of T.O. and other key players have already doomed this team in 09, but daddy Jerry says it's all right kids. The rides are safe and nothing is going to harm you!

Give me a break; believing that is the same as someone telling you they have desert land they can sell you for very cheap. Don't believe it, 'cause I certainly don't.

Wade No More Mr Nice Guy? LMAO, Yeah Right

TexasCowboy — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:14:22 -0400

The one thing I hate is cheap talk. It does nothing because actions speak louder than words, so this brings me to why I am writing this blog today.

I heard Uncle Wade is "laying down the law" with the players. "No more Mr. Nice Guy," at first I thought I was hearing it wrong.

But it seems the days of Uncle Wade, everybody's friend, is coming to a close. Now it is Wade Phillips staring in Cowboy's Hell's Kitchen, where Tubby will attempt to be Gordon Ramsey and yell and scream at players trying to get the very best out of them.

Is anyone really buying this crap?

Wade is a marshmallow and he knows it. Any attempt now to try and lay down the law will only cause a mutiny. Further choas will ensue and the team will fall in to utter ruins, so why bother?

Anything short of winning the super bowl will not save your job. The head idiot I am sure has all ready timed your demise. While he all ready has his next head coach on speed dial.

Don't believe me? Jerry has said he is committed to the coach he has in place now, and has immediately fired them. So yeah, it is not a good idea to take stock in what Jones is slinging.

My advice, go out with a bang! You really didn't accomplish anything while in Dallas so just let the campers at Camp Cupcake have one more, splash in the pool, before Jerry makes everyone get out and go home.

Then you can walk away as you entered, no dignity, tons of shame and a disgrace to the Phillips coaching legacy

Why Tony Romo Couldn't Admit He Was Hurt During the 44-6 Loss to the Eagles

TexasCowboy — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:57:34 -0400

I'll gladly tell you why.

Even if it was made known that Tony Romo was hurt during the 44-6 spanking by the Eagles, idiots would have just blown it off and called sports radio to rag on him anyway.

Still confused?

The process of making up stories takes many twists and turns. On the one hand, you have the player who is obviously hurt but not saying nothing about the injury.

Next, you have the moronic media. The media's job is to report on what they see and hear, basing their story on facts, nothing else, and then submit the report for final approval.

The problem is only a certain percentage are facts. The rest is basically garbage opinion, which is then allowed on the air where the mindless idiots who hang off the media's every word accept it.

Now, ask me what all this has to do with Romo and the loss.

He said nothing about the injury because clearly he knew, just like all the rest of us with brains, that if he reported he was hurt, there would have been all kinds of spin.

Many would claim it was just a excuse; others would claim something else. So, why in the hell should he say anything? He did the smart thing and let all of the morons believe what they wanted to believe.

Call it being phony, tough, or crazy brave, but he got the better of you idiots who just wanted to claim that it was an excuse and then run away.

Now you know the truth.

If You Listen to the Moron Media You Deserve What You Get

TexasCowboy — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:26:21 -0400

Listeners are brain-washed daily..by talking head media people, who spew their rhetoric over the air ways, either via television or radio and like programed machines. The sound of the simultaneous click happens. Talk shows about sports or politics are blasting over the air ways.

The mere sheep who soak up this fountain of miss information closely have their eyes peeled and ears perked up. Ready to run back, to the first person they can find to tell them what they heard.

Meanwhile those with brains shake their heads at the idiotic, who have no clue, how to argue for them selves, instead of arguing for what the media said.

You definitely got what you deserved

You've allowed yourselves to be manipulated and suckered in to the world of opinions that don't mean a damn thing. You're the pawns the media is using to get it's message out there.

Oh wait.

I keep forgetting, many of you who will read this like what the media says. The media in your eyes can say no wrong or do no wrong.

Even I myself in writing this in some way can be called someone of the media, so how dare I bash something that I myself am using.

The difference?

I write to tell the truth and don't attempt to sugar coat the events that are happening out there. I'll tell it like it is, regardless if anyone likes it or not.

But others are not me, I can not make them tell you the truth. Others will do what they want and remain afraid.. to tell you the way it really is, using and leaving you confused and uncertain. of what the real truth is.

Call it being too scared to tell you the truth, or the cocky attitude of, you'rr all my puppets and I tell you what I want you to think

So here are the bits and pieces on the for me to know, you to find out bases.

Either way.

It's your choice, chose to listen to them and you deserve exactly what you get.

In Football, Lombardi Trophies Put Up. So to the Rest...Just Shut Up

TexasCowboy — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 23:36:34 -0400

I could care less what you think, could care less how far your team went ahead of mine. In the end, that means absolutely nothing. The authority to brag is solely for the ones who hoist what is in the picture above this blog (Vince Lombardi Trophy).

But the media said that because we won a playoff game and went a game further than yours, we have a right to say we are better. So we don't have to listen to you, 'cause your team hasn't won a playoff game yet.

Like I stated above, I could care less what you think and certainly don't care how far your so-called team went. Did they win the Super Bowl? Were they the ones hoisting the big prize when it was all over—said and done with?

No?

Than what the media said meant jack squat. It was lies to get you to believe what they wanted you to believe. Then, when your team failed to win the big one, they just left you on the side of the curb—having no more use for the team who went on ahead of the team they beat the week before.

Feel used? You should.

Because the truth is, you're only as good to the media as your wins and their lies can carry one another. And once you no longer matter, it's on to the next team. Next lies and false hype, please.

What is all this getting at?

Simple. For all you idiots out there clinging to the playoff argument, you're nothing more than mere pawns to a warped media who love it when you pit up against a fan of a team that has not seen his team win a playoff game.

For the record, that does not include those who over the years have seen their team win playoff games. Future or past, they do count.

Bottom line.

One winner, 31 losers, like it or not. That is the way it is. Either you have what is in the picture above this blog or you don't. It's put up or shut up.

So, unless you are the Steelers of last year, the best thing to do is shut up, because only the winner matters. The rest don't.

Dallas Cowboys: Addition By Subtraction Doesn't Add Up

TexasCowboy — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:36:07 -0400

OK I get it, you're not ready to see that the 2009 Dallas Cowboys are a train wreck just waiting to happen.

So, what can I do to convince you? I've already pointed out that Dallas really have not added anyone. We actually have subtracted talent.

Say what you want about the talent we released: TO, Pacman, Canty, Henry, Ellis, Johnson, Thomas and safety Roy Williams, but that is veteran leadership the Cowboys can never get back.

More importantly, that is depth the Cowboys can never get back.

Don't you get it?

Yes, we may get younger at certain positions, but we also get inexperience at certain positions as well. This is inexperience that has the potential to cost us games, because the players we thought were ready don't have the first clue as to what they are doing out there.

Take Mike Jenkins for example. He's in just his second year, a little more seasoned, but still raw around the edges. He is bound to make mistakes, like a rookie. Is this what we really want; second year guys raw around the edges and starting for America's team?

No, I am not hinting that I believe we should ride veterans right into the grave. I am all for giving the younger guys their chance to shine, but only when the time is right.

Now is not that time.

Now is not the time when we need to start abandoning veterans for the future of the team. We are putting big responsibilities to the unknowns without exploring every option out there.

Now is when we still need the veteran talent.

We need the TOs, Pacman Jones, Tank Johnsons and Zach Thomases, but thanks to Jerry Jones and the rest of the front office brass, our veterans rode off into the sunset and our future is in the hands of incompetent coaches and a boob for a owner.

Bottom line: This time bomb has already gone off. The 2009 season is done for the Cowboys. The only good news is that there is always next year.

Maybe...

Don't Expect Light at the End of This Dallas Cowboys Tunnel for 2009

TexasCowboy — Wed, 13 May 2009 12:46:12 -0400

They say “Bad news travels fast” so what is the bad news? The bad news is that this is not a team that has not improved for 2009. Wade is still the head coach and the so called red head "genius" Jason Garrett is still in charge of calling the plays. And of course "Satan," I mean Jerry Jones, is still running the team.

But wait it gets worse. On top of those things I just mentioned, Dallas went and had a terrible draft and got rid of T.O. who was a leading producer for the team. They have not even filled in the other gaps from the offseason releases they made.

Light at the end of this tunnel? Hell no, not even close. Unfortunately 2009 will be just like 2008, a disappointment.

So get your train wreck ready.

Realism is not 2nd place

TexasCowboy — Tue, 12 May 2009 16:15:29 -0400

Let me ask all of you this question, if today was your last day on earth, how would you want to be remembered?

I think all of us would say that we want to be remembered as having done something that nobody else could say they done. Now think about that response and use it, towards your team, if the NFL closed down right now, thus ending football forever, how would you want your team to be remembered?

For those who have seen our respective teams win super bowls, we would want them to always be remembered as a winner.

But what about those who have never had that chance?

Can we really say, they were winners?

I think not, sure they may have won a playoff game or two, but is it enough to hang your hat on? In short no it's not, so why all of the hype of winning a playoff game then?

I have never understood the argument, that fans attempt to use to describe progress, that by winning a playoff game your team is good. To quote one of the funniest comedians around Jeff Dunham, "You can try and polish a turd, but it's still a turd"

Disgusting I know, but the point was, you can't make it look any better no matter how hard you try and shine it.

The same can be said about your team, you can try and make your team look bigger than they are, but in the end without that super bowl win, your nothing more than a turd.

Why Don't They Just Call It Predictablemania?

TexasCowboy — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:14:35 -0400

If you watched Wrestlemania 25 last weekend, I bet you're regretting it—and not because the matches were boring. But because it was so damn predictable.

It seemed like every one of the nine or 10 matches they had lined up had no ability to surprise you, or even keep you on the edge of your seat.

It was the doldrums of the same WWE story lines trying to excite you. Spending money to watch monkeys at a zoo throw their crap at each other is more entertaining than spending it on four hours of predictable garbage.

So to Vince and to all the other WWE writers—please do us a favor and hire some real writers and find better story lines.

Or we can always take our viewing over to TNA.

Open Questions for Jerrry Jones

TexasCowboy — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 10:45:34 -0400

All this crap about releasing T.O. so that younger players can now grow is just BS...In fact, it is such stupid BS...It leads one to think of several possibilities. All not good.

1) Do you just say whatever whenever because it's easy and you're not thinking about the fact that we can see through the rambling BS???? Are you just tired (Feeble Minded or Senile) or extremely arrogant?

2) Do you actually believe you own lies and are in fact autistically psychotic (AP)? As in you have now separated yourself from reality because you've made up your own reality and it only exists in your own mind????

3) Do you actually believe that everybody who's name isn't Jerry is stupid enough to not remember or compare what you've has said and therefore doesn't know when you are lying????

Hmmm...Is this an Arkansas political thing a la Bill Clinton and his various whoppers??

4) JDo you not care that we (everybody not named Jerry) know you're lying???? And does this speak volumes about how you run your team and what you really think about the fans.

So..."What is it Jerry?"

P.S. Don't answer me...Answer to yourself... Because you do know who is the father of liars.

A special thanks goes out to F-14 Tomcat of The Ranch Report for this spot on commentary.

Jackass Jerry Jones Does It Again

TexasCowboy — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 10:18:44 -0500

It's never a good thing when the idiot listens to the voices in his head. These voices lead to bad things happening for the Dallas Cowboys.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane, just in case any of you have forgotten just what the voices in his head have gotten us over the years.

1993: ego clash; Jimmy Johnson walked away. Jackass took it as an insult to his very sensitive arrogant pride. He claimed that he didn't need Johnson to run the team because he could get anyone to do that.

He hired the first of many puppets, which, yes, did land him a Super Bowl title. Thanks to Johnson who built the team.

The misfortune of a series of drafting mistakes and overspending followed, resulting in the misuse of draft picks. To compensate for the blunders—three years of 5-11 was enough—it was determined that it was time to hire someone with a clue...enter Bill Parcells.

Parcells only lasted four years because he became burned out due to his team's lack of drive in wanting to win. Parcells left, but not before we entered the year of Luv-Me-Sum-of-Me Terrell Owens' contract signing with Dallas. The year was 2006.

Wade Phillips was hired as team's new head coach during the following season. In other words, we were back to the puppet coaches again. Dallas managed to go 13-3, only to suffer a horrible season last year.

So what does this have to do with Jackass cutting T.O.? Bad decisions lead to bad things when this clown gets his hands on things.

The team fails to win a championship, bad choices of who should and shouldn't be cut are made, and we the fans are forced to suffer—all because this joker is nothing more than an incompetent boob.

He has no clue as to what he's doing. And while yes, I did give the team the benefit of the doubt, as to being a possible 8-8 team this year, I've been forced to scale that number back to possibly 4-6 wins—all thanks to the incompetent boob, who won't be stopping himself from listening to the voices in his head anytime soon.

It's Time To Ban the Moron Media Down in Dallas

TexasCowboy — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:11:32 -0500

Now I know that Jerry Jones likes the media attention down in Dallas, but let's face it: The idiots cause more trouble than they are worth. This is why I am asking Jones to do himself, and his organization, a favor and ban the moron media down in Dallas.

It is not worth the time nor effort to explain yourself to a bunch of pencil-pushing scumbags who will never tell the story the way it really is. So what's the point of having them around?

Let them go bother some other NFL team and ruin it with made-up stories...then this team can focus on the task at hand, without reading newspaper or magazine articles or seeing something plastered all over the worldwide web, causing a circus that none of us really needs to know about.

Of course, I know moron haters will cry if they do not get their daily bad-news reports on the Cowboys. Many may even laugh if you do ban the media, thinking that it in fact makes us look like a bigger joke.

So I say let the morons scoff and mock, they are a collective joke anyways!

The sooner this headache is removed in Dallas, the sooner the team can get back to the task at hand, which is winning the Super Bowl XLIV.

But it only starts when you tell the media to pack up their **** and get the **** out of Dallas.

Even When Jason Garrett Was His Own Worst Enemy, T.O. Is Still Getting Blamed

TexasCowboy — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 12:09:55 -0500

If the collapse of the 2008 Cowboys wasn't bad enough, the media now has to go and add more salt to the wound, claiming that T.O. was the reason why OC Jason Garrett did not get the head coaching job with the St. Louis Rams

Absurd I know, but this is what they and many idiots like them believe. But as always, I am here to set the record straight, because something like this cannot go on any longer. The ridiculousness of these unfounded allegations are just idiotic in nature.

So just what is the truth in all of this? Jason Garrett threw himself under the bus long before T.O. did; how do I know this? Just look at the number of games where Dallas had a two-score lead and never tried to put it away.

They left teams hanging around, came close a time or two, to where Dallas should have lost the game, not won it, but it's still Terrell Owens fault.

Because after all, according to idiots, he is still the same locker room cancer that the 'Niners and Eagles got rid of. Give it a rest all ready...If anyone did it to them selves it would be Jason Garrett, who obviously has no guts in his play calling.

The same JG who had everyone deceived into believing, that he was some kind of guru when it came to having the magic formula for how to maneuver the team down field. But he had no sort of answers as to why his team couldn't put on more points. The same kind of points his team was scoring early on in the season.

His one pass, IMO, is that injures did not help, but he did have guys like Choice waiting in the wings. But he choose to throw it. He chose to let Romo hang himself out to dry, and the morons think—that would be owners and general managers—who tune in to see their next possible head coach in action, only hearing good things about him and his abilities, get exposed to a fraud coordinator!

LOL and you think he is going to get hired by someone else after they got done watching that?

LMAO, stop the insanity...This is not about what T.O. says or said. This is about a guy whom everyone thought was ready, and got treated to the real Jason Garrett, and as sad as that may seem

In reality, Jason Garrett brought it on himself and nobody else. He truly was his own worst enemy.

Buyer Beware Before You Crown the Dallas Cowboys as Super Bowl Champs in 2010

TexasCowboy — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 03:28:25 -0500

So, you say it's now 2010 when the Cowboys win their sixth Super Bowl? Before that, it was every year that Bill Parcells was in charge, that was our supposed "year," when Wade the "inhuman Marshmallow" Phillips took over and went 13-3, that was supposed to be the "year," am I right?

This year was supposed to be the year as well, and we all seen how that one turned out.

So, before you start casting crowns for the '09 Cowboys, maybe the buyer of this bogus hype should be aware of just who this team really is?

Gutless, clueless, bums, lacking heart and killer instinct. Any of those ringing a bell? No, ok, how about a team that can not finish what they start? Now we are getting some where, prima donna pretty boys, who don't seem to share the same vision as us fans.

They seem to care more about the paycheck than actually winning, bottom line couldn't find winning if they were smacked in the face with a screen door.

And this is the team you want to crown Super Bowl champions in 2010? You have to be out of your damn minds. You people are nuts not to see that what we are getting is the same team of this year next year, except for a few players Jerry may decide cannot comeback from this year's squad.

Regardless, this year's bums are returning next year, which means that if any fan has his hopes up for anything to change, you're in for a longer season this year than you were last year.

Dallas Cowboy Fans: Put the False Bravado to Bed

TexasCowboy — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:41:47 -0500

Now please don't take this the wrong way folks because as much as I love the Cowboys and am fanatical when it comes to America's Team, the time to put down, all of the damn false bravado, is now!

It's time you started waking up...it's time you started paying more attention, it's time to see the forest past the trees. Yesterday's game (regardless of how well you thought they played), is indicative of all the underlying problems the Cowboys are having.

From coaching to injures, and everywhere in between. These issues do not go away and the longer you ignore them, and think that winning makes it all better, the worse it gets for the '08 Cowboys.

Wake up! Certain wounds do not need a kiss to heal them up, some require stitching and time to heal and that is what this Cowboy team needs.

Time to heal up, in 2009 nobody will remember what a disappointing year 2008 was, all eyes will be on the '09 Cowboys, refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to make another run at it this time with better results.

So yes, I am saying the season is done for this year, and while you may think differently of me as a fan, remember this: I seen the forest past the trees, a long time ago. When will you wake up and do the same?

For a Commisioner Who Talks Tough He Sure Doesn't Deliever What He Promises

TexasCowboy — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:49:03 -0500

Four weeks ago Adam Jones, better known to many as Pacman, was wrongfully suspended by the league for what they claimed was an incident where Jones got into a fight with one of his body guards, causing some damage.

His punishment: a four-game suspension and an "alcohol addiction" program. Meanwhile, players such as Matt Jones, who was caught in possession of cocaine (a felony), denies that it is his and is allowed to walk by the league. Marshawn Lynch ran into people then fled the scene—what was his punishment by the league for the incident? None.

Then there is the case of Larry Johnson, who has to serve a one-game suspension and loses $147,000 for punching a woman in the face at a night club.

Talk about a load of crap. This guy said he would be tough on ALL the players and owners who violate league rules and policies, but so far he has shown me that he is a marshmallow when it comes to what other players do. But if Jones so much as sneezes the wrong way, he is out of the league forever.

And what about that supposed Jones incident? The night in question is now really clouded by the admission of the officer who wrote the report—who later came out and said he did, in fact, falsify the report.

So is it right that Jones is made to serve the four-game suspension while others are allowed to walk untouched by this so-called hard-on-crime commissioner?

You be the judge.

The Happy Ending Only Comes When Jerry Jones Is Gone

TexasCowboy — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:02:54 -0500

Many of you out there probably like the job Jerry Jones has done as the teams' owner and General Manager of the Dallas Cowboys.

Yes, he has had success, but his questionable decisions have brought nothing but despair and no hope to the Dallas Cowboys' Nation. Instead we grumble about coaching, we grumble about players, and we want change.

We get excuses and denial about the real state of this team from its illustrious owner and GM. We get some help in the way of new coaches and new players. But the problem remains—Jerry is the thorn that still runs the show down in Dallas.

Because of this, no matter who they bring in for any kind of change, they can't get it done. Coaches have no say over the state of the team, which is why Jerry so many times has hired from within.

No real coach will lead that team if Jerry Jones is calling all the shots. It's not worth the grief and aggravation, but what's worse is we are forced to suffer for the stupidity of our owner.

So how can real change begin to occur down in Dallas? It can start with Jones stepping down as GM or being forced out as owner and GM. Perhaps allowing his son Stephen to take control of the team and allow him to do the things that his father never wanted to do. Maybe hire a real GM.

This would bring in better quality coaches, more discipline, and better players. While it may mean having to start back at square one, it's better than living off the delusion that this team is only a player or two away from winning the Super Bowl, when they are not even close to that accomplishment.

Reality Check for the Dallas Cowboys

TexasCowboy — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:57:13 -0400

Remember this?

I love the Cowboys as much as the next fan of America's Team. This is not the same Cowboys team I saw take apart the Browns, Eagles and Packers. Something has gotten in to this team and has them playing at a snails pace. There is NO heart, NO energy and not a team that looks like they are having fun out there.

This is what has me worried because I get the sense that at any time the wheels could come off the wagon. NO, this doesn't mean that I am hitting the panic button. It means that I am being cautious and praying we can hold on for dear life

The last thing I would ever want to happen to this team or the great fan base is to have is have our wheels come off and end up once again in disappointment. Not because we failed to win the division or a playoff game, but because we failed to win a super bowl title.

This is why it pains me deeply to see this team play the way it does with out life but it does not mean that I still don't believe in them. I still believe with 11 games left this team can still pull it out but they certainly have to play better than they have if they wish to get it done.

The Rotten Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree

Warning, what you are about to hear could be classed as trolling by idiots, but if you are like me, you don't take things sitting down.

OK, since it is a known fact that I was banned from the Extremeskins' message board on occasion. Whenever the need for a laugh arises, I go back, and I'm still able to read what you clowns write.

In doing so, I came across a thread that I just couldn't stand by and say nothing about it.

The comment in question was a series of accusations, and the moron—not named, but he knows who he is—claimed the following things about Cowboys fans.

He claims:

* Cowboys fans ignore anything negative about the Cowboys

* They twist facts to suit their agenda

* Spin, spin, spin, and more spin

What a load of crap, huh?

And yet, no matter which way they attempt to turn the knife, Deadskins fans are notoriously "not BIG" for being the masters of spin doctoring, ignoring and twisting anything that mentions the Cowboys in a positive way.

And while, yes, it can be true that sometimes Cowboys fans do not look at the other side of the coin, it is also true that clowns "haters" do not look at anything positive about the Cowboys

Both are guilty of wearing the rose-colored glasses, spin doctoring, and even twisting things to get it only one way: their way.

However, if you are going to criticize one, then don't forget to look in the mirror and take a deep look at yourself.

The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

The Dallas Cowboys Say "So Long" to Terry Glenn

TexasCowboy — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:55:47 -0400

After waiting for as long as they could, the Dallas Cowboys were forced to come to a decision that wasn't so easy to make, but felt was vital to the next step of the Boys 2008 Super Bowl run. So, Terry Glenn was released from the Dallas Cowboys, but it leaves many wondering, "now what?"

Back in April,when Dallas had the chance to take a wide receiver, Dallas passed on them all and felt none of them were worth, either first or second round money. Heck, not even worth fifth or sixth round money

So, Dallas, now with the departure of Glenn are left with a void at the number two spot and not one receiver on the team worthy of taking over...

Decisions..decisions. Jerry, who are you going to get to replace Glenn? The only option is to try and trade for a WR and hope someone is willing to bite on the offer, if not, you stand to go in to the 2008 with one less receiver on your roster with just a hope and a prayer that Terrell Owens will be healthy enough to last the entire year

Putting the Cart Before the Horse Is Not a Good Idea Wade Phillips

TexasCowboy — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:51:06 -0400

I like enthusiasm and being optimistic, but let's be brutally honest and come right out and say it: December is not the best month for America's Team. It's as cruel as it is cold and they fade when they need to be heating up.

So making comments like get the ring finger ready is not such a good idea there Wade since even under Parcells the Boys weren't all that hot in the month of December. They barely got by and managed to find ways to get in to the playoffs, sometimes deserved and often times not deserved, but never the less they were there whether we thought they should be there or not.

So while some may say that Super Bowl talk is not warranted, especially since they can not win a playoff game, I take the more direct approach and say find out what makes them slow down in December and fix it.

Then you can talk about winning a Super Bowl in February because the truth is, until the Cowboys coaches and players find out what is wrong, it seems like the same road blocks are going to befall them until they fix it.

Could This Be The End Of Roy Williams In Dallas?

TexasCowboy — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:08:26 -0400

Before we read too much in to this, the likelihood of it happening is about 99-1, but then again with Dallas you never know. Okay, it seems that murmurs are going around at The Ranch that some time during camp Cowboys Safety Roy Williams could be flat out cut or traded.

This is of course depending on how Williams performs at this years training camp. If he should falter don't get shocked if you read in the paper that he was cut or traded away to another team.

However, I am not sold Dallas is going to trade him away to someone else but like I said it's Dallas and we never know what they are going to do. I do know this much however, that Williams performance in the past year or so has slipped to being a below average safety in the NFL.

Which doesn't bode well for Williams if he hopes to stay on as a Cowboy past the 2008 season, but stranger things have happened to players who have had the gauntlet thrown down at them.

Now we'll just have to wait and see how Roy responds to this challenge and if he in fact remains a Cowboy for at least one more year.

Bill Parcells Comes Clean About Why He Left Dallas Cowboys

TexasCowboy — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:21:29 -0400

In his interview with Mike and The Mad Dog, Bill Parcells stated that his reason for stepping down as head coach was not about the losses.

It was more about all of the long hours he no longer could put in, because he is getting older.

Now in a recent comment Parcells made to the Sun Sentinel, he blames Cowboys QB Tony Romo for his leaving Dallas.

“All you got to do is kick a field goal, the most elementary of plays, and then you just don’t do it. And so I don’t want to go through that process again. Too much blood,” Parcells said.

First off Bill, Romo doesn't kick the field goals, the kicker does. Second, having Romo holding snaps was your mistake, not his. You and you alone allowed Drew Bledsoe to sulk like a baby on the sidelines after he lost his starting job to Romo.

You needed to kick Bledsoe in the butt and get him to fulfill his duties and obligations both as a team player and backup.

But the statue couldn't be bothered, and you for all intents and purposes because of name calling, had players who didn't want to play for you.

So how does that make you feel, Bill? Players wouldn't perform their best for you because you insisted on calling them names. You thought they would perform better if they were ridiculed.

Guess it all backfired, huh? Oh well. Good riddance to rotten Tuna.

Jerry Jones Would Look Like an Idiot If He Fired Wade Phillips after the Season

TexasCowboy — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:46:10 -0400

If Jerry Jones fires Wade Phillips after this season, it wouldn't be the first time for Jones to make himself look like an idiot.

Take the 1998 draft where he refused to take Randy Moss with the eighth overall pick; since then, Moss has destroyed Dallas every time the Cowboys face off against Moss.

Then there is the bright idea that Jerry knows best! And the hiring of complete puppet head coaches...a lot of good that did you, huh Jerry? One was fired just after his second season, another one was fired after going 5-11 three years in a row, and good 'ole boy Barry rode off into the sunset after doing you a favor back in 1995 taking what was all ready built and giving you Super Bowl win number five.

Now, there is Wade Phillips, who after just one season has no safety net after the season is done, according to some because J. Jones wants Garret to be the head coach.

But how soon we forget that Wade did bring this team to its 13-3 record and its first division title since 1998, despite the fact that Dallas failed to advance past the first round of last year's playoffs.

So, if this is true, once again Jones reflects the negative light on himself and on the Cowboys franchise, going from owner of change to ring leader of a circus that even he can't control.

Expecting Wade Phillips To Be Gone After Next Season? Not So Fast

TexasCowboy — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:09:25 -0400

So you say Wade Phillips job is in jeopardy? That after next season Wade Phillips is replaced by the understudy Jason Garret...who only stayed on because Jerry told him that after next season he is in Wade is out?

Hmm, sounds like a load of crap to me! Considering that Jerry, unlike Al Davis of the Raiders, doesn't hire then fire after one or two years. Then what do you call Chan Gailey's firing after his second season?

A mistake by a ego owner for one, meddling and two, not allowing Gailey longer to try and put pieces together to see if he could turn it win it all. This explains why Jerry had to learn two very hard lessons, which were that new coaches who are under puppet control aren't to blame for non success when the owner can't keep his hands off.

Dents aren't made after only two seasons.

Which is why when Dave Campo took over in 2000 as head coach, Jerry extended him more time to see where he could go with it. After three years of 5-11, Jones was left with no choice but to fire Campo and hire a real head coach

Forcing Jones to once again take his hands off the controls and stepping back away and let someone who could handle it, Handle it!!!

Ladies and gentleman I give you Bill Parcells!

So what does all this have to do with Wade Phillips and his possible removal from head coach to civiline after the 2008 season?

Simply this, Wade Phillips is not on the hot seat. Jones would be stupid to just bring in Garret who has no experience head coaching a team, allowing someone of Phillips' experience to walk out the door without first allowing him the same kinds of chances Jerry Jones extended his previous coaches.

I expect Phillips to be back for 2009 after that is up in the air but at least for now his job is safe. The rest is up to him.
