I’m guessing that picture was taken after MB3 made two other guys miss - badly - and then ran over this slacker on his way to the end zone. My wife’s comment after this Barber TD run? “Maybe number 20 was still woozy from that block Sam Herd put on him earlier in the game.”
One of the many, many reasons I love my wife.

Dear Scott,
You were a great boss for those two years I worked in Kansas City, but I have to take you to task. Let me set the scene. We’re sitting in a cool little coastal bar in Gulf Shores, Alabama back in June when you decided to spout off some hot sports opinions. You looked me straight in the eye and said,”Write this down: Tony Romo will be exposed for the fraud that he is this year.”
Well, three weeks into the year, the Cowboys are 3-0 and just completely decimated the best defense the NFL has to offer in a 34-10 victory over the Chicago Bears. Just in case you weren’t watching, Romo went 22-35 for 329 yards and two touchdowns against the Bears defense that abused your Chiefs like a KC native abuses meth.
So far this year, the Cowboys have scored 45, 37 and 34 points. Here are Romo’s numbers: 62.5 % completions, 860 yards, 8 tds and only 2 ints. His quarterback rating against the Bears was 100.8 and that LOWERED his rating for the year. He was at 119.3 going into the game.
So what’s the point of this post? Simply to say that you’re an idiot, Scott. I can’t really blame it on you though, because being in the midwest that long will start to make anyone a little dingy. Plus, you’re an Atlanta native where the dog fights are more competitive than the football games.
Sincerely,
Steve
P.S.
I think when you were making your preditions, you meant to say Matthew Stafford instead of Tony Romo. Stafford is a homo.

I think so. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to try to hit that stupid ball. Enjoy…

My dad was in the corps at A&M and graduated in the class of ‘72. He’s a VERY proud Aggie alum, so I was raised on watching the boys in maroon and white every Saturday. We lived and died by how they played. We loved the Wrecking Crew, I can still remember the hit that Quentin Coryatt put on the wide receiver from TCU back in the day. But, my youthful exuberance is slowly starting to die.
Is it because I’m getting older, found a new team to cheer for, or because I just don’t like college football anymore? Negative, Ghostrider. It’s because I’m sick and tired of hearing what a great coach Dennis Franchione is, then watching his team get their butts handed to them by a marginally good team.
Case in point was the embarassment on national television last night. the Thursday night ESPN game featured a down and out Miami team struggling to rebuild facing off with the #20 team in the country. Sounds like a pretty one-sided game, right? Well, it was. The Ags looked T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E.
The A&M offense is just that right now, offensive. It’s painful to watch their ground game struggle to pick up 2 yards per carry, and I’m not even going to go into the fact that running back sensation Javorski Lane didn’t have a touch on the ball until 8 minutes into the third quarter. Their top running back (in my opinion) finished the game with 2 carried for 2 yards. Wow, now that’s great coaching.
It’s time for Fran to move onto another school that he can fool into thinking he’s a “great recruiter” and leave the Ags alone. We’ve been through enough heartache and tribulation over the past few years to last true Aggie fans a lifetime. Don’t get me wrong, I still have marron blood coursing through my viens, but right now it’s boiling - and not because I’m cheering for a great team.
I would love to say that I’m boycotting the rest of the Aggie season, but I know the next time they’re on television, I’ll be clutching my stuffed replica of Reveille, shouting out the Aggie fight song and praying that Stephen McGee can somehow draw up his own plays and lead the boys in maroon and white to a victory… despite their woefully inept coaching staff. Here’s to hoping…

Special thanks to Gordon Keith who tipped us all off to this little gem on The Ticket this morning. It’s a musical ode to Bill Belichek and Tom Brady, the proprietors of professional sports’ latest controversy: Spygate.
I love it mostly because it sheds light on what a fraud the Patriots are, even though in today’s world of the “last 5-minute” sports fan, people will tell you they’re the greatest team ever. The ’90s Cowboys would have kicked these pansies’ asses up and down the field, with or without them stealing signals.

Mark Grace long ago talked about life as a Major League baseball player and what would happen if a hitter fell into a slump. They would find the ugliest, heaviest woman at a bar and enter into a night of promescuity with said “lady”.
Well, I find an interesting correlation with the recent signing of Tank Johnson. I believe he has become the Cowboys “Slump Buster”. He’s ugly…fat… the Cows don’t care where or who he’s been with…and now Jerry is hoping Tank can help end their O for the decade slump in playoff wins.
I do believe, as do Steve and Josh, that this is a good deal for the ‘Boys. Let’s just hope he doesn’t become an STD (Sizable Tank Disaster) to Dallas by waving around an AK-47 at Victory Park.

I agree, Steve-o. Cowboys = genius.

The Cowboys made a brilliant move today by signing former Bears defensive lineman, Tank Johnson, to a two-year deal. The move will help shore up an interior line that has a huge hole missing with Jason Ferguson being out for the year.
Johnson won’t actually get on the field for the Cowboys until mid-season due to a league suspension stemming from a gun charge last spring. However, I don’t see this as being a bad thing. If the Cowboys can continue to weather the storm of this early part of the season without starters Terence Newman, Greg Ellis and now, Tank Johnson, then come mid-season, they will inject three high-powered, well-rested impact players into their line-up in the most important part of the year. This might give the Cowboys the ability to pull away from the pack in November and December instead of collapsing like they’ve done for the past two years.
And it’s not bad to a have a few trouble makers on your team. If you spend more time worrying about assembling a pack of choirboy nancies, instead of smash-mouth, trash-talkin’ brutes, you can see the difference on the field. Plus, most of Tank’s legal issues have been gun related. What better place for a man who loves guns than Texas!

RE: Jerrod’s #2 below - we were up 6 runs in the final inning, not 5. And the other team had only scored 8 runs the entire game. And they “scored” 7 to win. Yeah. Just makes it worse.

Add these to the list:
1. At 31 years old, the body does not feel good the day following a double header.
2. I hate losing. Especially when we’re up 5 runs in the final inning.
3. Sitting out of the game due to injury must suck. Better you than me Josh.
4. We need a new bat.
5. Better to be hit in the back of the head than the front of the face.
6. Walks should be disallowed in slow pitch softball.
7. Don’t try to drink soda when you’re winded.
8. I hate losing.

We had our first double-header last night (well, maybe Jerrod’s had a few of those not related to softball, but this is a kid-friendly show) and I made a few observations. From the bench. When where me and my broke knee were keeping stats. Yeah, pretty much.
1. The sound of a softball being thrown full force and smacking somebody 15 feet away in the head is not a sound that I would care to hear ever again.
2. Our team is capable of scoring a lot of runs. Like 35. In one game. Before the umps called it off.
3. Jerrod is fast. Like Roadrunner fast. Or Carl Lewis fast.
4. I hate keeping stats when my team is playing. Hate it.
5. You can walk in a run in softball. Or several runs. To lose the game.
6. Steve walked THREE times in our last game of the night. In four plate appearance. Seriously.
7. We have the most athletic, but un-coordinated team in the history of softball. As evidenced by the three people that fell down for no reason while trying to run the bases.
8. Jerrod got his first grand slam last night, but I’m sure it won’t be his last.
9. Steve gunned a guy at third from left field. And it was awesome.
10. Did I mention that I hate keeping stats from the bench while my team is playing? Hate it.

Here’s the stats.
Marion Barber
25 attempts - 154 yards - 3 TD’s - 6.2 yards per attempt
Julius Jones
31 attempts - 98 yards - 0 TD’s - 3.2 yards per attempt
Tony Romo
7 attempts - 47 yards - 1 TD - 6.7 yards per attempt
Terrell Owens
1 attempt - 5 yards - 0 TD - 5.0 yards per attempt
So your starting running back is worse in yards per carry than your 2nd string RB, your starting QB, and your starting WR. Your starting QB has more rushing touchdowns as does your 2nd string RB. Is it too early to draw our own conclusions? I think not. Wade, start Barber, and trade Julius for Belichick’s camera man.

Okay, enough is enough. This poor girl made a mistake by taking a nude pic or two with her boyfriend - in confidentiality. She also took some silly pictures with some of her friends climbing all over each other, sticking their tongues out and being typical teenage girls. I’m a little tired of the sick-minded, dirty, voyeuristic ones of our society that try to jump all over her for taking these pictures while at the same time Google-ing her name looking for them.
The girl made a mistake and was goofing off with some friends. Leave her alone and just go watch the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee video again. And don’t act like you don’t have it downloaded to your desktop, loser.

It’s great, thanks for asking. The Cowboys are 2-0 for the first time since ‘99, Romo looked great again yesterday, we’ve got a softball double-header tonight and my doctor appointment to see if I need surgery on the knee is today (I’m optimistic about not having to have it).
I’m in such a good mood I’m not even going to dignify Jerrod’s idiotic, neanderthal-like diatribe with a response. He just says stuff about Phil’s greatness to try to get under my skin. Note to Jerrod: Not gonna happen. It’s a good Monday…

Same song different verse. Tiger wins the FedEx Crap and the Tour Championship. Hefty Lefty really showed what he was made of and put the fear into Tiger with a 5 under for the tournament while Mr. Woods shot an overall -23. Does anyone else picture Phil as the “David” character in Tin Cup who hates dogs, kids and old people? The silver lining if you choose to see it for Phil and the rest of the field is that Tiger is taking 2 months off after the President’s Cup to spend time with his family. I think the reason is he’s actually tired of winning. Tiger, thanks for giving Phil a chance now, by not playing until March…you sir, are a gentleman!

Greg Oden just called and said he’d see you tomorrow and ya’ll can have a sword fight with your crutches!

When did you say he graduated high school again? 1983? Must have been on the Jerrod college graduation plan - except Jerrod graduated in just a shade under a decade. Oden looks like he’s put a good 25 or 30 semesters into his college career.
