Did you hear the one about the....
Polock who attempted to swim the English Channel?
When he was half way across, he decided it was too far and easier to swim back.
There are times where it feels tougher than it truly is. Like when I get an email from a brewpub offering me free beer.
*Sigh*
Over the last couple of weekend I have put myself in the company of free beer and held strong. I can sit back and still wonder why the Hell I am doing this but deep down I know why. And yet I feel the offering of free beer will cease once April 13 arrives.
It is only 22 more days to go. Using no mathematical, atronomical, meteorological, podiatristical or even logical process, I am calculating when the sunset will be on April 13. I figure it to be at 7:44.
At 7:45 I will be reunited with two old friends named Mark and Miller. And no that is my friend named that that I am referring to. Though he is welcome to come out for a couple.
Until then I find ways to divert my attention. No I am not watching porn on the internet all the time. Though I do find the "reality" porn to be quite funny. No, I mean I have read a bunch of letter to either the Dallas Morning News or to the Dallas Cowboys about the signing of Terrell Owens. These letters are funny. They range from the totally irrational to sensible to the bitter Eagles fans. I find it amusing how many people have written in to say they "were a life-long Cowboys fan but are no more" just because they signed one player. People, this is not the Boy Scouts. The Cowboys are not signing people to become priests either. They are here to play football and win. Terrell Owens helps them out tremendously.
I am in the sensible camp (hey, stop laughing!). I truly believe Jerry Jones does what he can to have a successful football team. He will spend money where needed. Other teams wish their owners would do so. Whether you like T.O. or not isn't the question here. It is whether he will produce on the field like he has in the past. If he does, the Cowboys have a chance to be a contender this year and make a real run. If not, yes, they have wasted a bunch of money.
Maybe the funniest comments are those from Eagles fans. They are frothing at the mouth, hoping T.O. does to the Boys what he did to the Eagles. Destroy from within. People thought Keyshawn Johnson would do that. But he didn't. Fact is it worked out great. Johnson was a problem child. Are Eagles fans scared this relationship will work out? You bet they are. For all the joy they had 2 years ago, thinking they were now invincible, they are back to square one. And this time they are the bottom dog in the division. They can let the hate and anger overshadow their fear, but they know it is there.They also hope for Dawkins to put a lick on Owens. The most likely scenario is Dawkins giving up at the 10 yard line because he cannot catch #81 in the white jersey as he scampers by.
You won't see me wearing an Owens jersey, but you will see me cheering him on the field. Because that is what being a fan is about. What the guys do on the field to make the team better and win ballgames. For those who want to jump ship, I will set the diving board up for you and give you a push.

Well it certainly didn't take you long to sell out.
So much for "defend the star!"
George Teague already did that.
For my part, my disgust with T.O. is so strong that I promise to eternally hate the Philadelphia Eagles for sending him to us. I hope that T.O. gets 200 yards and 3 touchdowns each time the Cowboys play the Eagles just to punish the Eagles for trying to hurt my team by sending a player like T.O. to our roster.
Maybe this is what he needs to become a leader.
