Oh, wait — there was no flag. I guess it's just the worst NON-call in NFL history.

The Super Bowl loss to the Steelers four weeks later was just God's way of making things right.

Cowboys fans ... selective memory ... discuss.

Q: How do you get Jackie Smith off your porch?

A: Pay him for the pizza

Uh-oh.  Hopefully Badmike wont read this until tomorrow.  The Mavs just lost to the refs...oops sorry, I meant Heat.    He is probably not in the best of moods right now.

I guess it could be worse though.  Being a Cowboys fan or being a Vikings or Bills fan.  Four SB trips and nothing to show for it.  Not that I should be saying anything...I am a Cubs fan.  Futility and disgust are my middle names.  

How can the Mavs look like worldbeaters in two games then lose four in a row to the heat....well, when the free throw disparity is two to one in favor of the other team, and one of your best players gets suspended for a game, and then the refs keep calling those mindblowing hand check fouls....for the other team   Urgh.  I can't even talk about it right now.  Just let the teams play, unless someone clothes lines another player just let them play the damn game. I feel the same way about football, btw.  NFL cornerbacks have an absolutely impossible job because of the rules changed to promote offense...no shoving off past 5 yds, dont' breathe on the WR, etc.  That's why you don't see any good mantoman coverage anymore, it's all schemes and zones and defensive players running around like a keystone cops episode.  I think they SHOULD fight for the ball out there, using all means at their disposal, and best or most determined man wins.
    Well, Mavs lose, when does Cowboy training camp begin?

Nope, not a single one. They did, however, win the NFL championship in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957.

Interestingly enough, Jackie Smith is now in the NFL Hall of Fame.  The dropped Super Bowl pass was a bad note on a great career with the Cardinals.  It was the only pass thrown to him as a Cowboy.

I feel bad for the UK guys, many of whom will be waking up shortly, on what is Wednesday morning, and thinking "what is with all this bloody NFL talk?"

So here's a little somethin-somethin to tie together many of our recent discussions: soccer, tough guys, cheating, etc., etc. God save Vinnie Jones!

What's there left to fight for?

I feel sorry for the Lions.  Terrible city, woeful team.  But the fans seem dedicated enough.

And who'd they draft this year?  Another waterboy?

Paul Gascoigne.

Dont know about the rest of you, but the guy on the right looks like he is enjoying himself.

(unlike Eagles, Redskins and Giants fans who I wish would be dumped in a stadium sized hole of poop and set aflame  ).

Water shot out my nose when I read this...no joke!     I cant think of any other division in football that hates each other as much as the NFC East.  Bears/Vikings/Green Bay...nope.  Denver/KC/Oakland...uh-uh.  Pittsburgh/Cleveland/Cinci....I dont think so.  Every Dallas fan I know hates every player from Washington, Philly, or the NY Giants.  Even though the traditional rival of the Cowboys is the Redskins, I give them some respect.  I dont have any respect for any player from the Eagles or Giants.

A few years ago, a guy in my office who is a Giants fan, put a poster up in the office after the Giants won a game against the Cowboys.  He went around badmouthing the Cowboys and just making a major nuisance of himself.  When he wasnt looking I ended up ripping the poster off the wall and crumpling it up into a very small ball.  He found it a few days later in the back of one of his desk drawers.  He ended up going to HR and complaining about destruction of public property.  The pro-Cowboys HR director told him that he could not put anything up in the office that might offend others.  And since they didnt know who did it that there was nothing they could do.  I though that justice was truly served that day.
