Okay NOW I will admit it

...The Cowboys are out of it.

As I walked out on the streets of Laredo.
As I walked out on Laredo one day,
I spied a Young cowboy wrapped in white linen,
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.

"I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy."
These words he did say as I boldly walked by.
"Come an' sit down beside me an' hear my sad story.
"I'm shot in the breast an' I know I must die."


BTW I refuse to blame Romo when I saw so many sorry attempts at tackling by the defense. So many penalties by the line and the specialty teams.
A brutha can just do so much.
And Yoko Romo wasn't even there so we can't blame a girl.


So NOW who must I root for?
Anyone want to "witness to me" for their team?
I'm leaning either New England due to Wes Welker being a Texas Tech kid
or Green Bay due to the fact that Brett Favre is a phenom BEYOND pretty Tom from the Pats.

Anyone want to recruit a fan?

What's wrong with cowboys? I haven't a clue; but I do know that I love German Shepherds ever so much! They're so soft, sweet, and cute...

That was just....just....depressing. And you're right as rain, Richard, Romo ought not have the whole bucket o' blame dumped on him, as the defensive line was dismal, the offensive line didn't protect him at all the longer the game went on, and the team racked up penalty after penalty.

Dollars to donuts Trinity High School's football team (the state's 5A football champions for '07) could have taken out the Cowboys yesterday, the way the 'Boys played.

Come to that, Nolan Catholic High's Vikings probably could have.

Agnes Arbuckle's Academy for Genteel Young Ladies might have been able to take 'em.

It's going to be interesting to see what player and staff changes are made 'tween now and next season.

That says it all for me. I'm more of a Favre fan than a Packer fan. I've lived in Wisconsin the whole pro football career of Brett in Green Bay. I've never seen anyone quite like him.

Of course the Pats and the Packers have to get to the Super Bowl first. Counting chickens before they hatch and all that.

I'm just glad to hear that the Colts lost (OK, and the Cowboys)...and hoping New England follows in their footsteps!

This is what football is all about. It's snowing, it's cold, it's third down, it's Brett Favre!


Go ahead and watch it again. You know you want to.

My church is in Illinois. I haven't made the move yet and still live in Wisconsin. That being said, I admit I don't know where I am at times.

When I am no longer a Packers fan, and that may happen when Brett retires, I will be a Rams fan, being from the Illinois part of the Greater St. Louis Metro Area. Being from Southern Illinois bascially means that I am not a fan of anything Chicago.

I say go for Green Bay. If they keep running the ball the way they did this weekend they cannot be stopped.
