“I think maybe this decision to stay here has a lot more to do with the Dallas Cowboys in 2007 and what the Dallas Cowboys can be in 2008.”

Yes and what the Cowboys will be in 2009 when you replace ol’ Tubby McLardpants as head coach. Oh and there’s that little matter of $3 million clams Jerry Jones reportedly deposited in your bank account.
What a smart young man.

Well, maybe someone should have been checking in on Terrell Owens, rehabbing from an injury, who was eyeing up some Mexican real estate of his own:

The reporter there (according to The Big Lead, where this clip was stolen) is Inez Sainz, who works for TV Azteca. Now who is it that was distracted?

No one gave much of a chance to the San Diego Chargers on the road against the defending Super Bowl champion Colts, but two tipped balls turned into interceptions that killed deep scoring drives and suddenly Indianapolis was in a dogfight late in the game. Still, you’d think Indy could overcome a team that had its best running back on the sideline, a team being helmed by Billy Volek after Philip Rivers left with a knee injury.

Such was not the case. Volek, who’s last meaningful playing time came in 2005 for the Tennessee Titans, led an 87-yard, eight-play drive that ended with a quarterback sneak from the one-yard line to put the Bolts in front 28-24 with almost five minutes to play. The Colts mounted a comeback for the win but was stymied twice on downs.

But fear not because there is a Manning advancing to the conference championships, and his name is Eli. (I fully expected during the post-game interviews that he would look directly into the camera and say something like, “I won and Peyton lost. Can you love me now, dad?”) The New York Giants survived a close game in Dallas to upend the Cowboys 21-17, advancing to the NFC Championship for the first time since the 2000 season.

But enough about the winners, what about the losers?

Tony Romo: Loser with a hot girl friend.
Terrell Owens: Crybaby loser.
Wade Phillips: Fat Overweight Rotund Husky loser.
Jerry Jones: Creepy, ghost-face loser.
Cowboy Nation thought for sure this was the year, but the ‘Boys have been sucking wind the past month, so is it a huge surprise they came up short against the Giants? Okay, may a little surprising, but me thinks that Fatty may have been out-coached a bit. When it became clear the offensive line was gassed in the fourth quarter, they were still sending Owens on deep routes, forcing Romo to look for Patrick Crayton and his three-way partner Jason Witten. The middle of the field was open and New York had their practice squad defending in man coverage, you’d think the Cowboys could have scored more than three second-half points.

No matter what, though, you can’t blame this one on Jess; she wasn’t there (at least on camera).

“You guys love to say, `Oh, he is coming off the beach and he is dating Jessica Simpson’ … please!” Strahan said during a news conference yesterday after the Giants practised for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys in the NFC semifinal.

“Heck, if Jessica Simpson wanted to date me, I may give her a shot,” the recently divorced Strahan said.

Brilliant!

So maybe after the season is finally over, Tony and Jessica can go one better than their Mexican three way with Jason Whitten. And I can’t wait for that sex tape to hit the Interwebs.

Isn’t Jerry Jones a powerful enough man to keep Romo in the country? You’d think he’d have the Dallas police lock his star QB in a jail cell to keep him from frolicking in tropical locales with beautiful blondes. Or maybe they should lock up Simpson — just because.

I wonder how much money Joe Simpson has laid against the ‘Boys in next week’s game?

Brett Favre: Hi, my name is Brett Favre and I wear Wrangler jeans. I also play quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. At least I do when I’m not hurt. Which I am. Did someone say vicodin?

Tony Romo: He’s not my idol, he’s not my idol, he’s not my idol. Oh, he’s out of the game? Dammit, now how am I supposed to beat my idol?

Aaron Rodgers: Dude, the old man got hurt, what are we gonna do now? Carlyle Holiday played QB in college, let’s put him in.

Terrell Owens: Just because this game is the NFL Network, ESPN still gets to show the highlights, right?

Meow meow watch Thursday night meow, but NFL Network meow meow cable meow. Meow? Meow meow Time Warner Cable meow NFL meow, meow meow meatheads meow! Meow meow asshats! Meow meow shove it up meow meow!

Meow meow sports bar, maybe Hooters meow. Meow meow pissed meow.

Let me say that again: Wade Phillips has a daughter who is a dancer at an LA nightclub.

I hope for the sake of the patrons at Blackout that the Cowboys head coach has some recessive genes in the looks department.

It’s not like el Romo needed any help in the romance department, but now there are millions more reasons for the lovelies to start lining up at his door.
