1. Mayhaps I am missing some context.

Damn it, we voted on this. Only malaise can do this kind of thing.

[pinboy3niner]

2. Exactly. Our vote must be respected. I don't know about you, but...

...I'm calling Congress. Right fucking now!

[Skink]

3. Malaise 1 and 0

not even close really.

[NuclearDem]

4. Shockingly, that didnt help much.

5. I think the OP is gloating about the Cowboys' win over the NY Giants in today's season opener

Making the Cowboys 1-0, and providing a respite from news and politics. Looks like somebody is very happy.

6. Ah, well my total lack of interest in football handicapped me on this one.

7. Romans had bread and circuses America has football and free Papa Johns pizza

[backscatter712]

10. I'll admit some of the circuses are entertaining...

For example, the Broncos's curbstomping of the Ravens last Thursday...

8. Thanks Skink! It's good to know....

....there are a few of us who can appreciate a good athletic competition between two teams....I enjoy watching NASCAR ...Clint Eastwood movies too...it doesn't make me any less of a progressive....

That being said......HOW 'BOUT THOSE COWBOYS!!!!

And GO TEXANS on Monday night!

9. LOLOLOLOL!

When and if The Romonians make it to the playoffs and win ONE game, get back to me.
Cheering for them is like rooting for Wile E. Coyote.

11. You're probably right......

Unfortunate, but probably true! I'm not laying the last few seasons on Romo though...they had a swiss cheese offensive line last year, and Garret should have been gone two seasons ago...instead they fire the defensive coordinator and grab offensive backs over the off season. Jerry jones doesn't care, he's got his new high tech stadium!

13. Sorry. Romo has never come through in the crunch.

He has had many other guilty helpers though.
Until Jerry Jones gives a good GM or coach who knows personnel control, he will never have any consistent success. If he wants to be the decider, fine. However, he has proven he does not have what it takes to build a great team.

I watched Bobby Beatherd build the Redskins into Super Bowl champs and contenders. He did it through the draft, but more importantly he could find talented free agents. He gave Joe Gibbs, a great coach, very good players to work with. Gibbs, to his credit, was more than up to the task of using those players to the best advantage.

Jerry Jones can have absolute control and mediocrity or he can be an owner who consults with but defers to a good GM and probably has more success.

Jones played at Arkansas. Why he thinks that make him qualified to access players is beyond me. Some experience in one area of a sport does not transfer acuity to another area. If he was any good, it would have been apparent by now.

14. You're spot on!

It's sad....there were some good proven coaches floating around 18 months ago, most notably Jeff Fisher and Bill cowher....but I doubt any self respecting coach with a proven record would want to play for Jones...same for the GM position. There's a lot of talent on that team, but talent needs a good coach to make them run smoothly. Garret hasn't figured it out yet, and Jones definetly doesn't have a clue. Great opening game but I'm not holding my breath for them ever again. Jones is determined to make the cowboys the Cleveland browns of the southwest.

12. This should be in the lounge,

don't ya think?
