Well At Least They Suck Too

5:16 am EST December 21st, 2008 | Sports | 6 Comments

My football season is now reduced to pointing out that the Dallas Cowboys are just as sucky as the Redskins. Oh well, its something.

All the hoopla surrounding the farewell to Texas Stadium was supposed to fire up the Dallas Cowboys. Well, it got to the Baltimore Ravens, too.

Feeling like they were a hand-picked foe set up for failure, the Ravens refused to play the stooge.

Matt Stover, who sold programs outside the stadium as a kid growing up in the area, kicked four field goals to wipe out an early deficit, then Willis McGahee and Le’Ron McClain ripped off long, record runs each time the Cowboys got close in the final minutes, sending Baltimore to a 33-24 victory on Saturday night and a step closer to the playoffs.

‘It wasn’t a homecoming game. It was more like a mock funeral,’ McGahee said. ‘We spoiled their day. It was probably the best concert ever in Irving, Texas.’

    Any day the Cowpies lose is a good day. Any day they lose to the RAVENS – at home, especially – is farkin’ fantastic.

    The Harbaugh Era is off to a galloping start…

    You’d think an astute businessman like Jerry would understand “you get what you pay for”. It’s isn’t brain surgery, y’know, it’s Economics 101.

    After the Jimmy Johnson years, it’s obvious that Jerry wanted a shredded jockstrap of coach instead of somebody, uh, reasonably competent, but doing what you’re told doesn’t automatically translate into wins and as long as Jerry stays stubbornly myopic, the worse the Cowboys are gonna be. Throughout his mundane career, Wade has shown that he’s a above-average defensive coordinator but a lousy coach. As Professor Parcells said, “You are what your record says you are”. Then again, pride goeth before another humiliating exit from the playoffs.

    It’s a good thing Jerry didn’t build his 1.3 billion dollar stadium the same way he built the Cowboys, huh?

    Let’s talk FOOTBALL!!

    My team is the Hamilton Tiger Cats! When I was a kid (back before there were cars or planes) my Ti-Cats were in the play-offs for 11 straight years! Glory! Since then – since the 80′s – not so much. OK, hardly ever. Oskee wee wee, Oskee waa waa, Let’s go Ti-Cats, Eat em raw raw!

    In England (where I’ve lived on and off for about 4 years) my REAL FOOTBALL team (soccer is an American term to disguise the fact you don’t actually play Football) is Southampton Saints. Relegated to the Championship League (from the Premier League) two years ago and now on target to get knocked down to Division 1. Ye gods!

    Since I’ve moved to Nanaimo, in Beautiful British Columbia (that’s the Pacific Coast for my American heathen friends) I’ve gotten to like the BC Lions and Seattle’s 2008 loosers the Seahawks.

    Looks like Oliver isn’t the only one that has learned “tough love” from his football team(s).

    OW:
    Hail to the Redskins!! I might live in the Philly area, but I am not a native and so I can’t stand the Eagles and their insufferable fans. Who did they beat in their three game win streak? Arizona? Frauds. Just look at their game today. The NFC West stinks this year. The Giants were distracted and the Browns are hideous. So one good win out of three.

    OW, I don’t wanna hear it from any ‘skins fan. Try being a Jets fan. After long years (no, decades) of waiting, we had what looked like a squad that would go deep into January. Now? Now I’m just waiting for my refund for playoff tickets to come in the mail.

    Actually, the Cowboys are not nearly as sucky as the Redskins as the Cowboys can still make the playoffs. All they have to do is beat the Eagles and if the Redskins can do it, well …
