A moment of silence for the recently departed, as the Cowboys were defeated at HOME, with the bookies betting heavily on the 'Boys to win! I really shouldn't rub it in, but all of the high and mighty that were spouting off about the play-offs, were are you now? How about the posers that jumped on the bandwagon, and thought you had a sure thing? Did the rumors of Jessica Simpson ruin it? Doubtful. I will divulge my team ( Chicago ), and will NOT defend them, as they are a Cinderella team at best. The old hag that owns the team refuses to spent ANY money for quality players, but will take the old, run down, desperate players that still want to play, and get them CHEAP!  All the money that Dallas spent trying to get quality players will have to admit that they got Tank Johnson from Chicago, when Chicago had no more excuses to keep him on the roster! Terrell Owens cried like a baby when the cameras were turned on him. It is good talk when he was winning, but he needs to " Man Up " and admit he was bested by the better team, or will he continue to make excuses because Tony wasn't throwing to him enough, which wasn't the case. Wasn't that the same argument he used in Philly? Dallas is a solid team, as good as any top ranked team, but TO's crying and the belief that Jess brought the team down just prove to me that the team still has some problems to correct.

I heard on the radio this morning that Michael Vick stands to lose about $150 million dollars from his involvement with dog fighting. The Falcons, endorsements and his "admission" of guilt will also take a mil or so from his own money. Looks like golden boy just got served, and his "dogs" were the ones that did him in. Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

I recently attended a Nationals Baseball game here in D.C.. Since it was my son and I's only professional sporting event to date, I have to say, that the local fans should be VERY upset to call the Nats their team. We arrived early and watched the team practice. This was the ONLY time the team even showed any energy at all. Ryan Zimmerman caught one line-drive out in the 1st inning, then after that, he should have rode the bench, for all the good he was doing. Pitching was NON-existant, no base running at all (since hardly anybody got on base!), and the first baseman looked like he could start for the Redskins, as a defensive lineman. Manny Acta has his work cut out for him, espscially if he thinks this group of little leaguers are going to be any kind of contender at all. Send all of these "players" back to the sandlot, and practice their basics, because if they don't I can't see many of them returning next season. Bring back Frank Robinson!
