Interruption for THE BOYS

We interrupt your regularly scheduled baseball broadcast for a little bit of non-baseball news. I try to keep my talk about other sports to a minimum, but I needed to make a quick post to say...

WOOOHOOO!
Dallas Cowboys - NFC East Champions!

Jason Witten: you are lucky you (1) are so darned cute, and (2) caught the game-winning touchdown (with 18 seconds left!), because now I forgive you for fumbling the ball on the 1 yard-line.

John Kitna: I thought I saw you holler "goddamnit" on the sidelines when your kicker missed the FG. I don't think Jesus likes it when you swear.

Tony Romo: Brett Favre may be my all-time greatest sports crush, and the most perfect man to ever walk the planet... but you're my QB1.

(Good) Roy Williams, Cory Redding, Shaun Rogers: you may be Lions, but I still must give props to my Longhorns. Even when they wear the enemy colors.

(Evil) Roy Williams: you may be a Sooner, and therefore I will always call you Evil Roy Williams - but you and me? We're cool.

T.O.: you (and Randy Moss) are the reason football is so damned exciting. More TD catches and popcorn-chugging celebrations next time, please.

And now back to your regularly scheduled broadcasting...

You should be rooting for a real team like ummm say the New England Patriots who clinched their division 3 weeks ago. :D

No way.

I rooted for the Patriots against Philly in the SBowl, because the Iggles are evil. But that's as far as I can go.

Besides, the Cowboys are AMERICA'S TEAM.

I love how any mention of any team that's not the Patriots automatically brings out the anonymous bashing comments. Why does mentioning the Cowboys always turn into a feud with Patriots fans? It happens over at Ladies..., too.

I mean, I understand if you were Eagles or Redskins fans, and therefore the sworn enemy of Cowboys fans.

But this post doesn't even MENTION the Patriots, or have anything at all whatsoever to do with them... so why the hatin'?

I don't root for my quarterbacks based on (a) how they look, or (b) who they date. Curt Schilling isn't GQ model material, but I still worship him.

GOD, Melissa, in one sentence, you managed to kick me in the dick twice. CHRISTMAS IS A TIME TO SAY "I LOVE YOU," BETCH.

That one was for Josh Beckett, Clare. He sends his love to you, and says: "COWBOYS RULE, EAGLES SUCK".

Aww, why do people fight over this? I'm a Pats fan but the Cowboys have been kicking ass and I think T.O. is awesome...I really hope it's a Pats/Cowboys Super Bowl, and that it's a very close game and that Moss and T.O. each get six TD catches or something. My ideal outcome for it would be different than yours...but I don't hate the Cowboys by any means. And if the Pats get knocked out then I will be rooting for Dallas all the way.
