I watched that finish at the airport. Possibly the biggest choke i've ever seen!
I can't imagine what it was like to be there last night. I had to work, so I couldn't watch on TV. I agonized over every excrutiating word written about it this morning. But watching? Live? Ouch.
I think I saw Bryant's face on the goat trailer and Shockey played like a girl. How 'bout them Cowboys!!
Anyway, I enjoy reading your rag, even though I'm in Texas. Keep up the good work!
Forgot to include this info: Players jerseys of all kinds fill the stadium. Almost all of the dark blue variety. The most popular current player, by far, is Jeremy Shockey (who also got the loudest pregame cheer).
Of course, there are also the jerseys that raise eyebrows, like the No. 2 Rodney Williams (failed punter from last season) and No. 94 Michael Brooks (linebacker from the Dan Reeves era).
I fear that I will be writing a similar letter to The Almighty in two weeks when I travel to watch my beloved Bears open the new Soldier Field against the hated Green Bay Packers. The stadium is a monstrosity from the outside, the Bears have played horribly so far and they are 4-18 against their fiercest rival since that ass clown Favre came into the league.
In addition, unbelievably, they asked the NFL to schedule the opener against the Packers. Don't they have any clue? As a fan, I want to show up on that night -- an historic night -- and see the Bears win. I have no interest in showing up and watching that turd Favre march up and down the field at will. I really hate that guy!
Why, oh why, couldn't they have requested the Cardinals? It would have been so nice to go to the opening of the new stadium and watch a win. Instead, our fate is sealed.
I see a pattern here...
Have you noticed every time that Shockey trash talks or says something inappropriate about a person and/or a whole team--the Giants lose to them? Tape his mouth shut because the Tuna is not a homo he is the coach of the team that beat you in OT Monday night. Granted, the Cowboys did not play their best game they just out played the Giants in the first half. But as history has proven, the Cowboys always have the lead in the first half with the Giants, and then the Giants always comeback and win...NOT THIS MONDAY NIGHT! Yayyyyy!
I love the link to about sports groupies. I am friends with a NHL player, and it amazes me what women offer him. He and I go out to bars locally (we are just friends) and women proposition him right in from of me-how do these women know he isn't with me? Or that I am not his wife? Truth be told- the real sports groupies don't care. He is always telling me tales of the sports groupies (a/k/a puck suckers)and at times I am even shocked and I am far from prude. One night he pointed out a groupie that he nailed and he later found out that she slept with 1/2 of the Eagles, a few of the Phillies one of the Sixers and another one of his teamates. He was a rookie, it was his first groupie and he didn't know that she was the most used piece of equipment in the gym. We laugh about it because he is the only one that didn't have to by her anything (tits, jewelry, etc.).
Given the history of both of these teams going in and the fact that it is the Cowboys for God's sake, I was as shocked as anyone to see them pull off a win.
Despite the outcome I thought the tension was epic for a Monday night game.
My two favorite teams are my hometown Saints (I know, I know, lay off) and ANYONE who plays the Dallas Cowboys in the Post Tom Landry era.
Sints are giving way to my Texans (cheerleader "magazine", not calendar, due out soon and let me tell you, compliments to the plastic surgeons)
I think Giant's problem is Fassel. Something about him makes me feel that (despite his apparent football acumen [I mean how in the hell could he have "arrived" otherwise])he just seems to not have the players with him.
Since it is a bye week for my team- the Cowboys- and my hometown team- the Eagles ( I know that the Eagles blow)- I have put my money on the Giants this week. If they can't beat the Redskins, then they might as well pack up their shit and call it a season.
Seriously, I put $ on the game and also took them in my office pool--they better fucking show up to this game. Looks like the Eagles and the Giants are going to be looking for new coaches next season...
Hopefully the Dolphins show up Sunday night because we can't afford to lose to the Bills, although the Bills are un-stoppable right now. I can't handle another loss, especially when I'm flying from CT to Miami to see the game!!!
Sorry, Livia-- but my $ is on the Bills, too:)
