I'm not a Cowboys Hater but

I'm not a Cowboys hater as Marie, the publisher of The Burb, calls me in this month's issue. I am a Cowboys realist. The sad reality is that Jerry Jones is making it harder and harder to be a Cowboys fan these days. I grew up in a suburb of Dallas, Texas and could not imagine ever rooting for another NFL team...but damn that Jerry for making it harder to stay loyal to my team. We should have seen the writing on the wall when he fired Jimmy years ago. Then came one of the most embarrassing moments in franchise history...when he snatched the Lombardi Trophy out of Barry Switzer's hands in the Super Bowl XXX Post-Game Show. Smiling egotistically, Jerry Jones aka the Anti-Christ of football, is the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Every year we are fed false promises and lies about what this team is, and has been. Jerry is one of the most narcissistic owners ever in sports, and he is our owner.

This franchise was once great, but now it's just a shell of its former self, and there is no one to blame but Jerry Jones. As kids, we were all taught how great the Cowboys were in the 70's, and we watched with our own eyes as they won three Super Bowls in the 90's. That's when we had to start watching Jerry make one wrong move after another, thinking other NFL Franchises would just lay down for America's Team. Of course, it didn't quite happen that way.

Jerry brought in great coaches like Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey, and my favorite Dave Campo, to piss all over Tom Landry's legacy. Jerry let us, the tried and true Cowboys fans, suffer while he kept his eye on the prize. That prize being the Billion Dollar Green House in Arlington. He has gotten drunk with power and has said the only reason he brought in a real coach, aka Bill Parcells, is so that he could get the deal approved. Case-in-point, as soon as the Big Tuna is gone, we get Wade "golly gee" Phillips.

The bottom-line here is that Jerry doesn't care about us, us being the die-hard Cowboys fans I've been speaking of, or the product his team puts out on the field. He only cares about the bottom-line dollar, and that leaves all of us Cowboys fans suffering in the meantime.

As I have warned you in previous blogs, you should prepare yourself for 6-10 in 2011! Guess what? Jerry couldn't care less...just make sure you go see the team lose live at Jones World.

I look at myself in the mirror everyday as a Cowboys fan and I ask myself why is it that I'm still a fan. It's just getting tougher and tougher to come up with an answer now. I sincerely hope that I am wrong, and that the Cowboys win the Super Bowl in 2012, but history says that's not going to happen folks. History also says I will keep buying Cowboys' merch and cheering them on even if I don't know why.

The reason why I support an owner who doesn't support me escapes me, but I do. Go Cowboys... Suck it Jerry Jones!

Stand back...there is a hurricane coming through!

There used to be this horrible professional wrestler named Gregory Helms a.k.a. "The Hurricane" whose catchphrase was" Stand back...there is a hurricane coming through". That phrase reminds me of the mess the NCAA has found itself in once again because of The U a.k.a. Miami Hurricanes. The NCAA hasn't seen anything this nasty since they decapitated SMU in the late 80's. Sure USC, Ohio State, Auburn and North Carolina all cheated, but none of that compares to what the South Beach boys have been doing. Now the NCAA is faced with a giant mess asking themselves Who the hell is Nevin Shapiro? WTF is a Ponzi scheme?

After the NCAA saw the devastating aftermath of the Mustang execution, they said they would never again give the death penalty to a program. That opened up the flood gates.

Hey USC, we know you are cheating, so here is a slap on the wrist. Auburn, you bought a National Championship, and we let you. The mighty Ohio State, you are okay, just fire your lying coach and make him the patsy. Boise State, the ultimate underdog story, of course that's not cheating. The Oregon Ducks paying a guy to influence kids...no biggie. Miami did what? WTF?!?!?! Now we have a problem!

The Hurricanes make those other schools look like choir boys. Some examples of this would be gambling, sex, clubs, cars, yachts and many, many other things. I have some questions to throw out there: First off, how did they get away with everything for so long? Secondly, why did they suck so bad while they were doing it? Lastly, I don't know if you noticed, but that Miami football program that got paid hasn't been good in 15 years. Not one of those can be answered right now.

The other question I have for the NCAA is what now? Do you go back on your word and kill Hurricane U? Or do you just give them a slap on the wrist and go on about your business? I think you have no choice in the matter. You have to give them the death penalty. You also need to hold coaches and athletic directors responsible for these goings on. If you are a coach and get caught with a dirty program, you need to serve a 10-year probationary period. You can't be around, near, or associated with a program for at least 10 years. That would make you think twice about having boosters around wouldn't it? Maybe not!

All I know is that I am sick of college football cheats. The call is out NCAA! Stand up and kill the U! You have to do this, because if you don't, the next Hurricane that comes through here is going to be that of biblical proportions.

Prepare for 6-10

I have accepted the challenge and will take on this tremendous burden to be the bearer of bad news here on BigBadSportsDaddy.com. The news is that our own Dallas Cowboys are going to suck both this year and next! Sorry, but it’s true, damn true!

So as we prepare to break an all-time heat wave record here in DFW, the Dallas Cowboys are wrapping up training camp in San Antonio as they prepare for the upcoming 2011 season. Even though we have had a turbulent off-season, it looks like it's business as usual for the Dallas Cowboys. For example you have Jerry Jones with his eternal optimism that the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl again like it is the year 1995, you have new Head Coach Jason Garrett telling the media what they want to hear, and not to mention our new Defensive Coordinator Rex Ryan (whose dad Buddy is still Cowboys public enemy #1 by the way) making national news talking smack about the Eagles.
To the Eagles, huh Rex? Do you think that's really a good idea? The Eagles who went out and inked every Defensive Free Agent under the sun, and then traded for more. The Eagles whose QB is a hardcore puppy killing convict. To the Eagles, the team that will dominate the NFC East in 2011. Giving the Eagles bulletin board material in training camp is an even worst idea than calling Chuck Norris a puss.


Fact...the Eagles and Cowboys hate each other enough already! Fact...the Eagles did everything they needed to do in 2011 to improve their pathetic no trophy having franchise while America’s team did nothing. Fact...this season is going to get ugly for Cowboys fans.
The popular opinion with both hardcore homer Cowboys fans and national media alike is that Tony Romo will be the Cowboys' savior in 2011. Where did this come from? Tony Romo is a glorified Chris Miller. T-Rom as D-Bags like to call him, is just good enough to keep his job but not good enough to get the job done. Is he better than what we had last year? Of Course! Is he an elite NFL QB? Hell no...not even close!
The O-line could be five fat girls at a Hanson concert and nobody would know the difference. The Running Back situation is a huge cluster F! The D has more problems than the USA credit rating. Overall, if I were grading this team, I would give them a D for Disaster.
If you are a Cowboys fan, then you need to prepare for what looks to be a 6-10 season. If you are like me, you should do some extra fantasy research. Mark my words and take my advice hardcore football fan...your Fantasy team will be your only distraction from The Dallas Cowboys suckiness in 2011.
