Kudos are in order
Posted by TFG on January 8th, 2012
For the Big Boggy and their Texans, for adequately representing the Texas state religion of football in the NFL. Which is something the Romo*-Jones clusterfark can’t manage any more, if they ever could.
It’s weird pulling for a Houston team, but never let it be said that I wasn’t a true Texas sports supporter, if not a very loud one. It would be better if the Silver Star was representing in their conference, but you can’t have everything, and really, their flounderings have just become an embarrassment of the first order.
Besides, two World Series in a row for my beloved Rangers, who I never thought would get there, makes up 1000 times over, for the decline and fall of the Pokes. Ten more days on the clock to sign the soon-to-be-Cy-Young Yu Darvish, the 6’5″ Iranian-Japanese** twirler. There are still mumblings in the edge of the tweetverse about the Rangers snagging big, fat cheeseburger-loving Prince Fielder who would bring beast-mode to the BPiA and make the right field bleachers a hard-hat zone. Pitchers and catchers report in 50(ish) days. There’s your light at the end of the sports tunnel, as Ball of the Foot winds down and we only have gangsta hoopstas to watch for February, unless you’re into hockey.
* I said five (six?) years ago, to my little brother with the Ph.D. from the Big Boggy who does naught but tweet these days, that the Cowboys would never go anywhere with that spaz. Tell me I’m wrong, apologists.
** And ain’t that a weird romance? To make it weirder, they met in FLA.

The demise of the cowboys is truely sad. The cowboys have been horrins the last 15 years. The longest itime span for shiity teams in franchise histroy. Doubt it will change until Jerry Jones dies
It is a far, far cry from the days of yore, in Stan’s back room, and shutting down Greenville Ave. for the Super Bowl. I worry about what my grandsons will do with their mis-spent youths.
I’m sure one or two new ‘dives’ will spring up in the neighborhood; don’t waste your nights stayin’ awake worryin’ about it – you’ll be so old, you’ll need all the sleep you can get by then . . .
Don’t forget the Daytona 500, also in February. The Shootout is the 18th, and the Big Race is the 26th.
I definitely haven’t forgotten, I just wonder what kind of NASCAR we’re going to get this year with all the financial shakiness. I shouldn’t be, given Smoke’s run last year, I guess. Except he signed that damn Danica…good business move, but gack, I don’t want to watch her clog up the tracks.
Yes there will never be Big Butt rejoicing on Greenville again.
Romo is just good enough to keep Fantasy people happy and Jerruh as GM. For Cowboys fans accustomed to QBs who lead teams to Super Bowls (or even playoff victories!), neither of these does much for us; indeed, the latter has been highly counterproductive. Romo is good, some of the time, but he’s not great, and not even good enough of the time to take what Jerruh puts around him to the next level. 8-8 with a bunch of “oh so close!” losses was just about right for this bunch.
Of course, you were right years ago on this TFG. My (youthful?) optimism from back then is long gone.
The Texans are cool, but not as cool as the old Oilers. But the Texans and Timmy T. are about the only things worth watching in the NFL nowadays.
Well, scratch Timmy T. after the Patriots beat-down. OTH, a QB can’t be any better than his team and Tebow’s wideouts just can’t reliably shake their defenders, nor his offensive line, for that matter. All the best to Houston against the Ravens.
