This is an open letter to Mr. Wade Phillips
So Mr. Jones gave you your walking papers eh? Can’t say I blame him in-light-of-every-catastrophic-failure that has occurred this season.
In all honesty, he had to do something despite this season’s disastrous 1-7 start didn’t he? I mean last season the Cowboys made an exceptional post season appearance and whipped up on the hated Philadelphia Eagles and while doing so put to rest a couple of dreadful streaks:
1). the last time the Cowboys won a play-off game, those silly Rangers were all the rage
Today the Rangers can lock up the West Title with a win and an Oakland loss.
It’s about time!
So break out the champagne as we celebrate!
Regardless though if not today or tomorrow or the next if and when they clench, the Rangers will lock up the Division, so please prepare to bust out the confetti and toasts!
Let the boy’s party and Michael Young gloat in the limelight as the team celebrates the first Texas Division Title Win in North Dallas.
KUDOS!
Donovan McNabb has a new lease on life with the Washington Redskins after Andy Reid and the Eagles dealt him away ‘within the division’. Does that move make sense? Only time will tell, but currently it seems to be just what Donovan needed: a clean break from the Eagles and he now plays for a coach that loves quarterbacks for what they are, not what he wants to make them.
The decision though has proven to be a blunder on the Eagles part in terms of what can now be classified in epic proportions.
Please chime in: Is Andy Reid of the Philadelphia Eagles bona fide insane or does he just hate Donovan McNabb?
The question would be easily answered if you were to candidly ask either him or McNabb, but both have and will continue to artfully dodge such hot topic questions: they have moved on, but for the record I would like a straight answer. It is left for us on the outside to determine.
Watch Out NFL, The Bears are Too Legit 2 Quit.
While I am a Cowboy fan down to the marrow in my bones, I need to state for the record (and admit my perverse excitement at watching the Cowboys lose in this instance) my perceptions about the Chicago Bears. While most of us in Texas are lamenting the lackluster performance of the on-field Cowboys, I think some love should be given to Chicago.
Brett Favre is feeling the results of not having Rice/Driver to toss to and also seems to suffer from skipping training and lingering injuries.
Do you think he is washed up otherwise?
The man is OLD

The Cowboys will be 0-3 after they go to Houston in week three and get skull thumped by the very good Houston Texans. It looks like this week’s answer to all the current woes of a shake-up for field goal kicking didn’t have the impact Jerry thought it would.
So what is next? Change the blue Gatorade to red? Discount the parking fee at the Death Star by 33%?
All kidding aside, I can get specific on all the areas where I see problems, but I don’t want to get caught up on the granular. Everything that is wrong with the Cowboys seems to easily fall into a few generalized categories and those have been in place for years, albeit some of them in revolving incarnations:

Within a week from now, the Texas Rangers will lock up the AL Western Division title and advance to the MLB play-offs. Or conversely it may take a few days longer as they prepare for post season by adjusting the lineup and playing the fringe bench players to have a final look-see and determine who merits being on the roster for the first round matchup. Either way let me repeat.
The RANGERS have plans to play in October!
Is Brett Favre done?
is he too old to lead the team down the field?
Looking shaky in the pocket?
If you watched the NFL season opener where the Saints hosted the Vikings and listened to the talking heads at the end of the game where the Saints won 14-9 as I did, you have to think Favre is long in the tooth and done; the question becomes should he have retired and Minnesota moved on.
Do you buy into this hype?
I think he is the best bet for the Vikings and will deliver going forward. Or he could just up and retire. This may be unchartered water.
Last night the Rangers tried to stop the bleeding that has gushed forth lately in Camden Yards against the Orioles by sending out Ace Cliff Lee to follow up a mercurial performance by C.J. Wilson. The previous night Lewis performed at a personal best level in terms of strikeouts and completely shut down the Oriole’s bats and did his part to put an end to recent woes in Baltimore.
After dishing out a 30-3 epic shellacking still in recent memory at Baltimore, the Rangers have become endemic of late when in town, and cannot seem to put together what it takes to get consecutive wins and close out a series.
