With apologies to Louie Armstrong...

Maintaining the day's musical lane... 


I see Cowboy fans
Of silver and blue,
I see them crying,
Their season's through,
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world...

I see Dallas players,
Both white and black,
They roll their eyes, yell,

WHAT THE FUCK, DAK?

And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world...

 

Another playoff loss,
So pretty in the light
Everyone in Texas...
A Giants fan tonight.

And old Jerry Jones yells,
"The clock still says one!"
But it doesn't really matter
Cause his season's all done.


I hear the sports books cry,

Their hearts full of dread,
Cause "America's team"
Couldn't cover the spread, 
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.

This game was a life saver for Giants fans.

Dallas has everything we want; a great, versatile QB; two amazing running backs ; about 6 all pro wide receivers; the tight end to replace Jason Witten. The defense has superstars everywhere; at cornerback ( one guy with 11 interceptions this year ) ; at linebacker ( Vander Esch), and the rookie defensive MVP ( Parsons); All pros on the defensive line.....it goes on and on.

And they earned the game at home. Biased crowd and usually biased reps. Jerry Jones and his lovely. family.

And they lost to the upstart SF 49rs. In a weird way.

Lovely.

Actually a great weekend of football all around.

The Bills dominated the Patriots. A double enjoyment.

The Eagles were exposed as frauds.

And the Cowboys lost in heartbreaking fashion.

For once the pineapples belonged to the other guys.

One of my true joys in sports is watching Jerry Jones with dyspepsia.

The other is watching Upstate NYers at sports bars in their Cowboy gear crying about the refs in sports bars.

How about that woman on tv having a nervous breakdown /crying fit when her 'Boys were sucking.

Ahh....life can be sweet.

A somber note in the symphony of schadenfreude...Looks like Tom Brady's going to win the super bowl again.

Before the Eagles beat his Pats a few years ago, I was all for Tom winning super bowls for however long German blood transfusions, Mexican cartilage replacement, California dieting, and Brazilian sex can keep him limber. In that case, it's safe to guess that his last conscious thought would be about Eli Manning, of all goddamned people, beating him twice. Hilarious. But Nick Foles, of all goddamned people, ruined that. So now it's just Tom grimly and efficiently carving up teams with an endless barrage of 8-15 yard passes to infallibly wide open tight ends in the middle and wide receivers on the sideline. Gotta respect it, but it's become a bit stale.

And so...the end is near...
The Cowboys faced
The final curtain

And they fucked up and stunk up the joint.

Hmm, that doesn't quite fit...

Oh, it fits, JM, it fits! Hee-hee!

They lost to a Niners team that barely made the playoffs. In overtime.

They lost to a Niners team with an injured hand, who threw a key pick. And who kept "faking" throws after handing off, even when no one was looking at him. (What was that?)

They lost to a Niners team that looked as though it was trying to match them 1:1 in stupid penalties, and did not score in the 4th quarter.

They lost without ribbons. They lost without tags. They lost without packages, boxes, or bags. (Apologies to Dr. Seuss.)
