How
many movies are classic and then completely ruined by a shitty sequel (Hey Anchorman 2!)? Well be prepared for the NFL equivalent of that this Sunday night
when the Cowboys and Eagles take the field for a winner-take-all showdown
between the two hottest teams in the…
…wait, what’s that? The Cowboys needed a last second, fourth and
ten touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Demarco Murray just to make this game
count for something? In doing so they
snapped a two game losing streak? They
also lost their quarterback for the rest of the season (regardless of what Jerry
Jones tells you) and their defense hasn’t stopped anyone all year except for
the Eagles (who were on their third-string quarterback at that point)?
What’s that? The
Eagles lost just two weeks ago to the lowly Vikings without their only legitimate offensive weapon?
What’s that? The
Cowboys just signed a math teacher who hasn’t played pro football in two years
to be their backup (I really like Kitna, but damn if that’s not desperation)?
What’s that? The
Cowboys coaches are likely coaching for their jobs and said as much before last
week’s Redskins game?
Okay, never mind.
Maybe this won’t be the game of the year after all, and whoever wins
will most likely be bounced in the first round of the playoffs, ensuring
themselves a spot in the draft-order come this spring that will likely amount in
not much (and for a team as defensively deficient as the Cowboys, they need
something much more than “not much”).
Will I still watch it? Sure. I endured the Dave Campo years in Dallas, so
I can endure this. Plus, if the Cowboys
lose, at least my girlfriend will be happy, and if she’s happy, then I’m…happy
(that’s the right answer, right?).
