Stand By Your Man..........

In an effort to provide some much needed levity to Dallas Cowboy fans everywhere, I will avoid bringing up their repeat excessive celebration penalty. Oops, my bad. How about the halftime pep talk by head coach and spiritual leader Wadeface? Oh, thats right the Vikings took the second half kickoff 95 yards to tie the game and thwart any momentum Dallas had. At least Tony Romo didn't throw an interception in the fourth quarter which led to a game winning score. Dammit, he did!

Remember this Cowboy fans: you may have Wadeface but the Chargers have Norv. Much to the chagrin of Dallas fans everywhere they are a 1-4 team, despite having as much talent as anyone in the NFC, if not the league. That said, the west coast version of the Cowboys are losing to worse teams week in and week out. Consolation? I didn't think so. When all else fails it becomes imperative for Cowboy fans, players,etc. to remember that at least their quarterback is not being accused of texting pictures of his junk to random women. There you have it, the Dallas Cowboys can now claim the moral high ground. In less than four months owner Jerry Jones will have to parade around teams and fans(other than his own), during Superbowl week like PT Barnums stagehand. Maybe Wadeface can perform tricks at halftime of the big game....like a barking seal at Disney World. How about Tony Romo competing in a punt, pass, and interception competition alongside fourteen year olds?

Tonight's Baseball release: Texas -110 over the Yankees. While I expected the common man to be spotted on every corner bar donning a Cliff Lee jersey, much to my surprise this has not been the case. A majority of schmoes I speak to believe the Yankees will not only score some runs off Lee but more impressively, Andy Pettite will circle the wagons like he has done in the past and pitch a gem. Once again, what are the odds of all my dopey friends getting this one right?

* I would be remiss if I did not mention this poignant news story regarding Senator Barney Frank's boyfriend. In a "must see" journalistic moment for the ages, Barney's boyfriend, James Ready, is seen heckling Republican Sean Bielat, through a series of comments. As my audience already knows, Propick Sports does not make political or lifestyle judgements. That being said, in an effort to "stand by his man", Mr. Ready "willing and able" comes up small (no pun intended), as he resorts to goofball heckling. I fervently believe that lovers of politicians are best seen and not heard. Just one sports handicapping genius' opinion.
