Staubach is a pillar of the community. If you must hate pick Drew Pearson. Incidental contact, BTW, and going for the ball. That never gets called interference. Greatest play in football histry in the pros and better then Flutie's
Redemtion at last for the Pearson push off of Nate Wright in '75. I want this one BAD.
I know I went on about this in the other thread but that was a real lousy day. I hate Staubach and the Cowgirls (pass for Barber since he was a Gopher).
with BC.

The Vikes started playing quite well after the second half in Chicago, they have put up some great numbers in the last 6 quarters.
Isn't losing to the G-Men twice, worse than losing a very close game in chicago?
The cardinals game was a hurtin, but they were the last year NFC Champions, and they trompled GB.
So as you might conclude, I don't consider those 2 losses, as a huge let down.

Cannot hold them against the Cowboys anymore than you could praise the Vikes for beating a listless, lost, floundering team devoid of energy or motivation. They always get up for the Cowboys and have had their number their last four-five encounters.

You and I have literally nothing to do with the outcome of any game. We sit and watch. To put a football game on such a high list of priority in ones life is silly.
We are able to sit here this weekend and watch TV, because many people died to provide us this freedom. Never forget.
It is a past time sport which provides entertainment, and no more.
With that being said, flukie losses, are still put in the loss column. The Cowboys lost in GB, when GB was only playing so-so. Flozell could not contain the defensive pressure. Minn schooled Gb on football this year.
All in all, I expect a good game, but the outcome does not dictate where my life heads tomorrow.
Peace and perspective

Footnote: Congrats to the Vikes! What a sound spanking that was. Cowboys had their chances, but the Vikings took control on defense. Farvre was nothing short of masterful! I hope Farvre does well next week. I have no dog in the NFC final, but always tend to support the team eliminating my boys!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSound spanking is what it was. Romo unable to find space because he was harried all game long and was unable to make his own space. Play calling questionable as well. Runs up the middle were working then they decide to go to the outside and every time they tried this they were stopped! Losing Flozzel Adams did not help either since they were then unable to stop Jared Allen. I would have moved Colombo to left tackle based on experience!

I am very partial to the State of texas, and what it means to our great country.
I stood in front of the Alamo, and just slipped years in to the past.
At a time where our country seems to take such abuse by other nations, I am thin skinned, but not at all toward you. I was reading the book about Pat Tillman, and it just affected me at the time of that writing.
Good luck with your Team next year, they will put another run together!
