NFL REVIEW

Hey everybody... thanks for checking back in. Today I am gonna blow off a little steam about a few topics related to my favorite sport in this world... the NFL.
I suppose I will get the angst of my fanhood out of the way first in relation to my beloved Cowboys. They lost a tough one in Foxboro to the Patriots on Sunday. The Defense played out of their minds the whole game but got leaned on one too many times as Tom Brady did his best Joe Montana impersonation and led the Pats to a great win against my Boys. Romo played well and everyone wants to give the coach shit for being so tight assed down the stretch. But in all honesty if he decides to go for throat and toss the ball around like he did against Detroit and Romo gets picked off... then they would say he was a dumbass for putting Romo in that spot. I like the way the Boys played. They showed a ton of heart and I can assure you all that there isnt a team in the NFC that wants this team to hit their stride in late december. The offensive line is young and could be a much more solid unit by Xmas. If the run game comes around and they find the right rhythm they could be a dangerous team. It doesnt seem like they have learned to work as a solid group up front. They are all talented  but they just havent gelled yet. Romo is another story all together. I like they guy. People who scream for him to lose his job have a short memory of the nightmare it was at QB before he took over for Bledsoe. The endless parade of disfuctional no-talents riddled the Cowboys roster started when Arrington hit Aikman on the sideline. Cunningham, Wright, Carter, Stoener, Leaf, Testaverde, Hutchinson, Henson, etc.. the list goes on and on. Romo has brought excitement and yes... even some stability. I like the leadership he has exhibited this year. The one thing I know about being a cowboy fan is that its never as bad as the media makes it seem and its never as good. The Cowboys are a polarizing organization and people either lovem or hatem.... I dont expect them to win the Super Bowl this year but I am proud to see that under Jason Garrett this team is competitive every game and they play with passion and intensity. They dont get blown out of any games and they have enough talent to play with anyone in the NFL.
     Staying inside the NFC East is a good idea for the next topic. The eagles went to Washington and finally didnt shit their pants in the 4th qtr. Thanks to Rex Grossman spotting them 4 INTs, the Iggles walked out with a division road win. Anytime you can snatch one on the road in your own division you have dealt the other team a huge shit sandwhich. The Giants had an impressive victory over the very game Buffalo Bills. It looks like the feel good Bills could be coming back to reality. They were a sexy story at the beginning of the season but with the poor defense they play it will eventually come back to be their un-doing. Their Offense isnt that dynamic to sustain this success. This league gets film on you and it isnt long before opposing DCs find a away to take away what you do best. Kudos to the Giants for bouncing back after shitting the bed against Seattle the week before... I swear they tanked just to bang my suicide pool... assholes.
   One pleasant surprise for me has been the Cincinnati Bengals. I thought this team would maybe win 3-5 games this year... Rookie QB and WR.. a RB who likes prison and a no name O line.. I figured they would struggle. Looks like Marvin Lewis and Mike Brown figured out that less is more sometimes in the NFL. Saying goodbye to Ocho-Cinco, Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, and Terrell Owens has agreed with this team. The Locker Room is less of a circus and this team is back to being focused on winning football games more so than reality shows and police blotters... Getting 2 possible 1st rd picks for Carson Palmer was a great deal for them as well. I hope both parties get what they are looking for in that trade. Good for them.
  Lastly I wanna touch upon the Lions and 49ers game... or rather post game. After one of the better contests of the weekend where the 49ers never quit and fought hard to comeout victorious against the previously undefeated Lions, Inexplicably Jim Harbaugh the coach of the 49ers decides he needs to act like a rotten 9 year old. I understand the excitement of your team clawing out a tough win ont he road but dude, seriously. Act like a pro and a grown up. He jumps up and down for a few seconds and is ripping his shirt out of his pant, then sprints across the field jumping around like a moron. He reaches Jim Schwartz, the coach of the Lions, and decides to whip snap handshake the guy and blast him in the back in the process with his off hand. All the while shouting an explicitive and whoopin like he is Rick Flair at the Monday after the Masters Tourney in MB. Just the way Tom Landry and George Halas would have drawn it up. Schwartz takes exception to it and you can see him mouth the words "WTF?"... Schwartz chases him down and gives him a nudge and must have relayed his displeasure with Harbaughs actions... Harbaugh can be seen as saying "get out of my face!" multiple times... Hey Jimbo why dont you get your head out of your ass and realize you acted like an asshole. Maybe apologize for being a jerk and you could have avoided almost having a brawl in the postgame. Since when is it acceptable for a coach to act like this? Schwartz would have been well within his means to jack him up. It would have been better to see one of the Lions players take Harbaugh out and blast him with a form tackle... If Harbaugh want to act like he is still playing then perhaps they should accomodate him and lay his ass out.  Grow up.. Man up... your 49.. not 9
