Happy New Year Texas! I trust everyone got what they were hoping for this holiday. Oh, I forgot about that upset with the Giants that ended the season for the Cowboys. As much as it pleased me to have them lose, I still feel a bit of empathy for the players and you guys as well. To come this close to victory only to have the spoils taken by the Giants during the final few seconds...well damn, that's about as bad as it can get right? So the Cowboys are out of the play-offs, big deal. The game is over, they gave it their best, and the better team won! Or is it? The Cowboys might have lost dramatically, but the game is far from over! There's still the last game in the sport to consider. That's right Texas! It's time for the real game of football is about to start. The Blame game! Every game lost has to have someone to play patsy and this game is no different. Now, the main character to be named is the wop, Tony Romo. Never mind that this dude was the main force in getting the team in shape to be in the play-offs. Were it not for his dedication and extreme professionalism in the sport, not to mention the long hours and tiresome work he did to get you dude's closer than ever to being contenders you wouldn't have made it as far as you did! For you guys to single him out as the culprit is not only wrong, but downright un-American and a BLEEP to boot! Okay, so the guy did make a few bad plays and such, but that is standard in a game as big as this. What about the plays that were good? What about all those perfect throws my man Romo threw to those players closer to the goal? What, did Romo put oil or butter in their fingers? Did he secretely and purposefully throw the ball a bit too late for the intended receiver? Listen, know how bad you guys must feel, the reb feels your pain and outrage. And, just like your creation in some benevolent spirit or "God" to explain the evils you're capable of inflicting on others of your species, it makes no sense in todays world. True, you guys should have won this game, but the fault doesn't lie with our quarterback Tony Romo, but the team as a whole! Just like the brother said during the conference. This loss, although a tragedy and set back for the Cowboys, is not the fault of one man, but of a team! A team that should have won, but got a bit too confident and lost it, and everyone on the team is to blame.
As most of you know TheReb doesn't do much in the way of sports. Kinda hard to believe considering I come from Georgia. Even my friends find that hard to believe particularly when that sport entails racing cars! NASCAR was invented in the South, having gained popularity during the prohibition era. At that time a few pioneers, most of them young and white decided to take matters into their own hand by devising a way to get around the cops and the supply of alcohol on it's way in record time. It was here that the sport of NASCAR was invented. Alot has taken place since those days one being the intorduction of women to the sport. One such woman is Danica Patrick. Now, I might not be a lover of Indy Car but, what can I say? I like this gal! Not only does she bring beauty to the sport, she has shown that she can play with the big boys, as well! That little "push" she delivered to the Australian racer for clipping proved this in the best way possible! In my opinion, the guy got off easy considering! If I had been the driver he would have gotten more than a mere shove I tell 'ya! Hey, it's tough enough being in a sport dominated by men! It takes alot to prove one's self in a sport such as this and danica Patrick has proved that she can hang with the best of them. Get ready, boys! There's a new sheriff in town, and her name is Danica Patrick!
They Call me Butters!

Sorry about the title, Southpark dudes, but I felt it appropriate for the topic at hand. At least that's the names my husband and I were dishing out to both teams, not merely your beloved Cowboys. Okay, so Romo greased the monkey a bit too long, and caused us the game. It also earned him the name of the Southpark character 'Butters'. Be that as it may, you have to admit that the Seahawks didn't fare any better. I remember them dropping the ball a few times themselves, not to mention those horrible throws and catches they attempted. If you want my opinion, they both played horribly, and neither one deserved to win! I expected the Cowboys would lose, but I never thought they would lose as bad as they did to a team that played far worse than they.
So, where do the Cowboys go from here? Well, there is that new stadium being built by us taxpayers in Arlington, but I for one don't see what good it'll do, in the end. Seems like the glory days of the Cowboys being America's team has truly been lost,and whether or not they get that glory back, only time will tell. Fare thee well, my dear Cowboys fans! Fare thee well!
America's Team? I Doubt It!

So, football season is raising it's head, and the Dallas Cowboys, America's team, are the one's to watch this season, right? Of course they are the greatest, else we taxpayers wouldn't be footing more than half the bill for the new digs in Arlington, right? Give me a break! Who's bright idea was this? More importantly, who says they are America's team? They are certainly not mine, I can tell you that! C'mon, people! Are you guys in the Lone Star State that retarded? Tell me, what has this team done lately to deserve such distinction, much less that big stadium in Arlington! When was the last time they won a Superbowl title? What, ten years ago? Yeah, back when Johnson was in charge! Role models? You betcha! Raping women, doing drugs, involved in drive-by shootings?!? What better team could we possibly pick to represent us Americans? God, you Texans truly are a retarded, just like the comedian Robin Williams said during his tour of 2002! America's team? Worthy of that multi-million dollar stadium guaranteed to keep us all in debt for the next hundred years? Yeah, right! Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but that is never going to happen, I assure you! Go ahead and build that stadium, it'll never be filled! How do I know this, you ask? Well, having been a prisoner of this Confederate-rejected State over thirty years, and a resident of Arlington for five of those, now residing in Grand Prairie, Arlington's sister city, I can assure you that this will never happen! How are you guys gonna get there, for starters? By auto, right? Wrong! Have any of you driven down Abrams from Dallas? Drove down Division? Well, the Reb666 has and, let me tell you, it ain't no picnic! Take the DART? Trinity Railway? NOT!! Arlington ahs said emphatically NO to public transportation such as the Dart Railway system. Something about "undesirables" coming over. WORD UP, FOOLS! Arlington, you already have "undesirables", okay? I was a resident of your city for five years, remember? You honestly believe that people are going to risk tearing up their cars, family and careers to support, finance and patronize your city for a team that has not won a Superbowl for over ten years? I think not! If you believe that, you must be on drugs! Before we decide to give up our tax dollars to this teanm, let them prove they are worthy of it! Can they do it? Will they do it? I DARE THEM! America's team?: Not this American, I promise you!
