Rain turned to Ice... Winter Gloves: On.

Well, good morning Switzerland!!!

Actually, it's a LOT WARMER in Switzerland right now than it is here.... 48 in Geneva. Zero here. Hmmm.

Well, I guess putting 16 on the Steelers was a pretty good idea. They're not gonna lose 5 in a row, right?? Against the lowly Cleveland Browns?? Naaah. 'Course not. Don't be ridiculous. Their season is on the line....

Whooops!!!! Gaaahhh! Dooh!!

Question: Why couldn't the Cardinals face THOSE Steelers last February??? Yeah, those Steelers, who allow 8 sacks a game, who can't run... Yeah. Hmm.

Well, what's bad for me might be good for VBS... He "only" had 11 on Dr. Foreman's team, errr, I mean, Mike Tomlin's Team. Sorry.

If you don't watch "House", you missed that, so google up the actor Omar Epps, who plays Dr. Foreman on House, and you tell me he isn't Mike Tomlin's long lost twin brother.

Headline: (straight from Yahoo Sports, cut and Paste) Romo not thrilled to hold, but willing to do it.

Dateline: IRVING, Texas (AP)—Tony Romo doesn’t really want to be a holder again for what he calls “obvious reasons.”

Yet if having him hold will help kicker Nick Folk regain his accuracy, then Romo is willing to resume the role that left him in tears the last time he did it for the Dallas Cowboys.

Heck, he even volunteered for it.

“When you’re the quarterback of a football team, really all that matters is winning,” Romo said Thursday. “If this helps us do that, I’m doing to do it. … Pops told me one time, `Leadership is doing what has to be done.”’

Romo bobbled his last hold for Dallas, in a January 2007 playoff game in Seattle. The flub cost the Cowboys a chance to beat the Seahawks and it left Romo tearfully apologizing to his teammates afterward. He asked to hold at the Pro Bowl a few weeks later and hadn’t done it again until this week. He’d never worked with Folk, who arrived the season after Romo gave up holding to concentrate on being solely the quarterback.

*****

My thoughts: Please. I'm fed up with all the "Blaming Romo" for Cowboys losses. Now we have an idiot kicker who is going to blame his holder for his absurd missed kicks. Riiiight. And again, you dudes ages 9 thru 16, if you're not out there kicking and punting.... I dunno. I throw my hands up in exasperation. Obviously, you could easily make a few hundred grand a year if you could make a few field goals.

Yeah, this idea that Romo somehow needs to "contribute more" to the team, underlying in that article, is real annoying as well. Like, somehow, he's not REALLY a "good quarterback."

Let's go to the line, shall we?? (cut and pasted from Yahoo Sports)

Tony Romo:
QB Rat Comp Att % Yds Avg TD Int
Week 13 (@NYG) 1 112.1 41 55 74.5 392 392.0 7.1 3 0

Uh huh. 41 of 55 for 392, 3 TDs, NO picks. Wow, what a loser. Really, bring back Brad Johnson, before it's too late.... Gadzoooks. What a frickin' bum...

(/sarcasm mode off)

Yeah, well, so, rest easy Cowboys Fans... instead of working on how to beat the Chargers, Tony is going to spend his extra time this week working with the long snapper.... Nice. Real nice. Jerry Jones, pick up the white courtesy telephone, reality is on the line for you.... Wade, you may wanna just hold onto the mortgage payment check.... You may be leaving soon.

I'd seriously like to know, where's your backup wide receivers??? Get one of your diva wideouts to hold... Supposedly such great ball handlers, okay, get your butt out there and hold for placekicks!!! Our starting QB has BETTER THINGS TO DO!!!

Alright people, enjoy the games. It's waaay too frickin' cold out to do anything but hunker down inside and plant yourself firmly in front of your big screen.
