The Dead Man Walking countdown is on in Dallas, one of the worst head coaches in Dallas Cowboys history will hopefully be shown the door soon. Dallas continues its December doldrums with yet another choke and again losing at home. Phillips is much like qb Tony Romo. Both win a lot of games except for the games that matter the most. Over the last three Septembers, Octobers and Novembers Phillips' Cowboys teams only have lost 7 combined games. In December those Cowboys teams of Wade Phillips are 3-8. (Thanks to espn.com) They'll be 3-9 after getting killed by New Orleans this week. (Jerry Jones this might be a good time to talk to Sean Payton and see what his price tag is.) The Chargers just wanted this game more than the Cowboys. Wade I don't care what your players are saying, they have quit on you.
Cameras showed Jerry Jones in his box with a look of disgust on his face. He has no one to blame but himself, he was the one who hired Wade Phillips in the first place. He also was the one who decided to keep Phillips this season. Seriously how does Phillips have a job still? (Jerry if you want a head coach that can't win a playoff game I can be had today for 1/10th of the price.)
Jerry Jones here are three real football coaches you could pursue: Mike Shanahan, Tony Sparono and Sean Payton. Jason Garrett isn't the answer either. What the hell is up with his play calling? Four attempts from the two yard line and in and you get stopped each time? How about trying a screen or some play action. With the salary cap being unlimited next season, I think its also time to pursue a big game quarterback. Tony Romo is just not that guy. Seriously $60 million plus should be able to buy at least a few playoff victories, shouldn't it?
Natalie Portman has agreed to star in the movie adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". That's cool and Natalie Portman is turning into a really beautiful woman.
I want to save you some money, don't watch "GI Joe: Rise of Cobra". It's a very boring movie. It's predictable, the story is lame and the acting is weak. All the attempts at "comedy" are stilted and fall apart. The story is just an excuse to have action scenes and those aren't very good. The attempts at a love story aren't very convincing either. Marlon Wayans and the redhead Rachel Nichols absolutely have no chemistry. It's so very obviously set up to have a sequel. Here's the funny thing, this movie is so boring who would have any interest in seeing the sequel? Here's two questions: 1) Where's GI Joe? 2) Why does the script insist on calling the members of the GI Joe group, "the Joes"? Stupid. "GI Joe" producers please send me $5 and I also want that two hours of my life back.
Rolling Stone magazine calls Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" the best song of the decade. Seriously, that wouldn't even make my Top 1000. This decade hasn't been the best decade for music either. Other questionable song choices: 2) Jay-Z's extremely overrated "99 Problems and 3) Beyonce and Jay-Z's "Crazy In Love". Was this list compiled by Jay Z? At #4 they actually pick a song that's pretty good, that's OutKast's "Hey Ya". At #8 is Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" which is a good song, but "You Know I'm No Good" should be the song on this list. (Tomorrow I'll pick apart their Top 50 CD's of the Decade. Radiohead? Wilco? Jay-Z? again?)
I again listened to Allison Iraheta's "Just Like You", what a great CD! I think it's better than anyone should have expected it to be. It gets better each time I listen to it. Garth Brooks is playing a one man show in Las Vegas for up to 5 years. Welcome back Garth. It would even be better if you had a full band behind you.
I also started reading another book, Kate Atkinson's "Case Histories". It's about 3 cold cases that may or may not be linked. The first about 60 pages are being used to set up the story, this book is not off to the most gripping beginning of a book. Hopefully soon I can find another book that will captivate me as much as Stieg Larrson's "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo".
