Fire Wade Phillips 4

This is my friend's book, he's trying to draw attention to a book he has written. Check it out on facebook. Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=304984697029 He describes the book as: "I've written a novel called “Wilderness” which I'm sending out to agents (think "Calvin and Hobbes" written by Neil Gaiman)" He also says "one who friends the group will get any messages from me, they will just be helping a young aspiring novelist." I think that's a worthy cause.

Hello,

I watched the first half of the Dallas-New York game. In spite of Dallas getting 3 New York turnovers and a punt return for a touchdown, they are still down at halftime 24-20. While Wade Phillips deserves his share of blame, Dallas is just a bad football team. Maybe an egotistical owner shouldn't also be the GM? Just a thought.

This team needs to be blown up and start over. Tony Romo is injured and possibly will miss significant time. Reports Tuesday morning have him out 6-8 weeks. Never have I had a team that had the starting quarterback get injured and cared less. This is a classic when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Romo is a mediocre quality quarterback, he would make a good back up quarterback. When the offense can get by without Romo, it looked markedly better. I don't wish bad things for Romo. However he's vastly overrated and I wish he would be on another team.

Obviously their second string quarterback, Jon Kitna, isn't the long-term answer. He's a solid back-up. Dallas should take this chance to see if their third string quarterback, Stephen McGee, has a future in the NFL. Not this game, but next game. Give him a whole week of practice and give him the keys to the offense until he proves he isn't worthy of it. If it doesn't work out you know you need to get a quarterback in free agency or the draft.

Dallas needs to start at the top and trickle down from there. Jones needs to be an owner like the Patriots Bob Kraft. It's more important for Kraft that the Patriots win than he gets the credit. He hired a great coach: Bill Belichick. He's a complete jerk, but he knows his football. One doesn't see Belichick's teams having mental breakdowns, too many penalties and they play at a high level every season. Even when Tom Brady was injured most of the year, the Patriots still finished 11-5.

I'd had enough at halftime and stopped watching the game, it's obvious Dallas isn't going to win this game. Jerry please fire Wade and then fire yourself, please! 1-15 here we come. Boy I can't wait until they play Detroit. That will be the NFL version of the Toilet Bowl.

I had a couple of minutes to flip over to "The Event", this show has officially jumped the shark. I did finally figure out what the event was though, it was me turning off the TV. Most of the characters I just don't care about. I like Blair Underwood as the President, but that's about it. Sarah Roemer is enjoyable to look at, but most of the main actors are lame, Laura Innes? Please!

I'm going to watch "Hawaii-Five 0" tonight. The stories are not the greatest, but I like the characters. From the main detective, Steve McGarrett, to his quirky sister. Also there's Grace Park, as Kono Kalakaua, is great and not just because she looks amazing in a bikini. Danny "Danno" Williams is hilarious. Also Daniel Dae Kim, as Chin Ho Kelly, makes up a solid fourth main character. The show has a very good sense-of-humor. With humor and great characters I can overlook the occasional story lapse. It's not going to win any Emmy's, but it's probably not trying to. There's a lot less worse ways of spending a hour on a Monday night.

Monday night's episode was another good episode. Definitely check it out. Remember that "The Walking Dead" starts on AMC on Halloween.
