You can tell the NBA season is about to start Dwight Howard is whining about where he wants to play. I've never seen a man whine so much. Howard reminds me of a teenage girl that doesn't get enough attention. Both are having drama to get more attention. Neither care if it's bad attention as long as they are getting any attention. Dwight stop being so pathetic. No matter where he ends up this season he'll be whining where he wants to play next season.
Also like a teenager nothing is good enough for him. Howard represents the entitled, spoiled NBA star. Instead of making the best of a situation, he whines until the situation is improved. Howard represents many things wrong with the modern athlete. I don't know how someone can complain about making millions of dollars a year and living in tax free Florida. Damn, I wish I had those problems.
I love that Howard was praising the Magic as being "willing to change". Hey Dwight why don't you work harder on your playing and maybe go out and recruit some players to the team? It's a two way street, you also need to do what you can to get the Magic a title. I don't think either Tony Romo or Dwight Howard will ever get a title. Dwight shut the hell up!
I'm also sick of hearing where Chris Paul is going to play, just get the trade done. Other than Karl Malone, the Jazz haven't had many drama queens over the years. Thank goodness. Of course when Jerry Sloan was the head coach, he didn't put up with that much. One great thing about Sloan was that he was always realistic with his players how lucky they were.
Now on to the pathetic Cowboys. On Sunday afternoon ESPN had their Streak for the Cash choices. I could have either gone with the Giants or Cowboys. My heart said to pick Dallas, but my head said to pick the Giants. I've just seen the Cowboys choke so many times. In fact I've come to expect it. With Daniel Snyder a owner in the NFL, Jerry Jones will never be the worst owner in the NFL. I loved the look of disgust on his face when Dallas's kicker, Dan Bailey, had his field goal attempt blocked at the end of Sunday night's game.
Jerry you don't have the right to be angry with anyone but yourself. You are over matched in being a general manager, you clearly have no idea what you are doing. Other than getting lucky with Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells is the only other good head coaching move you have made. Wade Phillips was an unmitigated disaster and Jason Garrett looks like he may be heading that way. Dave Campo, Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey there's a reason these men will never be in the NFL Hall of Fame.
I swear if I hear one more NFL expert say how much talent Dallas has, I'm going to go crazy. If Dallas has so much talent, why are they so damn mediocre? You can only blame the horrid general manager and bad coaching for so much. At the end of the day it comes down to the players on the field to make the plays. But increasingly those same players find new and creative ways to choke. The offense has been okay. After that terrible Wade Phillips defense last year and the weak looking Rob Ryan defense this year, what else can go wrong? The Cowboys just can't stop anyone in clutch time. No Cowboys lead is ever safe with their suspect defense. The Cowboys weakest defensive link seems to be their pass coverage. Everyone knows that the Cowboys cornerbacks suck, that's why Eli Manning kept on going at Terrance Newman. Newman was burned several times and Mike Jenkins missed most of the game due to injury. As for Dallas's defense it's been a systemic failure.
Obviously you can't blame Tony Romo for this loss, he played a great game. Other than being spun down in his own end zone in the first quarter for a safety, again he had a great game. Although that safety seemed to hang over the Cowboys the whole night. Romo completed 21 of 31 passes for 321 yards. He also passed for 4 touchdowns, 0 interceptions and had a quarterback rating of 141.3. I don't think I've ever seen a quarterback rating that high. Some people are giving Romo crap for missing Miles Austin on a late game pass. Although I'm not a big Romo fan we need to give him a pass on that play.
Two things I would say about Romo, I still hope that he's not on the Cowboys next season. Yes he had a great game, but he's just not a winner. It's obvious after 9 years with the Cowboys he's not going to step up and win the big game. And I wouldn't be surprised to find the Cowboys to find a way to lose to the already given up on the season Tampa Bay this weekend. Also it's time to stop wearing your hat backwards, you aren't 15 anymore Tony.
Ultimately though what needs to be done is for Jones to fire himself. He needs to get one person to come in and be in charge of everything. Then Jones needs to stay the hell out of the way. What can Jones do? Well for one it's time to bring Sean Payton back home. Payton's family has already moved to Dallas. It's time for Payton to join his family and be the next head coach/GM of the Dallas Cowboys. It's time for Dallas to return to NFL prominence. I'm sick of these last 15 years of mediocrity when Dallas has only won one playoff game.
Dallas obviously this season's team hasn't got it. It's time to begin getting ready for next season. The Cowboys desperately need to go to free agency and the draft and get some quality cornerbacks. It would be nice if their wide receivers could be a little more durable too.
Another season, another meltdown. How many years Jerry is this going to go on before you realize you are the problem?
