cowboys-ravens

this is the best time of year for me. Cowboys fighting to make playoffs, no baseball, and the holidays. the game tonight is beyond excitement. i am going to my brothers for the game tonight and its all i can do not to think about it. that's probably not good but i don't care. when tony romo said pro football is like a reality show that has a whole week to build, he was right. i don't know of any man who would not play professional sports if the opportunity were there and of course had the skill. so to see and hear what goes on all week on the sports talk radio shows, and espn (for everyone but me) with nfl live and how many times a day it comes on, it builds to such a great climax that either leaves you in a really good mood, or it rocks your whole week.

i know i put to much into sports and let it dictate my mood too much, but sports is everything to me and have played at a very high level ever since i was a wee little kid. i was always really good (ok the best) at every sport i played so i now and still feel those feelings when running onto the field or court at the beginning of the game and the competitive juices that flow, and with me more than anything the feeling of winning.

winning was everything to me and drove me to be the best that i could be. so i understand a lot of the TO saga with romo and whitten. the average "white guy" fan always says TO is a distraction and disgrace and i wish he were not here. i am so tired of hearing that. TO is just a fierce competitor who wants to win. he even said "winning cures everything" and he is right. If they win and TO has 1 catch for 7 yards so what. there are so many nuances to sports that if you didn't play, and get a lot of playing time you may not understand. TO does so much for all the other players its crazy. there is a reason whitten is so open ALL the time. i am not saying TO is a saint or anything because he does make a lot of mistakes, but the whole reality show of NFL football has hindered TO because whatever he says and does gets blown WAY out proportion and analyzed way to hard.

anyway i do believe roy williams (the receiver) will take over for TO in the future and be a good #1 receiver, but right now get freakin TO the ball down the MIDDLE of the field and let him work. It baffles me how Fitzgerald and Boldin catch so many balls when everyone tries to stop them. Warner gets them the ball no matter what.

Romo will have to hook up with Roy W tonight in my opinion if the boys are going to win. i look for Roy to make at least one big game changing play.

so i hope my cows win and the eagles loose because the last game in Philly if the eagles win on Sunday will be a huge game and not sure my nerves can handle it. lol
