The Sports Bizzo

I try to do my best to not beat you guys (and gals) over the head with Cowboys talk. Believe me, we do enough of that in the podcast. But, I do cover the NFC East, and the Cowboys are tops in the division. Well, they’re not alone, are they? No, the Giants are sitting right there with them. Granted, the Giants wins have come against less than stellar teams (Washington, St. Louis, Cincinnati), they’re still rolling out the same records. But, all this week we’ve seen sexy articles about the Cowboys being the team to beat in the NFL. The best of the bunch with everyone else clamoring to top them. But, really, who cares?

What does that mean in week 4? Really, it means nothing. As we head into week 4 in the NFL, and the Cowboys have been amazing. A lot can change, and it most likely will. Granted, as a fan, it’s nice to see the Boys on top of the NFL again, but it scares the shit out of me. As a writer? Well, bring on the Super Bowl.

In other exciting news, my favorite match up (well, besides Cowboys - Eagles, Cowboys - Giants and Cowboys - Steelers) happens this week when the Redskins travel to Dallas. I’m interested to see how many times Romo will fumble and how many endzone picks he’ll throw. Why would they hand the ball to Marion Barber on a 1st and goal? Nope, let’s allow Romo to try and throw it. It’s all fun and games till someone loses a game. In the long run, that ends up hurting my fantasy team. I mean, the Cowboys……

The Redskins aren’t as bad as everyone thinks. They have a chance to push the Cowboys, and make this a close game. If they can, then they have a solid shot of winning this game. We’ve yet to see the Cowboys in the real pressure situation, and, for the sake of viewing, I hope they do keep it close. It makes Final Final a lot more fun.

When was the last time you saw 3 NFC East teams on top of the Power Rankings? There’s a very real possibility that the Cowboys, Giants and Eagles can all go undefeated these next 3 games playing teams like the Cardinals, the Niners and the Browns. Here’s to the best division in football…

On a completely unrelated note - It took this long to fire Matt Millen? I’ll never understand how that kind of thing doesn’t work like the real world. If I showed up to work every day, and invested in ideas like Charles Rodgers and Joey Harrington, wouldn’t I be fired? How does this kind of stuff happen?

Lastly, as I wrap up my stream of conciousness NFC East musings, how is it I can now write 427 words with ease? In high school I dreaded even writing 20 words. If I could go back now and do it again I could have made something of myself. OK, probably not. Have you seen the girls in high school? I mean, just look at the photos I provide for you. Sweet Justice!
