....was the right one: Tashard Choice. He was really the only true bright spot in the Dallas Cowboys' total heart wrench of a 20-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Taschard Choice had his first NFL start, playing for the injured Marion Barber. He had some diamond sparkle moments--too bad the sparkle turned to coal. This game was the Cowboys' one to lose. They went into the 4th quarter ahead by 13-3. And lost. A go ahead interception did them in. Then a 4th and Game to Tie or Lose tossed, I think, to Jason Witten, with 55 seconds left in the game, wasn't caught. See, I'm not too sure Jason knew the ball was even coming his way---because he didn't turn around.
Unfortunately, Tony Romo threw the interceptions and fumbled. Plus the D-fense didn't stick around for the entire game. Where was the D-fense who held the Steelers out of the end zone on a 4th and goal? Will some sports radio folks say the commercial with Jessica Simpson jinxed the game?
And don't even get me started on the BCS stuff. Sure, OK--Iowa plays against South Carolina on Jan 1. Now, wasn't there a time when ALL the big time New Year's games were on Jan 1? Now they're stretched to Jan 8! What is THAT about?
Oh yea: Money.
I admit to not really being a Texas Longhorn fan (sorry Movie Man) but why aren't THEY playing for #1? I don't even care how that's explained--they BEAT OU (even though I rooted for OU--coach Bobby Stoops was an Iowa Hawkeye back in the day). I'm with our President elect, Barack Obama--we need a play-off system. UGH.
Ya know, since there's no man to tell me it'll be better next week--the Blue Bell White Chocolate Almond ice cream, in my fridge, will have to do.
