After getting trounced by the New York Giants, at home and in front of a national audience, Bill Parcells offered up an apology for the Cowboys performance tonight. He mentioned that the Cowboys were outplayed, and out-everythinged tonight, including outcoached. (No truth the rumor Jeremy Shockey has been honing his vantriliquism skills)
The Giants appeared to be a team that refused to be beaten tonight. They outhit, outhustled, and were the more physical team from start to finish. Anytime a team does that, it's awfully hard to beat them.
The degree of difficulty increases when you put in a 4th year rookie QB at halftime...and he throws 3 interceptions in his one half of duty. Pulling Bledsoe is a sign that the QB controversy in Dallas is over. Barring an injury, and with an offensive line like that one is bound to happen, Tony Romo is officially a starting quarterback in the National Football League.
How does Michael Irvin feel about his team's playoff chances now?
What Do LaVar Arrington and I Have in Common?
Answer: Neither one of us will play in an NFL football for the rest of the year.
Arrington, who was having a solid first half, ruptured his Achilles on a rather innocuous running play in the first half.
In 2005, the Giants' linebacking corps were so beseiged by injury, they were reduced to picking up street free agents just to honestly say that they had linebackers on their roster. Losing Arrington may give the Giants a "oh no, not again" feeling.
At least it won't cost them much. Arrington signed an incentive-laden contract with the Giants in the off-season, so maybe it's the Postons who are thinking "oh s--t" right about now.
Early Tuesday Ramblings
- Is it just me, or is Rachel Nichols kind of cute?
- I didn't hear Kornheiser mention his fantasy team once during the MNF broadcast, but he did keep his streak alive by mentioning that he has Alge Crumpler on his team during PTI.
- I'm 83% certain Michele Tafoya wears a wig.
- Before anyone wonders why so much time was devoted to Emmitt Smith, let me clarify that it has nothing to do with him being a former Dallas Cowboy. What did they spend most of the time talking about? Dancing, as in ABC's "Dancing With the Stars", which stars...Emmitt Smith. ABC is owned by Disney, which also owns ESPN.
- According to Joe Theismann, Drew Bledsoe shouldn't have been yanked from the game, but going to Tony Romo was absolutely the right move? Just checking...
- If ESPN spent more than a nickel on the horrible introduction to MNF, they spent too much. I don't know why they pick the celebrities, but I'm guessing they're involved in some Disney/ABC/ESPN vehicle. The whole futuristic thing is just silly (same goes to you, FOX). I'm trying to watch the NFL, not the Transformers. NFL players are not robots. If they were, they wouldn't commit so many damn penalties...and felonies.
