Jerry, what are you thinking?

I am completely perplexed that for some reason unknown to me, Jerry Jones thinks that Tony Romo is his "Guy". His Roger, his Troy, even his Danny! He is not even close! It was embarrassing on Monday Night Football to open your new Billion dollar stadium with a QB who is not a leader. Yes, Romo can and has put up big numbers but he is not a finsiher. Not a guy who can win a playoff game. How does Jerry think this guy is going to get them to the Superbowl? And even further, how much time do you get to Figure it out?
Romo came out after the loss against the Giants and said that it was his fault and he was going to fix it. Why didn't he fix it at half time, if he was going to fix it? I am not sure Romo has it in him to be a QB for the Dallas Cowboys. This team is expected to win and finds ways to rebuild and get the job done. All they are doing now is wasting valuable time. The rest of this team is solid. Marion Barber is the real deal, the offense and defensive lines are strong. How much longer will these guys put up with Romo's mistakes?
Even guys like Troy Aikman and Tony Dorsett are speaking out that Romo simply does not understand what it means to be a QB for the Dallas Cowboys. This is an honor and an opportunity to play for a very proud franchise. That is why when Romo decided to go on vacation with Jessica to Cabo prior to the playoffs did not go over very well with Cowboy fans.
There so no question that Wade Phillips is not head coach material. He is a great defensive coordinator but there is not a head coach in his right mind that would have made Romo the starter AGAIN and thought that Jon Kitna would be a good back up, the same Jon Kitna who went winless last year with the Lions.
And everyone thought that TO was the problem! Wake up Jerry. I am undecided as to weather it would be better to loose this season and get Colt McCoy and throw all the rest of your money Jerry to Bill Cowher or Jon Gruden and get back in the right track next season. Or do we keep the faith that Tony Romo is going to "Fix It" in 2009? You make the call.

NFL football!.... Week One QB thoughts...

Ahhh, NFL football. Finally. Lets take a look at week one. The RAIDERS have a heartbeat again, and more important soul. J'Marcus Russell went back into the game in the fourth quarter hurt and lead his team into the end zone. That is the heart and soul of football. The Raiders should have won the game Monday night against an over rated San Diego team. Tired of Phillip Rivers who thinks that his team is better than everyone else in the AFC West. We will see. Staying in the AFC West, Denver is the luckiest team in the NFL after that horrid performance. Who is even leading this team?

Most disappointing performance was the lack of interest by Kurt Warner. In the Superbowl a year ago and now no drive at all. It's week one Kurt you are suppose to be up for this one! Jake Delhomme, not sure what is wrong with him, but 6 interceptions and benched in week one? You might need therapy since training camp did not help you any.

Who should be kicked out of the NFL after week one? That is easy, Jay Cutler. Talk about lack of anything and what is with the pouting face every time the camera was on him. He is a spoiled brat and does not belong in the NFL. Poor BEARS!

Favre is old but he is still better than most of the QB's playing. Still going to take some time to get use to seeing you in purple. Now we wait to see if he can keep the streak of starting every regular season game alive. Heads up Brett, just hand the ball off and stay the heck out of the way!

Mark Sanchez, nice move signing with the Jets and not with the Trojans. I only hope Pete Carroll watched your game. You also seem like you have a good head on your young shoulders. Please, don't turn into Tom Brady or Matt Leinart. Arrogance and Entitlement are not attractive. Even if you are in GQ.

As far as McNabb and Vick....it is only a matter of time before we see Mike Vick behind center. McNabb will run the show while he is healthy.

And Tony Romo...no more Jessica and you are already playing better. Since the Cowboys have not been to the promised land in way too long, I can only hope and pray.

Welcome John Garland to the "Otherside"

Ned Colletti has been busy. Last night in the 7th inning of the Dodgers/Diamondbacks game there was a buzz in the press box that a trade was upon us. One reporter thought he could actually see John Garland shaking hands with his now former team mates in the D'Backs dugout while the name Jim Thome was being mentioned among the whispers. Could the Dodgers have acquired them both?
A few minutes later, Dodgers PR Director Josh Rawitch came in and informed us they did indeed acquire Thome and Garland and Ned Colletti would be available to take questions. We all know the Dodgers were looking for Pitching help, but another big bat? Ned Colletti said he was looking for another Matt Stairs who could come off the bench and be productive in the playoffs. Interestingly enough,Thome called Ned and told him to keep him in mind because he wanted to come to the Dodgers and help out wherever he could. Regarding Garland, that was one of the strangest moments I have ever been a part of as a reporter. After the Dodgers game was over, the media who was already in the Dodger locker room were asked to stay there because John Garland would be right over...from across the hall. Garland sheepishly walked into the "Otherside" to greet reporters. He told us that he was told in the 7th inning to go in, take a shower and pack his bag because he was just traded to the Dodgers. I asked John if he knew anyone in the Dodger locker room and he said "No". Just then James Loney came over and welcomed him. I also welcomed him into the "Otherside". I caught up with Joe Torre in the elevator and asked him if he has ever had a player walk to the "Otherside" during a game. Torre said, "Not one who is going to start against his former team in a few days".
So the Dodgers add two more to the fold. In exchange, a minor leaguer will go to the White Sox for Thome. Colletti would not say who will go to the Arizona clubhouse in exchange for Garland. The big question remains, will someone in the Dodger locker room be walking to the "Otherside"?
