The Cowboys don't suck; they just sucked yesterday

I had only been here at work about three minutes this morning when I heard a woman in the classified department declare:
"The Cowboys suck!:

And then the woman whom she was talking to replied: "I turned it off."

Hello, Monday morning.
Knees are jerking all over the place.

No, the Cowboys don't suck.
Only four teams in the NFL have a better record than they do.
They are still the leader in the NFC East.

What you should say is "The Cowboys sucked yesterday."
Then I would agree.

But when you watch as much pro football as I do, you understand that's just life in the NFL. "On any given Sunday" certainly applies in the NFL.
OK, I know it seems that the Cowboys have more "any given Sundays" than the rest of the teams in the league, but that is only because many of you watch them every week.
You see all their warts.

But believe me, there are people in Pittsburgh -- home of the world champions -- moaning and groaning today.
And what do you think the folks in Denver are saying?
Their 6-3 Broncos lost to the stink-'em-up Redskins --- by 10 points, just like the Cowboys did in Green Bay.

I can certainly understand why someone would turn their TV off during Dallas-Green Bay.
After awhile, Tony Romo getting knocked on his butt just becomes a bad re-run.
But you have to be careful hitting the "off" button during NFL games.

Just think about the sleepy heads in Indianapolis last night.
Their Colts were trailing by 17 in the fourth quarter. Bill Belichick's Patriots had never lost a game in which they led by as many as 13 in the final quarter.

Good night.
But this morning "Good night" became "Good, God!"
Peyton Manning led a big-time comeback and the Colts won 35-34.

Wonder how many people in Boston are saying "The Patriots suck" this morning.
