Dallas 16, Houston 28

last night i returned to reliant stadium in houston to attend my second cowboys vs. texans preseason game. true....preseason means shit. but hey - bragging rights are always nice.

the cowboys just looked sloppy. especially ole slippery hands romo. he fumbled, he threw an interception and even bumbled a snap. it was poetry in motion.

in the meantime - on the hometown side of the ball: where did jacoby jones come from? hello, rockstar! on the texans opening drive..... well - on what was to be the opening drive....jones ran back a 91-yard punt return for the first touchdown of the evening.

from there - houston never looked back and lead the entire game. but even as my brother and father like to say - look at the score when the starters leave the game. that's your winning score. fair enough: dallas 6, houston 21.

now....i'm not about to get all excited - but it was nice watching the texans look solid. and i think the boys from wisconsin are gonna bring the texans to victory this season. watch for ex-packer ahman green and ex-badger owen daniels to dominate much of our offensive game (and direct from green bay, mike sherman returns for his second year as the offensive coordinator).

oh....and i believe in giving props where props are due. our boy mario williams looked great last night. even got himself a sack or two.

having said all this....watching the postgame analysis on sports center last night - you'd swear the cowboys had won. how about giving my boys their well-deserved kudos? it was bullshit.

fucking cowboys..... why does everyone love them so?

best shirt of the night:
front: the cowboys suck.
back: if dallas is america's team, consider me canadian.

anyway....i'm not getting high hopes as far as the playoffs go...but hell, i'll take a winning season for once. is that too much to ask for.....?
