Thanksgiving Leftovers

Here’s a little something to feed your Cowboys fix on this big football Sunday around the league.

Tic Tac Toe, Three In A Row - Martellus Bennett’s touchdown catch gave him at least one in the last three games, something only two other Dallas rookies have achieved; Antonio Bryant in 2002 and Bob Hayes in 1965. I’m still mad at Martellus anyway… Bennett broke his promise when he said he would score two touchdowns on Thursday… we’re still not on speaking terms.   

Thanks For Nothing - Julius Jones had a Texas Stadium homecoming he would like to forget. It was one of the worst single performances in his career, finishing with 37 yards, two fumbles, no touchdowns and the fans booed him every time he touched the ball. He was also replaced as the starting running back at the end of the third quarter. Ouch! 

Get Out, And Stay Out – The Cowboys are now 3-0 at home ever since the team’s mascot, Rowdy has been banished from the Texas Stadium sidelines during game action. I never liked Rowdy anyway, he always reminded me of those other three big headed mascots from Pep Boys… creepy…

A Helping Hand – The Cowboys need some big-time help today to improve our chances for a Wild Card spot. We need San Diego to beat Atlanta (7-4), New Orleans to beat Tampa Bay (8-3), and Green Bay to beat Carolina (8-3). Like John Lennon said, “We’ll get by with a little help from our friends.” 

The Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight – Giants wide receiver, Plaxico Burress is in some deep shit after getting caught with a loaded gun in a New York nightclub. The gun accidentally slid down his pants leg and discharged, shooting Burress through the thigh. He is expected to be arrested on felony weapons charges and could face up to five years in prison. Carrying a concealed weapon in New York carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 3 ½ years. Send us a postcard from Rikers Island once you get settled in…
