Sports: Two out of Four

The Dallas Cowboys can't blame Jessica Simpson for their loss to the New York Giants; I don't think Simpson was even allowed in the state of Texas this weekend. It's all on the Cowboys. Their offense just couldn't quite get it done in the second half. Mr. Big Mouth, Terrell Owens, had a biz fat ZERO catches in the second half. And who'd have thought the lesser Manning would be advancing to the playoffs, while the Older Brother goes home to mope about the fact that he may not be as elite a quarterback as he's cracked up to be.

Doesn't much matter. I don't think either the Cowboys or the Giants are capable of beating the Super Bowl questing Green Bay Packers. I do think, though, the odds are better for the Packers winning with the Giants traveling to Cheddarland next weekend, rather than Brett & Co flying south to play the Cowboys, which would have been the case had Tony Romo been able to throw a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The Giants will have a tough time of it in the Northland next, what with the weather forecast calling for PAIN. Actually, it's callling for high temperatures in the teens, which really could be quite painful if you have to be outside for long. Of course, for Northern Wisconsinites, those are summer temperatures; I'm thinking there will be a fair amount of people (specifically, men people) at Lambeau Field with their bare chests painted green and gold. Happy frostbite!

P.S. I forgot to give a shout out to Tony Siragusa, the Fox Sports side line "reporter" at the Packers-Seahawks game yesterday. He does a great job being light hearted, such as when he took a ride in a snow plow clearing the field, while being informative in the way that an ex-player can be as well. I think he's another John Madden in the making.
