Cowboys/Eagles Observations

How 'bout them Cowboys? That was truly an enjoyable game last night, wasn't it? They destroyed the Eagles; however, that Eagles team is just not very good anymore. While they have dominated the NFC East for the last few years, we can put the proverbial fork in them.

I'm not a professional sports writer so I'm going to leave the in depth analysis to those that are. Here you will find some observations on a lighter note from the fan's perspective.

Have you ever noticed that Wade Phillips often looks like he has no idea what's going on? On multiple occasions last night they cut over to him, and he just looked confused. Either that or he smelled something. It seems like you either get this look or the punching air reaction after a big play. Don't get me wrong. I think he is doing a great job. The proof is in the 7-1 pudding.

Jason Witten is one tough dude. Did you see him take a shot to the head, have his helmet torn off, and then run for another 20+ yards? After the play was over, he kind of looked like the guy from the Snicker's commercial a few years ago who, after taking a major hit, sat on the bench and proclaimed, "I am Batman!" Given the blood coming from his nose after the play, we can forgive the expletive that he let fly on the way back to the bench. However, he was back in a couple of plays later. 'Nuff said.

Coming in a very close second on the tough dude scale is Marion "The Barbarian" Barber. Would anyone like to volunteer to try to tackle him just for kicks? I love to watch him run over the other team's defense. I think he might have a bit of a Sampson thing going with that hair. Doh! I hope no one from the other teams reads this.

Is anyone more polarizing in football than T.O. Owens? It's as if someone went to the lab and combined Dione Sanders and Michael Irvin into one personality. Like Dione, it's much better when he is on your team that when he isn't. Do you think he enjoyed himself at all last night?

Next up: the New York Football Giants.

Until next time...
