The Jerry Jones Traveling Circus

Watching the Celts on Comcast, but obviously flipping to TNT at halftime to hear Sir Charles give us some gems such as "The Lakers are way too good of a team to be playing zone. Playing a zone is basically saying 'we suck on defense'". Love that the Celts are making Bibby look stupid after his comments, and love the energy. Hopefully we can put it away without Pierce having to play too many minutes with that back.

Real quick, I wanted to switch gears to the Giants and just say how happy I am to hear that the Cowboys signed Pacman Jones. Like Babcock, I am a big believer that Pacman would have been a good acquisition for New England. That would be a situation in which his distractions would be minimal, he would be around a group of guys that are focused 100 per cent on football, and Belicick would provide the structure and discipline that he would need. Dallas could not be more of the oppisite, and I can't help but laugh at what a circus my hated division rival has become.

Wade Phillips is the coaching equivalent to that dad who is a great guy and doesn't want to be too hard on his kids so he looks the other way on things like drinking or other clues in the form of innapropriate paraphanielia. Sure, more often than not his kid will end up alright. But, a really badly behaved kid will take advantage of him and could get into serious trouble. Nobody will want to blame the dad because he's a good guy and he loves his kid. But, at the end of the day everyone knows he should have stepped in somewhere. He is not the right guy to be coaching Pacman. Tank Johnson is a guy who, much like Pacman, seems to be totally self-destructive. These are two guys who have been given several chances by the league, and who have had a very clear picture painted of what their behavior should be. Both have violated it time and time again. It's completely unfathomable. Now, they are playing on the same defense. Between TO mouthing off and accidently overdosing on medication, Tony Romo running off to Mexico with Jessica Simpson, and Wade Phillips proving last season that he does not have much (if any) control over his players actions, it is very suprising that Dallas would take a chance on one of these two guys. But both of them! A roster of felons is nothing new for Jerry Jones, but I just don't think this team has the talent of the old Aikman/Irvin/Smith teams. It looks like a division title is in the cards for Big Blue next season.

I've posted this many times before. But, I'll never get sick of watching it:




Tommy just screamed at the top of his lungs "Bruce Willis almost caught that!" Can we please get a Heinsohn/Barkley duo? Just for one game. Please. I'll order it on Pay-Per-View if I have to.
