Football's finest season....

It's the finest time of the year... (see what I did there?) Yes, it's football season! The best time of the year. Hopefully it also means some of this wretched heat goes away soon.

 

We won't even spoil the mood by mentioning that hockey seems lost until xmas. Nope. Not gonna do it.

 

I'm sure most of you saw the Cowboy's dismantling of the Giants to open the season. No surprise there. All of the well paid experts in print and tv land have picked the Cowboys to win the NFC East. Who am I to argue?

 

Tony Romo was 22 of 29 for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns.

 Jason Witten played the game hurt while recovering from a lacerated spleen. He still managed a couple of catches and threw some key blocks.

 Dez Bryant managed 4 catches for 85 yards while being double covered most of the game.

 and DeMarco Murray ran 20 times for 135 yards.

 Late tonight, the entire planet will be watching some guy in a new uni playing against the leagues top rated passing defence.

Should be a great one. Get your popcorn ready.

And if anyone has busted any 2012 Topps Finest like these fine cards you see here, and have any Cowboys that aren't pictured, I'd be very appreciative if you'd share.

A man among boys...

Some of you may have missed the awesome that is DeMarcus Ware last night. Final Score Dallas 20 Giants 8
6 1/2 tackles, 4 for a loss, 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles.

That gives DeMarcus 19 sacks on the year, just 3 short of the record set by Michael Strahan with two games to go.

It's great to see the Cowboys start to heat up on defense at the right time of year. The fact that it was against the Giants was just a wonderful bonus.
