Dear Taylor Swift,
I think its time we forgive Kanye for being a huge jackass (you probably already have) and thank him for being dumb and drunk enough to steal your spotlight. I think you’ve benefited from his faux pas because your star has risen, and this keeps you from breaking out with a totally ridiculous scandal. This keeps you from (for now) Drew Barrymoring and Lindsay Lohaning. Also this keeps you from becoming somewhat irrelevant and untalked about between albums
because whenever there is a lull in the media you’ll probably pop up in Kanye’s most dumb assed moments. I know you’ve got your own star Taylor….I’m just trying to help you keep that optimism America loves about you.

Okay, I know I just put up a post and encourage you to read it, but I had to upload this video as reminder to the haters and disbelievers of the Magic that is Tony Romo. Dallas has a big game coming up on Sunday night against the Eagles, and they need the full suport of all Dallas fans!

This is an old video, and unfortunately it ends in tragedy, but please watch and remember why it is that we all fell in love  with the cute, dimpled quarterback from Wisconsin.

38-17! Need I say more?

Romo was 21 of 36 for 256 yards, hitting 10 receivers, with the touchdowns going to Austin for 3 yards, Roy Williams for 7, and Sam Hurd (36, putting Dallas ahead for good at 7-3). Marion Barber added a 2-yard TD run and Crayton’s game-breaking return covered 82 yards, 9 more than his game-breaking score the previous week.

Tony also did something he has never done before, and that was go three straight games without an interception. It must feel good to be perfect!!!

Of course, not all the credit for the Dallas victory should go to the Dallas players… Seattle was a tremendous help with the number of penalties they cropped up. My Star Player of the Game would be Marcus Trufant, whose pass interference calls sure helped the Cowboys drive the wooden stake deeper and deeper into Seattle’s heart (sorry, I’m still on a Halloween buzz). Matt Hasselbeck made some pretty spectacular plays, but even he was left virtually powerless after 3 sacks and a fumble! Bye bye division!!! Not that they had much of  chance, but hey, it never hurts to wish upon a star!

And if that wasn’t great enough, in the “City of Brotherly Hate,” Donovan Mcnabb and Co. crucified the New York Giants 40-17!!! Dallas now shares the lead with the Eagles at 5-2, with the G-String Men falling to 3rd at 5-3. Oh, and did I mention that the Cowboys and Eagles meet next Sunday night? Last time the two met (and I still have nightmares from time to time) it was the 2008 regular season finale and Philly obliterated Dallas 44-6. They went on to play (and lose) the NFC Championship game while the Cowboys simply went home. I have not forgotten. Dallas has not forgotten. And don’t believe for one second that the Cowboys have forgotten.

  REVENGE!!! It will be sweet!!!  

In other NFL News, Brett Favre showed that he can still win in Lambeau! Amidst boos and signs depicting him as Judas, Fredo Corleone, and Benedict Arnold, Favre stuck it to Green Bay and the 71,213 in attendance, one touchdown at time. I’m sorry, but Packer fans had no right to boo Favre, even if he is now working for the ”enemy.” Favre was pushed out of Green Bay, he did not leave voluntarily. Packer fans need to remember that whenever they start trashing the new Golden Boy of Minnesota!!!

                                         Favre is probably thinking, “Oh yeah, I still got it!!!”

The Denver Broncos finally lost and the St. Louis Rams finally won!!! As of right now, only the Indiannapolis Colts and New Orlean Saints remain undefeated. I always find it hilarious when great teams end up losing to really shitty ones. I will be laughing my ass off if the Saints end up losing to the Rams or Bucs. Come on, that’s what makes football so much fun!

So keep watching and cheering on the ‘Boys!!! Ciao!

Due to popular demand and searches, I realized that the true appeal of my blog is not so much the stats and plays teams make during games, but rather the pictures of ridiculously hot NFL players. Lets be honest, that was one of the main reason for my interest in the game. It wasn’t until I actually started understanding football that I realized there was more to it than young warriors in skin-tight uniforms, showcasing firm butts and rock-hard thighs. So as a salute to all of ya’ll that follow my blog, here’s a little something to put a smile (or leer) to your face!

 (Yo gotta love a man holding a baby, especially if that man is Demarcus Ware, linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys who likes to snack on quarterbacks during his spare time!!!)

 Does he look better in or out of his uniform?

Okay, I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, do bear with me! Here is my countdown of the top 5 sexiest quarterbacks in the league:

5. He’s young and he’s hot, both on and off the field. Matty Ice is definitely the guy you take home to meet your parents.

4. Come on, would I really leave out my main man, Tony Romo.

 

3. Matt Cassel may not have chemistry with his Kansas City teammates, but something tells me he would have no such problem with the rest of us.

 He’s the one on the right, in case you were wondering!

2. Tom Brady…. WTF?! I know, but keep in mind that Brady is married to like the sexiest woman in the world and there actually is another quarterback to give Tom a run for his money in the sexy department

 

1. Mark Sanchez is one of the hottest new quarterbacks in the leaque, and both Jet fans and the female species would agree.

 Need I say more…

So that is my list! Do ya’ll agree or disagree; did I leave anyone out? Trust me when I say that on Sundays you will be praising God for completely different reasons. Ciao!!!

Hey guys, sorry it took so long to make a post, but unless I had something constructive to write (instead of rentless  rambling and bitching) I wasn’t going to bother posting!

The Cowboys are now 4-2, beating the now also 4-2 Atlanta Falcons 37-21 at home. Oh happy days are here again!!!! In a way Dallas has finally redeemed itself by beating a formidable team(and by formidable I mean a team with a winning record) in a good ‘ole kick-ass fashion. The Falcons were 4-1 coming into the game with Matt Ryan having gone 142 passes without a sack and going down twice all season…. until the Cowboys defense got ahold of him and made him miserable with 4 sacks, two interceptions, and two fumbles. Hehehehe….

Romo, as opposed to Matty Ice, had a pretty damn good game, finishing 21 0f 29 for 311 yards and 3 touchdowns. His biggest play came right at the end of the first half when it was second-and-goal from the 5 and Dallas was out of timeouts. Romo eluded three defenders, popped up and threw a touchdown pass to Crayton that stretched the lead to 17-7 at halftime. Had he taken the sack, time would’ve run out without Dallas getting any points. Now that’s finesse!!!! Oh, and lets not forget those two long runs Romo made that nearly caused me to have a coronary and probably sent Jason Garrett into epileptic seizures! Talk about sending Tom Brady a message, “Hey, look what I can do!”

Another big star for today’s game was Miles Austin (hence the pic at the top). Austin proved his incredible performance in his first career start 2 weeks ago against the Kansas City Chiefs was no fluke by catching six more passes for 171 yards and two long touchdowns today, cementing Dallas’ victory!!! And just in case any of ya’ll want another incentive to watch football, here is Austin up close and personal (pretty sexy with that tan skin and green/hazel eyes)…

 (Miles Austin on the far left, no fucking clue on the two guys in the middle, and Demarcus Ware on the far right)

So I’m feeling pretty damn smug after today’s game and look forward to seeing my ‘Boys kick some Seahawk ass next week!!! As I said before, this game proves that Dallas has the talent and capacity to win games that count and make that play-off drive (and post-season victories) that we Dallas fans have been waiting over 13 years for. It’s too early to start uncorking the champaign and singing “We Are the Champions,” but today’s win was one step towards acheiving the dream.

So let’s keep the faith alive and fingers crossed!!!! Ciao!!!

P.S. For you chicks who still aren’t convinced football can be pretty fun, here’s Matt “Matty Ice” Ryan

 Trust me when I tell you that the rear view is just as good as the front’s… ; )

 

I think we’ve all come to realize, no matter how much we may bitch and moan, most college students care about their grades. Sure some of us like to say we don’t care, but when we’re staring at that blank piece of paper waiting…waiting…and waiting for that information to come to our minds their is a part of our souls freaking out that we won’t remember the answer to a 2 point question.  Midterms are approaching and instead of cracking the spine on our books and trying to read the miniscule text to remember what the professor taught; we may find ourselves procrastinating. Writing  and Reading blogs about studying instead of, ACTUALLY studying.

My name is Dar…I’m a senior within  10 hours of graduation. I think its time for both you and I to admit that Midterms Matter, or else we may be looking at our tests trying to convine ourselves (even though there is a minus next to it we still got an A).

Honesty:

In order to be an effective college student you have to be honest with yourself. In all probability, you aren’t  a genius. There is no way in hell you are able to learn the entirety of what it took a proffessor to teach you in one night. You aren’t a genius, if you have a test soon be honest with yourself and stop reading my blog, and go study in a library. Stop procrastinating Damnit!!!! You aren’t Einstein you need to study.

Don’t Negotiate your grades. By negotiating your grades. I mean self-negotiation.(e.g, If I fail this test I can get an A on the next one)

Sure you have the final and maybe another test to pad your grades if you happen to fail the midterm, but lets face the facts. If you get an F on the midterm and a F on the previous test, the probability of you passing the Final with an A is rather slim. Especially if you prepare for your final the way you prepared for your other two tests. If you screw up the midterm…there is still hope. There is still a rope in the well, but you’ve got to be strong enough to pull yourself out of the well.

What Do I Mean? I mean that if you screw up your midterm you better start studying for that final as hard as you can NOW! This means countless unwanted hours in the library, no time with friends, less drinking, and less crazy ass parties. This means its time for you to seriously buckle down and hire a tutor named Jebidiah who’s life consists of eating, sleeping, and chemistry. You will emmulate Jebidiah. You will pull up your pants and know nothing of current events, and your poor blog will be oh-so neglected. But when the final rolls around you will know about the class you’re failing. YOU will FINALLY UNDERSTAND that subject you’ve been failing.

<–Your Tutor Jebediah

The Best way to study for midterms is to start early, but if you’re reading this blog post you probably haven’t started early. In fact, there is a huge chance that the midterm you should be studying for happens to be tomorrow.

In that case, Cramming is a subtle art.

   Cramming is for the corageous at heart. Those of us who never learn that spreading out studying is easier, and constantly wait until the last minute to re-learn everything we’ve forgotten. The horrible thing about cramming is that its totallyaddictive. If you luck out an get an A on a test and you crammed all of the information for the test in 5 minutes, you’re always going to think of the one time cramming worked for you. Honestly, getting an A+ on a test and cramming is really rare if you haven’t paid attention in class, done any homework, or studied for the class in general. Here is my blog post on cramming tips: (http://daronline.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/cramming-study-techniques-what-you-need-to-know-to-cram-info-in-your-noggin-in-one-night/)

Either way what you’re doing in the Middle of the School Year does matter, and its very important that you are honest with yourself academically in order to be succesful for the rest of the school year.

Yours,

Dar

Hey guys, so glad to be back with good news…. the Cowboys beats the Carolina Panthers 21-7!!!! Am I the only one that is hearing bells a-ringing and angels a-singing????

What makes me the happiest about this game was that the defense finally woke up and ended the stigma of being the only team in the league with no sacks or interceptions. On Sunday, they had three of each….. ah the joy!!! Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night was rookie linebacker Victor Butler, who in just 5 snaps  had 2 sacks with the second one resulting in Jake Delhomme (Panther’s quarterback) fumbling the ball in the fourth quarter to end the game.

I have to admit thought, it was not all smooth sailing. The Cowboys offense struggled during the first half, going into the locker room trailing 0-7. I was so pissed I was speaking in tongues!!!! Another source of worry was that Felix Jones, who had a great game with 94 yards on only 8 carries including a 40 yarder on his last carry, was once again injured and sat out for the rest of the game. Which left in place only one runningback: Tashard Choice… and I gotta say, that kid can run and pound it in like nobody’s business! We have a good running game and with Marion Barber more likely than not to be back in the game on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, I feel a great sense of relief. Romo, though interceptionless, was also touchdownless (yeah, I know those aren’t real words but on a blog I can spell however the hell I want)! He was 22 of 33 for 255 yards, with no deep balls and avoiding traffic like I avoid Jehovah’s Witnesses! It was good that he was careful but I miss the gunslinging Romo of 2007, the one who took the team to 13-3 and made them of the most intimidating offenses in the league!!!!

My ‘Boys are now 2-1 and going up against a team 3-0. Hopefully after Sunday that team that will be 3-1!!! Ciao for now and keep those fingers crossed!!!

Okay, it is official: The two writers on this blog are Tom Brady crazy! I will write later about actual football and probably not mention Tom Brady at all, but I had to include this picture on the blog. This is for you Daryle!

Giselle is sooooo lucky and his son is so cute!!!!

OK, as everyone and their dog probably knows by now, the Dallas Cowboys lost their home-opener to the New York Giants… and just in case that wasn’t bad enough, they lost in their brand new $1.12 billion stadium! Talk about pain and humiliation!!!!

Oh, and I do want to make one thing clear for all the Cowboy-haters out there who think it would be so much fun to taunt a Cowboy’s fan right after a Dallas loss. At least have the balls to be out of your car when you start spewing out that shit! I have to say, I didn’t know there were so many New York fans in Waco, but the two pussies I happened to encounter did all their teasing from the security of their moving car!

With that off my chest, I also want to address all the Cowboy fans who won’t stop bitching about what a terrible team we have and how Romo should go. Now, Romo had a shitty game going 13/27, 127 yards, and three interceptions; there is no doubt that he is partly to blame over losing the game, but even then Dallas had a one-point lead with 3:40 left in the fourth quarter. Do we also need to place some blame on the defense, who didn’t even lay a finger on Eli, or the secondary, who couldn’t cover dirt? Yeah, eveyone is partly to blame for the loss… but it was one loss! THIS IS WEEK 2!!!! Chances are, the Cowboys will lose again, because no team will have a perfect season, and anyone who is rational should know this.

We lost 33-31! We were not blown out, but the loss lies more with the mistakes we inflicted on ourselves rather than anything the Giants did. They simply took advantage when a situation was presented. I actually respect the Giants for what they were able to accomplish in 2007 and I think Eli is one hell of a quarterback (I do, however, wish someone would put a muzzle on Brandon Jacobs)… but I am glad that the Cowboys and the Giants will meet again on December 6. I want Eli on his back more often than not, and I want Marc Colombo or Flozell Adams to ram the football down Jacobs’ throat! I want vindication, and I know my team wants it to.

The Dallas Cowboys are my team, and although I am disappointed with the loss, I am not going to write them off. The season will be over when it’s over, and Dallas is still one of the best teams in the NFC. So come on Dallas fans, quit putting down the ‘Boys and actually show some encouragement! WE ARE NOT PHILADELPHIA!!!!! We support our team, we cheer them on, and we should know that anything is possible! After all, isn’t that what makes football so much damn fun!!!

So keep the chins up and show some love for America’s Team!!! Ciao!!!
