Go Cowboys

I've been a Cowboys fan since I was 7 and they were winning in the early 90's. Yea I jumped on the bandwagon hard but I've stayed on that wagon through the Quincy Carter, Chad Hutcinson, and 7 years of other no name QB's.  (Quincy was ok) Tonight they play once again for the playoffs against the Eagles. I hate the Eagles. I can't stand their players (DeSean Jackson is an immature little boy) and I can't stand their stupid colors or dumb faces.

We play with Kyle Orton who is a 10 million dollar backup and can play and Devonte Holloman at middle linebacker calling the defensive plays. He is the backup backup middle LB. Plus our D-line is as beat up as our O-line was last year. It has to be a sort of a crazy game in order for the Cowboys to win. If we do then we might be able to pull out 1 playoff win but as bad as our defense is I doubt we'll make it past that.

I'm mostly a homer for my team and I can't stand anyone in my division, but this game is going to be a rough one. I'll always pick the Boys though. 34-31 Cowboys. Foles throws 2 picks (Scandrick and Holloman) and Witten has 10 catches and 2 tds.

It's a good list.

Top wins are wounding ALEC, de Blasio's landslide win in New York and Janet Yellen over Larry Summers. As far as long term wins go I would have to go with Janet Yellen who it looks like is going to be tough on the banks and seems almost prescient in her ability to predict the economy.

A very well written, uplifting post.

I do my best not to be a cynic and some days I win and others I have to start with the wine when I wake up. I believe that country is heading in the right direction and democrats will hold the white house for the next decade but it will take quite awhile to get all the extremists out of congress due to all the gerrymandering.
