The dreaded Cowboys

Why would a state like Texas claim to have America's team? Texas is SO NOT AMERICA. Little kids don't grow up thinking, "Man, I would love to live in Texas." The only redeeming quality the entire state has is the Dallas Cowboy CHEERLEADERS!
I watched the Cowboys beat the Panthers last night. The first half was a sleeper and all my suspicions of Romo were being played out as true. He really isn't very good. However, the second half was 30 minutes of redemption for the QB, regardless of what I think of him. He consistently kept his offense on the field and by the time the game was over, he had led his team to a quality win. Still, one can't help but wonder if this might be his last year in the big D.
Well, my Shehawks are pathetic. Time to fire the coach. How can you have a 3rd and two, and throw two passes to end the game. GET YOUR FIRST DOWN.
Still, it isn't that painful, not as painful as watching my Mariners not make the playoffs again. Baseball will always be more of a sport than football. In fact, it's more of a sport than the other major three. (I know, I included hockey, don't ask me why.)
Is it me, or is the fact that alcohol sales and promotions for sporting events so integral in American culture is an oxymoron? Sports is about attaining the highest physical ability possible, and well drinking, is not. I know why though. Ever have just enough beers to believe you are one of those athletes. Hell yeah. That's usually about the time you tear the ACL deciding to go out and play tackle football.
Is it me, or are women tennis players more manly than men tennis players? I went to a women's tournament in Manhatten Beach Ca, and the Williams sisters were there, I was surprised at how big they were in person. Very imposing. In fact, even a short tennis player like Date from Japan was thick.
