Would love to get the resident Cowboys fans take on this. Seriously.

If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

Awww Geez now I have snorted milk out of my nose.

Because, you see, here in Oz "root" does not mean "support a team".

It is a euphemism for that thing that a "mummy and daddy who love each other very much" might well do in the privacy of their own home.

So rooting for a whole team must take some energy.....

All Bradie James is saying is there have been many players that came before the current team that made the Cowboys great. There may be some in the organization that have expected to win, just because they are "America's Team". They have learned that is not how things work. The current team hasn't earned their greatness.

I like it... Sounds like a guy that wants to prove himself and be among the greats that have played in Dallas.

Agreed. And it's nothing that Garrett hasn't been emphasizing with the team. He's been trying to instill a work ethic that Wade didn't push hard enough. This team hasn't done anything to earn the respect it seems to be handed at the beginning of every season.

even more if the roster enlargement for additional games had gone thru negotiations.

I loved that when I read it. I also read he's making them earn their silver pants. Rookies just get white.

I am genuinely excited to see this team under Garrett with the changes he's been implementing.

The Giants vs. Jets game has now been postponed until Monday at 7 because of the hurricane.

I take no offense to funny jokes. I'm just sick of people rhyming "nomo" and "homo" with Romo. Keep it original if you expect me to laugh, and that my friends is funny.

I think Tony Romo has poor taste in women. He went from Carrie Underwood to Jessica Simpson. Really? I'm no fan of Carrie Underwood but that's the textbook definition of trading down.

He went from Jessica Simpson to Carrie Underwood. Fandom aside, Jessica is sweet, incredibly down to earth and funny. Carrie has the personality of a wet mop when she's not reading a teleprompter. It was trading down.

Don't even get me started on Rapistberger. He's disgusting.

Maybe my love for the team is clouding my judgment, but Candice wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the fact that her brother is on one of the CW's shows. I love that team, and I love the players, but after what I've found out in the last year, I've fallen out of love with Tony Romo. Jason "Witten Kitten" is another story...

Whatever you want to say about the preseason, the 49'ers look like front runners for the Andrew Luck sweepstakes:

"It's a bitter pill to swallow when you're beat that thoroughly, in pretty much all phases," Harbaugh said. "I think defense wasn't quite as bad as special teams, and special teams wasn't quite as bad as offense."

Translation: The 49ers, in all phases, were bad and the offense stunk it up the most.
