Dak Prescott. Not exactly a Joe Theisman replay, but close and something I didn’t watch more than once. Not to be cold but… any truth to the rumor that Dak was crying while being carted off the field because he never signed that huge, multi-year contract???
Speaking of the Cowboys… I realize they went on to win that game with Andy “Big Red” Dalton at the helm, but Andy Dalton? Cowboy fans are bummin’.
I heard an announcer say during one NFL game last Sunday, “he doesn’t want to make any mistakes here…” Tell me, who wants to make a mistake anywhere, anytime? It doesn’t matter who the announcer was because it’s been said before and will be said again. It’s just a lousy cliché.

Jimmy “G” Garoppolo. Remember him, Pats’ fans? We thought Belichick was crazy dealing him for a second round pick. The guy cannot stay on the field! He tried last weekend only to be lifted at halftime. The coaches said it was to protect him because he wasn’t fully healthy. Hmmm. I’m sure it had nothing to do with his “15” rating in the first half! Heck, my rating was nearly that high while I sat on the couch!

Hunting, you’re doing it wrong. 57-year old Kurt Johnston of Pickford, Michigan, has lost his hunting privileges for life and will spend three months in jail for allegedly killing 18 wolves and 3 bald eagles, amongst other charges. Given the charges, he is also banned from hunting in the 48 members states of the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact (created to promote compliance with the laws, regulations, ordinances, resolutions and administrative rules that relate to the management of wildlife resources in the respective member states)
I tell you, there’s some funny people out there, specifically those creating Geico television commercials. How about the ones pertaining to the ants (aunts) in the home and the other with rats (Ratt) in the basement? Funny stuff.

“In that case I don’t want no part
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin’ me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion”
