| Cowboy's Trivia Question of the Week! Who is the oldest player on the Cowboys' roster? Last Week's Answer: Danny White |
Tim's Talk: Week 16
1. Sorry for the delay on the talk. Had computer-internet issues last
week so I will talk about the Lions and the Eagles game. Oh boy. I
said all along that this teams fate was going to depend on how well
this team did in December because that is where the struggles
begin. Well they seemed to be starting. We had to come back on
the road against a bad Lions team and could not stop their offense
and a week later the offense decides to take a vacation. Oh boy.
And now boys you have no one to blame but yourselves. When Bill
Parcells left, you blamed him for being old school and to set in his
ways to adapt and adjust down the stretch and for being to tough in
practice saying that was the reason for wearing down so late in the
year? No more. Now that you have Mr. Fix it in charge you have no
one to blame but yourselves. Better step it up because you have
two games on the road and I know the Boys do not want to go to
Lambeau in January.
2. What was up with Tony Romo? He just could not connect with
the receivers. Every pass seemed not to be hitting the mark. Was it
the thumb. Maybe. But he had those problems before the injury
happened as well. I know they say not to pull Romo for Brad
Johnson because if Tony could still throw let him play. But this is the
same argument I made earlier in the year for sitting Terence
Newman, a healthy Brad Johnson might have been more effective
than a hurt Tony Romo. If his injury affected his play, the coaches
should have pulled him.
3. I am sorry but I am not buying into the Jessica Simpson
argument. Are you serious? You think Tony Romo is going to be
distracted because his girlfriend is there? And what is up with the
folks at Fox having to cut to a shot of Simpson every so often.
Stupid. I don’t watch Patriots games but I doubt Bridget Monynahan
and Gisele Bundchen get significant airtime when Brady was dating
them. And I don’t remember PTI or Sportscenter doing cover stories
on when Brady and Moynahan announced that they were expecting
after he broken up with her and started dating Bundchen. Granted,
Brady has left his mark and Romo is just getting started plus he is
quarterbacking the Cowboys and not some scrub team. I don’t
recall Troy Aikman getting any flack for dating Sandra Bullock,
Janine Turner or Lorrie Morgan during his time as QB of the Boys.
Please. The only thing that would be distracting about this is Romo
knows that it will be mentioned every time she goes to a game or
not. That is what happens when a celebrity dates a celebrity or
when sports mixes it up with Hollywood. He knows it will be talked
about and has to deal with that. But the only thing more ridiculous is
the coverage of this.
4. All right lets get to TO. I said at the beginning of the year that
there would be a TO controversy at some point during the season
and I had kind of backed off on that the last few weeks but now I
think I am starting to look like a genius. I can just sense the blood
boiling by him not getting the ball quickly enough. Let me talk to you
TO. You think Tony Romo, Jason Garrett are seriously trying to
keep you from getting the ball? I mean they should be fired if that is
the thinking. Get a grip TO. All receivers go through this. I know
you are saying all the right things at the press conferences and stuff
but get a grip. And Like I said at the beginning of the season, a
comment that John Madden made about that you need to get
involved early in the game or you are not as effective. I saw that
with that dropped pass. So Mr. Owens, you can’t be focused on the
game because you did not catch a pass in the first half? You know
what would get me focused. I can think of 25 million reasons but
one for sure is that you are a PROFESSIONAL football player
playing in the NFL! Is that motivation and focus enough? Get a grip
and back off your boy Romo and his girl Jessica? No one has ever
been a bigger distraction to a team than you have. You think Romo
wanted to answer questions about your suicide attempt last year?
5. And also get off Roy Williams back. The way people are talking
about him you think he was a dirty player. He is not. To compare
him with a Chuck Cecil or an Andre Waters is absurd. The bottom
line is that Roy Williams horse collar tackle was legal for a number of
years. And they make it illegal and impulse takes over , the
adrenaline is rushing and he forgets. That’s all it is but the media
are vilifying him is just stupid. Yes he needs to stop but he is not a
dirty player. Get a grip.
6. Bottom line is the Cowboys need to regain composure focus and
start reestablishing the running game. Players have got to step up
with the suspension and injuries of certain players and this
upcoming game which will not be seen by me because of the stupid
NFL Network dilemma will test their character. And how ironic that
former practice squad QB is now the starting QB fro the Panthers.
Win this game big boys or lose the conference.

Newman Helps Out In Dallas Community
We focus much of our attention to what is wrong with today's
athletes. We don't spend nearly enough time commending the
many great athletes that do great things in their community. I was
offered to post this article and pictures and figured I needed to
spread the word. If Terence Newman will spend his valuable time
working for charity, the least I can do is tell people about it.
PLANO FAMILY GOES HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH DALLAS
COWBOYS’ TERENCE NEWMAN IN DIRECT ENERGY
BACKYARD CHALLENGE
Teenaged boys, friends get a feel for “Game Day” NFL action with
home field advantage
Dallas, TX (December 14, 2007) – It was an opportunity of a lifetime
for one lucky Plano family Friday, as they hosted friends and
neighbors to a backyard barbecue and a game of flag football in
their own backyard featuring Dallas Cowboys Cornerback and fan-
favorite, Terence Newman.
Two of the Sills’ teenage sons and their buddies got to test their
mettle and get a taste of NFL game-day playing with Newman, who
stepped away from his role as one of the NFL’s top coverage men
to quarterback the friendly match-up as part of the Direct Energy
Backyard Challenge with Terence Newman – an online contest
Jean Sills entered and won last month.
“We still feel like we’re dreaming,” said Sills, whose family also
attended the Cowboys November 29th game against Green Bay ,
where they were announced as the Backyard Challenge winners
during an in-game break on the field. “Direct Energy has brought
as an early holiday present with this contest and the opportunity to
meet Terence Newman. He’s such an approachable and all-around
great guy, it’s been amazing to be able to spend time with him here
at our home.”
In addition to the flag football game and doling out a few tips to his
new teammates, Newman, who arrived on the Cowboys bus along
with team mascot Rowdy, took time to meet with the Sills and their
guests, sign autographs and take pictures before dinner was
served up.
“This has been a really fun afternoon with the Sills family, their
friends, and the Direct Energy team,” said Newman. “Cowboys fans
are the best in the NFL, and having an opportunity to take time to
hang out with them and toss around the football helps remind us
why we’re out there each week – it’s for our fans, to give them
something to cheer about and be proud of.”
The contest, which closed on November 24th, is part of an
endorsement deal between Newman and Direct Energy, which is
the official electricity provider to the Dallas Cowboys and Texas
Stadium, and a provider of both electricity and energy-related
services to Newman himself. As part of the Backyard Challenge,
Direct Energy’s President of North American Mass Markets and
Dallas resident Phil Tonge presented Newman with a $10,000
donation in support of the Terence Newman Rising Stars
Foundation, a new initiative launched last week to help young
athletes develop their football and educational skills through high
school and into college.
“The Cowboys are having an amazing season, and all of Texas is
getting Cowboys fever as they move closer to post-season action –
the fact that Terence took time out of his schedule to join us at the
Sills’ home and gave his full attention to everyone who came out to
play and meet him is a testament to his commitment to giving back
to his fans,” said Tonge. “Direct Energy has always made it a
priority to be active members of the communities in which we
operate, and we’re proud to be one of the first to support Terence’s
Foundation as he gets his program running here in Dallas .”
