Peyton Manning on T-day.

I hope we're ready for it.

For all the suck players that turn superstar against the Cowboys, we actually have faired well against Peyton for some reason.

As for the draft pick conversation, Ryan Leaf was a bad pick whether you were a fan of the pick at the time or not.

Denver with Peyton is going to beat this team like they stole something.

That doesn't make sense. If the broncos are going to whoop us, why would they need to steal?

'Beat us like a rented mule' might be better.

Otherwise, Biff Tannen, make like a tree and beat it.

I was in KC for the Cowboys, Chiefs game way back when. Almost 20 years now....dang.

I remember one of the guys who was a Chiefs fan called his buddy to cancel his bet because Dallas had "part Kangaroo's" on their team and that wasn't fair. This was after Jay Novacek hurdled a KC defender.

We played on FOX this past Thanksgiving. That means we play on CBS next Thanksgiving.

In order to play on CBS, we have to host an AFC team since CBS broadcasts AFC conference games and interconference games hosted by an NFC team playing an AFC team.

That leaves Kansas City and Denver as the only two AFC teams we'll play in 2013.

KC is a bottom dweller. Maybe they think the Cowboys popularity alone can make that a ratings winner, but promoting a Peyton vs. Romo duel will be better for ratings. That's why I say it's going to be Denver vs. Dallas.

I think it's Thanksgiving, whoever. I imagine those games are on in the background of most houses on Thanksgiving. Dallas adds to that but I think they could put anyone on and get good ratings.

By the way, I'll go out on a limb and say we will play the Raiders on Thanksgiving, not the Broncos. I have a 50% chance of being right. My reasoning is the Broncos game can be a prime time game and the Raiders one wouldn't be so they will pick it to drive the ratings up since that holiday gives ratings.

Yet you're happy about it? Strange from a "Cowboys" fan.

But the notion that a fan can't complain about a pick if he initially supported it is complete nonsense. Results are all that matter.

So by this logic, the way you achieve those results doesn't matter.

That's sad. Our fans are now resorting to a "anything at all cost" perspective.

There are thousands and thousands of people who have driven while drunk but yet made it safely home everytime. I'm not sure you could find many dumb enough to believe "results are all that matter" when you apply that logic here.
