I Guess I Missed Something

[Boom]

I loved that the team could score 40+. I hated that team needed to score 40+.

After the game, I found myself more relieved than happy.

I have American stations on cable. I could have watched the game on a Canadian station but I watched it on the local NBC station. Probably 33% of my stations are American.

Do Canadian broadcasters commentate on the Canadian stations or do they borrow licensing from NBC?

I'm watching the replays and I see a team that is playing with pure, unadulterated joy. Then look at the whining here and wonder...

Let me put it this way: If your child's report card contained four A's and four D's, would you just concentrate on the A's or would you look at the big picture? The critics/worriers are looking at the big picture.

It is just part of the cable package. No over commentary. Although, if you watch a normal American station like NBC and the same show is on a Canadian network station, you get the Canadian commercials.

The Canadian stations do not cut over HD stations however.

I thought we won, against a Division rival, and had an impressive showing by the entire offense.

That mean I'm happy we gave up 35 points? Not by any wild stretch of the imagination. I just don't understand why some people want to be a forum PITA.

Well, some people hate their lives, and use anonymous forums like this one as a vehicle for disgorging the bile that has built up in them... they'd be completely miserable if the Cowboys started winning on them...

It's annoying, I know, but console yourself with knowing they'll never know the real pleasure that the rest of us do from being Cowboys fans...

Romo, Witten, the offensive line... nobody seems to want to focus on those aspects of the game, which is too bad, because all of them were very, very good tonight...

Maybe they should all be forced to read "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" for men. Society, and especially the internet is very negative and prefers to focus on the 35 points we gave up rather than the 45 we scored.

I have a similar philosophy for life-- don't sweat the petty things, pet the sweaty things...

This philosophy has made me the widely beloved internet legend I am...

Let me put it this way, that's a stupid analogy.

I can be as negative as anyone on here but I am never a PITA.

If you are just an internet legend, I am afraid to ask what sweaty thing you have been petting.

Should you not congratulate the child on the four A's and then ask how he can improve the D? Or is better to scream he sucks and is a loser?

you wouldn't berate your kid for the Ds and ignore the As

oh wait, you probably would

much better reply than mine

You should harp on the D's, destroy your child's confidence, and be proud of it.

You know, I didn't know what PITA stood for until I did an internet search of its definition. Then, I found it ironic that I am probably the best definition of the acronym. Amazing, yet true...

PITA ?

When did the Cowboyszone become an education forum? I guess I truly DID miss something.

I think you must be mistaking me with HeavyHitta or Timbo which is rather offensive I kust say, wipe the steam off the monitor so you can read my name properly...and stay off those sites that inspire perspiration.

I agree but if your kid had 4 A's and 4 D's after the 1st week of school would you be as worried. Its a new Offense I don't care what anyone says, its a new Defense, there is hardly any info to gauge the trends of this team. I give the team to the 25% mark before I worry about anything. They team won, it needs some more work but a win is a win.
