From the art deco environs of Air Cowboys America, the 50,000-watt burning churning force of equality, fact, plausible deniability and justice and the Armenian Way of life. From Farmers Branch, where we don't need stinkin museums because in our own way, we are individual museums!
Next up, Dixie Dough's Kitchen, followed by the 40-day forecast for half-acre farming.

Great game! Cowboys did not lose their composure. Wade coached a credible game and RW stepped up and Garrett didn't gamble, didn't lose composure. And further, just thankful RW showed some spark -- and hands -- for a change.

Now for the little things you may have not caught, each perhaps with cosmic significance, maybe.

1. The sidelines demeanor of both coaches was, at first glance, the same.
Reid and Wade were largely stoic. Yet, one coach excuded control and confidence and with a solid game plan in mind. It was Reid.

2. The defense is beginning to get swagger. I don't mean a lot. But just enough swagger to cause big men to act the fool as soon as they make a big play. Or any play. These eruptions of on-field promotion seem out of proportion with their overall play, unit-wise and individually.

3. I liked the way Garrett and Tony went right to RW on the first play I believe. That was a shot over the bow of the U.S.S. Beagle that you overdefense Austin at your own peril.

4. Was Austin smothered that much that he disappeared largely most of the game? OK, this is not one of the little things but I thought I'd sneak it in.

5. The pink, thankfully, is gone. Football got back to its noble look.
But the announcers did go on and on about coach Johnson. Self-aborbed industry, i.e. Gene Upshaw helmets with GU. And most of the fans, went, Goo?

6. Why does Romo continue to throw into the ground? Is this the QB coach's answer to past INTs? Has Romo been now instructed to throw it away low instead of throwing it away high?

7. I miss seeing the go-go girls at Jerra's palace. I think Jerra might be one of the most visionary people in the NFL. Sports Entertainment in the 21st century.

8. Cowboys secondary/LBs need drills on tipped balls. That or the linebackers (Thanks, Keith) are suddenly doing great at tipping balls.

9. Cameras spent waaaay too much getting face time for coach Sean McDermott. I think the ABC crew developed man love for Sean last night.
I am one of them purists who ask: I don't want to see the coaches and fans, stupid, I'd rather you show the players on the field or on the sidelines. That is what the NFL is about -- players, not fat or young coaches or fans dressed up stupidly in the stands. :mad:

10. I think the Eagles defense on front was intimidated by our line. Not our line's play so much but by their physicality and demenaor. :)
