no love for the cowboys

so i'm watching the game tonight, and its exactly what you could expect...fairly boring display of football from two teams not really going anywhere (and i'll save everyone time....i'm fully aware that the pack are hurting into the foreseeable future as well). several thoughts run through my head as i watch...

1) first of all, what's up wiht this split abc/espn coverage? i like the idea of two games being on monday night because there's a better chance to see a decent game. however, that crap they pulled tonight with the first quarter or so of the taints game (no typo there, i promise) on abc and then they switch it up when the other game starts. what? is this going to be a regular feature from week to week?

2) howie long manning the donation phones? come on! i understand its for a good cause and all, but seeing his sorry ass mug manning the lines makes me want to ask for my check back.

3) speaking of the telethon, anyone see anything about jerry's kids this year? it had to suffer from bad timing. did they meet they're goal at the final tympany?

4) has anyone made the correlation between the faces of john elway and cheryl crow? do you think that lance armstrong really is in love with elway, but could never come out of the closet, so he went with the next best thing?

5) and finally to the real point i started this post is the first place, what the fuck is up with dallas' gay-ass duds this year? are they historic or something? if by something i mean butt ugly, then i've answered my own question. but they really suck. what were they thinking? as much as i hate to admit this, i miss the classic look they wore when i learned to loathe them.

which, by the way, i hope that my buddies are enjoying cupcakes or a cake with tonights game. or was that only a tradition when the cowboys were good?
