Never can say goodbye ...

PrintAll good things come to an end.
A Tribe Called Quest broke up.
Duane Allman died. Isaac Hayes died.
Robert Duvall wasn't in Godfather III.
The day has come, gentlemen. I will no longer be a regular front-page contributor to BTB. That honor is left to the able hands of Grizz, Raf, Jim Vance and GloryDayz88. I will continue to be a guest contributor though so you'll get to hear all about what brand of beer I'm drinking the next time a calamity strikes the 'Boys. Lord my team is hard on my liver. (Sidenote: I can't believe Tequiza has been discontinued! I'll miss consoling myself with that quirky beer).
I thank Grizz for allowing me to write for this awesome blog. I felt honored the day he chose me and I still do. He's gone out of his way to be patient while dropping nuggets of knowledge along the way. There's a reason everybody respects him.
I thank my man Brandon W for his friendship. The inclusiveness of his writing style is something to behold. He's shared an awful lot about his personal life and how the ups and downs of the season affected that. Most of all I'd like to nominate his wife for MOST AWESOME WIFE EVER for getting him tickets to a Cowboy game on his birthday. She deserves an infomercial!
I realize it's easy to take things for granted. I certainly have. It's hard to remember the days when I didn't have an outlet to express my joy, anger, frustration or passion for this team that I love. But it did exist. I've been in sports bars all over this country pulling for this team. It seems like people gravitate to Cowboys fans. I'd meet all kinds of different people: drug addicts, business men and woman, gang members, grandparents, college students, emo kids, faithful girlfriends, rednecks. All with an opinion about the 'Boys. This blog was the first place I came to that allowed me to express myself unabashedly. It was like the sports bar experience times a thousand. It's something I will always cherish about this blog.
So does this mean I'm leaving? Heck no! I'll be around to add my two cents. I'll be around to support Jim Vance and GloryDayz88. I'm particularly excited about these two guys. I think they will add a dynamic dimension to the blog. Welcome guys. I know you'll do good work. I'll be around to stick up for Bob Hayes (FAMU baby!), criticize the local Dallas media (it's a thankless job but someone has to do it), post silly youtube videos, and, most of all, sip that glistening, sparkling red Cowboy Kool-Aid.
Most of all this change will allow me to concentrate on two things: my studies and my wedding. I still have roughly about a year left to go in law school and I'm getting married in July. So if your near Orlando on July 11 feel free to come on down and kick it with the fam. We'll have plenty of Hennessey (my favorite drink) and other spirits. Just look for the group that's doing the Electric Slide at the reception. That's us.
Alright ya'll. I need to hit up IHOP for a Chicken Fajita omelette and wash it all down with some Bud Light. Stay true and blue guys.

Enough already. Tex feels like he’s stuck in a bad Awards show.
Speaking of Awards, Tex had the privilege of meeting Clint Eastwood last night at Cafe Luck. The tough-as-nails 78-year-old is everything that the Cowboys lack. Disciplined, creative, grounded, organized… a man with impeccable character.
So far Tex has has "the privilege of meeting".....
Jason Garrett
Troy Aikman
Clint Eastwood
Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore
Barry Bonds
Rafael Septein
…..Enough already we get it! You live a lavish life that we all wish we could have. So golf with Troy, drink your Chardonay and go to France with the beautiful (whatever her name is) and stick to commenting about Tony’s ass, Dumb Wade and Cowboys football. Enough with the name dropping.

"Stuck in a Bad Awards Show"? Do you have any tact or class?
The guy is saying goodbye and everyone’s wishing him good luck. If you don’t have something nice to say, then stay off the thread. I wish Clint would have stuck a cattle prod up your arse.

Of Cardinal unhappy with their contracts
lets forget Boldin… we have enough WRs and even Moss and Carter together can’t win you a Superbowl…
But it’s rare for a team with so many standout players grumbling about their contract status — most notably wide receiver Anquan Boldin, defensive tackle Darnell Dockett and strong safety Adrian Wilson
I’d like Jerry to exploit the Cardinals for their cheap ownership

Totally off the subject...
but I’d like to hear your opinions anyway. What do you think of Jerry hiring Dan Reeves as a “consultant” (General Manager) wink? Is Reeves capable of that? I know Jerry would never let his GM title go, but just try to imagine.
by beautifultyrant on Jan 30, 2009 2:03 PM CST reply actions
i think reeves is a good guy but i won't let him anywhere near our offense....
i kinda agree with aikman (or was it JJT) who said if you wanna hire him as a coach fine but consultants always seem obsessed about what’s going wrong as opposed to what’s going right. and i think if they hired reeves that can’t be serious about shanahan in 2010. cause those two guys hate each other.

We need a back-up QB.
We could run some Wildcat with Vick and Felix.
Probably wouldn’t cost a whole lot.

This is a great game face.
It’s all fun and jokes to Mr Romo..It would nice if he wore his cap properly.

Are you a Cowboy fan?
He’s at the freakin’ Pro Bowl!
WHERE IS HE KNOW????
He really should switch the hat around he looks like a street punk.

You're just complaining to complain
Your argument has no substance. If he turns his hat around will the win more and will that change made Wade smarter and you happier? Do you wnat him to be successful. Are you fan or a complainer? That goes for Montecito also. Stop being ignorant

No respect.
I coach baseball and would never allow one of my players to wear their hat backwards.It’s just something that you don’t do out of respect for your team.I’m sure there are a lot of coaches in the nfl that don’t allow it as well but i guess santa claus is okay with it.

Montecito Troy
Expecting Tony Romo, who has never won a playoff game and who may be the biggest choke in sports today, to carry himself with the class, dignity, and respect of Troy Aikman, who won three Super Bowls by the age of 29, is like comparing Jessica Simpson to Clint Eastwood.

The Sacramento Kings started from scratch years ago
when they couldn’t get past the Lakers in the playoffs. Albeit, they did so for salary cap reasons, but they are STILL not even fun to watch.
Football teams have so many players that it’s tough to just switch everybody up. I do agree, though, that these next 2-3 years will be dedicated to bringing back the integrity to this franchise. It’s not the entire team’s fault.

As the world turns...
Back to the daily drama. Its been days since the Bennett rappin fiasco. But not to worry! Now we have Tony supposedly cheating on Jessica (in her bed!) and Roy E. Williams claiming that the Lions practiced harder last year than the Pokes! Yeah. Am I crazy, or is the controversy and utter nonsense surrounding these guys actually eclipsing the the 90’s teams and the White House years, drug busts, etc, etc… It never ends, or ceases to amaze me.
This Tony Romo cheating on Jessica was only a joke article right?
Because some posters have seemed to take it seriously

doing my usual browsing and came across it. Don’t know if it is true but it’s making the rounds. Do a google it’s there. I think Star Magazine has it on the cover.

that's why I was posting on the other thread
about Romo needing to step up and be a leader. His personal life is way too visible for everyone to see. I know that it’s his personal life but he’s making a joke of himself and the Cowboys.
there's one difference though
the 90s teams won some playoffs. We can’t even get to the playoffs or when we do we’re one and out. But you know, “we are so talented”.
We're never gonna give you up, TH...
Never gonna let you down.
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry.
Never gonna say goodbye.
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.
I’ll also definitely miss your regular posts, dude. Your humorous colloquialisms and pop culture references compliment your sound judgment in analysis. Guess you’ll have to comment double-time to keep up.
all day man....
even tho my hometown is like the WORST place in cali…lol…

I don't know about that
I grew up in Stockton. It ranks dead last in literacy, 1st in foreclosures, and usually rivals Fresno for crime. Murders have been down this year, though.
It is only 1/2 from Sac, where I live now—maybe it’s a valley thing.

didn't know stockon was like that....
i’ve been there a couple times and i drive through it all the time. seems like a decent place. i guess looks can be deceiving.
bakersfield is actually getting better but there is still much much to be done. fresno seems to be getting worse.
Sac is my happy medium. glad i came here.
"They need security in the world, Craig!"
there are two halves to stockton...
the OK side, and the not-so-OK side. I recommend the former.
I’d also recommend the coast over the valley. ;-)

Yes, there are two halves of Stockton.
They are trying to clean up the downtown area and it does look really nice.
I taught middle school there for 3 years and every Monday I came to work there was new graffiti all over the walls. It will always be my hometown, though.

I remember telling people I was from Stockton, and several people said that was one stop they avoided when driving I5.
Living there, you don’t really notice it. I’m glad I’m in Sac too.
