Sheep bleating is music to Owens / T.O. Promises to be a headache for Big Bill

Randy Galloway is a Democrat.

Randy Galloway is the best sportswriter in the history of the Metroplex. Better than the immortal Blackie Sherrod, even.

I'm of the opinion that we'll be in love with T.O. for a year, maybe two.

That may be all it will take to get to the show.

If I sat down to design a team that existed for the sole purpose of me hating them I couldn't have done as thurough a job as Jones has.

He's won more, or as many, Super Bowls as any of your faves, though, hasn't he?

It's about winning, baby!!!

I've always detested Randy Galloway. When he was on WBAP, he acted like calling Jerry Jones "Boss Hogg" was the wittiest thing ever said, so he would say it around twenty times a show. I have always thought he sounded like the drunk guy at the next table who thought he knew everything and wouldn't keep his voice down. I understand that some people like him, but what always bugged me about him is that he's the classic sports writer who knows all the moves a guy with three Super Bowl rings should make, but has never, to my knowledge, successfully done anything in competitive athletics.

Owens has a big mouth, but he doesn't have multiple drug offenses like Irvin, hasn't been caught fleeing the scene of a multiple homicide like Ray Lewis, and hasn't plowed into a cop like Randy Moss.

I think the Cowboys are trying to put together a Super Bowl run this year. Owens is probably the best receiver in the NFL. If they can upgrade the offensive line, they can make a run at it. Bledsoe is very much like Aikman. Give him time, and he's one of the best, but he's got the mobility of a small office building. I would have liked to have seen the Cowboys keep Keyshawn, as Keyshawn shallow, and Glenn and Owens deep would have been great.

Galloway's not an athlete. He's a sportswriter. He's paid to critique the athletes, the owners, the coaches, the umpires, the cheerleaders, the water boy.

And he does a witty, superb job of tweaking the noses of anybody who breaks a sweat in competitive sport.

I'd love to see the Cowboys go to the show, but the only old quarterback who's done that was Jim Plunkett with the Raiders in 1981.

Offensive line is a gaping need, especially now that Larry Allen's been cut loose. Unless they plug a couple of holes, da Boyz are stuck at going out of the playoffs in the second, if not the first, round.

I guess it's just different tastes on Galloway. I agree with you about the offensive line. I've always believed that the success of the nineties Cowboys was due to the O-line and Emmitt. I remember a several games where the Cowboys took the opening kickoff, drove eighty yards, and took between eight and nine minutes off the clock. The defense was good, too, and held the other team to three downs and a punt. The Cowboys took the next drive and did the same thing. Three minutes into the second quarter, the Cowboys were fourteen points up, and the time of possession was 17:20 to :40. The Cowboys had a great defense, but the secret was that the offense held onto the ball so long that the other team didn't really have time to figure out what worked against the Cowboys defense. That's what other teams hated. Punt against the Cowboys, and Emmitt was good for five yards a pop, and you might not see the ball again for eight game minutes.

The two biggest things that bother me about Jones are (1) the way he treated Landry (it was time for Landry to go, but it could have been handled much more diplomatically), and (2) the fact that he and Johnson couldn't put aside their differences. I don't think there's any way the 49ers take the Cowboys in the NFC championship with Johnson coaching, and I think Johnson could have pulled another Super Bowl with the talent that was there after the ninety-five championship. The Cowboys would have had seven Super Bowls if Johnson and Jones could have kept it together.

Not in the last 10 years, in fact for much of the last 10 years his team has been under 500 and/ or missing the playoffs. The Jones method did well for a while, but it led to him paying a lot of money for the past and the rebuild since then hasn't been terribly impressive.
