Commentary: Let's quit acting like Cowboys are special

by Mac Engel
tengel@ star-telegram.com

ARLINGTON -- Today's TV viewing possibilities include a program on how to make a bacon-flavored cake, even Texas Longhorns women's soccer, and on and on. Yet despite this inundation of non-essentials, television remains America's great validator.

---snip---

The fact that 11 of the Cowboys' 16 games are in a "prime" or featured time speaks to their ability to play the role of Lindsay Lohan in the NFL's regular-season TV production. She, and they, used to be so hot, and now they're just a wreck we love to watch all the while hoping they can reprise their role as that hot chick from Mean Girls.

Lindsay stopped being “hot” around the time she made that Herbie movie.

RE: Lindsay stopped being “hot” around the time she made that Herbie movie.

The same could be said for me... after I went topless in the "Patterns of Force" episode!

Yeah, yeah, Spock, but none of my 'Boys... were in either "Patterns" nor Herbie!

Now, Bend, as the Dallas Cowboys go, they make a great... ManBra--

Sorry, but they are looking at 8-8 at best this season.

The sad thing is that my kids were at the right age where I saw Parent Trap on video a few dozen times. It's a shame to watch it now, knowing the train wreck of a future that lay ahead.

Then again, the saddest thing about that movie is that Natasha Richardson was quite attractive in it, and I was sorry to hear what happened to her a few years back.

Re JRios1968's:

Thanks, JR! I've been looking for that picture... of Lindsay almost in her wedding dress!

Re Perdogg's: She looks good for 40 too bad she’s only 25M

That's just right for me... in robot years!

And the bitch's just right for me... in dog years--

Ya know, here in Spain, Lindsay's just the right, over the age of consent... and at least six months from the grave!

I wore black... at my wedding!

Bendy, have Lindsay move a little to her right and turn around... that corner post if blocking my view!

Lindsay Lohan is just too trashy... for my taste--

If y'all are that harsh on Lindsay, what do y'all say about me... when I'm not here?

Mongo just pawn of love... to Lindsay and Jessica!

My sign says... it all.

Say "Goodnight"... Dick--

Didn't I say that... last night?

To get back to the subject at hand, if Vick and my Dream Iggles don't win it all... I'm pulling the trigger!

Eagles, merd! And the Cowboy, they suck... and my Pats will win it all this year!

Fill you hands... you Boston sumbitch!

Hey, Big? Your grandpappy... has come to his senses!

Re: Kinky for Perry at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2768929/posts

As to Kinky Friedman supporting Rick Perry, if I were Jewish... there is no way I would trust Obama to keep Israel from being destroyed by the Liberals and ragheads.

When they’re hanging down to elbow level, it’s time to stop with the no-bra look.

Hot or not, they’re as fake as Obama’s birth certificate.

Israel will win out, when they nuke Damascus into a smoking heap, the rest of the world will get it, too...
