The Big Game

So it was Cowboys and Giants last night on Sunday Night Football. To be honest it was a really good game, especially since the Cowboys won. The Giants were 11-2 on the season going in to the game last night which was the best record in the conference and the top spot for the playoffs. The Cowboys on the other hand were 8-5 and barely holding on to the sixth and final spot in the NFC playoffs. Just a few weeks ago, these teams met in New York and the Giants blasted the Cowboys 35-14. This week was different though.

This week what happened was that the Giants came to Texas Stadium and ran into a defense that was playing great. The offense of the Cowboys played good as well scoring three touchdowns and winning 20-8. The D sacked Manning 7 times and had two interceptions along the way. It was a great game for Cowboy fans. It helped to improve their playoff standing and brought the Giants down to a tie for the top spot.

The biggest story though had very little to do with the actual game that was played. It had more to do with the other "game" that was going on with the Cowboys in the week leading up to last night. As I'm sure many of you know, there were reports of Terrell Owens expressing his displeasure with some things that were going on. The reports said that he was jealous of starting tight end Jason Witten because Witten had more receptions than him. A source claimed that Owens said Witten and Romo, who are good friends and road roommates, were holding "secret" meetings, excluding him, and drawing up plays that they could use in the games. There was a report as recent as Friday that Owens and Witten had a heated exchange and had to be seperated. All of this was what led up to the game last night.

Then after all is said and done, and the game is played and the Cowboys are victorious, TO claims that everyhing that has been said and reported this past week were all fabrications and made up. That's right, ESPN, The Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and various other news organizations got together and created a story and invented sources and blamed it all on TO in an effort it would seem to make him look bad. That right it was all nothing, a smoke screen to take the focus off the game.

Romo however, even though he didn't confirm the reports, didn't deny them either. You were left with the impression that there was something that had happened. Personally I would be more inclined to believe what Romo says due to the fact that TO has a history of this kind of thing with his two previous teams. Regardless of who's side you take, who you choose to believe (and the fans seem to think that Romo is the one to believe as evidenced by the multiple times they booed TO) it was still actually a good game. Peace and Love y'all.
