What? I'm not the Waterboy?

Heh. Well, on the Cowboys, quarterback might be a step below waterboy these days. :)

Here, I'll be a cheerleader:
Well done James!
Okay, so I'm not so good at cheerleading. But I am sincere.

Thanks. Just don't show up in little short shorts and a halter top!

I don't "do" football, but it's a cool and well done theme regardless! Nice idea.

Just to clarify...my poem is meant to be taken as satire. It is also a stab at Amiri Baraka, whose own poem, amongst other things, accused Jews of being behind 9-11. You missed the point if you read it as my own trivialization of the girl's murder.

No pics from the Ice Bowl I see. Selected Cowboys history I suspect.

But seriously, nice touch.

Good job, though a Redskins motif would have been far better.

You could have at least thrown in some cheerleader pictures to compliment your selection of this second-rate team. 8^)

Last time I played football, without a flag, in elementary school, I caught a pass, scored a touchdown, and ran into the goal post.

All on the same play...

And didn't stop running until, crying, I reached the nurses office with a soon to be black eye. :-)

Great job!

Enough reading here to entertain me during the down time during festivities surrounding my sisters wedding this week. :-)

Great job on the Carnival. Love the football theme.

On a side note, I can't wait for Thanksgiving. My Dolphins are gonna crush those guys from Dallas.

Thanks for all the wonderful memories of America's Team, and a very well done Carnival. It makes me doubly sad I did not get anything submitted. Let us hope the Big Tuna can make the star shine again.

Val,

I dunno--we don't have Leon Lett around anymore to hand you guys the game! (Of course, we don't have Troy and Emmitt anymore, either...)

Good Job, James. Thought the football theme was right on...

Ahh, I remember the Leon Lett game very well. It won me a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label froma very distraught Cowboys fan. The onlything that worries me about your team this year, froma Dolfan point of view, is that you now have the Tuna. Whats your QB situation now anyway?
