I like to think I have some semi-decent music tastes but I've been busy raising kids and kicking sports ass over the years so sometimes I miss out on good bands. It's finally high time I check out Wilco. I know, I know... been around for years and have put a donkey dingus length worth of records out. Just bought "The Whole Love" which is the band's latest.... if I like it I'll purchase more. Told Matt Bonner I'd give his beloved Arcade Fire another shot and I will... after I properly engage Wilco.

Jerry Jones caved and admitted without saying it that Jason Garrett needs help... don't know if Bill Callahan is any good but at least they're trying. Callahan pissed off Al Davis something fierce and dang near ran the Nebraska program into the ground but at least Garrett has somebody now to lean on. That was overdue.

Many of you are probably out on the Spurs until Manu gets back from his latest booboo. It's easy to dismiss the group with Manu out because, after all.. nothing really matters if he ain't in there.... that being said, you should check in at least once a week b/c there's some young blood worth watching. Kawhi Leonard can play... has innate skills and know how. Tiago Splitter is figuring it out... got toasted by Chris Bosh in Miami but so did the entire team so he gets a mulligan.

When Dave Campo had Deion, Pup Smith, Darren Woodson, Brock Marion, et all he was known as one of the best secondary coaches in the NFL. Throw in Alan Ball, Terence Newman, Mike Jenkins, etc. and Cowboy fan wanted him shipped out down the Rock Island line. Campo had nothing to do with the secondary struggles. Position coaches don't do much in the NFL other than baby sit and have meetings about game plan. After training camp players in the NFL don't get "coached up"... Campo was a victim of Jerry Jones' terrible drafting over the years. I hope DC kicks ass at Kansas where he was hired as defensive coordinator under Charlie Weiss.

Only in the NFL can a team go 4-8, be forced to play Vince Young, have the head coach be forced to get restraining orders against wannabe assassins and still win it's division at 8-8. The Eagles have finally showed up and they would love nothing more than to lift their leg on Dallas' season this Saturday. Even if they don't make the playoffs, Philly would at least like to pull Dallas into the deep end of the pool with them. That said, watch out for Philly in the NFC title game in Lambeau. Why not? The NFL sucks and all you have to do is get hot the last 2 weeks of the season and you may wind up winning hardware. I doubt the Eagles get the necessary help they need but it shouldn't surprise you if it happens. The NFL wants parity and chaos to reign. They have it.
