Although the Dallas Cowboys were once known as “America’s Team”, I think that is an antiquated notion that belongs in the dustbin of history. Why root for a team that has already won so many Super Bowls, when far more deserving teams deserve our support. Thus, after careful consideration, I have decided to come out and endorse the New York Giants in the playoff game tomorrow against the Cowboys. I do so not because I am a fan of the Giants, but because I think the real team of destiny this year, the Green Bay Packers, deserve a home game in the NFC championship next weekend. What better way to cap a brilliant career for Brett Favre (who has broken more records this year than the highly overrated Tom Brady), than for a final trip to the Super Bowl. That dream (shared by all true NFL fans like me) is much more likely to come true if Green Bay is not forced to go into the shabby Texas Stadium to play the Cowlboys next week. As you may recall, Green Bay narrowly lost there earlier this year only because Favre was knocked out of the game due to a cheap shot by a Cowboy defensive player. No doubt, if the Cowboys had not cheated (it brings to mind when the Dallas Stars stole the Stanley Cup), Favre would have lead his team to victory and they would be hosting the game next week. So, to sum up, put on your cheese hats, and get down on your knees to beg the football gods to lead the Giants to victory tomorrow, and humiliating defeat next week in Lambeau Field.

UPDATE: Thank the Heavens for Turkey Romo and Joe Simpson’s loins!

My brother, Lt. Joe foo’ the Marine, has headed off to Iraq once again today. Please keep him in your prayers.
BTW, I heard on his flight the Marines were able to keep their guns with them, but they weren’t allowed to bring any knives aboard. I guess that makes sense.

With with a mix of admiration and envy, I recommend this post by Andy Borowitz:
