    Stephen Jones no doubt regretting sharing his strippers and blow with Dean Blandino right about now.

    They're Cheerleaders, not strippers.

    By the rules, it was definitely incomplete. And Dez is such a douche that it's funny to see him get it taken away from him. But ya know what? For the first 80 years of football that's a catch. Too many calls these days are swinging on technicalities. Romo made a heck of a throw (ballsy throw at that), Dez made a great play. Green Bay and their DB in coverage did nothing on that play but be lucky. Seeing that be awarded is kind of annoying. And again, it was the right call and I guess I want them to get calls right. But notice that the ref didn't say it was "confirmed" as incomplete? He said it was "determined to be" incomplete. That verbiage doesn't sound like enough evidence to overturn the call on the field.

    And what was with that early call where Rodgers bounced a pass to a receiver and it was upheld as a catch? Why wasn't that "determined" to be incomplete? Whatever. I agree with the Dez call (as I agreed with the Megatron call years ago), and I don't like the Cowboys or their fans, but these slow-motion replays and technicalities are getting annoying.

    And please, Joe Buck, enough about his Rodgers' calf muscle.

    Go Broncos!

    And Dez is lucky he didn't get a penalty for subsequently arguing the call helmetless on the field, for the record. A solid, correct call, agree or disagree with the rule.
    Nice shirt.

    Who at CBS honestly believes Nantz and Simms is the best they can do?

    I think his arm is dead. He's always thrown ugly passes. But he's had enough on the throws to get them there. Plus he was always accurate. Now, he's got nothing on his throws and they are way off target. I don't think he plays next year. Regardless of what happens in the playoffs.

    No QB in history has thrown more ugly, looking-for-a-penalty passes than Peyton Manning.

    Really? I think he'll be back.

    Well that wasn't a shot at you or any Cowboys fan in particular. In fact, I watched the game with a Cowboys fan today and was cheering for them because I'm sick of Rodgers, his lame celebrations, Hans, Franz, and Packers fans that think they own part of the team when they really just pay $250 for a piece of paper. But this past week, partially due to social media (Twitter, Facebook), was a reminder of how insufferable Cowboys fans as a whole can be when things are going their way.

    I disagree on Dez though. Total baby. Comes off like Brandon Marshall but without the diagnosis. Talented though. I was joking today that had the Dolphins drafted him (they almost did but Jeff Ireland ask him if his mother was a hooker), he (like Brandon Marshall and Mike Wallace), wouldn't be able to deal with how shitty it is to be a Dolphins WR and would go off-the-wall insane.

    Flacco maybe? They're tighter spirals with more velocity but definitely just thrown up for grabs hoping for a flag or miracle catch.

    Flacco may someday catch Manning, but Peyton has a several year headstart.
