In light of the Dallas Cowboys loss to the New York Giants, ten truths about America's Team:
10. Posting a 13-3 record during the regular season and securing home field advantage throughout the playoffs is
meaningless unless you close the deal.
9. Defeating a team, especially a divisional opponent, three times in a season is extremely difficult.
8. The Cowboys have not won a playoff game in 12 seasons. Their last postseason victory was December 28, 1996.
7. Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips is 0-4 in the playoffs. Quarterback Tony Romo is 0-2.
6. Despite all the hype and two years of impressive play, Romo is a work-in-progress, a gifted but inexperienced
quarterback who should not be mentioned in the same sentence with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Brett Favre.
5. The Cowboys' defeat is a consequence of their arrogance in believing they could turn it on and off pretty much when they
felt like it. In the month of December, their play was lackluster and inconsistent, not exactly a position to be in for a
playoff bound team.
4. The Cowboys, like the Redskins, suddenly find themselves home after one game, watching other teams vie for the chance
to advance to the Super Bowl.
3. Vacations should not be taken until the work is completed.
2. The sobriquet America's Team is silly.
1. The anguish on owner Jerry Jones' surgically reconstructed face in the waning moments of the game and Terrell Owens'
teary-eyed post mortem and protestations about his teammates and his quarterback: Priceless.
