The Dallas Cowboys: Grind It Out or Give It Up?

Personally, I don't see much sense in spilling blood, sweat, tears, worry and blogosphere space on your Dallas Cowboys.

At 1-5 and with Tony Romo out at least six weeks, the season is over. Considering it started not that long ago with Super Bowl aspirations, this has to be the most disappointing pratfall out of the gate in franchise history. I mean the Cowboys were 1-5 in '89 but no one had high hopes for that squad.

I've been wrong all along about this team. Thought they'd play in Super Bowl XLV. Thought they'd ~~beat~~ wallop the Giants Monday night in Arlington. Didn't think Romo would be break his collar bone.

I sure didn't see this coming. I doubt if anyone else did either.

After the season Wade Phillips may be fired and there may be a lockout and the Cowboys may have a high draft pick. But for now ...

Let me see more of Stephen McGee and Dez Bryant and Phil Costa and Danny McCray.

The 2010 season is an epic disaster. Even worse, there are 10 games remaining.

Yikes.

In related news, if the Texas Rangers were ever going to have better TV ratings than the Cowboys, this is the Sunday. While Jon Kitna and a 1-5 team host the lowly, unsexy Jacksonville Jaguars in a noon game at Cowboys Stadium, the Rangers will host the Giants in Game 4 of the World Series just down the street at 7:20.

The Rangers are better. The Rangers' games are more important. The Rangers might draw more TV eyeballs.

Yes Cowboys fans, Sunday may be the scariest Halloween of them all.

Hmm, that's weird. I guess there could be some MLB rule crap that doesn't want it out there for whatever reason. No radio? Sorry man. And gagreed with Chris. The Fan done messed up their website, one of the few things they actually did better than The Ticket. It's ugly and corporate looking as hell now. Shoulda figured they'd screw it up.
I was serious. It's online on The Fan website? I tried last Friday but they weren't airing the game.
@Meat Not sure if you're joking or not, but The Fan (105.3) has it. ESPN was doing postseason baseball too but I'm assuming Mavs take precedence tonight even though most will be Ranger watching. Go Rangers. Eff the Cowboys. Meh Mavs. Where's Half-Cat? I enjoy Kergo's recipes. JAMES FAIR POINTS ON THE COWBOYS. Sean Salisbury's a douche and he LOVES women, right Sean. Richie's having a midlife crisis (hence all the braggy douchery) and he LOVES women just in case none of us were aware and needed further reminding from him. The DH sucks. Cliff Lee rules. Go Rangers.
Does Ritchie fact check anything? 1-5 in '89? Really Ritchie. Didn't win until at Washington later in the season. Also, Cowboys will outdraw the Rangers on TV Sunday.
I MADE A COMMENT TO JERRY JONES AFTER THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF THE SEASON AND IT IS COMING TO PASS I SAID IF HE DID NOT MAKE CHANGES THIS WOULD HAPPEN. FIRST OF ALL YOU NEED AN OFFENCE LINE DAH, AND THE DEFENCE IS GOOD THATS WHY I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY QUIT IN THE SECOND HALF AFTER ROMO GOT HURT.EXPERIENCE THAT KITNA HAS DONT MEAN ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED IN AN ACTUAL GAME FOR 2 YEARS YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT QB'S NOW BEFORE THE SEASON IS OVER DONT GIVE UP EVEN IF YOU THINK IT'S OVER IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE FANS. FIND A COACH NO OFFENCE WADE BUT YOU ARE TO SOFT. YOU STILL CAN RUN AND IF THE DEFENSE WOULD PLAY LIKE THE STARS THEY ARE YOU CAN SUCCEED IN SOME WIN'S.
Anybody know where to listen to Nadel online tonight?
Cowboys. meh. The Rangers are in the World effing Series!!!!!
I'm in mother effing San Fran, bitches. Hot women and willing dudes all around. Hey, as long as it looks like a chick and has an orifice, right homos? Where's Harvey Milk at? I've got some Richie Whitt milk for him. POW, POW!
The Cowboys were 0-6 in 1989, not 1-5. The only other time Dallas has gone 1-5 was 1963, and that team finished 4-10.

@Meat - great point. glad someone else notices that. I'd say it's a guy with short man's disease. Anyone seen The Fail's new website? Meh. It appears it is now the new CBS media empire website. Lame.
What kind of adult, in his 40s, brags the way RW does?
richie to greggo - "my night was a lil different than yours" boy i'd say. prancing around san fran in drag is a lil different than hammer sniffing ambien.
here's your man sized beer sean. never quit! I thought the Steelers were completely done before the season started, now look at em. Same thing with the Patriots a couple of years ago when Brady was hurt, and they went 10-6. Never quit! the defense needs to play better (duh!), we someone to run the freakin' ball (duh), and we need the Pillsbury Dough boy to pull his head out of his butt. Grow some, Cowboys. ps-oh yeah, and eff Jerra and his giant vidja boarrrd!
agreed R W, The Cowboys are a waist of internet ink.
I could quarterback this team better than Kitna. Screw the Cowboys, I'll be at Twin Peaks bitches.
