Noon before the game: It has been announced that Marion Barber III (MB3) is starting.  I was in favor of making the switch in October, but waiting till now is bad karma.  A sign of panic from Wade?

Pregame ten minutes before the kick:  Despite her large forehead, Pam Oliver is very good-looking.  She dresses well, but I can’t get a good read on her body. Will continue to investigate. 

Pregame two minutes before kick: Jason Witten doing a pregame interview.  I am starting to think he loves the spotlight, despite his hometown boy persona, as much as his QB. The first Jessica Simpson and Mexico reference has already been made(Joe Buck).

FIRST QUARTER

13:15: I would hate to have to tackle Brandon Jacobs all game long.

11:50: Long touchdown catch and run by Toomer with some impressively terrible tackling by Anthony Henry, Greg Ellis and of course Roy Williams.  Roy will blame the equipment manager. 7-0 Giants.

8:00: Roy Williams just missed another tackle. He will blame Kelly Rowlands. The Dallas defense looks they are playing two-below, instead of tackle. 

3:00:  Huge run by MB3. Genius decision by Wade. Dallas might have found a spark.  The Braids of Rage is the best player on the field right now.

END OF THE FIRST QUARTER; START OF THE SECOND: 0-7 GIANTS

14:55:   The popcorn is ready, TOUCHDOWN T.O.! Coughlin challenges the call and is denied. Coughlin looks like a grouchy neighbor that only cares about gardening his tulips.  7-7 tied up.

13:16:   Great sack by Chris Canty (and his scary facemask), nice tackles by Akin Ayodele and Anthony Spence, an offsides by Greg Ellis (results in a first down), and continued absence by Bobby Carpenter (worst draft pick ever?).

11:00:   Wifey just said that MB3’s roid rages are making him inhuman.  Former UT defensive back and newly engaged Aaron Ross (to former UT track star Sanya Richards) is now hurt. His fiancé is not only faster, but maybe tougher.  How was the UT secondary so bad in 2006 with Ross, Griffin twins and Tarell Brown?

5:00:  Big first down catch by Terry Glenn- his first catch of the year, and first down catches by T.O.  This drive has been awesome. The Giants’ Corey Webster just dropped an easy pick. That will hurt them…

2:00 Minute Warning:  Burger King’s commercials are as bad as their food.  Tony Romo has been masterful on this drive spreading the love around to everyone. 

0:53:  PUT YOUR HANDS UP REF!! Barber just punched it in from the one. 
Dallas just finished a 90-yard, 20-play drive that was a clock killer.  14-7 Dallas.

0:07:  Literally in a New York minute, the G-Men just scored to tie it 14-14.  “Mr. Fix It”- my ass.  The defense looks bad.

END OF THE FIRST HALF; START OF THE 3RD 14-14 TIED UP

7:00:  Dallas gets the ball to start the second half and are quickly moving it.  MB3 running at will, and if he can ever add a hurdle to his game, he will be unstoppable. Defenders are always going low on him now.  Dallas FG. Fasano (drops a touchdown pass-tough catch) and Flozell gets his weekly false start. 17-14 Boys.

3:07:  Dallas defense gets some huge plays by Ware causing NYG to punt. ”Huge” a/k/a Leonard Davis loses his cool and gets a huge penalty.  Crayton drops an easy pass that would have went for fifty yards.  Wasted, wasted opportunity.

END OF THE THIRD QUARTER; START OF THE 4TH 17-14 DALLAS

13:30:  Dallas’ special teams and defense fails again.  NYG start at the
Dallas 45 and easily march in for the score.  NYG has the “mo,” and if
Dallas doesn’t get it back it could be church.

9:27:  Romo has played well, but he is getting little help from his o-line and receivers. STOP THE PRESSES! There has been a Bobby Carpenter sighting, not on defense of course, but on special teams.  He downs a punt inside the three.  And the
Dallas defense keeps it up making the G-Men go 3-and-out.

4:30:     More Dallas penalties. Dallas has managed to get every penalty in the book today, and it might cost them this game. It did cost them that drive.

2:00 Minute Warning: Dallas defense comes up huge. New York’s very conservative play-calling made it very easy.  And Eli was scared to win the game and played not to lose takes a sack. NYG to punt…

0:58:  The penalties continue and continue. They are making this impossible. Romo,
Witten and Barber with nice plays.  Crayton stopped running on a nice throw from Jessica Simpson’s boyfriend.  Romo with a pick to end the game. Excuse me, I need to go cry myself to sleep and then look at available free agents and my draft board…. Drive. Game. Season.
