Booth Review: The Last Two Weeks

- I have never been so worried about one of my teams when their 11-3 as I am about the Giants. That is partially because I’ve never been a fan of an 11-3 team before, and partially because they have looked embarrassingly miserable these last two games. The G have derailed the hope train and better get it back on track this Sunday. LETS GO G!

- Did anyone see the play in the Giants Cowboys game when Tuck sacked Romo in the end zone for a safety? The offensive line didn’t even move when the ball was snapped. I guess they didn’t know the snap count for the ‘Witten TE Fly’ play call. That’s why secret plays never work, miscommunications.

- I wish I was in the meeting when Vince Vaughn and his agent got together at the peak of his career and decided it was time to transition into Tim Allen mode and only make Christmas movies. Great career choice, it worked wonders for Tim the Tool Man. I'm sure the "Four Christmases" script was a cant pass up opportunity, but come on. Now both stars of Wedding Crashers have tried to commit suicide, career or otherwise.

- The New York Mets realized that they were the only big money team that was trying to sign K-Rod and they skimmed around $20 million off the projected deal. The Yankees realized they were the only big money team that was going after C.C. Sabathia and they added 20 million to the projected deal. How Brain Cashman keeps his job is beyond me…

- How do you even go about calling a secret play in the huddle? “All right guys, were running the deep post to T.O.” (winks at Witten, gives him that gay smug Romo grin)...

- I was talking with fellow ‘3-man Weave’ mind Ryan Parker who claimed that he was at the game when A-Rod hit his 500th homer and he didn’t even clap. As a matter of fact, he booed. This gets to the core of my argument that A-Rod is in the biggest lose-lose situation ever and that Yankee fans doom themselves by mistreating their sensitive star. And, while we are on the Yankees, how is the Red Sox/Yanks rivalry real when the Yankees may sign Manny and own 2/3s of the first WS champion Red Sox outfield. Are you not supposed to despise your enemies, not embrace them?

- If T.O. is Truman Burbank, and Romo is Marlon, does that make Jerry Jones Christof?
(Sitting on the docks drinking a six pack) :
Romo: “The last thing I would ever do, is lie to you... I mean think about it, Terrell. (cut to: Jerry Jones with the headset, reciting the dialogue in his ear.) “ If everybody is in on it. Then I'd have to be in on it too."(T.O. holds back tears, emotions are intense)

- Bills back-up and former face of the franchise J.P. Losman is funny to me. Hes like the ghost of what Eli almost was. But then, of course, Eli turned into a Superbowl Champion.

- The Giants, who last year sent 1 player the Pro Bowl (and won the Superbowl), sent 6 this year. Eli finally got there, which is great. We also sent both our punter and our field goal kicker which is great because, as they say, kicking wins championships.

- Question to ponder: Are we human? or are we dancer?
