Are You Jonesing?

50 Bucks- Yeah that's how much it's gonna cost you to see a couple of has beens Roy Jones Junior and Felix Trinidad fight this Saturday. No thank you. Don't get me wrong. I love Roy but his fighting career ended 2 years ago. I can't believe people would pay to watch this fight. In fact, I've seen the fight before. Jones is going to fight in round 1. After that, he'll dance around and act like he's fighting for 11 rounds. He'll dive in and dive out. He's going to shuffle his feet and try to get a rise out of the crowd. I don't know who's going to win and don't really care but save yourself some money.

3 Million- Yikes! The Cowboys just forked up that much to resign their offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. The Cowboys stepped up to make sure no team would sign their guy to a head coaching job by giving him as much money as Wade Phillips the head coach makes. It's also a record contract for an offensive coordinator. Now that's just plain silly. Will Garrett turn out to be a great head coach one day? Who knows but he hasn't even proved that he's a great offensive coordinator yet. I mean all he did was direct Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, Marion Barber, Jason Witten, and a good offensive line to a good season. Those are exceptional players. They'd probably put up points in almost any offensive system. Garrett was a QB coach with the Dolphins before signing on with the 'Boys last year. No one was breaking down any doors to get him then. Again, I have nothing against the guy but I just don't understand where all this hoopla came from about a 1st year offensive coordinator with a loaded roster.

I've had a very busy week and haven't been able to put the time into the new blog as I intended, but next week things should get back to normal and I'll get the blog in gear.
