And In This Corner...Sideshow Maenius!!

To spice things up a bit, I've asked a few Ninjas to guest blog on JAT every now and then. For the first instalment of "Two Cent Tuesdays" (great name for it by the way, B) here is Brandon Maenius' thought's on the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaking of smiles like a gentleman, Jerry "Smiles" Jones is expected to announce that HBO's Hard Knocks will be filming the Dallas Cowboys this season. I can already envision exotic episodes starring: Jacman Pones (Name changed to perserve the guilty until proven innocent) and the best of Oxnard's Gentleman club. However, this is a clever move for HBO they can now occupy two programming schedules: Primetime and the time at which Pee Wee Herman watches television.

In my opinion this is a Poor move, Jerry. The last time this happened (2002) the Cowboys finished the season @ 5-11. Who was the head coach in 2002? Dave Campo, and who was returned for his second stint with Americas Team, yup you guessed it. That being said, hold your hats and your "Bubble Butts" this is going to be more than an 8 second go round.

Well done, B. As eerie as the parallels are from the 'Boys first foray with HBO, I feel confident that this season will end a little better than 5-11.
But look on the bright side: Even if the season on the field is a disaster, it no doubt will be pretty darn entertaining with TO, Jacman, Tank, and Tony Simpson playing starring roles on an HBO show. That's a much more watchable cast than Dave Campo, Clint Stoerner, and Emmitt Smith's corpse, as was the case in '02.

The "Hard Knocks" curse does not hold a candle to the "Madden Curse", but if there's one more thing this team does not need this season, it's extra pressure to perform.

Also, Jerry is ringing up an impressive total of creepy references to the physical attributes of various Cowboys. We all know about the Felix Jones "bubble butt" reference, but for my money, the creepiest reference is easily Double J's statement that Troy Aikman "looked good in the shower."

Um, JerBear, how 'bout you quit talking for a while there, champ.
