"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Any Cowboys fans out there? I've been a die hard fan since I was little but this is getting sickening. The secondary is a joke. The offensive line was trash all season but I can't blame that on any type of coaching, just bad luck with injuries. Losing Murray a few weeks ago was brutal too.

I don't think you can blame all of the collapses on Garrett but I also don't think it would have happened with a coach like Gruden or Cowher or Norv Turner (all of whom will likely be available, though Jerry Jones says he's not making a change).

Hard to believe both Newman and Jenkins are former Pro Bowl corners...
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

If Terrance newman had any respect for himself he would just go out sammari style. that was the absolute worst performance by any corner i have ever seen in my entire life and I am not exaggerating one bit. he is literally the sole reason they lost.

Yeah he hasn't really played well all season. They need to spend their first 2 picks on an offensive lineman and a safety. Having Murray next year will really help though, I'm actually pretty optimistic for the future (but then again, it's like that every year)!

I think it's less being overrated and more just plain under-performing.

They showed that they can (and should have) beat teams like Detroit, NY, New England.

They played poorly against Washington and Miami, but won those games. Miami was playing lights out at the time, and Washington is a division rival and those games are always close.

The Cardinals was a bad loss, but if 1 or 2 plays went their way they would have won. The 1st loss to the Eagles was just pathetic. The 2nd one didn't really mean anything, so that's neutral.

A team that is no good doesn't collapse - they just get blown out. That's not Dallas. They get picked to win the Super Bowl because they are more than capable, when they are playing up to the level they "should" be.

Romo's problem is that when the play is breaking down, instead of throwing the ball out of bounds, he scrambles around and tries to force something to happen, just like his idol Brett Favre. Out of every 10 attempts at this, 3 result in spectacular plays, 4 result in a longer version of throwing the ball away, and 3 result in disaster. It's those disasters that kill the Cowboys.
