"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes 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...
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.
