Your friday question of the day

How the fuck did games against Seattle and San Fransisco magically heal the Cowboys offensive line? Tony Romo comes back and all of a sudden all is right with the world! Never mind that the Boys modest three game winning streak came against the Seahawks, Niners, and overrated Redskins. Remember Romo running for his life every game? He was like a prettier, smarter, less robotic Ben Roethlisberger. The Dallas struggles without Romo weren't solely due to the collective ineptitude of Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger. Their offensive line is fat, unathletic, and generally uninterested in blocking. Against inferior defenses in blowout victories, Dallas rushed for a combined 190 yards the past two weeks. What are they going to do against Pittsburgh when Romo drops back to pass 30-something times? I actually look forward Big Ben running onto the field after a particularly brutal Romo sack, opening up the access panel to his innards and asking, "You need spleen? Science man give Ben three!"

Your friday question of the day

What does it mean when the pirate at work closes the door to his office before leaving to wander the building? Maybe he just farted and doesn't want to let the sweet scent of his own colon escape to the rest of the office? Maybe he has kidnapped a fair maiden and has her tied up in there? Well, actually, that's definitely not it. Only way he gets close to a fair maiden is if he tasers her first, and I'm pretty sure someone would have noticed him dragging an unconscious female through the lobby. Ok, I'm moderately confident someone would have noticed him dragging an unconscious female through the lobby. Hmmm....maybe he kidnapped a fair maiden and has her tied up in there? Most likely he didn't want anybody to see the kiddie porn he's got up on his computer monitor that wisely faces the door. Sure, you could just minimize it but that seems like a lot of effort when you want to take a leak. Seriously, the kid is fucking creepy. What's that? Oh yeah, this is a sports blog, um, so the Leafs beat the Red Wings in Detroit, Boston beat Colorado in Denver, Vancouver shut out Calgary at home, and San Jose stopped Anaheim at the Shark tank. Also, the Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the NLCS behind a good bottom of the 6th inning and some great pitching from Cole Hamels. I didn't watch any of it.
