Eli became very aware of the... Cowboy's ummm...tendencies last night
As 8 or 9 of you have been probably thinking, what did Roman think of last night’s sporting contest between the Dallas Cowgirls and the NFC East Champion World Champion New York Football Giants? Well, I am not happy about it. Nope. Not one bit. If you want an in depth analysis of the bigger problems facing the Champs, I implore you to read Sparty’s thoughts. I agree with him.
Sometimes, I try to equate my life and my rooting interests in terms of a historical event or maybe even a movie. I once compared rooting for the Mets the last few years to rooting for Germany during World War II. Read it, you will understand that statement. In terms of my World Champion New York Football Giant fandom I equate it to the Rocky movies. Now, I know what you are going to say, you hate Philadelphia. Yes, yes I do. But Sly made a tremendous series of movies. And in truth this comparison is not far fetched. Rocky I, or Rocky for the purist, would look at everything from 2005 and 2006. They were and up and down underdog who barely made the playoffs in 2006 and lost a memorable playoff game. Even though they lost, there was a positivity towards their ability to comeback and survive.
Rocky II would be everything from that point up to last year’s improbable Super Bowl victory. I mean the beginning with the bloated Rocky trying to make it work in commercials. Then taking the fight even with Adrian being a wet blanket. The non training and problems caused with Mickey. And finally the “Just Win” moment and the crazy last second win over Apollo. Rocky II was not the best of the Rockys but it had the best ending. If 2007 doesn’t fit that description, I don’t know what does.
Currently, I am in the midst of Rocky III. We started off killing other opponents, all the while dealing with media disrespect. Finally, we get knocked on our ass by a tough opponent because we may have lost focus. Of course, I am in the midst of Rocky III so the next scene after the loss to Clubber Lang is Mickey dying. In this metaphor, I am going to equate the loss of Mickey to the loss of Plaxico and the loss of our dominant offense. So now please sit back and enjoy, RomanWarHelmet mourning the death of the World Champion New York Football Giant offense.

Of course Rocky III, ends with Rocky beating the piss out of Clubber Lang so I remain optimistic. Enjoy your false hope Cowgirls. Your demise will only be sweeter later on.
which part will be the Rocky: Brain Damaged Years?
The Giants are Drago. They got rid of the black guy, Creed, er Plax, and will go down in the end to the team with the heart of gold. Rocky = Romo.
My guess is in 2011-2012 when all these guys contracts are up and I have to endure the last Tom Coughlin season where the players finish a pedestrian 8-8 or 9-7 but give you one last fight to make you remember the good old days
/Bill Simmons joke
Romo likes Cocky
So let me get this straight
Mickey = Ed Werder?
Does that make Roman = Talia Shire?
Roman = Pauly
Roman is Pauly Shore?
Roman = Tommy Gunn
AIDS jokes are classless and tacky Happy
/TBL’d
Rocky IV > Rocky > Rocky III > Rocky II > Rocky Balboa
And if you think differently, you’re a movie snob who can’t enjoy a movie unless it’s won an Academy Award.
/no, I am not forgetting one
Completely agree Bear. I just watched that one fan yell shit at Werder for the third time. His “I’m in your head Werder” might go on my tombstone.
Roman-LOL
Did I ever tell you how my dream ending would be? Well, let this fan of the World Fucking Champions tell you. Before the plans for the Cowboys new stadium, I always dreamed that, if I was told by doctors I had only months to live or something, or I just generally felt like committing suicide, I’d sell off all my worldly possessions, use the money to buy a plane and, in the grandest of grand suicides, I’d fly the plane through the hole in the roof of Texas Stadium during a Giants-Cowboys game, preferably landing right at midfield and taking out each and every individual from both franchises. It just seems like the perfect way to go.
Hopefully J-Lo was doing a duet with Madonna for the Star Spangled Banner.
Rev….my dream usually involves the Eagles and Cowboys and does not involve suicide bombing…more of a “I am the President” or some crazy militia leader who gets to drop a nuke or something…I love myself to much to think of myself dying
roman, you seem to have much more ambition than me. Suicide seems the easier root. Presidency could take a lot of work.
Oh, and seriously, above all else, fuck the Cowboys. For real.
sometimes I miss the /stigs’d meme…God rest his soul.
Wait, stigs is dead too? God, being a writer for MLJ is as hazardous to your health as being the drummer for Spinal Tap.
St. Bear you ain’t kidding. Coal miners are afraid to come work for us.
so are canaries.
Penis!
Hef, that’s only because you scare them when you dress up in blackface and jump out from the shadows.
Dress up?
That’s racist.
poop
Penis dress up?
i wish i knew how to spell route
