Does The Dallas Cowboys Still Have A Chance At The Playoffs?

It has been a up and down season for Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys so far in 2012. This does not mean you should count them out just yet. The Dallas Cowboys beat the Cleveland Browns in overtime by a score of 23-20. Yes, it was not really very impressive, but a win is a win. People never judge you on how you got the end result as long as you got it. The Dallas Cowboys head into Thanksgiving week at 5-5 and a chance to improve on that Thanksgiving Day when they play the Redskins.

The Cowboys have a tough upcoming schedule, so it will not be easy to make the playoffs, but you never know. Another loss could really hurt their chances, so they need to remain perfect to make the playoffs. Everyone knows the Dallas Cowboys are talented, but they just never are able to produce on the football field like they should. If they did we would not be talking about making the playoffs, but winning a division title.

The Dallas Cowboys are a team that sometimes is hard to figure out that's for sure. At times, they look like they can beat anyone, and other times they cannot beat the worse teams in the NFL. If they ever could come into a season dedicated to winning they would be very good. I don't know why it is such a struggle for them, but with all the egos that could have something to do with it. Right now they will be happy to sneak into the playoffs and so will Cowboy fans as well.

Notre Dame Finally Gets To The Top Of College Football Heap

Notre Dame Fighting Irish have not got much respect this year, but they finally have reached the College Football apex this past Saturday. Oregon and K-State got bit by the upset bug making way for Notre Dame to be rated No.1 and a chance to play for a BCS Championship. It has been a long time since the Irish has been in this position, but they still have some work ahead of them before a title game. Notre Dame still has a dangerous USC team that would love to upset them in a season they have struggled.

Right behind Notre Dame is the one loss Alabama Crimson Tide whom would give the Irish a real challenge if they happen to face them in a BCS Championship game. Oregon and K-State and a number of other teams are hoping one of the two top teams stumble so they can sneak back into the championship hunt. Right now though it is Notre Dame's and Alabama's to lose. You never know as no one expect K-State or Oregon to get beat this weekend either.

The interesting thing would be if Notre Dame did get beat the BCS would have a real mess on their hands with a lot of one-loss teams. I can see the people of the BCS praying Notre Dame does not lose or they could have a real hornet's nest to deal with in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to say the least for the BCS.

Concussions Killing The NFL

Concussions lately have been the talk of most NFL fans and people in the know. The NFL has taken a lot of negative press for concussions, but I am here to say it should not all be on the NFL. Yes, it is a problem and the NFL does need to do more, but players have to be honest as well. I will bet you that many NFL players are not truthful with doctors so they can continue playing. It has always been that way and I do not see that stopping anytime soon.

The truth is players are putting their futures in jeopardy and they do not seem to care either. That is sad, but a reality that we are facing right now. The NFL does need to do more, but the players have to be honest as well. If players are not going to be honest about their injuries the NFL has its hands tied. Hopefully, NFL players will not hide information from doctors as in reality they are hurting themselves later in life.

Did The Lakers Hire The Wrong Coach?

The Los Angeles Laker fans wanted Phil Jackson, but ownership went a different direction. Did ownership make a mistake? Phil Jackson was the logical choice as he has proven to be a winner and probably could have won another NBA Championship with the group the Lakers have right now. Ownership though went a different direction which was kind of strange. In the end, this could be a big mistake for the Los Angeles Lakers. Yes, they hired Mike D’Anton I and he is an excellent choice, but not the one many people wanted.

 Phil Jackson in my opinion would have been the best choice by far. He could work with Dwight Howard and get him to become a better player. Kobe Bryant knows Jackson real well and I think they could have worked well together, but we will not find out. If the Lakers win the NBA Championship this year no one will remember that they did not hire Phil Jackson. If the Lakers do not win a championship the backlash could last for a very long time that’s for sure.

With Alabama Losing Who Has The Inside Track To BCS Championship Game

After Alabama fell to Texas A&M there are many questions on how this will all play out now. Alabama was a lock, but with their loss it opens the door open for three teams. Oregon,Kansas State, and Notre Dame all have a shot at the big game now. Right now it looks like we could see Oregon and K-State in the BCS Championship if both teams win out. Where does this leave Notre Dame? Notre Dame is a good team, but will have a hard time getting past Oregon or K-State to play in the BCS Championship game. The one thing that Notre Dame has going for them is they are a great drawing card for any Bowl game. That still will not be enough to get them in the BCS Championship game though. The BCS system is not a good way to do it and Notre Dame could go undefeated andand get nothing for it, but that’s how it works. Notre Dame will probably find out how Boise State has felt the last few years. Even though Alabama has a loss they still could be the best team in college football. This is why we need a college football playoff. Hopefully, we will get it soon and not have to worry about teams getting screwed anymore.

Brady Quinn Gets His Chance To Be A Starter Again

Brady Quinn came out of Notre Dame with high hopes to be a star in the NFL, but so far that has not been the case. He struggled in Cleveland and did not get much of a chance in Denver. Fast forward and he gets another chance this time as the Kansas City Chiefs starter for the time being. Brady Quinn  has talent, but for some reason things have never clicked for him. He is hoping that Kansas City is where the revival of his career happens to start.

For Quinn he has a tough order ahead of him as the Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of problems. This does not mean he cannot do it, but it will be an uphill battle for him. Quinn must be able to show some type of success or he could find himself back on the bench and he realizes this better then anyone else on the team.

Fans of the Chiefs will cheer him if he does well, but will also boo if he fails to deliver. The ball is in Brady Quinn's hands and his future in the NFL could be determine what he does in the next few games. Brady Quinn realizes this, but actions speak louder than words and he knows that better than anyone.

Lance Armstrong Continues As He Loses His Tour De France Titles

Lance Armstrong is no longer a Tour De France champion as his free fall in the cycling world continues. Even the Tour would like Lance to pay back the prize money he has won. I will have to admit I really never thought it would come to this for Lance but it has. Once considered one of the greatest cyclist, now he will just be a distant memory to most people.

For Lance Armstrong his world has been crumbling around him. No one really could have expected this, but now Lance Armstrong has become a disgraced cyclist that sponsors loved along with the cycling community. That will not be the case anymore and that is a shame. Lance Armstrong chose not to do things the right way and now he is paying for it. It did not have to come to this, but now Lance Armstrong only has himself to blame and his life is in disarray because of it.
