I have lways been a big fan of Eminem. I think he has the 2nd best verse in the history of hip hop (his 1st verse on Jay Z's "Renegade" the best verse of all time is Inspectah Deck on Wu Tang's "Triumph"). Em has been MIA for the last couple of years staying out of the spotlight, but he is coming back with a new CD.

This is the first single off that CD. It is called "We Made You" and to my surprise it takes a shot at a famous Dallas Cowboys football player and it isn't T.O.

Jessica Simpson has always been a target of his but this time he has brought Tony Romo into the picture as well.

I think this means if he hasn't already Romo has crossover from just the sports medium into the TMZ medium and I don't know if that is a good or bad thing for him.

Did you ever believe you could throw better passes than Tony Romo? I'm sure several Cowboy fans this year did. What about believing you could catch more passes thrown to you than Terrell Owens? He dropped plenty this year, so that could have been a possibility. Or, are you the type of guy that would love to just stick a helmet in, let's say..., Eli Manning's rib cage? How about just being a guy that wants to stop being an NFL groupie and just get the ladies?

If so, Michael Irvin, Jerry Jones, and the Dallas Cowboys are giving one lucky fan the chance to do just that: a reality show of 12 people vying for the last shot at being a Cowboy for the 2009 season. Just think about it...you could line up opposite of Owens, or, as ESPN's Ed Werder might tell you, in PLACE of Owens. That might make Owens look this way...:

More after the jump...

Man when it rains it pours. I found this DallasNews.com. It is a report that Tony Romo collapsed while in the shower. Here is a first hand account from DallasNews reporter Brian Davis:

Tony Romo's three turnovers were momentarily meaningless Sunday night when players started yelling in the shower after the quarterback collapsed from a rib injury.

When asked later what happened, Romo said, "Um, you know, I was just a little banged up, I guess."

All I can say is wow! I don't really know what to say and you know for me to be tongue tied doesn't happen often. Hopefully Romo is ok. I think the best advice I can give all the Cowboys it to just sit down and stay out of the media spotlight for awhile. Like they say pressure busts pipes and the Cowboys plumbing is all F*ck Up.

We have gather a lot of information on the drama in going on in Big D. Remember people don't be manipulated listen to all of the statements. Listen to all of the facts. Don't just make a blanket opinion because you don't like Terrell Owens. Also I want you to remember one very important thing T.O. did not go to the media with his complaints about the offense he went to the Offensive Coordinator. Whereas other players in the locker room who weren't man enough to go to T.O. face to face leaked information to the media which cause the controversy in the first place.

Lastly lets take a look at what Terrance Newman of the Cowboys had to say about the situation. Remember Newman is a respected player on the team. Someone in the locker room everyday. Not a talking head sitting at a desk in Bristol with an ax to grind. Pay very close attention.

Our good friend Mike Florio from ProFootballTalk.com suggest that it was Witten who snitched to the media. Here is what Mike had to say:

WAS WITTEN WERDER'S SOURCE?
Posted by Mike Florio on December 12, 2008, 5:09 p.m. EST

"Ed Werder didn't make anything up," the source said. "Witten or his agent gave the story."

Our good friends at The Big Lead show the hypocrisy of ESPN running with this story but not with the Brett Favre leaking info to other teams about the Packers earlier in the season. Here is a snippet of what they had to say:

The problem with the Cowboys is not Terrell Owens, it's not Tony Romo and it's not Wade Phillips dressing up in the puffy coat like George Canstanza.

The problem with the Cowboys is Jerry "Skeletor" Jones.

He has been the problem since Jimmy Johnson left building. Name me one owner that hogs more of the spotlight than Jerry Jones? I see Jerry Jones more than I see Wade Phillips. When coaching decisions are being made guess who we hear from "Skeletor" Jones. What other owner would have said this about one of their star players being injured.

"He can play with that injured toe," Jones said. "He can play with the soreness, combination of those things. I see nothing that would have led us to believe that he couldn't."

Ironically while Jones questioned Marion Barber's toughness you didn't seem to hear that type of venom for his "Golden Boy" Tony Romo when he missed 4 weeks with a broken pinkie. I don't know about you similar to a QB trying to throw with a broken finger I would imagine it would be difficult to play running back with a dislocated toe. I am not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and I think the last person on the Cowboys you want to criticize for not being tough is Marion Barber.

It isn't a coincidence since "Skeletor" Jones became the face of the franchise that the Cowboys haven't won a playoff game. Since Jones decided he could handle personnel decisions better than a real GM the team as a whole has suffered. Jones is good at making a profit, but horrible at putting together a team.

Let me give you an example. The Cowboys were suffering through a mini slump in the middle of the season. So in a panic Jones traded for Detroit Lions WR Roy Williams. Williams is a good player but you tell me was he worth:

A first-round pick in 2009, plus a third- and sixth-rounder that year for Williams and a seventh-round pick in '10.

The Cowboys and Williams agreed to a five-year extension worth $45 million, including more than $20 million guaranteed.

Williams's stats since coming to the Cowboys:

13 Catches 177 yards and 1 TD

In essence Jones traded away solid draft picks and guaranteed a whole lot of money to a player who in all honesty is not going to make a difference in the long term future of the Cowboys. It is these types of knee jerk decisions that have set the Cowboys back year after year. The ringmaster of this circus is Jerry Jones. You know what I think; I think Jerry Jones really wants to be the coach of the Cowboys.

I love parody songs. I love Weird Al Yankovic. So when Joe Wilkins of www.footballtarian.com sent this to me I had to get permission to post it. Check it out I think you will enjoy it.

The NFL season gets kicked into high octane in the second week with the Eagles and the Cowboys facing off this week. NFL fans know this is must-see tv, these two squads have been rivals for decades, they both look to be good teams this year and they play in the best division in football to complete the trifecta.

From the Eagles fans cheering a hurt Michael Irvin as he lay on Veterans Stadium turf, to T.O. throwing shots at McNabb as his relationship deteriorated with the Eagles, there's no love lost between these teams. In Philly there are 11 commandments, somewhere in between 'Thou shall not kill' and 'Thou shall not commit adultery' you'll find: thou shall not show up at Eagles game or sports bar in a Cowboys jersey. The hate is a little more serious than the hate for the Giants or the 'Skins. It stems from the nature of Philly fans because of the city's inferiority complex and blue collar attitude. "America's Team" represents the total opposite in the eyes of Philadelphia fans, Romo, Jessica, Jerry Jones, T.O.= Hollywood... you get the point. The underline battle is the have's verse the have not's, at least this is how Philly fans view it. Of course the T.O. saga is still a thorn in the side of the die-hard Eagle fans, not to mention the Super Bowl count is 5 to none in favor of the 'Boys.

In the first week the Eagles stumped out a bunch of average dudes who obviously stole the St. Louis Rams uniforms this past week, while the Cowboys breezed by the Cleveland Browns. Well this week should be a test to see where both teams are at. It's a hard game to call because of the fact that the Rams refused to play anything that can be passed off as defense. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why the Rams still haven't fired anyone yet? I'm not yet sold on the Eagles offense being this good with questions at the receiver position coming into the season, and putting up 38 points with backups.
