Lest anyone think that the Big Tuna is in any hot water with Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones over the rather pathetic turn in the Cowboys’ season, Reid Slaughter of the Frontburner makes a persuasive case to the contrary:

THE $300 MILLION FOOTBALL GAME
This morning, as Cowboys fans reach for the Prozac to stave off another post-game grief hangover, you have to wonder: just how HUGE was that thrilling October 31 win over the Detroit Lions at Texas Stadium? It put the ‘Boys at 3-4 on the season, and you had the feeling that somehow the home team might pull out a decent season. So, let’s go to the polls Nov. 2 and give our gridiron warriors a nice new stadium to play in.
Then come the next two games. Absolute, total butt-kickings. Humiliation. On TV, many shots of Jerry Jones up in the owner’s booth, arms folded, stroking his chin with that “What the hell is wrong with us?” look on his face. I don’t know about you, but such scenes do not inspire me to ante up half of $600 million to make that man richer.
During last night’s 49-21 loss to the Eagles, John Madden said of a disconsolate Bill Parcells, “Sometimes you just need a win.” At no time was the more true than Oct. 31. And The Tuna delivered a whopper for his boss.
