A Good Offensive Line

Only one day gone from 2012 Summer Olympics, and we're already into football season in Dallas?  What a great surprise tonight!  Taking a break from Bob Costas and taking a look at America's Team was fun for Mom, and for all of us, tonight.

We do love our Dallas Cowboys, even when there's not a lot to love.  But we have a whole new level of enjoyment now, watching the Cowboys through Mom's eyes and ears. Listen to some of her commentary on the plays, the players, and the news breaks between plays:

"Score at halftime, this is not a good game. Zero, Zilch, Nothing."

"Chad Ocho Cinco? What a mistake he made.  He is not smart. And I wonder if he can spell his last name?"

"Who is the quarterback?  That's not Tony Romo, that's somebody else now."

Mom "Who are they playing?  Oakland?" 

Alicia and Scott "No one likes Oakland except for Charles, and Macklin has a Raiders' shirt."

Mom "Oh."  (I think she was trying to not play favorite teams here, but we are talking about America's Team vs. the raiders. Macklin will continue to get Cowboys shirts for Christmas from his Aunt Alicia and Uncle Scott.)

"Are they kicking it again?" (yes, a lot)

"He didn't get very far that time. I don't think he did last time, either."

Mom "There sure are a lot of people at that game."  

Scott "The stands are never full for the baseball games!"

"Tony Romo still is not getting any blocking. I hope in the real season he gets blockers."

I think Mom likes Tony Romo.  She's not alone in that. :)  

She thinks he needs a good offensive line, protecting him from the Men in Black from Oakland.  She's got her own good offensive line of pill bottles lined up on the kitchen counter, and family circling her at every angle keeping the bad stuff away and only the good stuff gets through.

Some of the good stuff tonight included a delicious poppyseed chicken casserole and some of the best grapes ever - thanks!!
