Things that went through my mind this weekend:I hope that Burger King is not a sponsor of our site.  We’d love to have them if not, but those new commercials where the people are rambling in monotone, meaningless sentences about the breakfast menu may send the entire company into bankruptcy.  They are brutal!  Bring back Burger the King!  He was great!For the first time since I can remember in an OSU Texas Tech game I didn’t fear Tech coming back to win after they were down by three scores.  At least not as much as in the past.  It’s a combination of two things:  1. Bill Young is now on the sidelines for the Cowboys  2.Mike Leach is no longer there for the Red Raiders.  Tommy T may to on to win a Big 12 title in Lubbock, but the fear factor of facing that offense is gone and I’m not sure what Tech had going other than that.Blake Griffin and Sam Bradford will both be Rookie of the Year in their leagues.  John Wall and injury are the only things standing in the way of it.  That final, last-ditch play with all of the laterals in the Dallas Cowboys’ game is microcosm of the team itself.  Full of bluster and entertaining at times, but in the end going nowhere.Dallas fans saying you want Wade Phillips fired (and I agree with you) need to ask this question:  Who can they get to replace him?  Jason Garrett?  Most want him out with Phillips.  Do you think Bill Cowher or John Gruden or Tony Dungy wants to come in and let Jerry Jones have all of the power?Baseball has to do something.  They are losing the race with the NBA, NFL and College Football.  Ratings are terrible and attendance is down, but nobody wants to admit there’s a problem.  Just as with the steriod era, Bud Selig and his boys are burying their heads in the sand.  Attendance and ratings are down.  That means fewer eyeballs on the game and that will eventually mean fewer advertisers want to spend the money to have their products advertised on game broadcasts and in stadiums.
