From where I sat on Sunday here were some things that popped into my head:</P>-Dolphins coach Tony Sporanao could have been put into the middle of the old Saturday Night Live “da Bears” skit with George Wendt, Chris Farley and Mike Myers and nobody would have known the difference.</P>-It’s amazing what a little desperation can do for a team.  The Dallas Cowboys, dangerously close to the dreaded 0-3 NFL start, played like the team many experts picked to go to the Super Bowl.  DeMarcus Ware’s 3 sacks and Roy Williams’ Cowboy-best receiving day got them through.</P>-How about Roy Williams.  I guess the threat of a rookie taking your job can do wonders for a man’s work ethic.  I don’t know that when Jerry Jones drafted Dez Bryant he knew he would actually end up getting two good receivers.  But that’s now what he has.</P>-The hardest part about making Michael Vick a starting quarterback again was worrying about dealing with public backlash.  His talent is unquestioned.  Either that or Kevin Kolb is headed to the Pro Bowl one day because apparently the Eagles thought  he was better than Vick.</P>-It’s a bad time to be an OU kicker.  Past or present.  Patrick O’Hara is hurt.  Jimmy Stevens missed another field goal Saturday.  And Garrett Hartley blew a gimme field goal that would’ve given the Saints a win over the Falcons in overtime Sunday.  Somebody keep an eye on Uwe Von Schamman and the Lashar brothers.</P>What a great week coming up in sports.  OSU and A&M and mine and my wife’s 15-year anniversary Thursday, Ryder Cup, OU and Tulsa on Saturday.  Enjoy.</P><BR/>May 26th, 2011
