Bag of Randomness for Wednesday, January 17, 2024

  • NASA is trying to turn the sonic boom into the sonic thump.
  • What the heck did the reporter have in mind when asking this question?

  • Every home team won their playoff game except our Dallas Cowboys.
  • Seeing arrogant and cocky Philly head coach Nick Sirianni’s team implode brings joy to most of the football world.
  • Everyone laughed at this tweet sent by the @AtlantaFalcons on Monday, “We have interviewed Bill Belichick for our head coach opening.” Why the laughter? Because everyone knew it wasn’t the Falcons interviewing him, it was Belichick interviewing the Falcons. More than likely, it went like this. Team owner Arthur Blank tried to start a legitimate interview, then Bill Belichick grimaced, and said, “Look, here’s how this is gonna go …”
  • Belichick will not make up his mind about where he is going until Jerry makes up his mind.
  • Belichick has a lot of admiration for Roger Staubach. His father coached at Navy when Staubach played, and seriously, they used to play catch. If I were to write some Dallas Cowboys fan fiction (though, I wouldn’t doubt this may be happening), I’d have Jerry communicating through back channels to Belichick through Staubach.
  • Per Jay Fowler of ESPN, Bill Belichick is seeking to coach a “talented” but “underachieving” team. This has Dallas written all over it, and I’m sure he can’t wait to coach the closest version of LT he’ll ever see with Micah Parsons. Eagles fans think this means he’s coming to Philly. He ain’t going to Philly.

  • A lot of folks keep blaming ownership (Jerry) for the Cowboys not making it to the NFC Championship game over the last 28 years. I think that was a legitimate argument before Parcells coached the team. Since Parcells, the Cowboys have made the playoffs nine times. The last three years they went 12-5. Most GM duties are done by Will McClay. How exactly is ownership failing the team? Jerry and his family aren’t putting the pads on or calling the plays. Sure, he and his family are the one constant, but what more or what less can he do?
  • I don’t like how Iowa is always the first state that kicks off the presidential race for a plethora of reasons. I don’t know what I want, but I know I don’t like Iowa kicking things off.
  • I’m not saying I want this, but I’d like to hear a healthy debate there being no party nominations or state runoffs for the presidential race. Just one election the second Tuesday in November and that’s it.
