• I think this will be my last full day of posts until next year.  I have time scheduled off from work for the next two weeks and would like to have some R&R and spend it with family.  There may be an occasional post here and there, buy for the most part don’t expect anything.
• Wow, what a stinker to close out Texas Stadium.  Geeeeeeze.
• I’ll come out and say it even as a Cowboys fan . . . there’s no football team that has fans that live in the past more than the Dallas Cowboys.
• With that said, closing Texas Stadium will be good since there’s nothing concrete to hold on to.  They can continue to stink and disappoint on their own.
• It was nice to hear Roger comment about the fans that stayed for the post game ceremony.  He acknowledge how dedicated they must be to stay after a loss, and he thought they should gather up their addresses to send them a thank you card for being so loyal.
• And another Roger thought . . . it was nice of him to make sure that Brad Schram made mention of Coach Landry.
• For a moment I thought there was going to be some type of memorable comeback, something like this one.
• It was also nice to see the wives of players who are deceased or who couldn’t make it represent their husbands.
• And what what up with Irvin and Emmitt not wearing a jersey like all the others?  If Roger can wear a jersey, they certainly could have.  I did hear that the Playmaker had a lot of choice words regarding the game.
• Randy White is always introduced as Super Bowl MVP.  He should be introduced as co-Super Bowl MVP, not doing so dishonors the memory of Harvey Martin.
• The audio quality was terrible for the post game ceremony.  What a disappointment.
• But not as much as a disappointment as the play on the field.
• I couldn’t believe my ears when Jerry Jones was introduced and a small snippit of the Country Crows “Mr Jones” was play as if this was a Ticket bit.
• It was nice to see that Crazy Ray was remembered.
• I’m usually pretty selective who I watch football with, because it’s such a whip to hear ignorant people comment during the game.  For instance, I had to listen to someone continue to tell me that the reason there’s a hole in the roof of Texas Stadium was because they ran out of money.  He genuinely believed that.
• Dallas sports sure has been disappointing for the last decade.  Even if our team does well in the regular season, they just stink it up in the playoff, which makes the following years tough to watch because you know when it comes to wins that really matter, they just come up short.
• The Cowboys don’t deserve to make the playoff.
• Jason Garrett is not the offensive genius we thought he was.
• If Wade is fired, I think Jerry should do his best to bring in Holgren.  If our quarterback is Farve-like (he’s no Farve, just Farve-like) then Holgren would be a great mentor to him.  Not to mention, he’s both a players’ coach and one that can get in their face.
• If Wade isn’t fired, then our defensive coach and special teams coach need to be cut loose.  I’m not sure how I feel about our offenive coordinator, but he needs to go back to the drawing board.
• I bet Jerry is now a little worried about season ticket sales at the new stadium.
• Romo has peaked, this is most likely the best he will ever get.
• It’s fun watching games played in the snow.  But it’s better when the game is played in the snow on a natural grass field.
• I enjoyed reading this blog post about Rick Warren and Obama.
• For the first time I saw the greatness of a movie on a Blue-Ray DVD.  I just couldn’t believe the detail and the 3D effect.  It was just amazing.
• Santa mug shots.  Link
• Dancing R2’s.  YouTube
• NASA is taking bids for the space shuttles.  Link
• Dennis Quaid has a cute dog that Hey Jules will love.  Link
• Flickr Santa trick.  Link
• I’ve always wanted to visit the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas and slide down one of their slides, but now I learned that a shark actually jumped onto one of those slides from his tank.  Link with pics.
• Here’s the Christmas letter we sent out in case you are interested.  It’s in a Power Point presentation.

No Line On The Horizon, the new studio album from U2, will be released on Monday 2nd March 2009.

As a paying U2.com subscriber I’m a bit peeved that we were not the first to know via email, as they have often sent other news to us via email.  I had to hear this news from a friend. I may have to take this day off work and act like a teenage girl buying the CD and taking it home and listening to it all the way through. Yeah, I can download it, but I want the actual CD with cover and all to add to the collection.

In other U2 news . . . a new song and video:

U2’s cover of Greg Lake’s ‘I Believe in Father Christmas’

And a few more U2 Christmas related videos just because . . .

Baby Please Come Home

A bad version of Happy Christmas, but it’s funny just to see Adam just sitting there since there isn’t any drums involved.

Do They Know It’s Christmas
