Spread ‘Em

    Got your bets in for Week 4? It frequently looks like a jigsaw puzzle when looking at the spread and picking the winners before the weekend’s NFL games. Then, everyone is a genius by Monday morning.
    Our pick of the week: We like the 49ers to bounce back and cover against the Jets. I mean how good could the Jets’ secondary be with Joe McKnight earning a spot?

Enough Already

    It will take much more than Joe Flacco crying about the officiating.
    You know Roger Goodell isn’t going to do anything about the replacement refs until 1 of them cost Jerry Jones or some influential owner a game. Then, all hell will break loose and the muzzle the commissioner imposed will be tossed like a bad habit.
    These scabs are blowing big calls on a weekly basis. The lack of holding penalties called on offensive linemen is off the charts.
    What gives, Roger?

Grade A

    By moving up to take lockdown corner Morris Claiborn, who could spell weak-ass Mike Jenkins, the Cowboys graded out among the best in the NFL Draft.

Even By NCAA’s Sleazy Standards, Case Against Georgia’s Green Outrageous As Any

    Though it doesn’t surprise, I still have difficulty sometimes believing the depth of how far the NCAA will go with its sleazy tactics. Gutter ball at its finest. Take the A.J. Green case for example. The Georgia wide receiver’s case is this season’s Dez Bryant, except Green didn’t get the same penalty Bryant suffered. Thank goodness for small favors.

Big Payback: $54,896 Dinner Tab

    It’s been good being Roy Williams for the past few days. Sunday, he stuck the Texans for a pair of touchdowns in a crucial win by the ‘Boys. Monday, he helped stick rookie Dez Bryant with an outrageous dinner tab as payback for Bryant refusing to carry his pads recently.

And Since We’re Cruising Naked In Dallas, We’ll Shoot The Moon On Biggest Non-Story

    Too much baseball has almost made Blak4rest a dull boy. Almost.
    Dez Bryant refused to carry Roy Williams’ pads. Big deal. Last time we checked, Williams hasn’t carried his own pads for about 2 years. But for whatever reason, this has become the biggest non-story of the summer. I know it’s hot back there, but damn.
    If you visited the website of the Dallas Morning News, you would have thought it was Super Bowl week and Thomas Henderson unleashed the classic “Couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the ‘c’ and ‘a.’” But you know we need something to write and talk about.
    A sample of the headers: Dez Bryant’s breach of protocol a matter to address. Dez Bryant ignores issue on Monday, but he’ll eventually have to deal with it. Dez Bryant wrong to give Roy Williams the cold shoulder pad. Dez Bryant threatens to be Cowboys’ Chan Ho Park.
    There could be tons of reasons for Bryant’s refusal to be Roy’s boy. We know about rookie hazing, but some rookies have the balls to stand up and say “f-ing ‘f’ you dude! I’m going to take your freaking job.” Besides, if Texas had hammered me as much as it has Okie State, I would have passed on carrying Williams’ gear too.
    If Martellus Bennett asks Bryant to carry his tools, then we’ve got a story. But until then, get me another beer Dez and see if my man Gazzolo needs a refill too.
