My Goodness, all we heard this v long week for NFL fans, was how the Cowboys had ARRIVED! AT LAST! They were for real this time! Farve would throw four picks, All Day would fumble thrice, ... well, so much for that. (I can't wait to hear Trent Dilfer tonight, ... hmmm, delicious as Bouchon restaurant in Yountville.)
Willie and Michael and all my Dallas friends: I feel your pain. It's the crappy pundits who have turned ESPN & NFL Network in to Fox News that I HATE!
And, as for Skip Bayliss: My dad went to high school w/ the Bayliss bros. Skip was an amazing sportswriter for the Times-Herald back in the day, at times he even rivaled Blackie Sherrod, one of the greatest sportswriters of all-time, whose "Notes" column has been ripped-off by at least one high-paying sportswriter in every newspaper market, but now, Skip has been FOX-ified, turned in to a reactionary sports pundit. Meanwhile, his brother Rick has turned in to an Oklahoma cooking legend, perfecting, yet still, remaining authentic to real Mexican food. And Rick Bayliss is a genuinely great guy. I don't know what Skip is like away from the studio, maybe he's got as good a heart as Rick, but his schtick on weekday mornings does not lead me to believe he is.
Whoodathunkit? I dint even know who Rick Bayliss was when I delighted to Skip Bayliss' amazing writing on the Cowboys and Phi Slamma Jamma and Navratilova. It's been all downhill since, hunh, Rick?
