Wild and Wacky Week

It has certainly been a dizzying week. Most of the week was filled with losses. Sunday, the loss was to The Cardinals in overtime. On Monday, the loss was Tony Romo for 4 weeks, Felix Jones for 2-4 weeks, Sam Hurd and Mat McBriar for the season and Anthony Spencer for at least a week. On Tuesday, the loss was Adam "Pacman" Jones, for at least 4 weeks of suspension because of his off-field antics.

Tuesday, however, also marked the beginning of a new era for The Cowboys as they just barely made the trade deadline and acquired WR Roy Williams and a 7th round pick from Detroit. In exchange Dallas will hand over a 1st, 3rd and 6th round pick. Roy Williams will provide a very suitable complement to Terrell Owens and will make defenses think twice about how to handle this offense.

Along with Williams, another new Cowboy joined the 53 main roster on Tuesday. To replace punter Mat McBriar, Sam Paulescu was hired. Paulescu was around for last year's training camp and spent this past summer with The Saints and The Vikings, but remained a free agent so far this season.

Wednesday brought news that Brett Favre had called Tony Romo, and encouraged him to play through the pain. Romo must have taken his advice and is telling his coaches that he is willing to play on Sunday against The Rams. That decision will ultimately come from Wade Phillips and the medical staff. The Cowboys have gone forward and had Brad Johnson under center during practice, and more than likely, Johnson will get the start.

Thursday has been relatively calm in terms of Cowboys' news, which is a much needed break after such a rollercoaster of a week, but hey, it is still early.

Sunday at 1 p.m., Dallas will travel to St. Louis and it doesn't matter if it's Romo or Johnson, they will be shooting for a win anyway they can. St. Louis has just defeated The Redskins, and they may be hunting for NFC East teams, but if Dallas can pull it together, they should easily sail to 5-2, of course I said the same thing for the Washington and Arizona games, so who knows. After this week, I'm just sitting back and watching this soap opera develop.
