Hall Of Fame Game Recap - Cowboys (16) vs Cincinnatti (7)


My love/hate relationship with pre-season games started up again on Sunday with the Hall-of-Fame Game in Canton, Ohio (a 'pre' pre-season game, really.)

I love that football is back, but I hate that the pre-season means nothing and could result in injury (ah hem... TE John Phillips & CB Cletus Gordon.) I am glad that the Cowboys won against the Bengals, but who didn't see that one coming.

Another pet peeve is that even though Dallas played in the HOF Game, they will still have to play four more pre-season games (the first on Thursday, just 3 days away from this game,) which increases the likely-hood for even more injuries.

I gotta say though, it is refreshing to have football back on, and I still root like an idiot for Dallas to win every game, no matter if it counts or not. Next on the pre-season schedule is a home game at Oakland, away games at San Diego and Houston and a home game at Miami. Once that is all out of the way, it's full-steam ahead going into Washington for the first Sunday Night Game of the "real" season.

Let's Go Cowboys, Let's Go!!
