Well, do you have a better explanation? It HAS to be Mars, I tell you.
Disclaimer: it’s only the 3rd quarter. Not that Dallas would let a big lead get away from them - oh, no, that couldn’t happen.
52-13 now according to NFL.com. Damn – perhaps even the Cowpokes can’t find a way to lose this one (as per their usual pattern).
Considering the last couple of seasons, though – they just need to ditch both of those QBs and draft a good one.
Whew! Thanks, Monstre - for a second there, I thought the menfolk of the SDMB were intimidated by a female talking about football. Heh.
On the QB thing, though - Carter did OK tonight, yes? We’ll have to wait and see if the rookies step up…
I work in Valley Ranch (Irving, TX) right by the Cowboys training camp, and a HUGE indoor football field was erected (in about 5 days) across the street from my office building. I haven’t heard a word about it from the press - but I have to assume it will be the new training/practice facility.
I think that simply nobody else is willing to come out of the closet and admit that they are, or have ever been, a Cowboys fan… 
Actually, I have no idea – if they were on TV, I wasn’t aware of it. Actually, didn’t even know they were playing tonight until I saw your post. (Monstre’s a little lax on keeping up with pre-season…)

I hear you, man. 53-13 was the final score in the 'Boys last pre-season game. I’ve lived in this damn town all my life, so I yearn for the days when I wasn’t ashamed of the team.
JJ’s plastic surgery turned out pretty good, though, dontchathink?
Nice score – hope that is a positive sign for the season to come. Was glad to see Emmitt hit the all time rushing record last year – at least one high point to the season.
The Cowboys looked much better this week than last.
The question is, can they be successful without Emmitt?
In related news, Jeff Blake went down with a concussion. They apparently pulled Emmitt early because of this. I wonder is his shoulders are big enough to carry the Cards.
Oh, come on. It hasn’t been that long, has it? I thought Dallas was “America’s Team.”
It’s been FOREVER since I heard them called that!
Sigh.
yeah, well… grats on beatin’ my boys from Oaktown… and not just beating them… but Beating them DOWN! ('course we all know it doesn’t mean anything)
I hate the Cowboys because of that “America’s Team” garbage. The worst thing to tell a 5-6 year-old baby’Beast is “this is America’s team… you have to like them!”
and good luck with that whole Quincy Carter / Troy Hambrick thing. I got to believe if they are the best you got… you got troubles, long haul.
PRE SEASON!!!
Any cowboy fan knows that poor performance in pre season is indicative of a good regular season.
Jezus! are you guys TRYING to jinx it? Next you’ll be cheering when they wear the BLUE JERSEYS!
seriously though, they looked good?
Now you’re just talking CRAZY TALK!
[sticking fingers in ears] LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!!!
Y’all know it was just a practice game, right? Whuppin’s in August don’t mean a thing, except for the REAL football game last night: Kent State 41, Akron 38!
