Canine Corner: Valentino

  This handsome guy is Valentino. He's a special boy who was abandoned at the Dallas shelter when his previous owner realized he was deaf. (Sidenote: Some people suck.) Valentino has never let his disability slow him down. He completed basic obedience training, and he now knows sign language! He proved to be a fast learner, having mastered 23 hand signals in only five weeks.

  Valentino lost his left eye in a freak accident while he was playing. He's still just as cheerful as ever! He gets along great with his foster pup siblings, and he loves cuddling with humans too. This Australian Cattle dog is 10 months old. He's already neutered and current on his shots. He's also housebroken and crate-trained. Valentino will make someone's family very happy. Might it be yours?

  To find out more about sweet Valentino, please click here. (Our last Canine Corner dog was Ally.)

   *The Cowboys aren't necessarily successful, but no denying they are wildly entertaining. And, most of all, nauseating. No team in the NFL loses as dramatically as the Cowboys. No coach authors as many heart-breaking, kick-to-the-crotch defeats as Jason Garrett. And, yes, I do have the facts to back that up. In Garrett's 54 games as head coach, 14 have been White-Knuckler losses. Think about that. 25 percent of the time you've watched a Cowboys' game since mid-2010 it's ended in a heart-breaking loss. Wade Phillips' percentage was ...

20 Years Later, Cowboys' Same Greedy Strategy Produces Drastically Different Results

   One of the most memorable plays in Dallas Cowboys' history was born of illogical desperation and founded upon a distrust of the defense.
   No, not Sunday's interception by Tony Romo in which he changed a run into a pass and then transformed a sack into a pick. I'm talking about the play that ignited their 1990s dynasty.
   On January 17, 1993 the Cowboys were clinging to a 24-20 lead on the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game in the slop of Candlestick Park ...

      Whether you're at the end of your coffee, your day, your week or even your rope, welcome to Whitt's End:

   *Let's go back to August. The Cowboys are preparing for their season when the ghost of football future (there is such a dude, right?) appears with this offer: Tony Romo will play so well that he throws 20 more touchdowns than interceptions (27-7) and to win the NFC East in 2013 your team gets to face five consecutive backup quarterbacks down the stretch. But if they don't beat them and make the playoffs, I take away your DVRs. Forever. We'd have taken that deal, right? Because, sure enough, look at who the Cowboys will face in the season's final five weeks: Quarterbacks who are injury replacements or who started the season as afterthought second- or even third-stringers. Matt McGloin (Raiders), Josh McCown (Bears), Matt Flynn (Packers), Kirk Cousins (Redskins) and Nick Foles (Eagles). There's a decent chance none of those teams make the playoffs. You can't say it wasn't all laid out lovingly and invitingly before the Cowboys. And, yes, if Tony Romo can't beat four of those five quarterbacks in this stretch then ... gulp.

That means of course that, yep, the Cowboys - for the first time in franchise history - have surrendered 45+ points three times in a single season. But, okay, tell me one more time that it's all Tony Romo's fault.

Cowboys-Bears on Monday Night Football: My 10-Point Preview

   10. Last time these teams met on Monday Night Football things didn't go so swell for the Cowboys. On Oct. 1, 2012 Tony Romo threw five interceptions and Dallas was emBearassed, 34-18. Tonight's game will feature the Bears retiring the No. 89 worn by Mike Ditka, who also of course coached Chicago to win Super Bowl XX. But some of us are old enough to remember No. 89 catching a touchdown pass from Roger Staubach in Super Bowl VI. His name, too, was Mike Ditka ...
