One of my favorite truisms is Einstein's definition of insanity, which goes something like this:
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."
I wasn't aware that it was Einstein who coined it, but I do remember where I heard it that it stuck and I have used it since whether I applied to my own "insanity", or applying to what other's might be doing. It has been an endless source of humor for me...
Here is an application as it applies to my local sports teams... Enjoy!

Rest in Peace, Crazy Ray
Sad news for Cowboys fans. Crazy Ray, the unofficial mascot of the Cowboys, has passed away. He had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago. He will be missed! Rest in Peace, #1 Cowboy fan!

Small-town Texas boy comes home
He's a big boy from a small town and he's coming home. The former UT star, and first round pick of the Cardinals signed a sizable deal with the 'Boys. He was considered somewhat of a disappointment in Arizona, but I think he will perform well for Cowboys and be a cornerstone for a very good O-line next season. Go Cowboys!

Cowboys Hire Two New Assistant Coaches
They have a few more positions to fill, but at least the staff is rounding out. I am not TOO excited about the Wade Phillips hire, but he has had some success. But it's very important to have a good staff and at least there's some experience with these two hires. Jason Garrett will be the offensive coordinator, a position he has never held. Last years play caller, Tony Sparano, is basically getting a demotion, even though the offense averaged almost 30 points a game. Mr. Sparano is a good coach, not to mention that both his son's played at Grapevine High, with my oldest son. He deserves better, imho...
Here's the story from the Dallas Morning News:
07:50 PM CST on Wednesday, February 14, 2007
The Cowboys named Ray Sherman wide receivers coach and John Garrett tight ends coach Wednesday.
Sherman, who's spent 33 years as a coach, spent the last two with the Tennessee Titans as their receivers coach.
Ray Sherman
Before that, he spent five seasons in Green Bay as wide receivers coach. Sherman, who has worked for seven NFL teams, was an offensive coordinator for Minnesota (1999) and Pittsburgh (1998).
John Garrett, the brother of Jason Garrett, was an assistant coach at Virginia the last three years. This past season, John Garrett was the assistant head coach for the offense.
New Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said he's trying to hire all of his assistant coaches by the end of the week.
Phillips needs to hire a running backs coach and possibly a quarterbacks coach. Jason Garrett, according to sources, will become the offensive coordinator. He might also add quarterbacks to his job duties.
On the defensive side, Dallas needs a special teams coach and possibly a secondary coach. Todd Bowles, the current secondary coach, could be elevated to defensive coordinator.
Update: Cowboys hire another coach, from The Dallas Morning News
Peete hired as running backs coach

Skip Peete
Wade Phillips added another assistant to his staff Thursday when Skip Peete agreed to be the Cowboys' running backs coach.
Peete, who would have been a candidate for the job had Norv Turner been named head coach, had been Oakland's running backs coach since 1998. His brother, Rodney, played for the Cowboys in 1994.
Peete, 43, will take over for Anthony Lynn, who joined Cleveland after his contract expired.

There's a reason for so little Cowboy's coverage...
I live and die by a few teams... and the team I have the most history with is the Dallas Cowboys. But it's been hard being a Cowboys fan, because, quite frankly if they aren't winning you constantly hear it from the die-hard Cowboy haters out there. I've been fortunate to grow up and live through about 3-4 really GREAT times as a Cowboy fan, even when they were losing to the f'n Pittsburgh Steelers, who I have grown to respect and no longer "hate" as much... Wasn't that win in '95 SUPER sweet? Anyway, in these days of the watered-down, parity-loving NFL, not having a dominating Cowboys team is depressing. I mean going into December didn't you just feel that the Cowboys were the team to beat in the NFC? Then came December... the defensive melt-downs, the QB who could do no wrong suddenly can't do right and the small things that add up, like the Roy Williams interception that was called back by a penalty (What penalty?), the Terry Glenn fumble that cost the Cowboys 8 points (thankfully not 10, but it didn't matter), event the punt and kickoff returns for touchdowns in the last two games were for naught... go figure!!! Love the Cowboys, but it's hard to be a Cowboy fan right now... Ready for next year... Again...
