dallas: now america’s second favorite

Something I’ve been wondering ever since the Saints became media darlings, are the Cowboys still America’s team? Did the Saints take their place as America’s favorites? Or can America be a two-timing whore like Canada and have two favorites?
The case for the Saints: storm-battered team that represents the reinvigorated spirit of their home town. Also have two likable players in Drew Brees and Reggie Bush, plus a Cinderella story in Marques Coltson.
The case for the Cowboys: Only team with the a coach, owner and receiver that all have egos bigger than……well, Texas. We have the Cowboys to blame for Michael Irvin. Although on the plus side their starting quarterback is knocking boots with Jessica Simpson, and their backup quarterback writes a blog (kinda).
I think it’s pretty cut and dry who America’s favorite is, right?
Cowboy to Watch: Tony Romo
Maybe it is because his great, great, great Grandmother knocked boots with her slave, but Romo has been the catalyst for the Cowboys recent success. Romo is more mobile than Bledsoe (although that isn’t difficult to do) and with the Bucs broken down defensive line Kiffin will need to blitz often to put pressure on Romo. This strategy worked against a rookie quarterback making his first start last week, will it work against a more experienced quarterback?
Buc to Watch: Joey Galloway
It’s been a good week for the Ageless Wonder. First his Buckeyes beat Michigan, then he lights up the Skins secondary in the Bucs win. The Bucs will need an even better game from Galloway this week if they want to plant the victory flag in Dallas. The Cowboys have one of the best rushing defenses in the league but their passing defense has some weaknesses (I’m looking at you Roy Williams).
