    "Since the start of the 2007 season, the Cowboys are 7-8 when one of their offensive line starters misses a game. "

    ...uhhh, and your point is?

    I'm the first to say that us Cowboys Fans shouldn't be living in the shadow of past glories, but what deep, dark reaches of someone's rectum did this stat have get pulled from?

    True offensive line starter is out but that is no excuse for Jason Garrett not to get creative with some of the other weapons. No excuse at all.

    Jason Whitlock is such a blowhard. I literally cannot remember the last time I read anything in his columns that was anywhere close to insightful.

    I get that a lot of people have problems with Todd Haley's coaching style, but Jason just looks like an idiot by making EVERY single column he writes some kind of indictment on Haley. He says at the beginning of his column "the intent of this column is not to demonize Todd Haley", and that's pretty much the first signpost that the column is going to be yet another diatribe against Haley. How a column that includes the phrase "Haley's coaching style is disrespectful" can purport to not be "demonizing" Haley is beyond me, but whatever. I guess I just don't have Whitlock's nuanced understanding of the inner workings of the Kansas City Chiefs.

    And no, I'm not a Chiefs fan. I'm just sick of Whitlock's incoherent crap getting published all over FOX Sports and PFT. He's a numbskull.
