I’ll tell you this: I read a lot of stupid stuff coming from websites with big names like ESPN, CBS Sportsline, Yahoo, etc. I try not to waste too much time wondering where they get these guys that seem a bit clueless about their subject, but sometimes I can’t help myself.

This is one of those times.

Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports has written up ten story lines for the NFC playoffs, and Dallas is spotlighted in two of them. And both of them show — well, let’s just call it a bit of ignorance about the Dallas Cowboys and leave it at that.

Filed under: Will Terrell Owens and Terence Newman be ready for the playoffs?

If the Seahawks beat the Redskins, either of Dallas’ second-round opponents — Tampa Bay or New York — could cause problems. Without Newman, the Cowboys won’t have a player who can match up with the speed of Joey Galloway or the size of Plaxico Burress.

My Question: Since when did 5′11 Terence Newman match the size of 6′5″ Plaxico Burress? Hey, it’s great that he’s giving Newman some well-deserved props, but let’s stick to the facts. I think its Newman’s coverage ability we’ll miss, not his perhaps-slightly-smaller-than-average stature.

Filed under: The curse of the succubus will doom Dallas. (We’re kidding. No, really, it will.)

By now, we all know that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo gets the yips playing in front of his love interests. His stats in front of Carrie Underwood/Jessica Simpson? An 0-2 record, five interceptions, a pair of embarrassing passer ratings (45.4 in front of Underwood and 22.2 in front of Simpson) and droves of irate Cowboys fans who would rather see Romo taking the “lone” in Lone Star State literally.

My Question: Since when was Carrie Underwood only at one game and Jessica Simpson only at one game? It’s pretty much well-known that Simpson witnessed Romo take down a few teams before everyone saw her at the Eagles game. Okay, well-known to everyone outside of Yahoo! Sports.
