Matt,

Dude, I have some serious bones to pick with you. You have been sitting too close to Rich for too long and are starting to absorb his high degree of douche-ness, which he picked up sitting next to King Douche himself, Pallillo.

Here's a little story for you:

Several weeks ago, I was listening to the radio, listening to a couple of tools talking NFL. Their team had just lost its much-anticipated season-opener, and was looking forward to a bounce-back game against its next opponent.

Unfortunately, a big hurricane was also bearing down on their town, and these two guys relayed breaking news: their team's upcoming home game had just been re-scheduled from Sunday afternoon to Monday night.

Rather than focusing on what was important - the fact that a hurricane was taking dead aim on their town, instead, all these two nimrods could do was laugh with glee about the "fact" that this schedule change meant that the regularly-scheduled Monday Night Football game (featuring a highly-anticipated match-up between Dallas and Philadelphia) would be blacked out in their town.

Completely apart from the fact that these two clowns were totally wrong, and the game was never going to be blacked out, the appalling display of 'schadenfreude' was sickening, given what was about to befall the entire city.

That was bad, bad karma. The last thing a person should be doing is taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, *especially* when you know a disaster is already headed straight for you.

So how did that work out, eh?

'Boys beat the Iggles in a MNF thriller (which everyone in Houston was going to be able to watch, anyway), the Texans' week was lost, and they then followed that with a drive to 0-4 with some of the most memorable displays of football misfortune I have ever seen.

Now I am as happy as anyone that Houston finally broke through with a win. I want them to do well. I am actually a fan of both teams; it's good that the Texans may be turning it around, and I am not happy with Dallas' o-line or the defense in general. And you know as well as I do that there is a significant number of people like me in this market, so I will never understand how anyone in a media business could ever think it makes good business sense to deliberately piss off a large segment of your audience. What, Cowboys fans don't spend $$ on your advertisers?

I don't blame you though Matt. In my mind, it's Rich, and you are just getting sucked up into the yankee's orbit. But you are better than that, you are about 100 times better than him as a radio sports personality. You are better than stooping to giggling like a little girl about how so many people might be unhappy about not being able to watch a football game on tv.

It wasn't classy, and it was made ten times worse because it came at a time when a hurricane was about to lay the smackdown on this entire region.

I am not saying you should act like you love the Cowboys or anything like that. I am just saying that taking a large segment of your audience, people who loyally listen to you every day on the radio, and deliberately treating them like dirt, treating them as though you want to make them stop listening, thus reducing your number of listeners.. it's just very very poor behavior. It makes you guys appear petty. Now Rich, calling him petty would be an insult to petty people. But you are better than that.

Just my $.02 as a listener.

Oh and um,yes, Dallas DID need another top-shelf wideout in the worst way. Ever since Glenn got tossed, it was inevitable that teams would start doubling TO every play and rolling the dice with everyone else. And it has worked well. This puts a stop to that.
