Cowboys March Over Saints

Last night before 91,000+ hometown fans and a nationwide television audience on Sunday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys gave what would be their most dominant performance of the young NFL season.  It has been the fashion of late for the team who wins the opening coin toss to defer receiving the ball until the second half kickoff.  The Cowboys demurred to do so however, taking the opening kickoff.  The Cowboys then proceeded to shove the ball down the throats of the the New Orleans Saints, marching down the field on a 12 play/80 yard opening drive which took up the first 7:10 of the game.  The drive resulted in the Cowboys first TD of the night.  The Saints never fully gained any momentum while the Cowboys played an almost perfect game, building a 24-0 halftime lead.  The Cowboys relied on the legs of DeMarco Murray who had his 4th 100 yard game of the season.  Murray joins the vaunted Emmet Smith as the only Cowboys to open the season with 4 straight 100 yard games.  Tony Dorset had a string of 4 100 yard games but they were not to open the season.  Murray did not fumble for the first time this season, scored twice and Tony Romo threw 3 TD's with no interceptions on their way to routing the Saints. 

Dallas ran the score up to 31-3 before Drew Brees and the Saints took a stab at a 4th quarter comeback.  The Saints scored twice closing to 31-17 midway through the 4th.  The Cowboys then slammed the door with their defense, snuffing out an attempted fake punt, then marching to the game clinching score.  The scoring pass was a thing of beauty from Tony Romo to Dez Bryant who made the leaping grab for 18 yards over the hands of the defender, twisting and turning to land in the front corner of the End Zone by the pylon.  The Cowboys also snuffed out the final Saints drive, then proceeded to run out the clock.  Final Score Cowboys 38, Saints 17.  

In other happy NFL news, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers scored their first victory of the season in Pittsburgh 27-24 over the Steelers on a last minute TD.  The New York Giants and the Washington Redskins are both vying for the title of "Ms Also Ran" at the bottom of the NFC East.  The Giants drummed the Redskins in Washington 45-14 leaving Giants 2-2 and the Redskins 1-3.  Even the hated SF 49ers blessed the Cowboys yesterday when they bested the Philadelphia Eagles 26-21 in SF.  This dropped the Eagles into a tie for first in the NFC East division race at 3-1 with the Cowboys.  I have to watch Monday Night Football tonight with the New England Patriots playing at Arrowhead Stadium in KC against the Chiefs.   I have a customer who is a rabid Patriots fan and we will surely discuss the weekend games, especially the Cowboys and Patriots results on Tuesday.  I have to be prepared, there will probably be a test (lol!). 

Now for your Monday with Mozart, we explore four of Wolfgang's Trumpet Concerti, Number 1 in D Major and Numbers 2, 3 and 4 in E Flat Major.  Today's performance is by the Orquesta del Mozarteum de Salzburg under the baton of Director Leopold Hager which features Hermann Baumann as the Trumpet Soloist.  You may also hear Mozart's 'A Musical Joke' performed by The Village Musicians over on my tumblr.  

Last but not least we come to the most visually entertaining portion of any day here at Nichevo with another bevy of masculine pulchritude upon which to gaze longingly as you make your way down the page.  This being Monday, all these magnificent men are adorned  in their finest Monday's Undies for your viewing pleasure.  You may also want to cast an eye over at Anthony who is your Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr.  He fills his briefs quite nicely below those washboard abs and seductive smile.  Thanks for starting the week with me, see you again soon.  Until next time as always, Enjoy! 

Whacko B. Whacko

By now, you all are familiar with one Bryan Fischer, the Senior Issues Analyst and leading Spokeshater of the American Family Association.  In his latest diatribe, Fischer is once again calling for a 'holy war' against the 'Big Gay' movement who apparently want to persecute and destroy Christians a la Hitler and the Jews.  I kid you not, this guy who should be known as Whacko B. Whacko, went far beyond his 'normal' extremes in his call to arms for this 'holy war'.  I have quoted from his article below to illustrate just how whacked he is.

Everywhere Big Gay gains ground, Christ is forced into retreat.

Everything hinges on the outcome of this cultural conflict. Whether America continues to be a beacon of faith, family and freedom will be determined by who wins this battle. If the forces of sexual normalcy and natural marriage prevail, America will once again move the world toward the sunlit uplands of civilization, family, morality, goodness and prosperity.

But if the forces of sexual deviancy prevail, every part of our culture will be corrupted and contaminated beyond repair, and America will plunge the world into a moral abyss of darkness and depravity.

In their quest for cultural domination, they will relentlessly extinguish the light of sexual normalcy and morality, as well as the light of Christianity.
They have the will to crush biblical Christianity into broken pieces. They lack only the power.

Advocates of sodomy-based marriage want to push Christians so far into retreat that they dare not poke their heads out of their own church buildings. This is the very spirit of Hitler, who bottled up the Christians of his day inside the four walls of their buildings.

Hitler and his propaganda machine concocted slogans such as "Politics do not belong in the church" and "The church must be separate from the state" to neuter Christians and paralyze the church's ability to resist his totalitarian impulses. (Yes, you read that right. Those slogans did not come from so-called civil libertarians like the ACLU, they came from the fevered mind of Adolf Hitler.)

Said Winston Churchill:

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

The time to stand against the war machine of the homosexual regime is now. Today. It is still a battle the forces of goodness can win. But we must not wait another day.

What Whacko seems to forget is that his self same religious freedom to believe as he wants is our self same religious freedom to believe as we want.  Even if our beliefs are diametrically opposed to his, he and we both have the same rights to our beliefs.  What we both do not have is the right to impose those beliefs on someone other than ourselves.  As part of the 'Big Gay', I know that I personally do not wish to curtail his religious freedom, he can be as whacked as he wants to be in the confines of his church and daily life.  However, when he calls for an armed resolution to the 'homosexual agenda', just who is acting more like Hitler?  Perhaps we should all hang his portrait on every wall in sight and revere him as 'The Fuhrer'.  My stiff armed salute to Herr Fischer would not be one he would like, it would definitely have only my middle finger extended reflecting my opinion of him and his 'holy war'.  Now I think I will go watch some porn to get the acrid smell of his bigoted bullshit out of my olfactory passages.
