- "Yes, Bob. And did you know that this is only the third game
- this team has ever played in below-freezing weather?"
-
- "That's right, Al. And they lost two of those games. I think
- the weather is really going to affect the game."
-
- "OH, and he just missed the pass! Look at those shadows on
- the field, Bob -- the cold weather is really taking its toll."
-
- WHERE on God's green earth do they come up with these
- factoids? And does *anybody* really care? I really heard this -- I'm
- not making this up.

- Gosh Rita Texas men are born knowing this kindastuff about the Cowboys, they've
- played 29 homegames below freezing, lost 14 of them, and the shadows are'nt
- too bad in cold weather unless the wind is out of the Northwest and the lunar
- cycle is in the 7th phase. Of course with the rain forest problem the spiral
- of the ball is a tad wobbly, because the earth is'nt as green and the Oxygen
- content affects the blood flow of ones passing arm. UH huh, uh huh.
- BTW. a "most excellent" New Year to you.
