Resolved Question: If Cowboys Think Big, Why Keep Phillips?

Jerry Jones built the world's largest domed stadium, one with an exterior made of fritted glass and limestone rock, one that cost $1.3 billion and has a magnificent high-def screen hanging from one 20-yard line to the other, one with 3,000 LCD units and huge partitions that open in both end zones, one that charges $800,000 per year to lease a luxury suite and prices a pizza at $90 and a 12-pack of beer at $66 in those suites, one that has players enter the field through a sports bar with see-through walls and delirious fans, one that even includes a elaborate locker room for -- ta da! -- the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. "Words just can't explain how grateful we are for it. Each girl has her own locker like the players, with our own individual mirror, plugs and storage," gushes Cassie Trammell, a squad member. And yet, though he constructs such a colossus and continues to proclaim the Cowboys as America's Team 14 years since their last Super Bowl victory, Jones made a decision Monday that reflects comparatively smallish thinking. The owner/general manager, a dangerous combination in his case, will reportedly bring back Wade Phillips as coach for the 2010 season. This is akin to inventing the world's sleekest automobile, then installing an 8-track tape player. And it confirms what we've known throughout a dry, maddening period in Cowboys history: That Jones would prefer to have an inferior coach whom he can puppeteer, one whose image never will be larger than his, than appoint a marquee name who can win a championship. Had he gone to Bill Cowher with a promise -- to stay out of the way, promote prize fights and rock concerts at his entertainment complex and spend games eating $90 pizzas instead of wandering down to the sideline -- my guess is that the premier unemployed football coach on the planet would have signed immediately. But Jones' massive ego never could handle relinquishing power, even when it has been established that he closely resembles a buffoon as a lead executive.The problem is that the Cowboys, under an elite coach named Jimmy Johnson, won consecutive Super Bowl titles, then a third under Barry Switzer two years later, not long after Jones purchased the franchise in 1989. Since then, Jones has convinced himself that he is the central reason for that dynasty, conveniently forgetting that his monster has won exactly one playoff game since 1996. The fact the win came this postseason, in the wild-card round, was enough for Jones to retain Phillips. Never mind that this past Sunday, in the divisional round, the Cowboys were pummeled so convincingly by the Minnesota Vikings -- 34-3 says it all -- that it washed away all momentum gained from the previous few weeks. Never mind that the way Jones has structured the team's coaching infrastructure, with Phillips responsible for the defense and Jason Garrett responsible for the offense, has trivialized the concept of Phillips as the head coach. Never mind that the lack of a leadership totem pole becomes an issue when Garrett needs a kick in the tail for not adjusting to the Vikings' furious pass rush, for giving the ball to a plodding Marion Barber too much in the second quarter when Felix Jones had been so effective earlier, for not developing Tony Romo into a poised, savvy quarterback who can improvise his way out of pressure instead of dancing around haplessly like a drunk on Greenville Avenue. Seems Jones painted himself into a corner by growing a little too excited the week before. That is when he hastily declared, "Can we all together on three say it? The demons are -- what? -- gone!" Yeah, gone for a week. If the Cowboys had eluded what would have been an NFL-record seventh consecutive postseason loss, they went on to Minnesota and extended a road playoff losing streak that has lasted 17 friggin' years. To me, Jones is a fraud when it comes to the excessive hype of his franchise. He wants us to believe the Cowboys are the New York Yankees of pro football, that they are as popular as any sports team in the world, that he built a stadium worthy of their magnitude. Yet, on the field, he's content simply to win his first playoff game in eons even after being blown out in the next game and failing to reach the NFC championship game. The Yankees don't think this way. Manchester United and Real Madrid don't think this way. They fire coaches and managers who don't reach expectations. Therefore, stop thinking of the Cowboys as America's Team. You can't represent an entire country when three U.S. presidents have served five terms since your last league championship. Shoot, you can't represent an entire country when you're barely the best NFL team in Texas, with the Houston Texans finally shedding their post-expansion rut to become very competitive. If Jones is pleased with Phillips -- who now is 1-5 as a playoff coach with three teams, the first two of whom (Buffalo and San Diego) fired him -- then he's running nothing more than Mediocri more

Resolved Question: Anyone live in Concord Square Apartments in Reseda, CA?

I am moving from Dallas to Los Angeles. I would like to find a place before I move so I don't have any lay over at an extended stay or the like.

This is a shot in the dark, I know. more

Resolved Question: My husband wants to move to Dallas, Texas and I don't?

My support system is here in the NorthEast and we have 3 small children. one is 5, twins are 4 months old. He wants me to be able to stay at home and care for our children, which I would love, but we can't afford that out here, so daycare it is. I would be willing to move to a place that is within driving distance, but that's not where his job would take us. He says that his friends would be there to support me, but honestly, I don't know them well enough to trust that. My husband travels a lot (1 to 2 weeks a month) even though he says he doesn't. WTH?! Anyway, my (retired) Dad currently visits me on a weekly basis (1 to 2 times, sometimes more) to help with house chores and to visit his grandchildren. He is ALWAYS there for me when I need assistance like taking my son to school when my husband is away, or watching the twins when I need to go to a doctor appointment. Who's going to do that for me when I am in Texas? his friends WORK just like him! that's how he knows them to begin with. Who will be there for me in the case of an emergency at 2 in the morning, God forbid, when he is away on business? He says he wants to do it because it makes more sense from a financial standpoint. But I believe a big part of it is because he has friends there. He does not have to move. He is not losing his job if he doesn't go to Texas. It would simply be a transfer. one that HE would have to request... it's not like his job is asking him to go. My marriage is under some serious strain from this. He just punched a HUGE hole in our wall because he got upset with me over not wanting to go. he says that I am close minded. even though I said to him time and time again that I'd be willing to go if we were at least withing driving distance from my family. heck.. HIS family is even out here. We have NO family whatsoever in or even near Texas. He says that he and the children are now my family. DUH. of course that's true. But I have always been and always will be extremely close to (what is now) my extended family. He'd be taking me away from my only support system. Please help! I can't talk to him anymore and he feels like he can't 'convince' me. Am I totally wrong? Maybe I am. I don't know anymore. I want to please my husband (even though he doesn't believe that) but I also don't want to be miserable and ALONE.In case it wasn't understood, I am not a stay-at-home mom. I work full time. I am returning from maternity in a couple of weeks. I would become a stay-at-home mom if we moved to Texas. (which might cause me to lose my mind with just kids to talk to. lol) more

Resolved Question: Proposition 8: Can I tell you the difference between gay marriage and domestic partnership?

Here it is: I am Italian (Rino) and my husband is American (Lloyd). Marriage. Me and my husband got married in the UK and now my husband is a European citizen like me. He can work, buy a house, do whatever he wants in Europe thanks to our marriage. We have bought a house in Italy by selling the old house of MY parents, which we turned into a bed and breakfast in Tuscany and he pays his share of taxes like every other European does. He can run our bed and breakfast company on his own and manage the paperwork without any of my help. Me: Even though we have a bed and breakfast in Italy, our home in Dallas, Texas. Here I am attending the college and trying to get a bachelor in Business because I have always been working and never had the time to graduate. But that's not the only reason why I am going to college. I can be in the US only with a student visa, because I do not qualify to start any business, I cannot have a mortgage from a US bank, I do not qualify for a SSN because international students do not qualify. If ever Lloyd will get sick, and he will need to use an American hospital, I will not be able to be with him because I do not qualify for any domestic rights, because I am not an American citizen. If I drop out of school, I will have to live separately from Lloyd if he needs to come home to the US. I have to show off at least $50,000 in cash from my bank account every 2 years just to extend my student visa and I must be at a high academic standing if I want to keep staying in Dallas with my husband. We live in a constant fear and despair because the US denies our right to live together and be socially recognized. Getting married in Massachusetts or California will not change the situation because they are state laws. I send Lloyd to manage the bed and breakfast in Italy during summer while I have to make sure to verify my passport visa every time I live the US and go to college in the summer so I can get a degree faster. The only way I can become a citizen is by having a working visa, when in truth I already have a job. I will first have to find a company that will eventually sponsor me, and then I will have to work both for this company full time for many years and plus manage the bed and breakfast with all the stuff. I had to get to Italy in several occasions during summer to help my husband in Italy. This tells you the gravity of the situation. It's an injustice, in a land that I thought it was called the land of opportunity. And you know why I am doing this? Because I love Lloyd to death and he loves me even more, to the point that we go through all this mess for the sake of having a great life together. Even though I am 26 and I think gay rights will never be completely given in a short time, I am here to say that at least Americans come back to its global importance by voting NO to the Proposition 8 in California. Stupids. If I would be able to be married with Lloyd, then I would have a green card and I could live with my husband, as straight couples are able to do in the same identical situation. more

Resolved Question: At what point can I call myself a "professional"?

The reason I ask is because I am looking to rent a room in Dallas. I am going to be staying there for an extended period of time for work, but while thumbing through the classifieds for roommates I keep seeing "must be professional or student" in the neighborhoods I am looking to stay. I do not have a full degree, but I make $75k as a "Field Technologist" (above a technician a below an engineer) in the utility industry. So can I call myself a "professional"?

Resolved Question: How to get paid to Travel?

I'm bored with staying in one place for an extended time, drives me insane...when i was younger and even now if i have the supplies i'll go walking towards the nearest major city.

Okay so my family needs to visit several awesome universities/colleges in the Great state of Texas to help my daughter decide where to go to college.

Resolved Question: What do you think of this story? real or not?

A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery. Her husband, David, held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news. That afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only 24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency Cesarean to deliver couple's new daughter, Dana Lu Blessing. At 12 inches long and weighing only one pound nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature. Still, the doctor's soft words dropped like bombs. "I don't think she's going to make it," he said, as kindly as he could. "There's only a 10-percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one" Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor described the devastating problems Dana would likely face if she survived. She would never walk, she would never talk, she would probably be blind, and she would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation, and on and on. "No! No!" was all Diana could say. She and David, with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long dreamed of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four. Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away But as those first days passed, a new agony set in for David and Diana. Because Dana's underdeveloped nervous system was essentially 'raw', the lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort, so they couldn't even cradle their tiny baby girl against their chests to offer the strength of their love. All they could do, as Dana struggled alone beneath the ultraviolet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray that God would stay close to their precious little girl. There was never a moment when Dana suddenly grew stronger. But as the weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there. At last, when Dana turned two months old. her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time. And two months later, though doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero, Dana went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted. Five years later, when Dana was a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray eyes and an unquenchable zest for life. She showed no signs whatsoever of any mental or physical impairment. Simply, she was everything a little girl can be and more. But that happy ending is far from the end of her story. One blistering afternoon in the summer of 1996 near her home in Irving, Texas, Dana was sitting in her mother's lap in the bleachers of a local ball park where her brother Dustin's baseball team was practicing. As always, Dana was chattering nonstop with her mother and several other adults sitting nearby when she suddenly fell silent. Hugging her arms across her chest, little Dana asked, "Do you smell that?" Smelling the air and detecting the approach of a thunderstorm, Diana replied, "Yes, it smells like r ain." Dana closed her eyes and again asked, "Do you smell that?" Once again, her mother replied, "Yes, I think we're about to get wet. It smells like rain." Still caught in the moment, Dana shook her head, patted her thin shoulders with her small hands and loudly announced, "No, it smells like Him. It smells like God when you lay your head on His chest." Tears blurred Diana's eyes as Dana happily hopped down to play with the other children. Before the rains came, her daughter's words confirmed what Diana and all the members of the extended Blessing family had known, at least in their hearts, all along. During those long days and nights of her first two months of her life, when her nerves were too sensitive for them to touch her, God was holding Dana on His chest and it is His loving scent that she remembers so well. more
