Annnnd let's end it with an ugly fight.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

And well they should, that was the stupidest call I've seen in ages .... and I'm a Cowboys fan. Lynch and Wilson in the backfield from the one? I'll run an option sweep and let you criticize my college playcalling while I'm sizing my ring.

You can stack the line all you want, as long Lynch doesn't run into four guys at once, there's a good chance he's going to plow through to the endzone.

No shit. Seriously? Seriously?
You know, if they stop Lynch up the middle from the one on three downs, I can live with that. Good game, sir. But not this. This is something fucking else.

The receiver who caught that ball handed the Seahawks the game, and what do they do? Wow, that horrible call was something you see in highschool. What the fuck was that?

Yea but they had time for a couple tries. I formation, two running backs, fake a handoff, everyone goes for the RB you run it in on a sweep as QB. Or you simply do a fake and put the ball over the top yourself. But that? That was a horrible play call.
Their running back was running over everyone.

That part was unnecessary. I hate that shit.

Dude, I feel you, I've watched Tony Romo make stupid decisions for years now ... I know this feeling.

I didn't see the game (long story), but I kept track of its progress online. How much time was left when they threw on second and goal? It's hard to believe the call. If there was time, run the damn ball each play. Make them stop you.

About half-a-minute, and they had I think two timeouts.
