NEVER ON SUNDAY

Remember the Blue Law?

It was a Texas statue of some years back which prohibited businesses from being open on Sunday.

We need to revive that law -- if for no other reason than to apply it to the Dallas Cowboys. If ever a business needed to be prohibited from doing business on Sunday it is the Cowboys.

Cincinnati 26, Dallas 3 -- the final score board.

It is sad to see a football coach like Bill Parcel have to admit "we play stupid football."

It's true but it is still sad to hear him have to admit it.

Surely this will convince fans once and for all that Jerry Jones is incapable and inept at building and running a professional football franchise.

"We're a better team than this," one unidentified Cowboy said after yesterday's game.

No, they are not. Simply because Jerry Jones and Son do not have the foggiest idea of what it takes to build a football team.

It has to be evident now to everyone -- beyond any doubt -- that the success the Cowboys enjoyed during the early years was solely because of the talent of former head coach Jimmy Johnson.

Johnson knew how to build a football team -- and he knew what to do with it when it was built.

But after five years of dealing with Jones and Son he turned tail and ran -- proving he was a pretty smart guy afterall.

Bill Parcel, in his own right, is a good football coach.

Unfortunately good football coaches cannot function under the Jones regime.

Three things should happen now.

1. The Cowboys are definitely headed to a new stadium in Arlington (Tarrant County). Dallas fans need to seek a federal court injunction that will prohibit them from ever returning to Dallas County, then buy Laura Miller a new car in appreciation for her running the team off in the first place.

2. Fans in Arlington need to investigate the possibility of a recall election on the Nov. 2 referendum where they approved millions for a new stadium for this inept team.

3. Jerry Jones should investigate the possibility of sending Parcel to the University of Texas in exchange for Mack Brown. This should provide the Cowboys with new and more creative ways to lose.
