Ho hmm: What could Santa give the Dallas Cowboys?
December 17
Dallas Morning News Columnist Kevin Sherrington
"Besides the customary pleas for a doll and a pink backpack and a stuffed giraffe, our youngest daughter's letter to Santa included a request for a DNA kit.
As Olivia's biological father, and the sap who took her on all those Indian Princess camp-outs, I must confess it was a little unsettling. Next thing you know, she'll make me take an IQ test.
Anyway, it got me thinking about the crazy things kids ask for these days.
Consider the following requests on behalf of the Cowboys, who are probably too busy counting doubloons to make out their own lists:
For Jerry Jones: What do you give a millionaire who's getting a new stadium and was just named by Sports Business Journal as the second-most influential person in sports, ahead of his commissioner?
How about a mulligan for the next time, accidentally or not, he questions the toughness of a player nicknamed "The Barbarian"?
For Wade Phillips: He may have already gotten what he wanted when he took over the defensive play-calling from Brian Stewart. Let's see. Maybe a rear-view mirror, so he doesn't have to keep looking over his shoulder for Jason Garrett? A moratorium on the Ticket's hilarious impersonations? Better headgear for cold days on the sideline? A brand new set of media?
For DeMarcus Ware: Four sacks to break Michael Strahan's NFL record of 22.5. Or eight, to beat the 26 claimed by Cincinnati's Coy Bacon in 1976, before sacks were an official statistic. Also, more recognition for Ware's work against the run. If he's not the NFL's best defensive player, Santa doesn't know reindeer."
