Dallas Cowboys: A nice, quiet final five weeks. Oh wait, this is the Cowboys!

How bout them Cowboys! What are they getting this year for Christmas? I mean, they’ve been exceptionally naughty this year, as Jerry Jones can’t stay out of the news. At 5-6 with a negative point differential, you have become exceptionally average this year when you can’t Feed Zeke.

So what you’re getting this year Cowboys is pretty simple. You’re going 3-2 the rest of the way while approaching a 0-point differential. You will only play 1:00 p.m. ET kickoffs with the worst announcing tandem FOX can offer. Nobody will see your games like the Los Angeles Dodgers.

For your own sake, you’re going on holiday, off the grid or in exile. It’s your choice how you want to define it, but we’re not going to talk about you because nobody aspires to be completely average. Essentially, we’re grounding you. No tv, dang vidya games, SnapChats or whatever.

You’re just going to play those 1:00 p.m. ET games every week, do your chores and be quiet until January. I mean, we could give you coal, but that’s kind of like oil and that just sounds like money to owner Jerry Jones. Like Mugatu, you’re getting nothing, NOTHING. Relax and don’t do anything stupid. You might grow from this six-week hiatus from the national spotlight. Who knows?
