Feeling Good About Cowboys Cave-in
by Kevin Burton Eureka! I found the magic formula and Page 7 readers were there to see it. Apparently all it takes to make the Dallas Cowboys implode completely is for me to praise them in public as I did last week (“Cowboys Kool-Aid, Bottoms Up?,” Nov. 5). The most overhyped team …
