First, a confession: I am a HUGE fan of this show. Got hooked on the first episode of the first season, and have never missed one since. But there is a trick to the long-term enjoyment of "24" - if you try to just take it at face value, you will quickly lose the ability to take it seriously and become disaffected. I realized this along about midway through the show's second season, when Jack

Cowboys fans this morning are very predictably lashing out at their two favorite whipping boys of the last few seasons: Head Coach Wade Phillips and Quarterback Tony Romo.

In basketball, that is. Tennessee just beat Kansas. Hook 'em!!!

It’s getting to the point where I have to reconsider my opinion of Wade Phillips. I’ve already had to back off on my early season write-off of Tony Romo. After he imploded in the early stadium-opening game against the Giants, I turned to my son and declared
