Well, Sunday was a recovery day after an all-day drench-fest at the Renassaince Festival. We had a great time though and I will put up some pics when I get a chance. Anyway, sitting around after the Cowboys lost (thanks Quincy) we watched the Joe Schmo marathon for a few episodes on SpikeTV. The former TNN changed its name once again - this time going for the "TV for Men" image.

Here is the synopsis of the Joe Schmo Show:

"Meet Matt Gould (a.k.a. Joe Schmo). Among the freaks and crazies competing in Joe Schmo’s staged reality show Lap of Luxury, Matt is the only, genuine player. The rest are fakes! A $100,000 grand prize is up for grabs. But can Matt win the swag without it costing him his mind?"

Swag? Do the folks at Spike TV even know what that is? Apparently not. (Stolen Without A Gun.)

In any event, at first the show is pretty hilarious when they cut back to the other guests at the mansion as they plan what outrageous situations they are going to put our unsuspecting Truman Show copycat. I have a theory though that I want to put out before the final 'reveal' this Tuesday night.

My theory is that either Joe Schmo (Matt) is in on the whole gag with the producers and it is in fact a big joke on the other actors who think Schmo is the dupe... OR perhaps everyone is in on the thing together and the audience will be made to be the dupe as we all fall for this preposterous notion that Schmo's kind-heartedness and emotional swings are real. Bottom line is that I think that Schmo is in on the whole gig.... I will tune in Tuesday to seee, so I guess the whole thing worked on me - haha.

Oh yeah, the game Sunday doesn't warrant much column space at all as I thought our defense did a good job, but our offense did not deliver. I see that Quincy Carter was exposed for the Tuna-snow-job that he is... even Parcells couldn't hide the fact that he was outclassed, outperformed and outtalented by the Buccaneers Sunday. Here is Quincy's rating...

RATING 3 dunce caps
mostly stupid all day
