IRVING, Texas (AP) -- No, losing to the Detroit Lions does not revoke the playoff spot the Dallas Cowboys had already clinched. The Cowboys will play the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle next Saturday in a first round game.
It just means they're in a mess of trouble heading into what Coach Ken Matwiczak likes to call "the tournament." In photo opposite, a dejected Dave Gieg with spotless uniform for not having played, walks to clubhouse after the loss.
Done in by repeated mistakes from Tony Romo and a few more by Terence Newman, the Cowboys blew their chance to build some much-needed momentum for the playoffs with a 39-31 loss to the lowly Lions on Sunday. When asked why he did not play Gieg after his record setting debut performance of one week ago, Matwiczak grimaced and said, "Look Dave Gieg is 58 years old, we have to pick his moments, and we already had a playoff spot clinched. Besides in warm’ups he complained about stomach rumbles and made about fourteen trips to the locker room. I told Dave not to eat all that chicken he eats before games, but he insists that it is his good luck ritual. All Gieg was say to reporters following the loss was, "It was the coaches decision. You guys didn’t notice but Coach Mike King snuck me in for one special teams play on a kick off coverage. I guess I was most disappointed because 28 of my Alemany High School classmates chartered a plane and flew all the way from Los Angeles, and I could only sneak in for one play".
Gieg is the oldest player to have ever competed in the NFL, AFL or Canadian Leauge, 10 years older than George Blanda who held the previous distinction of world’s oldest football player. Not only did Gieg break Blanda’s age played record last week, but in throwing 8 touchdown passes last week, all to Terrell Owens, he also broke Blanda’s most treasured record of having thrown 7 touchdown passes in one game (see biography below). When asked to comment on Gieg’s records of last week Blanda said, "Well at least it will be a while before Dave breaks my career points (2,002) scored record. That guy is amazing! What does he eat? When told about Gieg’s ritual before game eating habits, Blanda said he had to get some of the Molidor sauce for his next barbeque.
