There’s an entire cornucopia of reasons that made yesterday’s Giants victory over the Cowboys a euphoric moment for football fans across the nation. From the failure of Tony Romo, to the TO mental breakdown, to the simple fact that the Cowboys losing equals pure, unadulterated joy, it was a reminder that you can actually be happy on a Sunday. The day does not always have to end up with you taking out the chainsaw and spinning around with it in the middle of the street a la Leatherface at the end of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

My favorite part of the game’s result is the fact that now the NFC Championship Game will be played in Lambeau Field in Green Bay, the Mecca of the National Football League.

If the Cowboys had won, I’d be disgusted just thinking about another game in the rathole that is Texas Stadium. The name alone causes me to froth at the mouth and break out in hives. Texas Stadium? I know Texans tend to have the circulation to their brains cut off by those ridiculous bolo ties and umpteen-gallon hats, but it’s still a mockery that the franchise is allowed to call their home a stadium.

Just imagine your friend gets a new car. He tells you it’s a convertable and your psyched to go cruising in the summer with your hair blowing in the wind. You tell him to come over and pick you up. He shows up in a 2000 Maxima with a sunroof and you’re wondering where the new whip is. This is it, he tells you. My convertable.

Nonsensical, right?

Well, Dallas, that’s you. You’re the friend. So cut the fucking charade already. Man up and admit your “Stadium” is just a fucking dome with a sunroof.

Fucking Jerry Jones. What kind of shit is that? Who greenlit this monstrosity in the first place? Only a Texan — or maybe a Carpathian — would pull a move like that.

But, once again, we have proof that there is a God. Just like every other non-Dallas fan, I’m geared up to get to see this Giants-Pack matchup live from Lambeau this weekend. Nothing beats NFL football outside in January, where it was always meant to be played.
