After a Week 8 in which Brad Johnson threw for a measly 122 yards and the Cowboys gained only 172 in all, their fewest ever in a victory, internal concerns are emerging at Valley Ranch about whether the NFL's oldest active quarterback can effectively incorporate Terrell Owens and Dallas' other receivers in the downfield passing game.

A high-ranking team source said the Cowboys will "probably" have Johnson, the backup to injured Tony Romo, start against the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants on Sunday.

"An open letter to the Dallas Cowboys from Daunte Culpepper. Dear Jerry, I can still play, and as a fellow former Viking, I can attest that I am better than Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger. I promise not to hint at any anti-pro-non-racist tendencies from any Cowboy officials if you choose to sign me. I am my own agent so you can take advantage of me in contract negotiations. Thank you for you consideration. Love, Daunte"

Brooks Bollinger is going to come in and lead the Cowboys on a three game winning streak. Viking fans will bemoan losing ole Brooks. It's just how it works.
