A heck of a sports weekend culminated Monday night in Dallas' amazing 25-24 win over Buffalo on Monday Night Football.

Yes, for those of you who turned the game off with :20 left, I said a "win."

How amazing was this game? Dallas did not lead the game once during its 60 minutes but still won. Seriously, until the clock read 0:00, Dallas did not lead. Freaking amazing.

Alongside a game against the New York Giants a few years ago, again on Monday night, this game at Rich Stadium (do they still call it that) in Buffalo was possibly the most exciting regular-season Cowboys game ever. It had everything.

Interceptions. Thanks to Tony Romo, Dallas managed four of them in the first half and five overall. Romo was terrible, but he was clutch. Folks compare him to Brett Favre, and it's because he's a gunslinger. At the end of the game, when you need him the most, he's your man.

Special teams. Buffalo ran a kickoff back for 103 yards.

Down 24-16 after having squandered a chance to tie the game earlier, Romo led Dallas to a TD to make it 24-22 with like a half-minute left. For the two-point conversion, Romo threw it to Terrell Owens, and the defensive back gingerly swatted it from Owens' hands.

Let me say something here. Owens is a specimen, no doubt. However, he is an all-or-nothing receiver, and frankly, he's not all that great. He's not a good possession guy. He's not clutch. He's good for a few remarkable catches per game or perhaps to blow by the guy covering him.

However, I saw Owens bust butt running down some guys after several of Romo's interceptions, so I don't question the guy's heart. And this Cowboys team is full of heart. After the failed two-point conversion, Dallas got an onside kick, converted a couple of sideline routes and went for a game-winning field goal.

Dallas' Nick Folk kicked that winning field goal only to have the referees say that Bills' coach Dick Jauron called timeout. In what has to be the worst NFL rule in existence, coaches can call timeout right as the play is being snapped. It's a crappy, crappy rule, and it smacks of dirty pool.

Nevertheless, Folk came back out and hit the game winner, and like I noted before, gave Dallas its first lead of the game after time had run out.

Perhaps this blog needs to be divided between music and pop culture and sports. This is when my holy season begins, with the baseball playoffs coming to a head, the NFL getting good, college football at its peak, the NHL and NBA getting under way.

If you'll forgive my cyber-meandering until I get this right, I think I'll try to make this puppy about 50-50 sports and topics centering on the 1980s and 1970s, pop culture-wise. It makes for an odd blog, I suppose, but I'll kind of keep an eye on my stats to see what you guys are reading most and go from there.

I would be remiss though if I didn't make a couple observations about the Bills.

First, love the unis. One of the best looking uniforms in the NFL.

Second, this is a bad Buffalo team. Dallas played as bad as it could and still won. Buffalo scored two TDs on Romo interceptions and another on a kickoff, meaning they only manage three offensive points.

Trent Edwards got his shot at quarterback for Buffalo because the late, great Bill Walsh talked him up when he was a quarterback at Stanford. Look, Edwards wasn't that bad, but I have to think Walsh's sentiment was merely wishful thinking because I knew after one game that Tony Romo was the real deal.

I'm pretty sure that Oklahoma's Sam Bradford is the real deal.

But I don't know that I would even recognize Edwards if I saw him play again. Not a knock, just me saying I wasn't all that impressed. On the other hand, I was very impressed with Marshawn Lynch, and I think Jauron would have been better served using him late in the game, up by 8.

Of course, I'm very glad he didn't.
