What Might Have Been Part II: Stars Align for Dallas

To begin the 2010 NFL season Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones proclaimed his team would win the Super Bowl.
Even with the team's loaded roster, the statement was bold, brash and, well, downright foolish.
Tony Romo has never won a playoff game. Last season he managed just one win in six games before going down for the remainder with a broken collar bone.
If the Super Bowl was a target, Dallas missed its mark like the villains shooting at the hero of an action movie.
Where the Cowboys failed, two other local teams picked up the slack.
The Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA Championship. Thursday night, the Rangers finished the season atop the Major's for the first time in their 50 year history.
Even the Dallas Stars, albeit early in the season, boast the Pacific Division's best record, at 7-3.
Mr. Jones wasn't right about his Cowboys, but boy is Dallas the paradise right now of the sporting world.
