Barksdale, Stanfield… Jones? “The Wire,” Cowboys Style

Let’s start at the top. Jerry and Avon are similar in a ton of ways. First off, they are both straight gangsters in their own right. Jerry bought the team and then immediately fired the only coach the Cowboys had ever known in Tom Landry. Landry is a legend and a personal hero of mine, but you have to admit that takes balls.

Cowboys Headlines - Barksdale, Stanfield...Jones? "The Wire," Cowboys Style 12The perfect tag teams.

Like McNulty, Romo has his flaws, but Witten will still ride for him no matter the circumstance, just like Bunk will always have Jimmy’s back.

Even when Jimmy has his “brilliant” serial killer play in Season 5, Bunk refuses to turn him in, regardless of how much the plan irks him. They will always be partners, and will always be brothers.

Both Romo and Witten are darn good at what they do, at times they even seem like the best. Jimmy and Bunk are the same exact way.

Romo and Witten purely love football the same way Jimmy and Bunk love real police work, and that’s what makes them the perfect combination.

  1. I love this so much. Great work, Kevin! A few more that I'd throw in there… Jason Garrett = Cedric Daniels (Straight-laced leaders who want to do things the right way.) Cole Beasley = Kima Greggs (Overcomes the physical odds to hang with the big boys.) Dan Bailey = Prop Joe (Never gets rattled.) Scandrick/Carr/Claiborne = Herc/Carver/Prezbo (Some major liability issues.) Some non-Cowboys, too…. Chip Kelly = Bunny Colvin (Disgraced after a failed experiment.) Eli Manning = Dukie (self-explanatory) Roger Goodell = Clay Davs (Everything that comes out of their mouth is "Sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiit.")
