Say it ain't so, T.O.

Let’s review: The Dallas Cowboys are the most underachieving team in the NFL.

They were picked to go the Super Bowl, and they didn’t even go to a single playoff game. At least they could have survived into the post-season to lose their first game, as they have in recent years.

Worse for them this year, an uber-achieving team, the Arizona Cardinals, goes in their place.

After the season staggered to an end, owner Jerry Jones and coach Wade Phillips vowed “changes,” details to be announced later. But both hinted they would get back to the basics, focus on responsibility and get more performance out of their highly paid prima donnas.

Is mega-problem Terrell Owens on board with this new approach?

Not exactly. T.O. announced plans to star in his own reality show on VH1 this summer.

His “best friends and publicists — Monique Jackson and Kita Williams — will help him re-examine his personal life. The two will work as ‘matchmakers and therapists’.”

… Yup, I’d say that’s just what the ’Boys need to help them get back on track.

My early prediction for next year’s record: Another 9-7 season, another season of watching the playoffs from the living room couch.

Professional football is right up there with golf and a ouija board for excitement and relevance.
