 In the first Texas Throwdown, XFL style, Dallas survived four turnovers and a knee injury to starting quarterback Landry Jones in its rivalry game against Houston.

Somehow, even with all the self-inflicted mistakes, the Renegades still were within a couple of yards of tying the game late against the Roughnecks, the best team in the XFL.

But a fifth major miscue, this time on a bobbled screen pass with under 2 minutes to play, led to the Renegades’ demise.

Houston quarterback P.J. Walker, the early favorite for league MVP, calmly faced down a constant rush and converted two third downs on the final series to preserve the Roughnecks’ 27-20 victory and stretch their record to 4-0.

A bobbled lob of a pass less than 10 yards long?  Kind of a barometer of the quality of the play, I'd say.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
