Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett has lived long under Jerry Jones - but when will he prosper?

As a Cowboys head coach under owner Jerry Jones, Jason Garrett has lived long. He has not prospered.

It is along those lines that I think it would be great if Garrett came out for his next news conference wearing Spock ears but not simply to step out of character or to pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. There's more to it than homage.

I have for some time felt that Garrett and Spock, the half-Vulcan, half-human science officer on the Starship Enterprise shared common traits, even if Spock was a better quote.
