The Scapegoat

In the first chapter of Leviticus Aaron is told to offer up two goats for the Day of Atonement. One was to be sacrificed to the Lord, and the other, the scapegoat, was to be released into the wilderness symbolically carrying the sins of the people on it.

Today the scapegoat refers to the innocent person who is blamed for the sins or the sufferings of others, even though they are probably not responsible.

Let it be known that Jessica Simpson shall forever be my scapegoat for the failings of the Dallas Cowboys. I understand that Romo and Simpson are no longer together, and Romo will not always be the Cowboy’s Quarterback, nevertheless, she is as good as a distraction from the real causes of their failures as any.

If Romo throws an interception, Jessica Simpson.

If Dallas loses a game, Jessica Simpson.

In 10 years, when some future Quarterback fumbles the ball, Jessica Simpson

In a 1000 years, after the rise and fall of the Lizard People and the NFL becomes the GRFL (Galactic Robot Football League) and the Space Cowboys lose to the Space Robot Broncos, Jessica Simpson.

She may not deserve it, but then again, she probably should not have worn this pink #9 jersey!
