  1. Is anyone from Dallas going to Pluckers on Beltline next Thursday to watch the draft? I guess the Ticket radio guys will be there (prefer the Fan). Wasn't sure with the new board where this question should go. Just excited to watch the draft somewhere. Wonder if Courtland Sutton will be their second round pick. 

  2. I think that if Dez has been a true team player like Witten and not a “show ME the money guy” he would still be around. I think it is a positive move for the locker room that is trying to change the culture. Showing up late or not at all to meetings isn’t going to fly. Throwing fits bc balls weren’t thrown your way and creating huge distractions isn’t going to fly when you are no longer elite. Dez had elite talent. Had being the key word. And the diva thing that certain players have is not being tolerated. I’d rather have blue chip players who grind it out and work hard then a couple of stars who flash elite talent but who are poor teammates.

     

    sorry for rambling. Go Cowboys!

    I think this in some (not all) says addresses how the coaches could improve certain things.

    Number 1 just kills me bc duh?

    Play the players who play the best

    The best sports franchises don’t anoint players with playing time. Instead, every player competes to earn their role on the team. While the Cowboys talk a good game in this area their actions simply don’t support their message. Let’s look at several examples where the Cowboys stubbornly stuck with a preferred player who had clearly been outperformed by another player.

  4. I would imagine having a real comprehensive way to handle mental illness would be a good start. Then we could actually have a real discussion with organizations like the ACLU about what what warrants a 5150 hold. I mean with Nick Cruz...there were multiple people calling police even the TH I saying this guy is going to kill someone. With vegan cross fit YouTube vendetta lady her own parents felt that at 38 she was a threat to the YouTube company. Both slip thru the cracks and many dead or seriously wounded. Cops called and investigate and say nothing they could do beyond a wellness check. ✔ accomplished. And people are dead or wounded. 

    This might Have Been Prevented. Damn. 

  5. It should be discussed that no matter how an individual feels they are slighted there is never a justification for murder. At the end of the day, that's what the issue is. I don't know why this common sense fact can't be stated over and over. We all know people with challenges. But this idea that if we know the motive of the killer\ attempted murderer that somehow it will explain why and justify their response is ludicrous. Killing someone or attempting to kill someone else unless done in self defense is not justified. 

    I wonder how much this latest crackpot put her family thru over the years. Quite a bit i would imagine.

    There's something about the Cowboys, maybe it's coaching, but the lack of development seems far too frequent. We see a number of players in and out that show some real promise in their rookie season, but never take another step, even regress. It has become far too common.

    I just don't see anything changing without a real HC. Doing the smart thing, like hiring a real GM who will hire a real HC is smart shit that the fecals did...and hey it got them a SB but it's shit Jerry won't do bc he can't get 100% of the credit that way

    me: hey, did you hear there was a shooting at youtube hq?

    co-worker: yes, and did you hear that it was a woman?!

    me: ohhhh, so that's why no one died.

     

    Maybe the scarf on her head was a blindfold?

    Stay away from the fuckboys, grab a pint of ice cream and a chick flick with the gals. On to the next man...

    That's a lot of steps for certain millennial types though. Although 🍦
