  1. Eh..... Friends don't let friends drink the Bayless. That's a Skip rumor and it's never really been verified by anyone else. And it wasn't another HC, it was Al Davis, who in this scenario was possibly trading FOR Irvin. I'm not sure you can trust the source and regardless, it sounds like this was stream of consciousness type conversation, not a real, serious conversation to trade Irvin anywhere. Jimmy wasn't always leaving or at least it's not commonly sourced this way. Can you cite you're narrative? Jimmy is a mercurial personality who always judges his situation around if he was having fun or if he was getting bored or complacent or unhappy. Obviously, the relationship with Jerrah was unsustainable and he many times lashed out or responded poorly to Jerrah always stepping on his toes or trying to bully him around his contract. But Jimmy has spoken many times about his personality and how he doesn't look too far in the future but asks himself about his quality of life in the now (below). The Jacksonville thing was a Mike Fisher story, IIRC. It was about how Jacksonville was interested in hiring Norv Turner for their first HC and the owner approached Jimmy to get his thoughts. Jimmy, in one of his frenzies about Jerrah not respecting him, tells the Jacksonville owner, he should hire Jimmy and Jimmy would try and take most of his staff. The Jax owner, speaking with Jimmy with Jerrah's understanding, didn't like the conversation and never really pursues it. Here's the thing... Jimmy was under his infamous 10 year contract at the time. He hadn't negotiated down it was a bone of contention for the two. Jimmy screaming he'd take his talents elsewhere when Jerrah got in his way and Jerrah always reminding he was under contract and he wasn't coaching anywhere else. In other words, it's a fun and juicy story, but there's no teeth. Jimmy was under contract and Jerry wasn't going to let him out unless...... And remember, it's heavily rumored that Jimmy offered Jerrah 1 more year to go for the 3 peat and Jerrah, getting off cheap in the deal decided it time to go on a 3 decade journey of ineptitude to show real football people that he definitely wasn't one of them.
  2. Eh, that's not at all what that means.... It's exceedingly difficult to prove someone is faking a bad back. The MRI just says it's nothing structural they can see but inflammation and soreness can be extremely standard and not seen on a MRI. See Jalen Ramsey 2019, so it's extremely doubtful, they'll make him play if he really wants to feign injury. Now, he'll have to wear that brand or crown for his career, but most other organizations won't give a shit with someone as good as Micah. The quit squad is walking off or refusing to go into a game for no reason, so that's not really a viable option either. Jerrah can franchise him in 26 and maybe 27, but that would be incredibly stupid and economic catastrophe. Holdouts are always about how much of a disruption does the player want to be and how personal has it gotten between the sides. Again, what kind of organization wants this type of distraction. Has there ever been a good team in the modern salary cap era (so can't say Emmitt) have an in-season hold out on the team and then won a championship that year? I can't think of any. It's just another mismanaged situation which doesn't have to be this hard. Jerrah thinks he's smarter than everyone else and this is about his ego, his feelings, and his fear. This could have been and should have been solved a long time ago.
  3. Not sure inflationary costs could explain that level of increase, even as the country is descending into a recession. Rates are going to come down so the cost of capital would come down as well. I'm just wondering if there is some time period cost like a RE option roll, which is priced in, is the driver. Seems like a weird, but very specific amount.
  4. Saw this last night with the wife and we both enjoyed it. She loved it. Like Sinners, I think the hype probably over estimates the quality of the film, but both are good watches and entertaining. The performances are all extremely good, especially an old Amy Madigan, Alden E and Julia Garner, who is the youngest, most delicate person you can see as an old person ever. Fun time at the movies though.
  5. A picture is worth a thousand words..... Jaydon rolled his ankle again. This is some worst case speculation...... Blue says he feels fine. We'll see. This would be big news if he makes the active roster. It would mean they think he can probably come back in the first month.
  6. Why would delaying 6 months cost 80-100m more? Where did she get this metric from? What part of the project would jump in cost for so little a time period?
  7. I'm pro-Micah, but I find this stuff silly.... Pretty much..... I've always sort of seen this comparison.
  8. Pathetic..... Enormously stupid. Shows how badly Jerry has been left behind. He's caught in the 90's. So I reached out to someone who is in the Jones' circle. From some of the stories, the entire Jones clan lives in some sort of weird bubble where reality doesn't exist. All of them! Jerrah, the kids, the grandkids, etc. They all think Jerrah is way more important than he is and that they somehow control the NFL with their wants and desires. It was described as patently weird, but they are convinced of this alternative reality where they are respected and loved..... Basically, the Jones' are their own cult.
  9. The great majority of them..... Instead of quoting Air yard stats and trying to dill down, here's an excerpt of ESPN looking at the subject. They don't define it exactly like you but you get the gist....
  10. If Ehlinger gets cut, Dallas needs to scoop him up that day. No joke, he'd be the 2nd best QB on our roster.
  11. This may save Tolbert's spot on the team, but it probably shouldn't..... That pick we gave up for Mingo is looking like a total waste. Another fine decision by the Jones boys.
  12. Look guys.... Jerrah realizes he needs to do better. He knows! Does he fucking care? Nah, as long as folks keep showing up at the stadium and enriching him or buying Cowboys gear and enriching him or not challenging him in the media or in public and keep enriching him. He doesn't give a shit, because this is a soap opera to him, this is performative and the Cowboys fans are the saps which he does magic tricks for and makes his coin.... Around and around we go. The defense equaled the offensive points output that the offense did. Not sure that's good since the defense gave up 400 yards of offense and 31 points. Look at this asshole....
  13. The current secondary on this team may be the worst in the league. Hard to say, because I haven't scrutinized all of them, but I guess a better comment is, its hard to imagine there's a worse secondary in the game. It's fucking terrible right now. It's hoping for a miracle comeback by Diggs. That's...... unbelievable.
  14. I would cut Jalen Tolbert. For reals. I'd roll with Flourney and the kid who has flashed Traeshon Holden along with Jalen Brooks, who is a ST guy. This feels like Miles Sanders is being used heavily to see if he can earn a roster spot. It's been okay thus far (mostly not his fault), but nothing which has heads turning.
  15. Welp, the defense still can't stop the run or cover anyone so at least we're consistent. Without Micah, they're struggling with a consistent pass rush although James Houston looks pretty damn good. He should win a roster spot. Offensively? Still can't do shit without the starters except lose yardage. Milton looks good..... every 5th play. The other 4 he's terrible. Schotty's early grade is bad. Team doesn't look prepared to compete and his in game coaching is bleh.
  16. This TD was pretty and sort of the best of QE. Patient, understands the routes and leverage, waits for the DB to overrun the route and boom!
  17. But they may get closer.... Stephen is a pussy and will probably quit when the mob comes for him. Also, it's professional malpractice. Jerry is obviously in cognitive decline. He's out there just saying shit like your Grandad used to when he yelled at the TV, except Jerry has a franchise to fuck up. He's dumb when it comes to football management and now he's suffering dementia.
  18. This was as bad as the stat line looks. He was throwing into first read coverage, he was late, he looked like the game was just too fast for him. Now, he's a rookie and he'll get more reps, so it can't be shocking to anyone, but I'm sure we all hoped for better. I'm watching the Louisville, Shough, right now and he doesn't look particularly good, but he's having a better game than Quinn.... by a lot. Dart had a much better debut. Fuck, Joe Milton looked better and he was terrible. Let's hope he has a better game next week. May end up on the PS if he's not much better next week. Edit: Final Stats: That fumble is baaaaddd.....
  19. We're going to probably regret not taking Shadeur as a backup..... Milton just doesn't have it between the ears. Been his rep since his freshman year.
  20. WTF, I thought Milton could chuck it 80 yards with ease? He just underthrew Mingo by 10 yards.
  21. LOL....... the OL is a bunch of dudes who probably won't make the roster. the OT's are jags. is it illegal to have more than 2 functioning OT's? lol.... "Schotty" is going to be killed in the national press this week, as he should, for a pre-season game. Jerrah needs to hear a lot more boos and needs to see folks not show up for the pre-season game.
  22. Tolbert..... still a jag. Probably gonna be cut. Screen to a midget, who shouldn't be on a roster, but we have to reward his Dad..... stupid. I've seen enough.... Bring back Rush. LBs.... suck. No pass rush. Only first quarter of the pre-season, but this is as bad a performance as I can remember, even in context. Just a fucking embarrassment.
  23. Marquise Bell..... still a jag. Booth.... still sucks. Defense..... still sucks. But by all means, let's not pay the only stud defender we have. Let's trade him so we overpay more jags in free agency. SMH.
