  1. Apparently the Cowboys got their asses kicked vs the Rams in a controlled scrimmage today. Only thing which sort of worked was the passing game, but reportedly the Cowboys were getting blown off the LOS both ways.... Always a good look for your team to get dominated in it's first time against live competition for a first year coach. Team still has a IDL problem and OT problem. Also, Jerrah doesn't want anyone to worry about Micah's contract..... but then again isn't confident he's going to play week 1 and acts like he has no say in the matter. Dude just needs to go to that whisky joint in the sky.
  2. Some will depend on how the Spurs are doing and if those guys fulfill their potential but paying 3 guys the max with Harper's extension coming will be very difficult. Also, I expect Fox's stats to drop on the Spurs (hope ast % increases), they did last year and with less minutes, he needs to become a more efficient and effective player. He has 4 years to sort of master this. He could start with becoming a better 3 point shooter. He should get great looks. Fills out the roster.....
  3. Agreed. This was a promise we made and made good on. The issue is when you want to get into 2nd contracts with Wemby and Castle. We may need to find a buyer for Fox in 3 years, which is fine..... as long as you can find a buyer and get something credible back.
  4. This is the most likely outcome...... I hope without the injury, but Jerrah and Stephen are sensitive to monetary outcomes. If folks stay home the first few home games, then they'll cave. They'll probably do it before then, but all this silly drama and angst and having a contentious working relationship with your best employees, is pretty stupid. This for all the dopes who think Micah sucks or doesn't play hard or whatever itch is up your ass.... If you think you're going to get better in the trade market, please look at the Cowboys last 10 trades. If you think he hasn't earned a new contract worth being the top non-QB player in the league, you're ignorant and should probably just read more or go educate yourself about the game.
  5. Overshown has done this too...... Players now taking Micah's side and tired of the stupidity. Jerry's greatest ability is to make the Cowboys the laughing stock of the league...... Bravo, Dumbass Jones.
  6. This was a really good and fascinating look at a dude with a whole mess of demons. It's so funny because he holds himself out as a "regular guy", because of his humble beginnings, and because of the type of music he's generally known for that most think he had an easy ride and all-american story, but that dude has some deep, deep traumatic issues. Out of his inability to communicate except through song, it makes his musical talent singularly brilliant and genius. I know many don't like his catalog, but dude could play the piano and write a song with a great melody.... and really from ear alone. A huge talent, who doesn't have too much longer I fear.
  7. RIP to the Dark Prince...... Quite an original and for all of his antics, his love for music and metal music was so pure....
  8. My response was more pithy in it's approach, but I would disagree with you. While there's only about 10 teams who are real contenders this year, I would say that within 5-6 years (extension tenure) there could be at least 20 teams which may have years of being real challengers, not necessarily winners but actually have a realistic shot. The Cowboys haven't been a real championship contender in 30 years and won't be until Jerry is dead. But all of that said, he just wants what he's earned within the construct of the NFL and NFLPA's compensation structure. Pay the man his money and let's get on with things. That's all he wants.
  9. To actually win a championship? But, he does have to play his role..... He was hurt last year but his stats were still as dominating as ever with pressure rate, double team frequency, double team effectiveness, efficiency of pass rush, etc, etc, so..... yea, he's still a top 2, maybe 3 pass rusher in the NFL. He's the best player on the team.... trading the best player on the team means you need to be in a total rebuild. We're not doing this.... yet. Pay the man and stop being the biggest dumbfucks in the NFL.
  10. I think we may need to start him there with Hoffman next to him and then work Guyton in. This was.a big TC for Guyton. Dude needs every rep he could get. Reportedly, he looked much better this year, but who knows. OT, CB and Safety are probably are weakest positions. DT, RB, and LB next. Cowboys have had a few injuries.... Brevynn Spann Ford has an ankle that should keep him out 2-3 weeks. He was trying to cement the 2nd TE spot. Thank goodness, we have a 27 year old, 2nd round drafted TE to pickup on those depth pieces.
  11. And..... Micah basically shuts it down. Rehab only and will be at meetings and such. I actually respect him for it and it highlights how backwards the Jones' are with their roster retention and salary cap management. It's tough to really challenge for a championship when you have bottom 5 management and ownership. They just are so behind everyone else, it's punishing the fanbase.
  12. In her defense, most posters in this thread are basketball dopes, particularly regarding the women's game. I put myself in that group, while I try to educate myself, I don't follow the sport that intensely. First, it was a unbelievably stupid comment, but apparently it didn't have the biting avarice which most are assuming. It was a really bad joke about some of the Fever girls, of course with Clark, having partied pretty hard the night before and therefore were hung over and not at the meeting. That said, why say anything? Plum is a good, if inefficient, player but she's also known be the antithesis of mensa. A silly player telling a stupid joke which destroys the broader reason and message they were intending. It was another misstep and self inflicted mistake. I don't think there was much (maybe a little) biting nastiness to the comment, just an unbelievably stupid moment by a tone deaf player, who probably needs to rethink her tack or just stick to the script....
  13. Special Sunday Hook Em'!!! RB train continues to roll....
  14. And for those who were vexed with Wesley being traded away, here's your 2nd chance!!! Wizards, a team devoid of good players, didn't even give him a real look. Interesting. Gotta be able to shoot these days.
  15. Very fair. I still stand behind my assessment of the curiousness of the search to solve this position. It's been weird but hopefully Blue and Mafah can make a big difference. And here we go..... TC has begun.
  16. This isn't how you do it...... The Cowboys RB strategy has been strange, to say the least. Not spending 3m on Dowdle, waiting until the 5th to pick a COP, not having anyone of consequence in UFA. We all know, RB is probably the easiest position to find someone off the garbage pile, but they seem to making this a personal challenge.
  17. Shooting matters if you can't do it.... As you stated, you get pretty open looks in summer league unless you're creating bad shots (which a lot of guards and wings do by forcing it). Jones-Garcia can play in the league..... maybe as nothing more than a Patty Mills or Jaren Jackson off the bench, but his defense does need to get better. Harper has to find a jump shot, but his ability to penetrate will carry him next year like Castle. Gotta get much better shooting in the first 3-4 years. It either happens or it won't usually. Bryant has a ton of work to do. He's 3-24 on FGs in Vegas. 1-12 from 3. In today's NBA, you have to be able to hit 3's if you have almost no offensive game and rely on defense. Who's the last guy who was OTB defense only? Tony Allen? That was almost 10 years ago since his prime. I'm with you on Minix but he does understand the game, has good instincts, but he's a rotten athlete and will he shoot well enough to ever make any impact, because that's his ticket. 8-16 from 3 in Vegas and he's rebounded pretty well too, but he doesn't do much with the ball.... just needs to be able to knock down open looks. Not a great passer.... as a wing, not a great look. rest of the team are jags...
  18. I'm pretty sure she was Kat Grant, a gossip columnist for the paper and often written as a rival or competitor for Clark's affections for Lois. One of the characters I referenced given no development, not even anything to do other than be basically an extra. Beck Bennett's Steve Lombard, the guy freaking out in the ship is the same. No real reason to be in the film other than a little fan service to the hardcores but given nothing to do nor anything teasing an actual personality. It's like the film cut 15 minutes of banter at the Daily Planet. The movie wastes Perry White too....
  19. Feels a bit like we've had him our back pocket and we asked him to pull the trigger to get some momentum back, but i could be totally wrong.
  20. Oh.... and I'll say this. Don't waste your time on the after-credit scenes. They suck. You can get them on twitter and save yourself 10 minutes.
  21. I love the guy..... I wanted the Spurs to trade back in the first and take him. He can be a really nice big off the bench and eventually develop into a really nice starter. His skillset at his size is very rare, even if his athleticism is only average.
