    That's true.  But Republicans were enraged when Obama didn't attend Nancy Reagan's.

    Of course they were, because...... Obama!!!

    Obama actually was here in Austin, giving the keynote speech for SXSW.  Frankly, Trump would have been a huge distraction if he attended and the Bush's don't like him anyway.  It's better he stayed away.

    Some amazing stats this decade: 

    2010- All 8 WC playoff teams won at least 50 games

    2011: WC 8 seed had 46 wins, EC 5 seed had 44 wins

    2012: 8 seed in West had a 46-36 record. 8 seed in East was 37-45

    2013 - 5 seed Memphis would have been 2 seed in East

    2014 playoffs - 7 teams in the WC with 50+ wins. The 8 seed was Dallas with a 49-33 record, which would have been good enough to be the # 3 seed in the East

    2015 playoffs - 7 teams in the WC with 50+ wins. The 6 seed was SA with 55 wins, which would have been the #2 seed in the EC. 

    2017 playoffs - the 5 seed Utah Jazz had the same record as Lebron's 2 seed Cavs

    The East has sucked for more than two decades.  Simply no depth, it's why folks are pushing for top 16 teams regardless of conference.  If Lebron played in the West, he almost certainly has less Finals appearances and may have less rings.  Not his fault, so I'm not blaming him, it's simply an observation.

    Nancy is already legal, all she needs is to eat a sammich every once in a while.

    Much more than one..... And production started in 2015.  She's always been legal.  21 these days, but she looks like she has a eating disorder.

    I enjoyed season 2 much more than season 1, FWIW.

    Season 1 takes awhile to find it's stride....

    Partially correct. The Cowboys have been abysmal at gathering and developing TE talent. They actually used Bennett quite a bit until they got tired of him dropping catch after catch and missing block after block, when he was at least supposed to be a great blocker. He wasn't. He admitted himself he didn't learn the game until after he left the Cowboys. Cowboys TE acquisitions have been a parade of scrubs over the last decade.

    I guess it depends on what one defines as using or leveraging an asset.  Bennett's best year with Dallas he received 47 targets and caught 33 balls for 260 yards and 0 TDs.  That was his big season.  He learned the intricacies of the game just fine here, he simply bristled under the coaching mechanisms.  He was a terrible pick because he was young coming out and had well documented maturity issues.  He didn't take the game seriously nor respect it.  It took plays off.  He dropped balls.  He ran sloppy routes.  But he also learned how to practice, learned positioning and how to read defense here in Dallas.  He simply wasn't mature enough to be productive.  Let's face it, he was a fucking Jerry pick through and through.  Jerry's never understood or maybe even cared about how to build culture and a team.  It's why he's been a failure since Jimmy left.  Regardless, Marty B learned enough and was being taught the game but there's not enough room for an immature kid who only cared about scoring TDs and being on the field to really blossom.  Then again, some dudes are just assholes..... He was accused for quitting on Green Bay last offseason and reportedly most of the team hated him, so he was waived....

    That's the whole point. Why wait until he retires? He wants to play till he's 40. I love Witten but it's time to move on.

    That's an entirely different point.  You can piss into the wind on this point.  I'm of the opinion, he'll retire here and the decision will probably be his.... Now I don't think that's necessarily the right decision, but I think it's the reality of the situation.  Dallas has so few truly "football legends" the last 20 years, you need some sort of ambassador and he works with Jerry/Stephen with his contract too.  Idk, his contract isn't up until 2021 and while I don't think he finishes it.  I could definitely see 2 more years in his eyes.

  5. The problem with the 2nd TE is largely schematic, not really Witten.  We've drafted many TEs over time with an offseason desire to use them more, namely Bennett and Escobar.  These were unbelievabley stupid  misallocation of draft assets because we've never shown in the Red/Linehan offense, an ability to use a 2nd TE.  We don't play enough 2 TE sets especially when we need to generate some offense with our passing game.  The problem isn't simply we didn't use Bennett enough or Escobar was an fucking horrible pick, it's those guys weren't going to play enough to be productive anyway..... Until Witten retires, we should probably steer clear of using any type of valuable asset (first 4/5 round pick, big money UFA, trade, etc) on our 2nd TE.  Guys like Hanna, Swaim, and the big ugly Jarwin should be able to do enough in the limited role we give them....

  6. This was a game the Cavs needed to steal..... starting back court for Indy?  6-22, 2-10 from 3 with 7 turnovers.

    JR Smith had a chance to win it but not close.  Indy up 2-1.  

    For one night...... one night only..... BOGS >>>> . Lebron

    Maybe LeBron can will them to win this series, but I hope Indiana puts them out of their misery. This is easily the least enjoyable team featuring LeBron since the pre-decision misery.

    Nobody came to play for the Cavs in the 2nd half including Lebron.  He's hit a couple of late 3's but they're barely above 30 this half.  Hill and Love played well early.... Lebron has 6-7 turnovers tonight.

  8. Cleveland coming out in game 3 with intensity..... Refs too!  Hill just gave a forearm to Turner in the lane and they called it on Myles.  What?

    Refs calling it pretty close in the first minute or so.

    So...we gotta draft a big man right?

    We need wing players and guards much more...... We could use a bench big that can protect the rim.   It's not a big man's game anymore.  Our issue is we have two really bad contracts on the books for next year.  Pau, which nobody can fucking explain and Patty's, who we probably "rewarded".... Not two of PATFO's shining moments.
