  1. Texas Ex and McCombs graduate David Mulugheta.
  2. I guess those raw cream pies spewed into the air got him an extra $50M. God bless America!!
  3. I believe Barnes hired him during his last 2 or 3 seasons in Austin. You might be onto something.
  4. Man I feel for Marquette fans. So excited about being in the tournament for the first time in years and before you can even get your beverage and sandwich together you're down 29 to 12 and now 42 to 21 in the first half. Well, at least some Milwaukee area contractors will get some work heading their way for the upcoming week fixing all the holes punched in the drywall over the last 20 minutes.
  5. Yep he's cheap as hell. He's not the one who made the money so he's not preternaturally inclined to endure the risk taking associated with attaining that level wealth. Im sure there have been studies on the 2nd generation rich and how they're more psychologically predisposed to being much more conservative and doing things to preserve the money rather than following the same patterns their fathers sought to build their wealth.
  6. Yeah this was mentioned within the in seasonp thread. In fact this pic incorporates the Campo years so we're even higher on the total wins list if you start from the season Parcells tookover. We were like 8th or 9th and like the only team within the top 20 to not even appear in the conference championship game much less the Super Bowl.
  7. They signed OJ Howard for a 1yr deal that maxes out at $5 million. @Patrick Bateman I haven't kept up with Howard much throughout his career. I know that he hasn't lived up to expectations, but what's the scouting word on him. Can he actually block?
  8. Are you kidding me? He's the only thing who's consistently been worth a damn on the defense over the last 5 years. He had over 30 million left on his contract and just watched a teammate who he's leaps and bounds better than get 70+ million on the open market yet still wanted to stay to work things out with the Cowboys only for Cap boy to sit back and offer him Dalton Schultz money. Get all the way the fuck out of here with his attitude is shit nonsense. You guys with your default hate and envy for every professional athlete you come across is weird to me.
  9. If it were left up to Tommy Boy we would've lost both of our DEs.
  10. The issue seems to be the contract language regarding forfeiture for fines vs forfeiture for suspensions. The latter is common place throughout the league, but the former is only used by the Cowboys. However they claim they've never actually invoked it for a contract. As for people being suspicious of Schaefer's claim that he's never seen this specific language allowing the forfeiture of guaranteed money for fines given that he's also La'el Colllins agent we should remember that Schaefer isn't Collins' original agent. I'm not sure when he changed but Collins used to have a different guy so he may not have negotiated a deal with Cowboys for him yet.
  11. So you're saying a Top 10 league pressure rate can't get a guy $28M over 2 years? I'd gather most GMs would differ.
  12. I don't really listen to The Fan but my brother who does said Bobby Belt was on 105.3 today breaking down how the Cowboys negotiations with Gregory went. To recap: - Cowboys told Randy he was the free agent priority multiple times - Dragged their feet when Tank wouldn’t take a pay cut and tried to chip away at his value by bringing up his past and saying other teams wouldn’t be able to give him a support system like we can - Told Randy to field offers from elsewhere and come back - Offers didn’t have the same suspension offset language and it sounds like his agent hasn’t ever negotiated a Cowboys contract, so the agent thought it was out of line for them to include the language. - Agent wanted Randy to go to Denver anyways, so this is where I think he took advantage of the “unusual” terms even though they’re pretty standard in Cowboys contracts and encouraged Randy to pivot out of Dallas
  13. The first edition appeared in a 100-page issue of The New York Times Magazine on August 14, 2019.

  14. The original 1619 project was composed of 10+ essays along with a bunch of poems and other historical references. How did one line in an opening essay that was mostly about how Hannah-Jones' father's continuous and earnest displays of patriotism confused her growing up become viewed as the over arching thrust and object of ire for the entire project? The truth is that the people who hang on to that line as the raison d'etre for the entire piece of work and therefore reason to dismiss the other 90s pages of work are really just betraying their motives here. Imagine basing your entire criticism of a book off of the fact you didn't like the foreward.
  15. Yeah, but you're forgetting one important aspect. He played for the Razorbacks. Jokes aside, I was surprised by his 4.55 forty. His highlight tape routinely shows him running away from a lot of SEC DBs. I wonder whether he's one of those guys who just runs the 40 with poor technique, or if he's a guy who is just much faster on the football field than his 40 would suggest.
  16. I enjoy this guy's long twitter threads.
