    It should have gotten us a Super Bowl appearance that season. But we get to the GB game and we become a pass it all over the field team. 3rd and 1 and we pass to the endzone. Remember, that 2016 team was the same exact team from 2015 that went 4-12. Insert Zeke and we are now at 13 wins. So because we wasted his talents early on now makes it  a wrong pick?Doesn't work like that. Dallas had an offense that was built around a workhorse RB. Zeke was infinitely more valuable than a DB at the time. It was a no brainer and it worked. Right away to the tune of a #1 seed instantly.

    And a workhorse RB was available in the 2nd round, is a much better player than Zeke and costs $25MM less. And you would have gotten an all pro CB with the 4th pick. This isn't hindsight. It was widely discussed during the draft.

    But you're hellbent on justifying the Zeke pick despite all evidence to the contrary. And you accuse the Jones family of having a fantasy football mindset for roster construction? 

    Edit: And Zeke is the sole reason that 2016 team went from 4-12 to 13-3? Anything else change from 2015?

    The jump to defend him and dig up the dead guys pasts to justify it is strange.

    It's no different than the resident assholes on this site saying Black people cannot be outraged by murderous cops until they solve Black on Black violence, protect the civil rights of Hong Kong citizens, and submit to all unjustified Deputy Redneck commands because Blue Lives Matter first and foremost. And after they've solved all of the world's problems, we'll eventually get to the issue of police reform but only for martyrs that don't have a misdemeanor on their record. Because fuck them if they do. Oh and the burden of rebutting a fake pedo charge or a fake Molotov cocktail circulating on social media? That's the responsibility of the deceased. Not the jerkoff stupid enough to be circulating the bogus info that holds the grievances of Black and Brown people in contempt. 

    All of this should have been in the SOP manual. PM me your email address and I'll make sure you get a copy of the memo.

    Half of CR posters are lawyers. Some of y’all have to be trial lawyers. How does the video affect the chances of getting convictions for each of the defendants for their specific charges?

    It would serve as rebuttal evidence to the officers perjuring themselves about Floyd's conduct prior to the murder.

    "peaceful" - lulz. If 86 people show up on your porch at midnight yelling shit at you, you wouldn't think it was peaceful at all. They were given the chance to leave, they didn't. Just because 3 piece of shit cops should get indicted doesn't mean breaking the law is the means to which that gets done. I doubt anyone one of this group gets prosecuted, but it makes for "good" headlines.

    It's a lot more than 3 which is kinda the point of all of these "unlawful" protests around the country.

    Only the Cowboys, and the Redskins(err..whatever they're called now) could screw this up. 

    Cowboys are going to fuck around and go 5 years without a Franchise QB again...like after Aikmen.  I mean we've been EXTREMELY lucky to go from Aikmen, a 5 year gap, then Romo then Dak.  If they fuck this up, and they probably will, since half this stupid fan base thinks Dak is a bum and will be happy to let a FRANCHISE QB walk for nothing, then we deserve to be shit on year after year forever more.

     

    I mean great QB's just grow on trees...too bad we didn't draft Jameis or Mariota or whatever bum QB's have been first rounders lately(except for Mahomes and Watson...2 of the last 20.

    Do you communicate like a teenage girl in every aspect of your life? Passive aggressively lamenting how "we" should have done things differently, set up simple minded straw men and then refute arguments no one is making.

    Is that how it sounds in your head when you're talking to yourself?

    Behind a paywall, but some key parts of the article.

    Egregious, grotesque, absurd, crazy, ridiculous.

    These are a handful of the words that some local African American leaders are using to rebuke the Minneapolis City Council’s moves toward dismantling the Police Department, even as they demand an overhaul of law enforcement.

    While the movement to defund the police has been driven by Black activists, others say that city politicians rushed the process and failed to include a police chief who has the backing of many Black residents.

    “They have shown a complete disregard for the voices and perspectives of many members of the African American community,” said Nekima Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and former president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP. “We have not been consulted as the city makes its decisions, even though our community is the one most heavily impacted by both police violence and community violence.”

     

     

    The measure doesn’t preclude a chief with a traditional policing background, but it requires the head of the new agency to have “non-law enforcement experience in community safety services, including but not limited to public health and/or restorative justice approaches.” Arradondo joined the department as a patrol officer in 1989 in his early twenties.

    “Why now, when you have an African American chief who is highly regarded and trusted in the Black community?” said Steven Belton, president and CEO of the Urban League Twin Cities. “This strikes me as being passive-aggressive Minnesota Nice on steroids. This is a hit on Chief Arradondo.”

    MPD is getting somewhere. 

    Didn't Dallas PD do this a few years ago after a rash of excessive force incidents where the badge cam was conveniently broken?

    Dallas took the opposite approach. Chief Brown introduced a policy granting a 72 hour cooling off period for the officer and allowing them to review any video footage of a shooting before making a statement.

    This was after a neighbor's security camera contradicted a cop's bullshit story about what happened when he shot a mentally ill man. Both officers lied on the arrest affidavit. The surveillance footage made the news, the cop was fired and charged with aggravated assault. But the policy was justified based on a "memory expert" who said cops needed proper rest in order to accurately recall a shooting incident. The memory expert was a law enforcement consultant.

    But it could be honestly and accurately characterized as a garage door pull rope with a looped end that looks like a noose.  

    And the only one out of 1,684 stalls to have it. You seem strangely invested in banging your head against this wall. I hope you make some progress in whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.

    The mainstream media in this country should be ashamed of itself. Their arrogance and lack of objectivity have ruined the role of the 4th Estate is supposed to play in our democracy. Just look at how the woke mob sacked the editors at the Inquirer and NYT Op-Ed section. It is getting worse. I despise what they have done to our country. How can we have social cohesion when we have journalists with their agendas tearing at the fabric of our country. I get enraged every day I read my NYT at breakfast and have to soothe myself by reading the WSJ and their comments section where I can find my people.

    Does the Financial Times have an anti-Astros bias?

    I'm sure the irony isn't lost on anyone following these threads how often Brisket endlessly calls into question the validity of LE investigations, but now takes this one as gospel.  

    I'm questioning the validity of the officers' complaints in the first place. It gave the FOP an opportunity to bring out the old playbook, drama queen for a few minutes and reinforce the war on police narrative.
