    This is some bullshit right here - joining the group chat so they could recruit for Alabama?  That whole family can fuck right the hell off.

    No doubt.  They can join Walker Little on some fault line in California.  I understand that coach "Middle Fingers" is an ass but where is the loyalty?

    Now I feel better about my one encounter with Blake in college.  It was at Conference Cafe in Lubbock after we had shit the bed vs Tech.  We were drinking together at the bar and I said something to the effect of "What the fuck, Blake?!"  After narrowly escaping an asskicking, I felt bad about insulting him later after sobering up.  Not now.  Asshole.

    I was at that game as well as Conference Cafe.  It was a fun place but overcrowded for sure.  This season is Tommy's season.  If he screws up this season which is tailor made for success, well, I can hear the BMD's sharpening their axes.

    Good for him - can't be too many finance interns at Dallas Kimball, whatever the form it takes

     

    There could be.  Everyone needs a teacher and a mentor.  If mentored from an early age, anyone could be good at finance.  Usury isn't differential equations.

    This. Bear in mind likeness can be pretty broad. Think of shit like a video of a 5 star recruit/star player recording a short birthday video for their kids.

    Would you have paid $100 for VY to wish your son or daughter happy birthday? Pay him $1000 to come to your son's birthday party? etc etc Texas should be able to crush this.

    This goes beyond TV ads and T-shirt sales. I would gladly contribute to a pool of funds that go towards "buying" 5 star players. Would rather that then the money going towards season tickets where frankly I have zero control over where it goes. Give the coaches the best players and you hope that then even they can't fuck it up (similar to butter teeth with VY & Crew)

    And this x100.  I would rather my money going toward buying players instead of some egg head in Belmont buying extravagant vacations on my dime.  I would even forego the tickets....  I'll donate all of my sports budget to players.  I can sit in my nice living room watching the games on sportssurge.net as long as we have the best teams.  I'm down for the struggle.

    Stephen Miller, thinking of the prospect of US forces opening fire on minorities in the coming days:

    Those crowds weren't all minorities, unless you count western euros as a minority.

    nails it in the last sentence.

     

    It's always the the poorest who pay the usury.  Who pays the interest?  These people need to understand finance and how our monetary system enslaves them.  Inflation is theft.  Interest paid on government debt is theft.

    reading the same:

     

    It's all staged.  They are playing right vs left, black vs white, blah blah....  This is how it's done.  Now the surveillance state kicks into high gear.  Look at who is pulling the strings.  Don't burn your neighbors house or business to the ground.  Look at the .0001% who own the central banks.

    Well, actually I'd say our decline started with the end of the Cold War.  The Soviets drove us to greatness in astronomy, technology, and other fields.  Once we no longer had the Soviets to stay in front of, it started going downhill.  But yes, I do believe that 9/11 and our response really ratcheted things up.  Or down, I guess.

    It's a credit cycle as well as a 4th generational turning.  We have experienced them b4.  US Revolutionary War, Civil War, and WW2.  The next 10-15 years are going to be rough, but once the debt is cleared, we will see good times again.  Advice:  Own your house, learn a trade, produce your own food.

    Jesus shit, shut the fuck up and go argue with Derka and Vic Mackey on the football board. Fuck. No one here cares about your incessant wrongheaded opinions on the Cowboys and Branding. 

    Checkmate, lol.

    Sorry for continuing the off topic conversation, but I can't let this stupid comment go unchecked. First of all, Landry and Schram were fired in 1989. Second, the Cowboys record in Landry's last three years was 17-30. If you call that solid you most love losing. 

    Landry ~ Starting from scratch in 1960 had a .602 winning %, 20-16 playoff record, 2-2 in Superbowls, and 13 division titles.

    Jerry ~ (ex Jimmy Johnson and his players) have a .526 winning %, no Superbowl appearances, no nfc championship appearances, 4-10 in the playoffs, and 7 division titles.

    Strip away the tickets purchased by corporate junk bonds and there ain't much to like here.  The Cowboys are the Vegas Raiders, so much for that winning brand.

    You do realIze there is a wide difference between “running a brand into the dirt” and “I don’t follow the cowboys anymore personally because of personal butthurt reasons,” right?

    guess you think charlie strong and Steve Patterson ruined the Texas brand forever too.

    Negative cracker jack, there are many people like myself.  The cowboys are not "increasing" their fan base.  They are pulling in more fiat banker bucks from zombie corporate interests but they are not increasing their market share when in comes to fans.  Jones is hated far and wide.  There will be a point in the near future when many of these zombie corporations are allowed to default and much of Jerry's gravy train will be gone.

    Now that is a seriously HOT take!

    "But America’s Team remains the biggest must-see show in sports. Nine of the 50 highest-rated sports TV broadcasts in 2018 were regular season Cowboys games, helping goose ratings for CBS, NBC and Fox. (The Patriots were the only other team with more than four games among the top 50.) Cowboys fever helps owner Jerry Jones generate an estimated $340 million in sponsorship and premium-seating revenue at AT&T Stadium, twice as much as any other team."

    The Jones have been very successful running the Cowboys financially, no doubt.  However if you were a fan of the Texas Longhorns, you would know that Tom Landry and Tex Schram were Texas Alumni.  Jones treated them very poorly.  To add insult to injury, Jones is an arkansas inbred.  He needs to go back to arkansas.  As a former fan of the Cowboys, I loved the teams that were run by Landry.  Landry and Schram had the best team all around up to 1990 in my opinion.  They were getting old but the team was still solid.  Jones did one thing well in hiring Jimmy Johnson and I was a fan until he fired Jimmy.  When he hired that ass hat Switzer was when I quit the Cboys.  Nearly every decision since has been about money and not winning.  Jerry Jones has destroyed the Cowboys as a winning organization.  They may never win another playoff game.

     

    Back to recruiting, sorry.
