  1. You can do it SH. Best wishes to you and Scooby as you go through this.
  2. That's great news Polk. Hope news continues to get better and better as your wife recovers.
  3. Sounds pretty cool. Probably have to drag you out kicking and screaming one it is all setup.
  4. Robinson spent a lot of the season as the number two while Austin was injured. He enjoyed a lot of success while teams concentrated on Bryant and Witten, and the emergence of Murray. Can he fit as the Cowboys #3 WR? Absolutely. The Cowboys run a lot of 3 receiver sets and they have not had a guy like Austin/Bryant/Witten/Robinson in a long, long time. Will he stay? I think so because he knows the system and even as the "#3" he had a very good season and was money in the red zone. JJones will find a way to pay. Robinson spent two years in Atlanta after being drafted in 2007. He went to St Louis after that for two years. He started in 11 games last season in STL but only recorded 34 receptions, 344 yards and 2 TDs.
  5. From what I have read, many teams do not allow full contact during practice. Too many injuries. That correlates to not practicing good tackling habits. Not to mention these guys know they are out for a paycheck. Each player is his own 'business enterprise" and they must protect the business.
  6. Has Martz been mentioned for any of the HC vacancies?
  7. These guys were banging on her door for quite some time trying to get inside. It doesn't take a law degree or a full understanding of the local law to know these punks aren't the welcome wagon coming by with a knife checking to see if this new widow and her infant are gonna be ok living but themselves. And this was the second time in just a few days that the guy had come to her door. She was very fortunate to have the weapon because the headline would have been very different. Now, at the age of 18, she just have to deal with the mental trauma of losing her husband to cancer and then killing someone. In a very interesting twist, the dead guy's accomplice ran away after the shot was fired is now being charged with first-degree murder. Charges Authorities don't plan to file charges against an 18-year-old Oklahoma widow who fatally shot a New Year's Eve intruder at her house while she had a 911 dispatcher on the phone. However, the intruder's alleged accomplice has been charged with murder in connection with the death. Sarah McKinley was in her mobile home with her 3-month-old son on New Year's Eve in Blanchard, Okla., when Justin Martin, 24, broke in with a large hunting knife, NBC station KFOR reported. When she asked if she was allowed to shoot the intruder if he broke through the door, a 911 operator told her, "Well, you have to do whatever you can do to protect yourself ... I can't tell you that you can do that but you do what you have to do to protect your baby." Oklahoma law allows the use of deadly force against intruders, and prosecutors said McKinley clearly acted in self-defense. According to court documents, Martin was holding a knife when he died. "Our initial review of the case doesn't indicate she violated the law in any way," Assistant District Attorney James Walters told The Oklahoman newspaper. Prosecutors have charged his alleged accomplice, 29-year-old Dustin Louis Stewart, with first-degree murder. According to authorities, Stewart was with Martin but ran away from McKinley's home after hearing the gunshots. "When you're engaged in a crime such as first-degree burglary and a death results from the events of that crime, you're subject to prosecution for it," Walters said.
  8. Dumb idea. It's funny that a league that hated fantasy football is now offering an award for best Fantasy Player. It's all about money. Like many have said, holding it the night before the Super Bowl is just plain idiotic. Surprised they didn't make it the half time show. But I guess they couldn't sell separate tickets for that. And Alec Baldwin? I like the guy. He's funny and all, but with a league having more than it's share of criminals, Baldwin and his run-ins with the law shouldn't be the face of a league award show......or maybe he fits in perfectly.
  9. Financially speaking and long-term cap ramifications, the Colts would be smart to release him. Even if he passes a physical later on, with that type of injury, he is one hit away from being on IR again. It's a lot of money to risk on an injured and older player (36 next season). There is no guarantee that he will be able to perform up to $28million standards.
  10. Loads of talent but a prima dona in every way. I'm surprised he hasn't petitioned the rules committee to allow him to wear the pink red jersey during games.
  11. Has there ever been any real discussion of changing the rule? Even though "it's always been that way" it used to always be a gazillion ties each year until they (the NCAA) came into the 21st century and instituted their version of overtime. (another topic altogether.)
  12. It really wouldn't matter if Jones hired a GM. That person would just have a title and a paycheck. All decisions would still come from Jones. His ego would never allow for anyone to have an outside chance of being the reason for their success. He would rather have an adequate football team that he designed than have another person get credit for constructing a Super Bowl team on his watch.
  13. In addition to that list, I think it is critical for them to find a way to rush the passer without the blitz. Spencer is not the answer. He had a decent season but he is not consistent and can be handled 1 on 1 by an o-lineman. They need someone other than Ware that can come of the edge. The double and triple teams on Ware took it's toll on his body and performance late in the season. The secondary is a joke. Newman can no longer cover and he certainly can't tackle. Jenkins can't stay healthy and, yeah, he gets burned a lot too. The Cowboys can do a lot worse at QB than Romo. He had a pretty good season but still had some blowups (Jets and Lions). He can no longer rest on the "well this is only his x year as a starter". It's long enough. He just has to be consistent over the full season. I think that goes for the whole team. Coaches included. Did I mention none of this means squat as long as Knute Lombardi Jones is leading the way?
  14. True, but the network coulda cut the kid some slack. It was obvious that she was trying to hide her face. The more she tried to hide, the more they zoomed in. It's a great story and even better that she is recovering, but she is just a kid and it was just a bit much that they continued to have the camera in her face when she made it obvious that she was uncomfortable. JMHO.
  15. Looked like a motorcycle helmet to me.
  16. Classic. You would bust a spleen trying to explain.
  17. Yes Jerry that is playoff revenue that you see going out the window. No ticket sales, no parking, no concessions and no face time.
  18. Guys have been open and he wont pull the trigger. Now he spins around and just hurls it. Must be January.
  19. Can we start a "Newman Stinks" thread?
  20. He is playing awful tonight. Just run for the damn first down. There was no one near him. Totally unprepared team.
  21. Say what you want to about Michael Irvin, but he always kept the team fired up. There is no one on this team that will get in the faces of these guys to get 'em going. Not even one of the coaches. And how fired up can you get with Santa Claus yelling at you? They're done.
  22. add terrible blocking to that list.
  23. No desire being shown by the Cowboys. Looks like they didn't even come to play. Not even putting up a fight.
