Pacman,

Tank,

TO,

Roy Williams,

All the whiners and crazies are going.

Greg Ellis must be peeing his pants.

Maybe someday down the line, we’ll look back and say, “Boy, 5th March 2008 is really the day the Dallas Cowboys turned it around and returned to claim their birthright — the Superbowl.”

if the good lord saw fit to take me now, I could pass knowing that all is well in Cowboys land.

Getcha resume ready indeed.

The Thong has been cut!
And the view is nice…

Not sure if anyone saw this quote from Jerry, but this was the very same reason I said Ray was not a good fit here…..

“You’ve got to look at that in the context of our overall team,” Jones said. “We have not internally really evaluated Ray from the standpoint of what we would have to do if we had Ray on the team. Ray plays exactly the same position in everything that Bradie James does. Now, is that where you want to allocate your dollars, or allocate your emphasis?”

1- Not signing Ray Lewis

2-Cutting TO

3-Cutting the THONG……

Jerry can do no wrong in my eyes right now…..This almost makes me forgive him for rushing to sign Newman, Barber and Hamlin…

will be a guest host and it’s gonna be a good session because the TO topic will be front and center.

that can make an offense with TO and RW work

Like I said…..I hope some of these guys stocked up on the Prozack because it was going to happen..

is going to visit K.C.

wants out of St. Louis. It’s likely he’ll get cut before march 17th as he’s due a 1.7 million dollar roster bonus. Holt is 32 years old, would be a positive influence and a leader on a team. Plus he can fill the #1 receiver spot, and let roy williams be where he belongs at the #2 spot.

I don’t see any trades happening as far as WR goes…..I think were going to draft a WR, otherwise roll with what we have.

So many fond memories of seeing him chase Santana Moss.

OK, nevermind that nonsense-

 Some time back, Raf put up a post about T.O.s numbers and how they indicated a decline in production (save for one bounce year) and that at 36, he is close to falling off a cliff soon. If you think in terms of the balance between what this years production might have been vs long term team value maybe it was time to make the break. We’ll see what happens this year. I like T.O. and his passion, I wish him the best.

As far as the Thong, he was a liability. Every OC in the league knew that he was a weak link and attacked it relentlessly. I think he’s a good guy, but his one dimensional play has been exposed. We are better off without having Roy in the D backfield.

Great job, Jerry!

Better watch your back Greg Ellis.

“He was banging cocktail waitress’s two at a time”

if it will be in the final cut?

As the Cowboys go 5-11, Marion Barber gets hurt half way thru the season because we got to run him 40 times a game, because our WR can’t get off the Line of scrimmage. Witten will have 120 catches with 7 TD’s…. but you know what the new headline with be… Roy Williams wants out of Dallas because Witten an Romo are drawing up plays behind his back.

Heck you guys are gonna need someone else to blame for why the Cowboys will suck @#$# next season why not blame the poor man’s version of T.O?

But I perfer to look at the bright side… At least the T.O. haters will be happy though and thats all that matters… Can you say 1st overall pick for 2010… I can’t Wait!! GO COWBOYS!!!

Romo next? It seems like he prefers to get drunk and fat with his girlfriend while players like Owens train and prepare themselves for upcoming seasons.

we still have romo, barber, felix, choice, roy, austin, crayton and witten.

we’ll be fine.

no more circus show either.

Asta!

let’s trade for Lance Moore.

We still have Mike Irvin’s reality show to find a replacement :)

If Roy Williams is half the WR that he says he is, we’ll be fine. We loose the headache of “having” to get TO the ball. Roy Williams was whining way to much and now he’s gone. I like this, if you bitch and moan, you’re gone. Let’s get on with playing football, getting better and getting a championship.

Can someone fill me in on what is going on with ESPN Radio

I heard that Newman was on their radio show talking about the Fist fight T.O. and Witten had at the end of last season.

we will ever learn who those sources were now that T.O. is gone…

I hope for all of you who believe that T.O was the problem that we win a playoff game next year… I just don’t see… and it really has less to do with T.O. being gone… then it has to do with this idea that THIS will be the catalyst that gets everything going. I don’t see it.. not if we don’t fix what’s the real problem.

Newman and Jenkins on the outside…..

T.O. is gonna go crazy ex-girlfriend on us and spill the beans about absolutely every little thing that took place with the team. Of course we’ll have to take it with a grain of salt, because he no doubt will do it to hurt us, but I think the “drama” has yet to come…

… but, your time had come and gone… something about lack of work ethic combined with questionable coverage skills

Something tells me Jerry’s wallet is hurting … holding cash now is not a bad idea… the way this economy is going, next year’s salaries will be a bargain in relation to what is getting spent right now.

Stop bunching all three TO stops together to justify cutting TO now. Even if TO deserved to be cut in Philly and Frisco, this fails to establish that he’s done anything as a Cowboy. (Remember Keyshawn? Went from “Cancer” to model player). When TO got here, we knew about his previous stints and took him anyway. As such, our decision to keep him or cut him should not be influenced by his past actions. I’m from Philadelphia and think that the Eagles probably should have just paid him, but I’ll concede that his divorce with the Eagles was entirely his fault. However, Jerry didn’t think that past was relevant. Judge TO on his behavior as a Cowboy. If you still believe he should be cut, fine. That’s a different argument and I’m not sure which side I’m on yet. I like TO, but don’t know the details. If TO was cut because he was hurting the Cowboys, I like the move; but if he was cut because of the perception that he’s hurting the Cowboys (largely formed by the media and TO’s past) then I think it was a mistake.

Consider a guy who stole 2 cars early on in life. He’s now lawfully employed and knows that if he gets caught again, the judge won’t be happy. He doesn’t steal cars anymore and he’s great at his job. His boss is aware of his past, but trusted him enough to give him a job.

During the crime season, the police have enough work to do and can make a living, but during the no-crime season, the police worry that they’re not going to make any money (assume they get paid on "merit").

As a result, there are some overzealous police officers, who not only protect and serve, but try to entrap former criminals in crime. They throw car keys at him, open car doors and walk away and even bring him to dealerships at night and unlock the front doors.

Unfortunately for our man, a car is stolen (‘Boys miss the Playoffs) and he’s the prime suspect. The whole town thinks he’s guilty (On an ESPN poll, 49 states said Cowboys should cut TO, including Texas…how much do these voters know?) and is pressuring the prosecutor to bring charges (economic pressure…remember that Football really is just a business).

The law doesn’t allow us to convict someone on the basis of past behavior, nor does it allow us to convict a victim of entrapment, why should our calculus here be any different? If TO was a good player and teammate in Dallas (which is certainly in dispute) he should still be a Cowboy.

I guess I just don’t know if TO really stole the car…And I think that’s the sentiment a lot of us share. We feel like he got cut because everyone thinks he’s a cancer, not because he is one.

As yourself this: Is there anything TO could have done to really improve his image or is the world just too damn unforgiving?

PS-I was really planning on getting a lot of work done today…Jerry just made that impossible!
