Bruce Carter
I don't know why we keep seeing posts about Dallas needing to take a ILB in this year's draft. While there are some interesting prospects in this draft (Kuechly/Burfict), I don't don't understand why people are so quick to discount Carter's ability to not only man the position next year, but actually excel at it. No we really have no way to predict his effectiveness, but the limited snaps he got this previous season should be no indicator of how good he will be.

"Rather lucky than good "
the argument of losers? the pinnacle of conformism?
i don't know, but i can't imagine this being something people hungry to win would preach

Senior Bowl Open Thread

AND THE GIANTS, once again, LIVE ON LUCK. Manning HAD to have sold his soul to get the lucky bounces he has gotten throughout his career... I don't think I've seen him once win a big game like a real man. Always has to get that lucky bounce to win his big games. Time to put that poppycock to rest Cowboys!

I dont know who to root for in the Superbowl. Neither team exudes true greatness, in all honesty...

Josh Norman: Off Field Character Concerns

In the reports on Josh Norman this week many in the media have made references to off-field character concerns but failed to give any details. I thought I would share what I know about these concerns. These stem from some maturity issues that Josh had while a freshman. He had received several traffic tickets that had gone unpaid. As a result his license was suspended. He was pulled over and arrested for the unpaid tickets. The tickets were going to be paid for by a family member who failed to do so and that family member took responsibility for not doing so. This still does not lift the responsibility for Josh’s actions. Since that time Josh has not had any further problems and has been described by his coaches and teammates as being a high character person. I think Josh is past these problems and on the right track. I will update if any more information becomes available.

If the 49ers win Sunday, they will become 11th different team in the past 11 years to win the NFC title. The only NFC teams to not reach the Super Bowl in that span are the Cowboys, Redskins, Lions, Vikings and Falcons.

Does anyone know the salary cap space for the boys in 2012??

"We should just be thankful he (Jerry) hasn’t put on pantyhose and white boots and appointed himself head cheerleader."

The biggest deficiency in a lot of head coaches - I'd say more than half the league - is their faulty use of situational football, clock management and the use of timeouts. Believe me, a screw up like that could cost the Cowboys a playoff berth."
