    Hard Knocks: Jerry Jones Salts his McGriddle

    Precisely. Anyone who thinks this show is uncovering any kind of earth-shattering detail has missed the past 25 years of Cowboys football. That entire organization is a complete clown show from top to bottom. There might be some bright spots here and there but Jerry Jones always manages to find...

    2021 Golf Thread

    I played my best round ever on Saturday. Following a birdie on 16, I was sitting at +4 going into the par 3 17. Even if I finished with bogeys on the last two holes, I would have surpassed my personal best score of +7, so I was feeling pretty good. Then my brother's jinx hit. Hit my tee shot...

    Texas Football: Tom Herman Out, Steve Sarkisian In

    Seriously. If he hadn't already been bleeding recruits like a hemophiliac, Bijan's performance in the bowl game alone would have proved that his lack of use this season (and wasting of a year of eligibility) would have been a fireable offense all its own. But hey, at least he let Keontay "I'm...

    Bad Coaching Hires

    Yes, which is why I allowed that other franchises have had worse. Though it could be argued that Phillips's success was largely due to the Parcells roster (I call this the Barry Switzer phenomenon) but Parcells never had a chance because he was merely brought in to goose the vote for the new...

    Bad Coaching Hires

    I see that slate of coaches and raise you: Barry Switzer Chan Gailey Dave Campo Bill Parcells Wade Phillips Jason Garrett Mike McCarthy That's a very underwhelming group. And the results, or lack thereof, speak for themselves: a .520 regular season win percentage and a 4-10 playoff record in...

    2020 NCAA Football

    I know this doesn't directly answer your question but it comes pretty close. The catch here is that they literally wrote the rules to replace the infected team with the 2nd place team, so the direct answer to your question is probably: it depends on the conference and their contingencies...

    2020 Cowboys: Dak Out for Season

    What offensive firepower? They've scored a combined 13 points in the past two games. I'd be shocked if they were to win more than one of those games but I wouldn't put it past them to do that and end up with the 10th pick. Good, but not good enough to make this shitshow immediately better.

    2020 Cowboys: Dak Out for Season

    If Atlanta had recovered the onside kick, this team might have a legit shot at the #1 pick. But since there's no way the Jets win 3 games and the Cowboys are the type of team to fuck around and win when they shouldn't, it's just not going to happen. They are definitely bound for a top 5 pick so...

    2020 NFL: Post Season Bubble in LA & Dallas?

    Depends whether they'd want the game indoors or not. The Cotton Bowl should be second on the list behind the Death Star if they are going to have fans in attendance. Unless they can somehow manage to use Globe Life Field. Which wouldn't be a bad idea.

    2020 NFL: Post Season Bubble in LA & Dallas?

    Yeah I'm not sure about fans. Texas would allow them but California wouldn't (or at least it's safe to assume so, given our current trajectory). I find it hard to believe the NFL would allow fans for one set of games but not for the others. Then again, it is the NFL, so who the hell knows. I...

    2020 NFL: Post Season Bubble in LA & Dallas?

    Another point in Dallas's favor is that the Frisco area is really popular for conferences - I have no idea why - so there are a ton of hotels within a half mile radius of the Star complex. The area could easily accommodate 6 teams for wild card weekend, plus all support staff. As for the games...

    Yup. He was one of the 5 I identified: Tyron Smith Travis Frederick/Joe Looney La'El Collins Blake Jarwin Dak Prescott

    2020 Cowboys: Dak Out for Season

    Funny. But not with two of those losses coming to Washington and Philadelphia. Believe that all you wish but I did nothing of the sort. Or need I remind you that the Cowboys lost their starting quarterback yesterday? That's kind of a crucial component of your little experiment; the control...

    2020 Cowboys: Dak Out for Season

    Are they, though? Or are they just a test of how much storm you can weather having lost 5 offensive starters? Spoiler alert: it won't be much and I fully expect them to enter the bye week with a record of 2-7.

    2020 Cowboys: Dak Out for Season

    That's not what he said. He said something more along the lines of putting Prescott in the category of Mahomes and Romo (not excluding him), in that they're among the handful of players who could keep that play alive the way he did. Clarence should know better than to pull that Skip Bayless shit.

    2020 Cowboys: Dak Out for Season

    Is the O-line good? Like, objectively? I think they're coasting on reputation and have taken several steps back this year. Obviously injuries and Frederick's retirement have played a big role in that but it's not like Tyron Smith's injury history is a recent phenomenon. We've even been saying...

    2020 Cowboys: Dak Out for Season

    And, yet, they legitimately could have won that game were it not for piss poor execution on special teams all throughout the first half. They directly resulted in a 4-point swing (which would have meant they only would have needed a FG at the end*) and indirectly resulted in another 4 points...

    2020 Cowboys: Dak Out for Season

    Didn't hurt that Woodson was a linebacker in college, so those sets kind of made sense. I'm not sure that would make much sense with Thomas, given his recent injury history and the fact that he's on the wrong side of 30. Signing Thomas made a bunch of sense until the Brandon Carr news. Now all...
