Which Cowboys have quit?

Wouldn't the shorter list be those who *haven't* quit?

Mike Jenkins...
Leonard Davis...
Orlando Scandrick...

Hell - the whole secondary!

Brooking hasn't quit - but his body sure as hell is giving up...



Oh - what's the use? This team SUCKS!!!

I saw a comment in the source DMN article that really got to the heart of the matter. Even if you can point out players who haven't seemed to quit on the field, most have 'quit by proxy'. No one is knocking heads in the locker room of guys like Jenkins. There doesn't seem to be any leaders in the locker room right now.

And THAT might be the biggest issue right now.

15 years ago, Irvin and Haley would have solved this apathy internally.

With all the talk about coaches, the locker room leaders are just as important. Richard Seymour has single-handedly done more to turn the Raiders around than any other individual or group, coach(es) or player(s).

The only thing we love more than building up heroes is watching them fall.

Man! Your socialist tendencies even extend to sports.

Another topic, WWJ....What the hell was Guillen thinking? Has Bonds left the dugout infected with some kind of 'stupid' virus?

That he's an oft-injured journeyman who can't do anything but play baseball. This is not his first run-in with HGH. I'm just glad he wasn't on the postseason roster.

It's obscene for an opposing defense to give up that many points. It's not like Wisconsin was playing a division III school.

Well Bucky couldn't stop playing. It's not like they went out of their way to run up the score either. They just weren't stopped, at all...

Then stop them from scoring! That is the object of the game right?

If I was an Indiana player in that game, I would probably have gone for a knee shot at one of their stars I would be so p*d off.

They can always get even in basketball.





Wait... uhh...

Old J.J. don't look to happy in that pic.

I think it was long obvious that they could not stop them.At some point sportsmanship should kick in.

What would you have them do? Fall down if they get into the open field? That would be worse. I would rather get my ass kicked than be pitied or patronized.

They did. Indiana couldn't stop them, either.

There's a difference between quitting and playing for next year. If anyone in that organization is smart, they'll concede a 3-13 season and make the last 8 games one long practice/scrimmage session and try to get their heads free from their cuolos and start fresh next spring.

Try some stuff, put in some kids, whatever. But if you want to take a half-full approach, you have an eight week head start on mini-camp. That should be very useful in making some necessary personnel assessments.
