*Laffin*....well said......

Posted Sunday July 26, 2009, About: Next Cowboys coach could be...

Losing T.O. is not a bad thing, I agree.

Phillips is not the answer, I agree there also. But, in my opinion, I doubt any of the aforementioned coaches could, or would, work for Jerry Jones. If he fires Wade this year, I would suspect JJ will look in the college ranks for a HC, or he might even try his hand at it. Wouldn't that be a boat load of fun????

JJ is still looking for those "500 coaches who could coach the Dallas Cowboys".....495 left to go.

Posted Thursday June 25, 2009, About: Zorn, Gibbs talk Redskins football

To have owners like Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones, what else would you expect?

I will say this...........the Redskins do come to play, even if they lose, especially with us, the Giants, or Philly. Say what you will about their record, but the only ones who have done anything lately is the Giants, and they were very lucky at that. The main problem we and the 'Skins have, is ownership. ........................................That's beyond any fans control.......................................................

Well, I don't exactly "adore" him, but I do respect him for the coach and person he is. He's been a tremendous asset to the NFL. and gave us some good competitive games over the years. But, his last go around with the 'Skins, the game more or less passed him by like it did with Landry and Shula. The game changed, and he being out of it for 12 years will attest to that. Regardless, I still have an abundance of respect for the man.

You're either on drugs or a natural born idiot that don't know any history.

Joe Gibbs is one of the best football coaches that ever was. This last time for Gibbs it was evident the game had changed, but that happened with Landry, Shula and the rest of the old time great coaches.

Your comment is a non comment.

Posted Sunday June 21, 2009, About: Dolphins mad at Marino?

Some of the Cowboy fans do the same thing to Aikman...He can't win for losing, especially if he's commenting on a Cowboys game, and says something constructive about the opposition, especially if they're playing well. These people need to get a frontal lobotomy.

Posted Monday June 15, 2009, About: Irvin: Favre's 100 years old

Laffin...kinda like The Fonz?

Posted Thursday June 11, 2009, About: Eagles ready to extend McNabb

Mine's not. ..........Even with the rivalry and such, I see no reason to come here and bash your team. I could, but I choose not to, because there's really no reason for it.

Some of the Eagles fans know who I am, and I come to talk football, not bash. I've never been to Philly before, although, while on active duty, I could have been stationed there, but went to Pensacola instead. Since Philly is a city that was found before the Revolutionary War, I will respect it. It is part of OUR (meaning the whole United States) history, not just PA's.

It's good to have a rivalry and competition between two teams like we do, but not ALL fans of either team do as you suggest. Now, I will say this once again.........if my Cowboys don't make the playoffs, then I would like to see the Eagles win the SB, if they make it that far, for the simple fact that your team needs a ring, so that all in the division can lay claim to that, giving the NFC East another reason to claim it's the best.

Not all of us are Cowbitches..........lol..........

Posted Thursday June 04, 2009, About: Is Jerry Jones broke?

Unfortunately, they died. And left us with JJ.

Posted Monday May 25, 2009, About: T.O.'s Twitter blames Romo & Garrett

Then, you have Fran Tarkington, Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, and several others who never won a SB.

The thing is, I'd much rather take my chances on Romo becoming a championship QB, than what we had before him and since Aikman. He has the potential and gives us the best chance to win. Whether that will eventually translate into playoff wins, remains to be seen, but I like our chances.

Posted Monday May 25, 2009, About: T.O.'s Twitter blames Romo & Garrett

Lol............I assume you'd rather have Hutchinson, Wright, Henson, ......or God forbid, Quincy Carter once again?

Maybe he's not a championship QB, but he's a helluva lot better than what Jones has brought in since Aikman retired. Besides, you expect an undrafted free agent from a small Illinois college to become a championship QB overnight? Aikman couldn't even do that, nor Joe Montana, Steve Young, or numerous others. Dan Marino never won a SB......does he count?

Romo has at least got the team to winning if nothing else, and he's still young. Carter and the rest of those so called QB's were wastes of times.

Posted Sunday May 24, 2009, About: Palmer disses Ochocinco

He's jealous of T.O?........Owens is on his 4th team now...........lol

Posted Thursday May 07, 2009, About: Engineer: I did little with collapsed Cowboys facility

Yes, but this one is gold plated. Chase is an authorized Dallas Sucker for sure.

Posted Wednesday April 29, 2009, About: Lions open to starting Stafford

0-17 would be a good start............lol

Posted Thursday April 23, 2009, About: Cowboys interested in Matt Jones?

Do you really expect Jerry to learn anything after 20 years? He did for a bit when Parcells was there, but then he ended up going over his head as well when he brought in The Oral One, aka Owens.

Posted Thursday April 23, 2009, About: Cowboys interested in Matt Jones?

Here you go, Steelman.......where I replied to you about the "America's Team" thing. I got no reply then, and I expect none now. It appears you never returned to that blog, and probably won't return to this one either. Guess we'll see.

Posted Thursday April 23, 2009, About: Cowboys interested in Matt Jones?

I told you once before where that term was coined, and I never got a reply. The Cowboys didn't want it either, but it stuck. You need to re read your history, Steelman. Try Wikipedia.

You also assume a lot as well. Not all fans are "delusional". How can I, for instance, do anything to make Jerry Jones do what needs to be done? I cannot, nor can any other fan. Now, I will agree with you about ...." Jimmy Johnson won 3 rings and Jerruh with his ego ended that."...and just about anything you want to say about Jerry Jones. We fans did NOT elect him as our owner, and I will admit some fans can be stupid. Jerry Jones does have the gift of gab, and is persuasive. His money can do some talking as well, but that's out of the fans control. So, if you want to knock Jerry Jones, feel free to do so. If, per chance, you see a Cowboy fan who is stupid, feel free to do that as well, if it makes you feel better, but I refuse to knock your team or their fans. I'm sure the Steelers have their share of idiots as well, much like any other team. But, I won't call any of them out, and tell them they are "delusional".
Have a nice day.

Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Shanahan to coach Cowboys or Redskins?

Well said. I wholeheartedly agree with you there.

Jerry Jones may have had good intentions when he got Owens, but I would bet he didn't consult Parcells about it. He just did it, and I believe that was the main reason Parcells "retired".

As far as the statement "Notice he didn't get a job immediately?" from poster #414, it could be that since the Broncos still owed Shanahan 7 million, he could lay off of work for awhile, and wait for a job of his choosing. Whether that would be the Cowboys HCing job or not, I don't know. Possibility.

Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Shanahan to coach Cowboys or Redskins?

Except for the Giants.

Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Shanahan to coach Cowboys or Redskins?

You are correct Mr Hoghead. Although we have an owner who is clueless, he does want to win, and has the money. Yes, the last 13 years have been fruitless, of course, but then it could be worse.

Note your words,"........Last SB win"....at least we have some SB wins...........some teams have less or none. As for me, I'd much rather have some, than none at all.

And your team is?

Posted Tuesday April 21, 2009, About: Shanahan to coach Cowboys or Redskins?

Okay....I had 3 guesses, and the first 2 didn't count, but I still haven't figured out what you mean by "reported". Care to elaborate?
