Mr. Scot

Burris might not be great, but I'm not sure I like the idea of rolling with what's behind him. Won't claim to have looked, but from what I understand his contract isn't all that expensive.

The team does put a certain amount of value on physical talent, and Thomas at least has that. If he can't get his mental game up to standard though...

Fair enough. You could have also gone for the cartoon guy, I suppose.

I look at it kind of like a cat playing with a ball of yarn, but it's valid that the novelty does wear off. Intelligent discussion is much more fun, but obviously you're not getting anything like that from a loser like that one.

Ziffel over Schwarzenegger?

And if your life is pathetic enough that you need and desire this kind of attention, we feel sorry for you.

Arnold?

"Hey, look at how dumb this moron is" doesn't count as amusement. Bemusement perhaps, as in wondering if the guy in question is just pathetically trolling for attention or genuinely this ignorant. (neither answer is a good one)

Pads go on tomorrow.

Neither at you nor with you, honestly. You have to have some intelligence to be funny. You're not.

Learning how to not draw penalties is gonna be his biggest challenge in transitioning to the NFL.

Is it just me or was there not some illegal contact going on in that clip?

You've read this whole thread and still don't know? That's pretty dim

It isn't new, special, unique or revolutionary at all. Plenty of old school coaches had full control. Hell, some didn't even have a GM to work with. Jimmy Johnson with the Cowboys is arguably the most successful example, but you also had guys like Bill Parcells, Mike Shanahan and even Butch Davis (granted, that was probably a mistake). If you go back further to the days of guys like Vince Lombardi, Don Shula and Paul Brown, it was even more common. The most notable recent example is probably Pete Carroll who's had full control since she took the Seahawks job, but before him Mike Holmgren had the same thing. And there are others as well, like that guy up in Massachusetts whose name escapes me at the moment So yeah, we're not doing anything "non-traditional" whatsoever. This model is as old as the league itself.

It sounds like the team is going to be experiencing "The Wrath of Coach" today Been 35 years or so since I last saw that movie, but it certainly wasn't something easily forgotten.

I generally respond by signifying that you're number one

It's not really the Huddle so much as one or two dumbasses.

Not a good thing...

So this morning, she says to me "You know deep down, you really like the Cowboys" It's not easy sometimes...

We'll be in essentially the same spot come Thursday night.

The odds of you getting banned (again) are significantly higher than the odds of Matt Rhule getting fired.

Moose and Proehl were both solid blockers.

Good read.

He's gonna be doing color commentary for the preseason games. Not sure that qualifies as working full time for the team, but hey...

(not the movie) Big deal?
