My wife is whining now, for the fourth day about it. After a contentious back and fourth---including "You need to compromise!", "I'm going out then!" and my reply "Bye, enjoy yourself!", and "My feelings are hurt!" and me saying "You're too old for this, you know the deal!"---I just might be in the "clear", though I wouldn't bet on it.

She's out of town with family this weekend, but I like having an SO who's a football fan.

 

 

Granted it'd be better if she wasn't a hardcore Cowboys fan, but hey...

They were showing Frank Reich's comeback game on NFL Network. Made me ponder something.

The Panthers yanked Reich for Kerry Collins about three games into the season. Wonder how things might have been different if they'd stuck with Reich and let Collins spend his whole first season learning.

That first season might not have finished as well, but would Collins have been better off long-term?

My wife will casually watch the Panthers as she watches YT videos, scans FB, and plays Addiction Solitaire. She fancies herself a Panthers fan, but I do razz her about being a Cowboys fan! Why? Because her sister is a Cowboys fan, and whenever the family has a chance to get together and watch a Panthers-Cowboys game (or even a Packers-Cowboys game, because I have a Cheesehead nephew), my wife will root for her sister's team to not do so bad because "everybody is ganging up on my sister." I then get to calling her a Cowboys fan and tell her I'm getting her some Cowboys gear.

Lady Cowboy Fan is, shall we say, aggressive in her Cowboy fanhood.

She'll fight you :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

Yeah, man, my sister-in-law is a gear-wearing Cowboys fan! She isn't hard hardcore, but she takes it all in stride. The thing that gets me is that she divorced her husband a decade ago (and it was somewhat contentious), and he is a hardcore Cowboys fan as much as I am a Panthers fan. I tell my sister-in-law, "It's OK to switch to the Panthers now. The only reason you're a Cowboys fan is because of your ex!" She (nor her daughters) won't budge though! They'll be Cowboys fans until they die!

I'm still going to keep razzing them though!

I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going to live the next several years of my life surrounded by Cowboys gear :fear:

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
