change.org petitions have about as much power as those anti-Trump protests. 

The old people playin folk music and singing Perter Paul and Mary songs, with ukuleles, really get me going. Effective stuff.

I dont read his stuff anymore but I am not his employer, so somebody likes the job he is doing.

I think at ESPN you kowtow to their agenda and they leave you alone. It really isn’t merit based as much as people that manage stuff like that want to get it to where it runs itself and they don’t have to micro worry about it. This incident might get their attention. which, you don’t want if you are Newton (or another schlub doing the daily grind, you really just want to stay off their radar). 

I don’t read him either, for a few years now. 
We lose so much, I generally have stopped listening to post game  and locker room stuff so missing him is easy.

the outrage !

I am not saying OP did this I don’t recall but people slag XL horribly all off-season and then increase it with his struggles this year. 
But let the sports hack mess with him and watch out. 

Maybe he will kill it this game for his dad. Who would not be rooting for the Cowboys tomorrow

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
