The next time you see a Cowboys fan let them know about this..............it will make their day.

 

It is a true story told to me by the author of many Steeler books.......

 

After the Steelers won their first Superbowl (after decades of being the bums of the league) the folks at Monday night football went around the country they noticed Steeler fans everywhere they went.

 

So the following year Roone Arledge the producer of MNF went to Art Rooney Sr. and told him about this and asked if he could call them "America's team".

 

Mr. Rooney respectfully declined telling him, " That is very flattering offer but the Steelers belong to the people of Pittsburgh".

 

At that point Arledge asked him if he would mind MNF going to their second choice for that moniker and using it for them. Rooney said it was just fine with him.

 

So they went to the Dallas Cowboys and asked if they'd like the name.

There is nothing in Football I like better than seeing Jerrah's team implode. I am beyond sick of those assclowns.

 

Growing up in Pittsburgh I actually like the Cowboys when Landry was the coach and Staubach, Ed too tall Jones, Bullet Bob Hayes were among the greats with them..........

 

Then enter Jerry Jones in 1989 and the 180 I did on that team remains the total disgust of what he did to that franchise....

You sound ridiculous. Suspending a guy who is passionate about winning even if he can't control his emotions? That's some mentality right there.

 

You dont walk out on your teammates.  Ever.  Thats pathetic and selfish.  Passionate or not.  Control yourself and be a team mate and a professional.  Discipline should be handed down with this.  If I just flipped out and walked out when things didnt go my way at work im sure i would be dealt with.

There is no rule to that, and obviously that's left to what is one's opinion of that. Dez bryant is a passionate player and if he thinks that he would be better served going to the lockeroom then creating a scene on the field then I'm sure his teammates understand. You sit at home judging these people but you don't know what his teammates feel about him or the situation. Obviously though things can change if his teammates felt disrespected but I'm sure they know how passionate he is and don't mind it. And as I said it's not a rule to stay on the field so it's left to personal opinion on the situation.

I would love the story if the Steelers weren't the first choice. I won't spread that story knowing they might sink their teeth into it.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
