  1. That would be the aggylandic Ocean.
  2. Awesome! Looks like I'll be gettin' me a Superbowl ring!
  3. I'll take the knob that doesn't fall off after the third flip. But the Mr. Peanut looking one is goofy AF.
  4. I have no particular expectations about next season other than it will be a little different, and some the same. Different is probably better, even if it is just a little. Kicking Mike to the curb is probably addition by subtraction, and the staff badly needed new and younger blood. Get some more studs on the team and avoid injuries and see what happens. Wouldn't take a miracle to at least have a winning record again.
  5. Kelce should have stuck with the 70s GI Joe hair. Unveiling the brand new flowing mane on Super Sunday was bad mojo, man.
  6. Not thrilled with Ken Dorsey on the staff, but hopefully not a real high leverage position. But the new receivers coach gets a pretty decent endorsement. The Cowboys definitely needed a change in developing receivers. https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/2025/02/10/cowboys-junior-adams-wr-coach-cooper-kupp/ While at Eastern Washington for five seasons, Adams played a key role in the development of an undersized and seldom-used pass-catcher named Cooper Kupp into a premier NFL-caliber talent. Kupp has called Adams “the best there is” and said that no coach has ever had a greater impact on him than Adams. “As hard as he can be on you, I think he sees more in people than they see in themselves a lot of the time,” Kupp once told Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times. “I think he sees the best in people as well, and he wants to bring that out. He definitely pushed me and really forced me to accept the fact that I could be greater than what my own thoughts were. “I really credit a lot of my mindset and the way that I’ve gone about my whole career – the mindset I’ve taken into my training, into my preparation – I credit a lot of that to Coach Adams.”
  7. First point is the correct response. Not sure how much of Lamb's route running is him or the Cowboys coaching/scheme stuff. But maybe. Aiyuk is one of the most overrated, glad the Cowboys didn't think about trading for him. Productive enough over the season, but a system guy that's pretty hot and cold. Put him on a lesser offense and he's a JAG...when he's healthy.
  8. Ah, OK my bad. I guess I shouldn't try to read boards before lunch after bouts of insomnia. Next statue should be Mike Hargrove, with animatronic self-adjustments at the plate. He would be spending about the same amount of time between pitches as he did in real life.
  9. I hope they order the right Elvis.
  10. I love Elvis, but a statue seems a bit much. But OK, as long as it's a really good one I'll be happy. But it will probably be as bad as most sports hero statues propped up at stadiums and arenas. Good sculpture ain't easy to come by.
  11. CeeDee is even better than his stats. When you see detailed analysis about his tiny catch windows and difficulty compared to others it's pretty amazing got got anywhere close to his actual catches and yards.
  12. Added another 'Flus guy. What is it, like five dudes now? Dallcago Bearboys. That part makes me a bit nervous.
  13. Waco - Temple - Bryan, looks good. Hopefully won't get preempted by fake doctor informercials for boner pills and wrinkle cream or some shit.
  14. Oddsmakers just know how stupid typical betting fans are, doesn't really have anything to do with likelihood. Ain't happening.
  15. I hope the OTA network spreads out this way. Can't pick up any DFW stations, I could pick up a lot of Austin stations if I point an antenna out that way.

    Grammys

    I hear the Beatles actually won a grammy. For the worst single they ever released. Does that speak to the quality of today's biggest hits?

    Grammys

    I never watch that shit. Do the cameras keep showing football players up in some VIP booth? It would seem fitting.
  18. I tried those, and I like them...for a while. But they start falling apart in a few weeks, very frustrating.
  19. Not sure how trivial, but it pisses me off that I have such a hard time finding belts with acceptable spacing. The holes on almost every belt I look at are way too far apart, so you go up a notch or down a notch and it is fn' worthless. There are times when you need a slight adjustment, even during the same day. I keep buying the same two belts, and they aren't that great. But I can find no others that have correct spacing.
  20. Their problem with drafting is that they used too much draft capital on OL which ended up being part of the huge cap issues. They just don't manage it well. They end up being forced to draft for immediate need way too much when they fail to manage the OL ahead of the curve, and also extend questionable players because they lack other options. The better managed teams mine for OL later in the draft and are able to develop them. When you look around the league it's mostly the LT's that are top heavy in high round picks. Then you have to have OL types that fit your scheme and what you do. That's one of the ways they underutilize their talent, high draft rankings but not good unit fits. It's both coaching and drafting. But the better teams always seem to be able to cobble together solid OL units with far less spent on players other than the LT.
  21. OK, cool, thanks. I guess the Cuban is holding the new guy's beer.
  22. The way the Cowboys have tried to value OL talent has been a major flaw for a long time. They needed to value the unit and their overall depth more, adapt the OL to their schemes, not just plug and play and wonder why it isn't working right. Draft rankings and underwear Olympics don't make a great OL. They just end up with the most expensive OL that breaks down easily.
  23. Did they move April Fools to Groundhog Day? I'm glad I stopped giving AF about the Mavs and NBA 20 years ago. Cuban has been a shitty owner forever. He got lucky a time or two, but he sucks royally.
  24. The staff was always the biggest deal. Get more modern, a bit younger, more innovative. Paleostaff is not a great way to go, especially when the head coach isn't particularly brilliant.
  25. Seems like a very Eberflus driven staff. I guess he's the the next man up for cheap head coach with experience. Heavy OL coaching influence and developing modern run game concepts seems like it has been a major need.
