  1. They're not losing Cooper. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26073422/nfl-cba-quirks-a-big-effect-2020-offseason
  2. No it makes perfect sense. Jerry is 77 and hired the best win now candidate as head coach only to retool the entire defense for a couple of years. Not to mention that Nolan has coached both 4-3 and 3-4. Plus 75%+ of the defensive snaps will be in nickel/dime packages. Nuclear stupidity.
  3. Uff, 3:00-7:00 just became unlistenable. Say what you will about Mike checking out a few years ago, he was still the glue that held that show together. He still played a valuable role in being the station voice of baseball, music, Dallas history, and the horny sexagenarian with early onset dementia. He made the show tolerable. Now, not so much. I like Danny but he's best in his dark cloud role sprinkling the show with his fun facts and stories of his Know City boxing friends. I don't expect the Ticket to carry afternoon drive anymore. They desperately need to find a third man in the booth
  4. The Departed also won Best Motion Picture in 2006. He didn't pick up the statue for producing it but if that's the criteria then he's only been nominated for Wolf of Wall Street and Hugo. He was hardly passed over for those two.
  5. Gruden could fire Mayock tomorrow morning so I'd say that Gruden has the GM power. Same with Belicheck and Andy Reid.
  6. See this illustrates exactly why this isn't a well constructed team. A disproportionate amount of the team's resources are allocated to the offense starting with a ridiculous market shattering contract for the most fungible position in football. $50MM guaranteed for 1,200 yards and 4.4 ypc...where can you find production like that? In the 7th round. While I applaud not succumbing to the sunk cost fallacy like the Cowboys front office and their dipshit fans (including many on this thread), I wouldn't let Cooper get away. He's physically not right the last three games and this passing offense goes nowhere without him.
  7. Oh so not missing games with injuries is a knock now....but for real, its just a stat that happens to be a fact. We all know we can have stats that show anything we want to say. Some people it seems like making excuses for facts Well Rodgers was drafted a year after Rivers and sat behind a HOF QB a season longer than Rivers had to. Statistically, Rodgers is a better QB than Rivers. Factually, he's orders of magnitude better than Dak. He's going to moonwalk into the HOF. The debate on his candidacy will take the committee about 10 seconds.
  8. Jesus Christ. You're still responding to futureman's trolling? Might as well start writing angry letters to the editor of the Onion.
  9. Tragic. I am very sorry for your loss.
  10. Because you keep trying to put this regular season loss into some sort of historical context. Because you're outraged that form didn't hold in a league where preseason predictions are worthless and half the playoffs teams didn't make the postseason the year prior. It's not a franchise altering loss. Or maybe you're right and ESPN will make a 30 for 30 about the game.
  11. It's the NFL dumbass. Why are you so preoccupied with preseason expectations in a league where half the playoff teams turn over every year?
  12. Eh, aside from Gordo and BaD radio, everyone on this thread seems to dislike the station. Anything that keeps Craig Miller from being smug and cunty about their ratings superiority is fine with me.
  13. @trophI can only relay my experience with someone close to me who was in a similar condition as your friend a few years ago. This guy was a 1st ballot HOF alcoholic and in his mid 40s wound up in the ICU sedated in a coma for a week. Liver failure which led to renal failure, jaundiced, and retaining fluid in his abdomen. He came out of the sedation after a week and it took some time for the encephalopathy to clear with round the clock dialysis. After which his liver doctor told him his drinking days were over, that he would die without a new liver, and he would be on dialysis until he got a new organ. His MELD score was in the high 30s. He wasn't an AA guy either. Despite the best efforts of people in the program coming to talk with him, he was too hardheaded to admit defeat. Impressively unreasonable even for an alcoholic. He remained dry for the next 12 months because he was physically incapable of basic tasks including transportation. Sobriety was a choice made for him but he still thought he was in control. We buried him about a year later. His body just couldn't recover from the damage he had inflicted and started shutting down just when we were getting hopeful. He left behind a wife, a beautiful child, and lots of people who cared about him. We alcoholics are prone to insane thinking and can be quite pugnacious when someone starts lecturing us about our booze. If he and his husband don't listen to his doctor when they read them the riot act, then dead man walking is a certainty. This is not a speedbump to endure before they can make a few changes to their lifestyle. I don't have any experience with an interventionist but I think that has a better chance of success than a social worker assigned to your friend. He needs a hard, pipe-hittin alcoholic to get through to him. I'd also encourage the husband to attend some Al Anon meetings though he could be a candidate for AA himself.
  14. No Corby, you weren't misled by Verducci. You're just an illiterate asshole. https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/10/18/new-york-yankees-bullpen-houston-astros-alcs

    Dallas | BBQ

    $29/lb... who the hell is selling brisket at that price?
  16. Could the lawyers on here opine on the Tarrant DA?
  17. It's not a rumor. It has been reported by multiple outlets and confirmed by the neighbor.
  18. Latin Deli just opened a new location at Quorum/Arapaho within the last few weeks.
  19. The prosecutor has to hammer the fact that there was no element of surprise. She noticed the door was open, that there was movement inside, and she chose to confront the "intruder" without confirming she was in the right place. Her claim that she found herself in extraordinary circumstances, fearing for her life and forced to make a split second decision is laughable.
