    what do yall think about Zeke Elliot? I think he was dynamite for 2 years...then he became average. after his big contract of course...Dak, he's wanting way too much money.. He's good, not great. Needs to win some big games IMO.

    I'll start out with the admission I am a Steelers fan.

    That out of the way, Zeke and Dak both over achieved and with the help of Jones inflated their egos even further.

    Jerry Jones is the Cowboys arch nemesis and until he fully relinguishes control, not just GM, they will continue on their status quo.

    Zeke came out as a big bodied runner with speed. Fame and lack of discipline led him to the "high life". When he bought his O'line them UTV's he should have bought himself an anchor and strapped it to his ankle. Mardis Gras did him no service.

    Dak took over for a Romo that was Nomo, err never was......

    I've seen a lot of QB's come in as a replacement due to injury, and every now and again they don't miss a beat. He did that, the fans raved and Jerry seen $$$ with the fans and pretty much declared it from then forward.

    Jones loves to toss out praise and acknowledgements to the point he feeds his players egos.
    Aikman, Irvin and Smith ruined him, Johnson departing cemented that Jones alone cannot lead the team to another Championship. Switzer was an inheritance championship winner.

    Coach Parcells was their last best hope.

    The Packers cancelled their practice today. Time to abandon ship, Tim.

    I got that e-mail from my Packers owner e-mail account. It is the only e-mail that comes to my phone.

    Listening to the radio today, sounds like jerseys and helmets and hats etc are going to be littered with social justice stuff, just like the NBA...

    Exactly!

    So here is my proposition that will never get further than this thread :lol:

    Wear what you want, put a sticker on your crotch just in case Suh decides you need a stomping, I don't care.

    A sponsor once paid to have their logo on the soles of Tyson opponent, think it was McNeely(?), and while I thought it was funny I didn't really care. They paid their marketing dues.

    Let football players show their support how ever they deem fit, I don't care.

    That said, announcers are not allowed to comment on them and camera men are not allowed to focus on them to point it out. If they want to go the way of the XFL and "He Hate Me" or whatever they want on their Jersey so be it. If we see it due to camera angle of the play or following the player off the field, so be it. Just don't force it down my throat as if I need to be fed.

    If Sunday Night Football/NBC put Bob Costas on air for a 10 minute monologue telling me why I am not woke or I need to change my views as they did after Sandy Hook, I'll be done and I'll send as many emails, social media messages and call whatever numbers I need to, to express that.

    If BLM decides they want to buy air time, make sure their tax filings are represented as they are a political organization not a movement.

    Allow me to watch football and not push your political bullshyt on me, and I'll allow the players to dress and adorn theirselves however they want.

    I know it is, you know it is and right now the commentators and producers are all working on their opening day segments. It's going to be crammed down our throats like giving a horse a pill, or even worse a suppository because that is how I will take it.

    I hope backlash from the fans is fierce and relentless and week 2 improves. We'll see enough of the political climate during commercial breaks, let us escape while the clock is running.

    Half times without fans in attendance are going to be player interviews and woke opportunities.

    I'm going to be sitting on the crapper or pissing, i just want to watch football.

    I'm going to give it the best try I can.

    I've missed a lot this year, a little more isn't going to change much in the year 2020.

    I think I'm going to process every deer I shoot this year myself. Give me a little more time escaping everything.

    Ok I will admit I will tune in to watch the Packers destroy the division and sweep the bears, vikings, and the lions. I know no big feat, did it last year with a rookie coach candy from a baby.
