Under rated part of the Cowboys losing in the playoffs in humiliating fashion is exposing how much of the NFL media is worthless junk. These guys get paid way too much money to look like retards

I don't know how he could still have such a soft spot for Dem Boys after how dirty Jerry did him years ago. I know they made up and shit, but still... it's like a battered wife.

Michael Vick literally murdered puppies and went to prison for it, and was still objectively good enough to get back into the NFL Ray Lewis killed a man. T.O. and Ochocinco were lockerroom cancers when they played.

Don't forget Antonio Brown , in the pantheon of locker room cancers, that guy was PANCREATIC in nature.

There's a reason they are rapidly being replaced by YouTubers - there's nothing a pro sports analyst does that a guy on his literal couch couldn't do and do better.

The only person who I don't think this is fair too is Jimmy Johnson, dude loves his old team, the rest fuck'em.

After what Jerry did to him? And the fact that Jerry refuses to see that he is the problem with this franchise by wanting to win a super bowl without Jimmy Johnson's finger prints on the team is enough for me to not feel bad for him. Jimmy has every right to be a realist with Dallas and he would rather be completely partisan.

Hopefully Jerry dies before Jimmy so everyone can tell Jimmy that he is the only reason the Cowboys were good

Pretty sure AB could get a try out with a few teams if he showed he was still in shape

Oh, no doubt.

I was just agreeing that the only thing keeping him off the field is his performance. The Steelers would've welcomed him back against the Bills at halftime if they could've, despite the pending lawsuits from 5 different people for everything from negligence to failure to pay his bills and the fact he mismanaged a championship-tier Arena Football team into the dirt so hard they were kicked out of the league.

got pissed at Big Ben and Brady for not targeting him enough.

Like, dude, you could've very easily wound up trying to catch passes from Mark Sanchez or something. He didn't know how good he had it.
 
I don't know where you guys are getting the idea that AB could get a workout these days. He left Tampa Bay as a WR2/fringe WR3 who was constant locker room and media cancer, and the NFL will absolutely blacklist you if your talent is massively outpaced by the drama you create. It took the greatest QB in the sport's history's personal endorsement (and I suppose Belichick being desperate to try to wrangle another ring out of the 2nd Patriots dynasty) to get him signed to teams after the hilarious fiasco that was his time at the Raiders training camp.

People brought up Terrell Owens and I'd point out that after the driveway workout, the only NFL team to try to sign him was my Seahawks and he lasted like two weeks before they were sick of dealing with him and cut him. And he's still in phenomenal shape and trying to bait teams into signing him.

Kaep got a workout. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to get a workout. Now the question would be, would any team risk signing him. And I don't think there is a team who is dumb enough to do that yet

Well he's also 50 years old. A hip drop tackle would disintegrate him at this point.

The only player I question why teams aren't inviting him to work out is Cam. Yeah he was entirely broken on the Pats but he might've healed up since then.

Kaep got that workout in 2019 because he (finally) said he'd play backup or 3rd stringer. At that point the potential good PR from sports media outweighed the risk and I don't recall hearing that Kaep was locker room cancer specifically, so much as a media headache for any team that might have to bench him.

Of course, he immediately sabotaged the workout because he didn't actually want to play QB anymore, the whole thing was an attempt to bait the NFL into another bad headline, but that's kind of beside the point.

If AB came out and said he was in a bad headspace, saw a therapist, and has been working out to try and resurrect his football career while saying all the right things, theres a team that would give him a workout. Its a lot of hurdles sure, but it would happen

The hatred for journalists in this country isn't high enough. Some of these fuckers just need a beating in the streets with people passing by them and cheering
 
Minor, but kinda interesting story out of the UK. Gloucester and Wales rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit has, seemingly out of nowhere, announced he's leaving Rugby Union to chase a spot in the NFL through the IPP. When I say out of nowhere I mean literally, he announced it Tuesday afternoon, just hours before he was expected to be announced in Wales Six Nations squad, and apparently the program starts on Friday.
 
So I guess Jim Irsay OD'd, lmao.

Explains a LOT about the Colts, honestly.

COLTS OWNER JIM IRSAYFOUND BLUE, UNRESPONSIVE IN DECEMBER ...OD Suspected, Cops Say​

UPDATE

The Colts released a statement on Jim Irsay's health ... saying he is still recovering from his "respiratory illness."
"We will have no further comment on his personal health, and we continue to ask that Jim and his family's privacy be respected."

Jim Irsay was found laying in his bed unresponsive, cold to the touch and gasping for air during a suspected overdose in December ... this according to police in Indiana.
Carmel Police Department documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, show cops were dispatched to Irsay's Carmel residence on Dec. 8 at around 4:30 AM ... after someone said they had found the Indianapolis Colts owner unconscious on a bathroom floor with a blue skin tone.
When police first arrived on the scene, they say Irsay had been moved to his bed ... where he was struggling to breathe and had a weak pulse and constricted pupils.

Police say in the docs an attempt to wake him with a sternum rub was unsuccessful. They added, though, that after administering one dosage of Narcan -- a drug commonly used to revive people in opiate overdose situations -- "he responded slightly."
Cops say they were prepared to attach an AED to Irsay -- but paramedics arrived and "took over lifesaving efforts." Irsay was eventually transported to a nearby hospital via an ambulance.

Officers noted in the documents that a caretaker provided them a list of the medications Irsay had been taking ... though they wrote in the report, "At this time, it is unknown what Mr. Irsay had ingested prior to our arrival." They classified the incident in the docs as both "overdose" and "overdose/poisoning."
Irsay had not been seen around his Colts' team in the weeks following the incident ... and on Jan. 9, the team announced he'd been dealing with a "severe respiratory illness." The Colts explained in a statement that he would miss a scheduled appearance in Los Angeles with his "Jim Irsay Band" while receiving treatment for the ailment.

"He is receiving excellent care and looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as possible," the Colts said. "We'll have no additional information at this time and we ask that you respect the privacy of Jim and his family as he recovers."

We do not know if Irsay's recent hospitalization is related to the December incident at his home.
Irsay -- who's been the owner of the Colts since 1997 -- said in an interview with Andrea Kremer back in November, he's battled addiction to alcohol and pain pills during his life, requiring at least 15 trips to rehab. He also told Kremer he previously suffered an overdose after he "was trying to detox myself."
"All of a sudden I started slurring my words and then code blue, I stopped breathing," he told Kremer of the OD. "And they revived me, and the doctor goes, 'Jim, you're one lucky man because I had signed, virtually, the death certificate.'"
We've reached out to Irsay, but no word back yet.

If he makes it to the NFL, that might be a bigger deal than most people realize. Pretty sure the NFL will pay more than most rugby contracts so this might incentivize more players to enter this program. Of course he could fail and we have to wait a few years for this to happen again
