I could see this as a possibility.

Feeling, reacting, and acting are 3 different things, and I think the moderators do have a right to tell you how to act on this site.

The Super Bowl teams and the college signing day thoughts are both valid.

However, I wonder if Garrett is having a hard time filling out his staff due to his limited coaching experience. Most coaches draw from guys they have worked with in the past. Garrett has only worked on two staffs and then you are dipping into teams he played on (I'm sure that is how he found Jimmy Robinson).

I guess maybe they could hire Art Valero from Tennessee for RBs or TEs. I suppose that would be a promotion over assistant OL coach.

Socialist. J/k. I get the point of keeping religious, political, and personal talks off the site - always have, big reason why I choose to post here.

But don't tell people how they're supposed to post. It's not just CZ where 80% of fans are miserable and cynical - 17 years of futility will do that, especially with such a willingly polarizing figure like Mr. Jones.

I don't think any banning would happen if once in awhile you make a comment about Jerry doing something stupid.

It's the over and over and over, every day, every day kind of thing.

Do I think Jerry doing things right? Not necessarily, but since I don't harp on it day after day, I think I'm safe. Maybe.

Guys, Reality's sticky needs to speak for itself, so I'm not going to offer an interpretation. But I personally think a good rule of thumb is to simply add value to the conversations you engage in. Nobody wants to drive good posters away just because they're critical. This team deserves plenty of criticism. But there's a world of difference between being critical and adding to a discussion and being negative for the sole purpose of detracting from a discussion.

I'll wager that every single one of us could name posters (don't, but we all could) that we recognize are only here to damage the quality of discussion in the threads. There's no need for that, and it's unwanted. The challenge is in how to eliminate it in a way that's fair to other posters who truly want to operate within both the guidelines and in good faith. Honestly, that sticky post should be seen by everybody--realists and optimists alike--as a very good thing for the community.

If the bar is set at 'don't be an annoying jerk, all the time; and be respectful, please" it's not really all that high a bar.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

I have already noticed a change in this board since Reality's post. And that is a good thing.

The Romo haters have calmed down, they know who they are.

The Jerry haters have calmed down, they know who they are.

The Garrett haters have calmed down, they know who they are.

And, hopefully they are all real Cowboy fans. Some I'm not sure. But, frustration does set in, and like spilled milk, what's been done is done. We cannot go back, so why bring it up?

But, somethings do get funny at times. I sometimes laugh like...
