ESPN Clayton: Cowboys Camp Observations

What a sissy. Man, why don't they have him covering tournament chess, or something he would look like he half way belongs in??

What a remarkably classless post. I fail to see how the physical appearance of a man should have bearing on his ability to report news or analyze a game.

I don't always care for Clayton's news, but he has his job for a reason, and I have little doubt that he is a very respected football journalist.

What are you trying to say?

Useless article. Other than the press conference quotes, there is not new information here, and certainly no observations that were based on Saturday's practices.

I'd rather have him as a backup than some of the other guys. I am sure his versatility was a key to his signing. You want your game day actives to participate on specials and back up several positions.

What is your beef with Boiman?

He had a rep as a bit of a pass rusher in college.

Ummm let's see... We went from 3 kickers making 71% of their kicks to a guy who's got the highest FG percentage in NFL history. I'd say it's not an issue.

Hell, someone get me a job at ESPN. Not only can I spew the same obvious garbage Clayton does on an hourly basis, but I am one of only 3 men alive who can correctly diagram a 30-yard slant.

I've seen this referenced a lot here. No doubt it's a fantastic inside joke that was held sometime during one of my absenses. Please enlighten.

...some of the articles have been so fluffy, this one included, I'm surprised that they haven't focused on Vandy's age or the fact that he choked in one of the biggest games for Indy.

Oddly, for one of the biggest signings of the offseason and the price paid, we haven't had more articles about the negative aspects of Vanderjagt.

It's probably because he is Canadian.
