while i am happy he is reinstated for our team, the guy did some bad stuff so lets not act like hes a choir boy....if he has turned his life around and is on a different path than great, we should all get behind him.

however, i would be very surprised if he is able to beat out any of the young guys for a spot on the team...sure hes still young by normal standards but hes over the hill in nfl terms and has been out of the league 5 years....that's an eternity.

hope, but be reasonable....chances are very slim like 5% that this guy does anything worthwhile for the cowboys.
Which is why he was reinstated.

He doesn't have the normal wear and tear that players his age have. So I'm not concerned about his age. I'm more concerned about how long its been since he played. Nobody takes 5 years off from anything and picks it up right where they left off.

Just allowed back in the league and already better than Tonka Truck Lawrence.

Now I will sit back and watch the sensitive members get defensive and tell me how great Lawrence is. Ready, set, go!!

Hyperbole or truth????

Now we can talk about what he might be able to do in camp and in actual games. Wonder if his warrior workouts can translate into success on the field.

I get all the skepticism, believe me I do, but he's going to prove you all wrong. Come back player of the year. Aldon Smith is from another planet - he could have been one of the best of all time, I'm not kidding. He reminds me of Reggie White. I don't expect that kind of play anymore, but he's still going to be a dominant player.

This is in Spanish but check it out.



The way he just shoves aside 320 pound lineman is unreal.

Yeah I've heard that too but never given a reason why. What on earth has Gregory done?

Here's my theory about Randy and of course I could dead wrong......is it possible the Goodell is asking Randy for clean piss/urine before considering his request? That's not to say he won't fall under the non-suspension guidelines of the new CBA ONCE he's reinstated but I can't imagine Goodell letting him in with a dirty test. Hell wouldn't that mean he would hit the ground with a fine? The difference between he and Smith is Aldon's been sober for 8+ months. We've seen nothing to suggest Randy has ever stopped smoking weed for an extended period. Traces are in the system how long, 60 days?

Bottom line, I'm guessing Goodell is requiring a clean test and Randy can't stop smoking long enough to give him one.
