well there. some people will have xmas early this year.

 

[Future]

I can't even do anything but laugh...

...it's a shame that it ended this way. There wasn't a better Cowboy than him in his prime.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Probably the best move from an all bad situation.

Makes me sad, but I might be on an island with that feeling..

 

[Machete]

he's laughing all the way to the bank.

Cowboys didn't cut jay. Jay cut himself

Makes me sad, but I might be on an island with that feeling..

I'm right there with you.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Finalizing his interview with the Steelers right now.

i wish he could have come back and been the player we loved for so long. i'm not sure the motivations behind this but i hate to lose him. if you're on an island, you're not alone. i just know many have been calling for his head for whatever xyz reason they had in their pocket.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Noooooo! Who will replace him? We need an All-Pro superstar like him!

 

[Mattsdad]

About 6 months too late.

No you aren't. I hate seeing it end like this. Rat was one of my favorites but these last couple of years has been aggravating for the franchise.

 

[CowboyManDan]

What a jerk!

 

[BAZ]

Championship.

 

[VACowboy]

Any idea what went on that brought things to this point?

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

When will we finally get to hear just what the heck was going on behind the scenes here?

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I said in December of last year or so, he would never suit up for the Cowboys again. You just can't get physical with owners if you are a football player. Can't do that.

 

[rcaldw]

We need him big time. But if we can't get him on the field I don't know what else one would do? Is there more to the story as to why he wasn't on the field? If not, then I don't think the Cowboys had much choice.
