News: Official: Randy Gregory suspended 10 more games

[MichaelWinicki]

im pretty sure that the majority here empathizes with Randy, and its no different than what Randle did. but the bottom line is their actions hurt the team and angered the fans. its like a betrayal coming from them.

The thing is, he came into the league with this mindset, it's not like it should have been a big surprise to anyone.

Well said. Having a perspective that shows empathy and support is a rarity around here anymore.
Reading through this forum today is pretty depressing. I hope the majority of people don't share the cold, cruel, lack of understanding and empathy that is on ugly display on this forum recently.
Maybe we are as bad as Eagles fans after all. not a good look my fellow cowboys fans.

Im used to the people that obviously post from a place of anonymity. Its the internet afterall. Within that context though, this place often stands out as bad.

if the posts about Gregory bother you, then you can just delete them or ban the discussion. What do you expect fans to do, be happy a high draft pick gets booted out of the league for a season?

As mad as I am, im more mad at this organization for wasting a pick on this clown. I don't wish him any ill will and I hope he gets cleaned up but i'd rather it be somewhere else.

truth is we should be more angry toward Jerry for picking this fool instead of taking it out on Randy. I wish the reporters would hold Jerry's feet to the fire on this.

Your right Jerry took a chance on this kid and gave him an opportunity that others were not willing to give. When it backfires on Jerry then fans are going to be upset by the same token should Gregory get his act together and come in and show the talent that most every scout saw will people then feel different about it?

I'm disappointed with Gregory... I'm not mad at him because is what he is.

The Cowboys took a chance on the pick and so far it failed.

And whatever they (the Cowboys) did after the draft to help him, obviously didn't work.

In related news, Josh Gordon announced today that he's checking into in-patient rehab yet again.

Wow, after all the hype with him coming back and how he's changed. That's surprising news. I guess it shouldn't be with that dude.

Here's to Randy taking a good, long look at Josh and seeing what can happen if you don't tow the line.

Do many folks simply "cut & paste" their Randy Gregory posts from one thread to another?

Seems to be the case.

Mods - please move this thread to the GregoryForum.

j/k...

No, because the chance of that happening was always low, meaning it wasn't a responsible decision even if he gets lucky and it pans out. It's just as likely, or more, to go to hell as is currently happening.

 

[Trouty]

You would think all those ball players would see numerous examples of players before them that lost it all and use it as motivation to do good. Yet every year some player risks it all to do things their way (whether right or wrong) at the risk of losing it all.

All these dudes messing up should serve as a warning for the next class of rooks, yet next year and the year after etc, you can bet on these same sort of stories going down. Some people just won't have it, and must do things their way.

3rd year rookie next year. But he will most likely fail another test next year. Which will be a full season. The odds of him having an NFL career is so slim. And Jerry outsmarted the league on this guy.

 

[Trouty]

Some post out of frustration... some out of ignorance.

And some out of drunkenness <sheepishly raises hand> jk... kinda

meanwhile Lane Johnson keeps playing.

His appeal date is in Oct, right? So if he loses, he's gonna be out for the middle chunk of their season

 

[drawandstrike]

Johnson is a frickin' REPEAT violator. He was suspended 4 games 2014. This is his second time being caught taking illegal PED's.

The whole thing is infuriating.

 

[links18]

Well..

By next year Trump will be President and Texas will join Cali and Colorado legalizing pot.

I can dream, right?

Randy Gregory is clearly voting for G. Johnson.

 

[gimmesix]

This is good news. Mara asked that he be suspended for life.

I hadn't heard they set a date yet, only that he appealed. I won't be surprised if he plays the first 6 weeks before it is settled
