Did you hear the one about Garrett transitioning to a female? Instead of Jason he's going to call himself Jasmine.
As long as she can coach better than Jason I am all for it.

Well said. Florio's interview on the Fan this morning...LOL "Well Zeke is telling people he IS holding out" and then says "Well Zeke MAY hold out". Two different things Mike!Please quit believing and repeating rumors that have no supporting evidence.
The National Media loves to attach the Cowboys to stories as click-bait.
The fact that other media jump on the same rumor to discuss it, does NOT make the rumor valid.
The internet and social media can make it appear that a rumor has multiple sources confirming it;
however, most often a rumor has 1 source and many people just repeat it including other media.
There are many sports websites that literally just repeat news from other sources.
Sometimes they give credit to the original source but often they don't.
We've seen many times that a National Media source has an article "Calvin Hill of the Fort Worth Star Telegram reports..."
Often it was just an Opinion by Calving Hill but they present it as if it's fact.
If Zeke is really going to hold-out, somebody in the local DFW media will find out and comment about it. At that point it might be worth discussing; however, the National Media reports literally mean nothing.
The local reporters need to maintain a level of professionalism because they must have some amount of access to the local teams they cover in order to do their jobs.
The National Media often has no downside to telling completely fabricated stories.
Bingo!My first reaction when I heard it was, 'I bet this is Florio.' Then I thought, if I'm Zeke's representatives, I float this to get the conversation off of the story of the battery charges. It costs you nothing, and maybe it jumpstarts the contract extension conversations. By the time camp rolls around, Zeke can say 'I'm a team player and decided not to hold out' and he looks like a good guy for it.
He's not holding out when they have Dak and Amari's contracts a year ahead of him. That's unreasonable. What he will do is make some noise about it so that next year he can hold out and look like he's taking the moderate path.
Bah Humbug!!! What else are we gonna do in the off season? Don't take it so serious.

Media posts something positive about the Cowboys = PROOF!
Media posts something negative about the Cowboys = fake news
Got it. Confirmation bias at its finest.
Prolly cuz' of the actually real secondary after effects a particularly virulent falsehood of a blatantly fictitious s*** stirring/"hit the click" traffic generator can quickly go off the rails in some loose hinged fan of the #21's wheelhouse ,in where thru a series of ever devolving& deeper despondency the "Mr. rattle latch" possibly causes harm to others or to himself in hearth& home,,,er,,,or maybe not,as ya just never know,,,er,,,ya know,Jake?The Cowboys haven't played a game in 6 months and people are tired of having the same arguments about Dak.
Who cares what someone else reacts to and discusses?
I'm still waiting for the Garrett sucks thread! Lol!!!Have you checked out that Zeke thread? Yikes man there’s a lot of hate in that thread... Cringe worthy stuff over some article written by Florio who has been pushing a zeke narrative since March. He’s now written 4 articles on it.
I'm still waiting for the Garrett sucks thread! Lol!!!
Fish is an attention *****.You’re “pretty sure”?
National media rumors are true way more often than you’re giving them credit for. The ‘sources’ these guys have that local people don’t are the agents of the players. I guarantee that’s Adam Shefter’s entire Rolodex, how he gets the info on these contracts seemingly before the nfl itself does.
On top of that, if this was blatantly false, Zeke’s agent would have squashed it IMMEDIATELY. His reputation is on the line with every single article written about Zeke’s contract. They’ve been quiet because whatever they want to say is already out there.
I agree. If he holds out I think it will be next year but even then the Cowboys have said they are going to sign him so I'd be surprised even then. This is just more tabloid journalism.My first reaction when I heard it was, 'I bet this is Florio.'
