Well you said unprecedented which is false, not true and a lie.
For the Dallas Cowboys it's true, so accept it like a man and quit making false accusations. If you like how other teams run their business, go be their fan. Simple. Make a decision and quit whining. You don't look good.

You've only won 1. I wouldn't be talking. Your team is in no place to dictate to a 5 time SB winning franchise on how to run their business.

You've gotten all your success on rosters built prior to the free agency system. It's a different business than when you ran things in the East.

Willful ignorance about what? Introspection?

I would never be so arrogant to assume that other's don't self reflect; unlike you.

There is a difference between an assumption and an observation. Then of course you make my position into an absolute about everyone.

Keep it up, man. Like I said this is gold.

Dude, I’m just correcting your incorrect post. That’s all. Talking about manning up, jeez.

So you have an assumption I lack introspection?

Kudos for showing some humility about yourself.

If this is GOLD to you, then you must have a boring life.

Btw, is that last statement not an absolute?

:laugh:

It's gold because I have been laughing nonstop for about 5 minutes now. Reading your posts is like watching a Leslie Nielsen flick.

But hey at least you finally got the point. Now lets work on the difference between an observation and an assumption.

You said that Rock had to be miserable because of how they attacked people. Your oblivious to how your own worldview applies to yourself.

It is what it is.

Your white knighting for @Rockport is adorable. Ya'll should get a room.

Yes, when I see an individual continually lambasting others for being "negative" I interpret that as self loathing. Psychology 101.

I'm glad you're supposedly laughing "at my expense" though. It means you're in good spirits and aren't as cranky as I last recall.

What if a group is actually being malcontented? If you don't like it and speak out that means you hate yourself?

:lmao: Thanks Dr. Blake. More like excusemaking psychobabble 101.

Disagree. Zeke should play out this 4th year. He's scheduled to make $3.8 million. That's not chump change. He could easily renegotiate his contract a year from now before training camp starts. It would work out for both him and the team, but no, he's simply being greedy. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it. Quit making excuses for him. Excuses are what disloyal people create to cover up for their unwillingness to honor their original contract.


When you start commenting on someone eslse's income and making judgments on if it is enough, you cross the line. Sorry. This is his year to renegotiate.

This is not greed. This is confronting the way the team could take advantage if he doesn't do this.

Sorry, your comments are motivated by envy.

I prefer them to lol or lmao when I am laughing, yes. Is that a problem for you?

Not at all.

Curious if you're trying to compensate though, BUT I want to be careful to not speak in absolutes concerning you.

I've learned my lesson. ;)

Jane Slater reported this on NFLN. And she said is a reliable source.
The report came from a place a few minutes from The Star in Frisco, TX, and said it looked like Zeke just finished a workout.

It's only reliable to the public if it's a named source. Without a direct quote from someone directly involved in whatever the article is about then for all the public knows is it could be something made up. You may believe articles with unnamed sources but I don't. To many times unnamed sources have turned out to be someone telling a reporter something that they say was told to them by someone directly involved with the story and what that person told the reporter was either not all true or completely false.

This is a fan forum concerning the Dallas Cowboys, not the Ezekiel Elliotts. The team comes first. Always. Players come and go. Any player who wears the Star has a priviledge other players from other teams don't have. The rules were set a long time ago concerning contract extension negotiations during the last year of existing contracts. Not anytime sooner. That's how Aikman did it. That's how Emmitt did it, and that's how Romo did it. It was about mutual respect for the team and organization. Team precedent shouldn't suddenly be redone over 1 player. It sets the wrong precedent and headaches to come with other players in the near future.

As for your envy accusation, you know what to do with it.

And people talk about and make judgments of other's income and whether it's enough incessantly. No details because it's politics, but it's a major topic of discussion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
