You did have me on ignore for a little while.

Then sent me an "I'm sorry" message to my inbox after you took me off ignore.

Tell the whole story now, Ranch.
I did....I am sorry that I didn't keep you there...I admire your tenacity, I'll give you that. But, sometimes you are over the top and it now seems that you only do it to provoke negativity and hijack threads. It always leads to Dak and Zeke hate.
And, I did apologize because I got roped in and said some things that I probably shouldn't have.

Hey.

I don't like anchors on my team.

Dak and Zeke are/were anchors.

There's names on the back of a Cowboys jersey to me. Nothing more.

No one does....doesn't mean we ha e to bash them with every single post. I have eyes and I know Zeke was losing it and Dak played horribly down the stretch....but crying and hating and turn every thread negative isn't gonna a do anything but continue ruining this site

Some of us like complaining about the Cowboys.

Some of us like to complain about people complaining about the Cowboys.

We all complain. I just chose to make it about the Cowboys instead of other posters.

To be fair, at least 90% of your posts provoke negativity and are off the topic of the thread.

Most definitely a pot/kettle thing going on here. Just because you view yourself as a good guy, doesn't mean your brand of negativity is any better than the brand of negativity you feel you are fighting against.

Be honest. You could have easily avoided this thread but you chose to enter it and engage.

I think complaining about people complaining about the Cowboys is worst than complaining about the Cowboys.

At least I keep things on topic.

I wouldn't have given Zeke that contract, but I don't blame him at all for seeing the future and cashing in on the only chance he had.

“Always will be”?

Sounds like if people have nothing to disparage Dallas with, they’ll drag this out. Reserve negativity ammo?

Dallas wins the Super Bowl, Eeyores are silent for a few days, then, “this is the team that overpaid Zeke Elliott!”

I'll own that....I get provoked by this stuff because I lived it up close and personal for 30 years. It pissed me off any time I heard a fan talking crap about my players. I was OK when they bashed me, but I always protected my players. I know it's not the same thing, but I still see it that way.

Bring that up when we win the Super Bowl then you can have your moment.

Yup.

He got paid and I'm not mad at that, get your money if you can, but I cringe anytime I see someone call him a "team player" as if he didn't hold out with 2 years left on his contract.

I guess I missed the memo that I need to pretend to be upset that he's no longer an anchor on this team.
Emmitt held out till 2 weeks into the season. You must really hate him too...

Emmitt didn't regress every single year, took his job seriously, and was a winner.

If Zeke did all that maybe he would've been worth some of that money.

He can't help himself....makes him feel tough. Get out while you can, he'll hook you with his trolling. I would put him on ignore, but he's too entertaining and comical.
Well

I do not like the guys who constantly hate the players on this team.

I also do not like the guys who defend Jerry and the players who played poorly on this team.

I hate the extremes on both sides.

As I said before.

If you'd like to participate in the fake sadness of seeing him go you can do that over on the appreciation thread.
Lol If I cared enough to take your opinion into consideration perhaps I would. But by all means hate on

Does your employer feel the same way about you? God forbid, someone would feel the same towards you.
