Many of you already know this but orc Al Davis got into some tiff with Marcus Allen and even refused to play Marcus for a long stretch - right in the middle of Allen's prime.
We are talking about burying a HALL-OF-FAME BACK - over a contract. Humans engage in contentious contract negotiations-and forgive. Al Davis has a contract dispute and is henceforth never human to the player.
Not only did Davis penalize his own team and fans by depriving them of their best back but Davis pulled tons of petty crap on Allen. Marcus was pure class handling it and still won't talk much of it today, but reports by teammates and coaches tell it all. As powerful as Davis was--he remains the smallest man in Cali.
Well we know that Jerry has picked up strange pets in his day, and defended them irrationally. I'm just wondering if this is the beginning of a case where the irrationality is punitive and Barber gets some raw treatment.
In this case over absolutely no issue at all, merely one Jerry contrived in his own head.
Don't confuse any of this with my feelings about Tashard Choice. I think he's a great player, as is Felix. I'm glad the Cowboys have all of them. But Marion is the workhorse and he brings a special dimension.
