I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the contributions on here. Even the negative comments...:laugh:..

We have 4 weeks and 3 days until the team reports to TC. It is going fairly quick so far.
I was thinking a few days ago, how 30 years ago, 25, heck even 20 of how long, very long the off season was. Or seemed to be with minimal info out there.

After the SB, we got nothing, unless you was local, you had to wait for any news, which was not a lot. Especially pre free agent time period. Then the draft came along, and you had to rely on the papers for any info. I remember looking through the Palm Beach Post, and the USA Today transaction sections, and waiting for the yearly NFL magazines to come out after the draft.
Which the Palm Beach Post at the time had one of the best sports section I had seen up to that point, mid 80's to late 90's when I lived there.

Then we got nothing until TC started, then it was still mostly local stuff about the Dolphins...argh...
With the internet taking off, it helped, and now with discussion forums. it is almost information overload.
By that, I mean 25 years ago, I would read anything I could find, as it was still just getting started. Now there is too much out there to read at times. Which is great.

And then we have the Cowboys Zone, and when there isn't a lot of news or articles out there, you can always find tidbits in here still, even if good or bad opinions depending who and what you agree or disagree with. It is something to help pass the time.

So thanks to all.

I'd also like to commend the administrators as well as the staff here for their supervision of our members' posting habits. I've frequented other websites in the past that had no restraint for the abusive posts of their membership. This one does a good job in that regard. Thanks for that.

I like this site. There are definitely people FAR more knowledgeable than myself, and I learn something new almost everyday. That is great.

I appreciate the posters who don't take this too seriously. Some of you need to calm down a bit. Haha.

Seriously though... there is so much more info in the offseason these days... and of course CZ is by far the biggest part of that.

There are some posters on here that I've been talking with now for over a decade.

Some are really cool too, and I kind of consider them friends.

I wish I could be as humble as you, but the truth is, I have forgotten more about football than you people will ever know. It amazes me how I don't get 100 likes on every one of my threads. I should be getting paid to post here. You people better start appreciating me more, or else.....:rolleyes:

I'm so incredibly greatful to all of you for this site. All of you who post here, debate here, share with us here.

This site is one of a kind, much more depth here than on my Angels and Kings board. There's a real, tangible sense of community here and I adore it.

Reality, you have done a fantastic job. The mods here are exemplary. I love that the mods are a presence here and post as fans, rather than lurk and just fix things when stuff goes awry. They take what they dish, and I never feel spoken down to when engaging with a mod (except for Idgit, he's power-hungry and condescending :)).

The posters here make the site. In my opinion, there are posters here who could get hired in analytics for front offices or sports networks. We have some beautiful minds here. Quite a few, actually. And many, many beautiful spirits and souls. People that share intimate details of their lives and get beautiful feedback from other members. Stuff like that makes me smile.

Cheers, CZ!

I've already told you you're not supposed to mention me by name, Trouty. Don't make me exile you to the Rant Zone where you can only talk to CowboyRoy about how much he doesn't like Jason Garrett.
