David Irving failed a drug test and is now facing a suspension

[Deep_Freeze]

Not funny, but Dallas could hold it's own weekly AA meetings...

Probably more of NA than AA.

Problem is narcotics, not alcohol.

In this case it's neither.

The failed test stems from a supplement he took in connection with a marketing deal, per the NFL Network.

It would be the fourth consecutive year the Cowboys have opened the season missing a key suspended defensive player dating back to Orlando Scandrick in 2014, Rolando McClain and Greg Hardy in 2015 and DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory and Rolando McClain in 2016.

Of all the cooked up stories I've heard for failing a PED test, this takes the cake

I don't know, they all seem to be crying in their beer, now.

 

[DeaconMoss]

He was just gonna get in the way of Charles Tapper anyway.

Actually I think Taco is better as a left end. This speeds up his process.

At work so i couldn't read through all pages but, what is his agent doing? Irvin probably didn't work out the endorsement deal all by himself, that's what an agent is for. You would have thought the agent would say "hey before taking this stuff on a constant basis, lets make sure its approved by the NFL." Isn't that their job, to look out for client interest?

Who know what's on their mind.

Probably just a bunch of tacos.

Spiked vitamins......

Maybe we should have doubled down on pass rushers in this past draft. Sigh.

We need to keep drafting DE's until

a) we have guys who don't have serious back issues,
b) won't get suspended for taking illegal substances
c) both

 

[tyke1doe]

I just don't think we needed to do that. We still got numbers there, and we lost alot more in the secondary. Besides, 4 games isn't the end of the world.

But if it's PEDs, will it impact his effectiveness as a pass rusher?

 

[CCBoy]

Now, what appears to be an accidental violation by Irving could end up costing the Cowboys defense dearly this upcoming season. It’s the kind of mistake America’s Team has had to deal with far too often in recent years. And with Irving only on a one-year deal in Dallas, this accident could have just cost him a lot of money next season.

d) we hit on a "War Daddy"

7 short years and you still apparently don't understand what 'RKG' means or how it applies to the Cowboys. Let's set aside the fact that a supplement issue is not necessarily an indication that football is not important to David Irving.

As far as 'nothing to show for it' goes, it looks like you're also unsurprisingly out of touch with the quality of the current roster.

Did we win the SB in the off season lol?

garrett and Jerry homies/apologists unite !!

d) we hit on a "War Daddy"

That has the secret sauce he found in a glory. hole

 

[TheCount]

If you were playing Madden and the game kept telling you that your players were getting suspended/injured year after year like this, you'd throw the controller and say the game was cheating.

The Cowboys dline needs to do a "Smokin in the Boys Room" remix video.

Nobody said we won a Superbowl. You said we had 'nothing to show' for the Garrett years, and my point was that the team had improved during that time to the point where it's a legitimate contender when it was not in 2010.

 

[zrinkill]

Poor Taco is gonna be peer pressured into getting suspended 4 games so he can be part of the DE rotation.

That is how you become one of Jerry's kids and keep your job on the cowboys.

 

[Risen Star]

But why? We have Calvin Hill and this supposedly crack staff that is supposed to keep these special kind of problem children on the straight and narrow.

Face it, this will continue as long as Jerry Jones endorses, condones and enables dumb players.

Post of the thread right here.

The lunatic owner enables the players.

What rookie started on defense week 1? I'll wait...

If you're going to be a ****** at least know what you're talking about

Oh so now it's week 1.....way to change it. Collins and Brown both started last year on defense
