Yep, just google Jerry Jones and Dead$pin.

If those are real, good gosh almighty. Get ready for another Jerry national crap storm.

If not, he needs to sue them for all they're worth.

I hope Goddell suspends Jerry for this, then we'll have to hire a GM. A blessing in disguise!

When people report false information about Broaddus you should expect some questioning of your veracity.

So you are saying that they claimed he told the trainers the injury was real and then without reevaluating him they contradicted him and told him to go back out there anyway before practice was over?

I am going to see if they have a podcast so I can listen myself.
They did reevaluate him. I didn't explicitly state it but it was implied. It is what I heard and apparently what the OP heard. You can deny it all you want. I don't really care.

For the sake of the team I hope he can be an answer. Other than that I don't have a stake in it. I'm not trying to be right, prove anyone's evaluations wrong or prove I know something others don't. I doubt the OP was either.

We will find out in a few days.

This is usually the case.

I haven't said much on the topic, but I don't have high hopes for McClain in the first place because of all the baggage. I hope he sorts it out and it works for Dallas, but I'm not counting on it. But, even if it does work out, it probably won't be without hiccups, and it's too soon to know if this is an actual hiccup or not, anyway. We just have to wait and see.

i don't think you know how to imply something.

You are the only one saying this and I don't know you. Might as well say that you don't care if anyone believes you. You certainly do not give much reason to.

Trainers have cleared Rolando McClain to practice, but he refuses to do so. They've told him he's fine, just sore.

This guy could make a huge difference if his heart is in it, but it doesn't look like it is.

Not sure this guy's worth the trouble, even with his talent.

So what now?

Forget Rolando. He might half a valid reeson.
The real question in this is: WHOSE IN CHARGE????

So that I'm clear, because I didn't see any of this actually clarified in this thread.


McClain was cleared by the team doctors and trainers...

Erod is posting saying Fisher said McClain refused to practice.

According to other reports McClain came out and attempted to practice and then went back in?

Broaddus never seemed to back up what was said only said "You must be listening to 105.3"

Is that the gist of what this is about?

So McClain was cleared for YESTERDAY's practice, went out and didn't feel right, and went back in. That doesn't appear to be a refusal to practice but I wasn't there and I'm not McClain. He could have went out and faked an attempt and said it didn't feel right and went back in or he could have honestly not felt right about how his body felt. I don't know. I will have to defer to him on that.


Either way it appears that what was initially posted here, and Fisher claimed, wasn't entirely accurate or investigated and instead was immediately pumped out in order to get a story going. Which is typical media in all forms about anything.

Obvviously...the media.

If he indeed is just reluctant to work my prediction is for Garrett and Jerra to say:

"He's intelligent. His work ethic is beyond question. He just needs to sort some things out first and we expect big things from him in 2014.

:rolleyes:

  • Rolando McClain's leg injuries might have come at a bad time. He hurt a hamstring Sunday and a quadriceps on Monday. It's apparent that in their words and actions, the Cowboys have a big plan for McClain. It showed up when he practiced as the second-team middle linebacker on the first day of camp. It showed up with Stephen Jones calling him one of the early surprises. It showed up with Jason Garrett saying positive things. It showed up when he took some first-team snaps at middle linebacker last week. I wonder if the Cowboys are doing everything they can to make sure he's the Mike on opening day. And I wonder what it means for [SIZE=+0]Bruce Carter[/SIZE]. He was sent to the sidelines with [SIZE=+0]Justin Durant[/SIZE] taking over as the weakside linebacker with McClain in the middle. The Cowboys said they are just looking at different combinations, but it was interesting -- at least to me anyway -- that Carter was the first one bumped, not [SIZE=+0]Kyle Wilber[/SIZE]. That shows you what the Cowboys are thinking on Wilber, too.

Wilber/McClain/Durant? I wouldn't overly upset with that.


We will find out in a few days.


Maybe even today if he practices or not

Ugh. I just glanced. Man, that's going to make for a very unhappy wife.
