You mean, it felt weird to go visit a team you hate when you play them? Makes sense to me.

Maybe because JJ is a creepy old man? Or Red is a HC that isn't really viewed very positively these days? Let's face it, other than the circus like stadium, what does this franchise really have going for it? I love the Cowboys and have since 1978 but a guy like this couldn't care less about the glory days. We're just another team and have been for quite some time. He was probably in 1st grade (or so) when we last won the super bowl in '95. Ancient history.....sad but true.

It felt weird because he's used to playing in a toilet surrounded by a bunch of drunken slob morons who can't read or write. It makes perfect sense that he would want to go back there and play

I would rather have him than Claiborne, Hall or Robinson.

They are all about the same to me. Some corner. Not good, hence still available.

Since it is such an OMG passing league, and you can never have enough corners, why were they available?

It was just a strange article.

I would understand if Long visited and said he "felt weird".

Nolan Carroll felt weird. Who felt weird?

Nolan.

What? Who?

Nevermind.

Actually, I understand why Carroll felt weird. The problem is the author trying to tie that to there being something offputting to free agents about Dallas when this is clearly a case of a player feeling strange about visiting a team that had been his rival. I guess in the writer's mind, Long and Moore must have felt weird, too, since they chose not to sign. I'm surprised he didn't make more out of Long not even showing up for dinner. That's how offputting coming to Dallas must have been for him.

If Dallas had thrown enough money at any of those players, that weird feeling would have gone away. Instead of looking at the fact that Jones is no longer the top bidder in FA, some have to come up with a reason why FA no longer want to come to Dallas.
