DMN Blog: Jay Ratliff says Cowboys play for one another

[thisisepic]

Or maybe Ratliff is just too classy to call Jacobs the jerk that he is.

This.

Close, but CL salvaged it into a Jerry thread.

No, that was a Wade Phillips praise - not a Jerry slam.

DMN Blog: Jay Ratliff says Cowboys play for one another

Just so you know I post for all of you guys.

I think if I remember correctly they played together at auburn? Is that the connection.

Yep. It's the Auburn connection. And kudos to Rat for sticking by his friend. But it still sucks since Jacobs is such a public *** when it comes to the Cowboys. I'd never made the connection that the two played together, but it makes sense that they'd be and stay friends.

that true but i cant stand big mouth jacobs;

im just wondering though if ratliff knows that jacobs says he hates the cowboys and the fans, and he stomped on the star and players did things in the visitors locker room, anyway i sent jay an email letter;

Joe you are alright with me.

 

[xWraithx]

Joe you are alright with me.

:laugh2:

an "email letter" aka "telegram"

I'm sure Jay will have a great time trying to decrypt and translate it too

It is pretty clear Jacobs is just jealous of the Cowboys. He has said in fact that he hates us because even when they win a Super Bowl we get more attention than they do. Guy is in the biggest media market in the country and still whining, lol.

Ratliff isn't going to "hate" a former friend because he is jealous of his professional football team. I had real life friends play against the Cowboys and I never decided to hate any of them although they to a man they wanted to beat Dallas more than any other team.

Ratliff will gladly lay the hammer down on Jacobs when he comes through the line so he doesn't need to call him a jerk.

It is also fun hitting your friends. In fact it makes you try harder because you don't want to hear their traps if they do good against you.

I played with several players that got drafted by opposing teams and we are still friends. If a player is so shallow that a fan's email can sway their friendship, then that player really ain't worth much, imo.

It is a lot more fun to support a team that supports itself.

There have been times in the past when it seemed like the fans cared more about wins and loses than did some of the players.

Jay's head would probably explode if Joe quoted his friend Larry in the email letter.

I doubt that.

"remember if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter"

 

[ZeroClub]

I doubt that.

You can go ask Tank.

No matter who you ask, it is not true. You or any other fan don't have any skin in the game. Sorry you caring more just doesn't fly.

And the thought Tank didn't want some extra cash from a playoff game check is probably pretty absurd... even if he hated the team and couldn't wait to get away from it.

Most of us wanted a win in Philly pretty badly but I doubt many of us had 60k or so riding on it.

Not all of course, but I think Brooking brought a lot of this attitude to the team.

He says similar things when interviewed.

He is not the only one, but he has had an impact in the attitude and comradery of this team. IMO

I agree that Brooking brought that attitude with him, but I think it has more to do with whose gone (Tank, Pac, T.O) than who came in or personalities on this team changing.

Fans get carried away sometimes. I understand but sometimes a fan's perspective is far from reality.

Outside of monetary gain, there is all of the practice time and playing when most normal humans couldn't even walk. Yea some slob (no offense) sitting on his lucky couch while his wife and children are in the basement cares more? I don't buy it and never will.

So what happened with that plane ride back from Philadelphia last year? Or after the Rams game?

If you think everybody on that team last year cared all that much, you weren't paying attention.

What? After a loss do you want a player to fall on a sword? What did you do to show how much you cared? Did you cry? Kick your dog? What?
