News: DMN: Ex-Cowboys CB Brandon Carr reveals what was 'pretty much' the deciding factor in

[khiladi]

I grew up a Cowboys fan, but when it comes to millions, count me as one of those guys that say ".. but it's a business"

 

[Sarge]

Money talks................

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

I get why players don't come out and say it was about the money. It puts a bad taste in the mouth of fans who want to believe their beloved team is special. Fans want the game to be about loyalty and RKGs and love of city. But it's almost always about the money.

 

[erod]

Whatever. He can't even spell car right.

LOL

Just like Flacco, Harbaugh, and Suggs. He'll fit in nicely there.

 

[CWR]

Meh, Carr was a good Cowboy. He wasnt great but he was solid for the most part and dependable. It sounds to me like he is trying to sound excited and paint a positive picture in playing for Baltimore. Obviously money talks but I think its fairly clear hed rather have been paid in Dallas, again.

For all of us yearning for that big free agent more often than not Carr's game is more in line with what you get in FA. I suppose thats the problem (often times) when you pay for past production. Dont get me wrong Id be ecstatic to get a stud in FA.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Does he think we are all idiots?

 

[Wood]

"The tradition here, the defense, the dominance, just the mentality." per Carr.

So why were receivers allowed to run routes unabated inside whenever they wanted against Carr. Where was the mentality?

 

[dwreck27]

Wish he would cut the bull/ PC talk and say it was the money

 

[AsthmaField]

"pretty much" the deciding factor, huh?

Pretty much... that's one of those phrases that seems harmless. "[shrug] I'm pretty much done cutting the grass."

But when used in a different context: "Congratulations, it's a boy... [shrug] pretty much."

Yeah, well that's different.

[MileyDancer]

Who is this guy?

 

[iceberg]

so he took money toward the end of his career and is complimentary of his new employer.

got it.

I wish once, just 1 frickin' time, a player would be honest & say " Hey, it's all about the money, nothing else".

 

[TwentyOne]

I wish once, just 1 frickin' time, a player would be honest & say " Hey, it's all about the money, nothing else".

Deion Sanders once said after he refused to make a tackle in a game: "It was a business decission".

He was demolished by the public and fans for this comment. And i believe alot of Cowboys fans still love to hate him because of that comment too.

So i understand your wish. But its also the public that doesnt accept the truth.
We want to have heros. Especially in football - a very scarcifying AND a team sport - we dont want people who handle this sport as a business also and act selfish.

But the truth is: Still those people have moral and character. They just priorize them better.

In the last 5 years I hit on more lotto tickets than this guy has interceptions

Good one. Well done and so true

 

[Pants]

not his guys fault that Dallas gave him top dollar...I always liked him...also not his fault that there has never been a pass rush while he was here, so he had to cover longer....good business decision on both sides
