If I were Dak, I probably wouldn't be there either. Sometimes that's the respectful thing to do.

I noticed that also. Makes me hope that Free might consider coming back for one more year. He was the leader of that group, and received a lot more criticism than he deserved. Might still be better than any alternative we have at the moment.

If Romo's back would have held up, play-action pass would have absolutely destroyed teams last year!

As it turns out, he'll never know what it's like to have Zeke in his backfield.
At least the guy carrying the torch now can enjoy it.

I was riding my bike, so I missed the game. Did he actually play at all?

I don't know what friends you guys are talking about because that's not how I interpreted it at all.
I don't think those guys like Romo. And I think they like this Jello more than him.

Murray was a very good back but Zeke is special.

He had fun anyway.

Doug Free was there. I don't think he's retiring.

Pudge was the best catcher I've ever watched (as a division rival, I saw a lot of him). What a damn generational stud, JC. I'd take him over Piazza 10/10 times, and it pains me to say that as an Angels fan.
Modano killed my Kings when we were in the same division in those late 90s. The Stars had a great team, with Modano and Hatcher leading the way. Gosh, they killed us.
As for Romo and Co, team chemistry starts in the offseason. Even with Romo leaving, I think Romo's loss is galvanizing the team that much more. This is gonna be a great season if we can assemble a respectable D. Love seeing the boys (and Coach) smiling and enjoying their time with our Tony. Fans at that game had a hell of an experience.

Pudge is right near the top, in a very small group that could be called best all-around catchers of all time. Absolute lazar arm, cat-like fielder, strong game-caller, and a terror at the plate.
I'm biased toward the position...very under appreciated in general.

Absolutely, JC! His pickoff move to first was deadly. His arm and bat were deadly. His footwork behind the plate was elite. His pitch-framing, elite. Best we've seen in the last 30 years, easily. And no roid rumors like Piazza had floating around.
We have a defensive gem of a catcher in Maldonado on the Halos, and he isn't even as good as Pudge. Never mind the hitting aspect lol

Not taking anything away from Dak's year I just would have loved to see what he could have done. I'm thinking 2014 but with better results.

So what's your story, Trouty? Sounds like you live in California, right? And a fan of the Kings and Angels. So how did you become such a big Cowboys fan?

Wooten, yes, I'm in California (San Fernando Valley). I started watching the Boys in 1996, but not as a diehard (I would've been 12 going on 13). Their hype from the last few seasons is what drew me to them as I was just discovering football. I had watched the '93 and '95 Super Bowls but remember very little.
Then, one day in 7th grade (1997), a friend named Chad (who was a huge Broncos fan) asked me who I liked. I told him the Cowboys, and he said, "Oh yeah? Name me 10 players on the team." I couldn't. At that moment I became a diehard fan, and to this day I will always remember Chad's question as the impetus for my diehard fandom. I bled and breathed Cowboys through '97-2003. In school I was always the one, as it became, to question others fandom (kinda mean
).My marriage took a toll on my viewing arounding the latter time period as my then wife hated sports. Cut off from my Boys, baseball, hockey. "Happy wife, happy life" and all that, J.
So, fast fwd to 2010, after a 6-7 year hiatus of only being able to read about them online (lurked CZ like a mofo back then, even the early years of the site), catching maybe 3-4 games at most during a season, I was able to start following our beloved Boys as I had done as a preteen and teen and early adult.
