instead of worrying about the cowboys and our qb situation, worry about the 30+million going to qbs. philly radio guy voice is the worst too, they always have that jersey accent and mouth filled with cheese steak sound to them.

I listen to other cities radio shows when we play them the upcoming week..... Josh Innes and his show is by far the worst own I've heard. I'm not even sure what they are. They never spew facts. Just opinions based on nothing and they spew Cowboys hate despite not even really hating them just trying to get Philly people to listen.

Because I'm not one of those who can't handle dissenting opinions. Bring it on.

I've called in a few times and gotten into it with several of their hosts. They have nothing to say when I tell them how many likes I have here.

I'm sure I can handle dissenting opinions. I just don't have any desire to learn what a crappy team with an empty trophy case has to say about my team.
Living near the DC area, hearing the local broadcast before DirecTV and NFL Network, I used to listen to Frank Howard and Sonny Jurgenson. Sonny
was always drunk. They did a lot of talking about nothing and called it Commanders football.

Funny story... during a game broadcast locally, Howard (I think it was him) would say " Sonny, its 3rd and 13 here. What do you think the Commanders should do?"
You could hear the ice rattling around in his glass, and then Sonny would say "Punt."

Just reported at WIP Philly sports radio on the Josh Innes show. In the middle of laughing at us for taking a RB when Romo only has a year left, two at the most, Allbright said he had "friends who were there" and Garrett wanted Ramsey but Jerry overruled him.

Peter King must have missed this.

Are these guys the same ones who last year said Bradford is the best QB in the division?

He "had friends there"....

Source is credible.

My friend was there too, he was the one with the long hair always on the phone, he was apparently calling in the picks, but reality is he was talking to me telling me everything happening, and that didnt happen.

So why does this title read fake rumor?

If a source says something negative about about the Cowboys it's clearly fraudulent.

Now, if a source that Jerry is respected by his NFL peers, Jason Garrett is the second coming, or anything else rosy about the Cowboys, it's validation.

Duh...

Yet all of the evidence refutes every bit of his anecdotal story.

From King's account, to the video of the draft room, to his reaction to the pick.

And even if he was for Ramsey, he is the coach...not the GM. He is one voice in the room...probably with more clout but not the only voice.

Somehow...it just sounds ridiculous that the one player that could most help Garret win now...he would be against. Yet he was totally on board with Jaylen..lol

I heard the same thing. Albright clearly said Jones overruled Garrett. Now maybe he misspoke.

And there was only one media person in Philly who said Bradford was the best QB in the NFC East. Howard Eskin. And he's an Eagles mouthpiece:

This story is pap for Eagles fans/some sorry Cowboys fans. It has no bearing on anything and runs counter to everything Garrett has had to say publicly about Elliott since the pick was made. It's a complete non-issue.

To be fair, we don't know that it's a fake rumor. I didn't title it that way.

I don't believe it but can I say it's absolutely not true? No.
