Had the pleasure of meeting Charles Haley today

That's pretty cool man! Hopefully he didn't put his junk on anybody's desk

" swing high, swing low, sweet chariot........."

Everything you said is 100% accurate. I suppose I was alluding more to his passion for the game. Everyone remembers how he smashed locker room walls with his helmet while the team impatiently waited for Jerry to get off his butt and resign Emmitt. That passion doesn't exist on the current team.

Sure it does. People just call it unprofessional or throwing others under the bus.

Agree BF but it's a shame that we are already looking to 2025 for solutions.

For a second, I thought you were calling @Bullflop your BoyFriend.

He was at my place of work today and walked over to me to introduce himself. Like I didn't recognize him..... lol. Very well spoken, super nice man. Unfortunately It was a very brief meeting as he had an entourage with him and was obviously headed to another event of some sort. I suggested he fix the defense and he asked "me"? We spoke quickly about the game last night. Lets just say he wasn't impressed with the game last night, but concluded the conversation with "a win is a win".

I have to say it was the highlight of my day, month, and year. Wish I had more time to get a photo with him but he was in a hurry.

This team will never go anywhere until they can find another Charles Haley. I really miss watching him play.

It's always great meeting those guys..especially when they come across as regular people. I've been fortunate in that regard. I don't care how old you are, its pretty cool.

By many accounts, Charles Haley was a menace in the locker room. He got away with it because he was also a menace on the field. Jimmy was warned not to trade for him but he did anyway and focused on the menace on the field part. I'm not sure how Switzer handled him. The locker room basically fell apart under Switzer.

As someone said, Haley settled once he started taking medication for bipolar disorder. I think he has been a solid spokesman for mental health but I haven't much followed Haley since his playing days.

I love him but not in that way...

One plays offense. One plays defense. #56. #58.
They're practically twins...lol/smh
You must've bumped your head.

I did

Man! we need a lot just having come out of a draft.

That's what happens when the veteran free agency acquisition is limited to tier-3 signings.

Signing old, injured and unfit players is a waste. Being "unable to afford" real talent is a lie.

True -- being more proactive in veteran free agency could likely resolve that.

Jerry & Son don't know shame -- it's actually more about saving money.

Not even sure if it is about saving money, I honestly believe that they just have zero ability to run this franchise at today's level of comp.

One of my all time favorite Cowboys. I would’ve been stoked as well. Haley was able to lead like that because he had a coach just as firey. I often wonder if Jimmy put him up to his outburst when he punched a hole in the locker room wall and yelled “sign Emmitt!”

Roids.

They have Will McClay at their disposal -- pretty sure he'd be able to scrape up guys to fill in. Letting Armstrong go was a mistake.

Jed doesn’t see himself as the problem, so will never actually hire real football people to run things.

I remember the time that Jed came into the league and became very good friends with his mentor Al Davis.

Could’ve been hemroids. I wouldn’t know.

Some of the so-called "insiders" claim it's Stephen that now has the duties previously had by Jerry. If anything, that's even worse.

I used to believe that but when I heard that they could have spent 20 million on a free agent IF they signed Dak and Ceedee when they should have, I figured saving the 20 million made sense

Jerry would walk 10 miles to get a 25 cent hot dog......they simply pocketed the 20 million
