I hope these Rookies Bring some Attitude to Dallas

[superpunk]

If you're looking for "fire", I'm assuming you're hankering for on-field celebrations and mayhaps a little showboating? That's not going to come from rookies trying to make their way in the league.

If nothing else it's going to come from Parcells being gone. Parcells would not show up an opponent, and he would not tolerate his players doing the same. Hence the ratio of ******** celebratory daisy-chains dropped dramatically on the Dallas Cowboys. Perhaps with Wade they'll be free to do whatever they want. He certainly didn't mind Merriman acting like a gigantic infant with back spasms in san diego.

But it's not likely to come from the rookies.

This kid gets skinnier and lighter every day. He's supposed to be 182 now. But that's just from reading the internet. May by he's 160 but that is skin-ney.

With the Ball kid, he's 6'1" about 182 pounds.

Ball weighed 168 at a bowl game. That was red flag, but we looked and he had a stomach flu so you can throw that out. He's a skinny guy so he has some work to do.

Of course that's what they mean. The last time the 'boys showboated, it was Ratliff acting like he was trying to revive Ware after his TD in the endzone. Got a penalty. TO used the football for whatever celebration that was. Got a penalty.

I've seen the guys celebrate and show fire after a play. I'm not sure where there was this idea that guys were robots under Parcells. I think people forget about how some of them would do that jump thing after a big play.

So when some say they want fire, what do they want?

I agree.

Haahahha that is a "funny" in my book... :laugh1::laugh1:was it Faust who said that, or Einstein; I forgot.

what are you talking about? why does playing with emotion automatically make you a criminal?

How did you glean that he meant that thugs=emotion? Wow, take it easy.

are there any pics of this Alan Ball guy? or Courtney Brown or Deon Anderson? haven't seen many pics of our draft pics yet

agreed. That is one of the few "earn your stripes" type of traditions that I like.

That, and tea-bagging; Haha just KIDDING!! Aahhh, football hazing memories.... The varsity team chased me and my friend home my freshman year. It's funny now, but it sucked then. It seems like the tradition the Cowboys have is much better than the one I endured.

I honestly don't know much about the whole "earning your star" tradition we have, but it sounds like an amazing tradition that I hope the Cowboys keep.
