If It Costs Too Much $$ To Pick In The Top Five, I Have a Question...

THAT was lame!

you got caught in the non risk takers web.

Obviously.

No, he got caught in the "I'm going to be a spelling police web" when in fact he just didn't know there are many alternate versions of the word and he got a chance to learn something.

Perhaps he had never heard of Edmund Spenser, nor his epic poem, and he probably had no idea Spenser was a contemporary of William Shakespeare, and I am quite certain that he has no idea that a character of that poem was named Braggadocchio who was known for having no sense of humor.

Ironic isn't it? Or do I need to explain irony?

well it does say he used it in his own sense so it wasn't officially a word then, i don't know about now though. but i'm no spelling champ either so go answer my question in your nephew thread.

The point is...I used that variation on purpose.

At present, we're ALL consumed with the tragedy of a contemporary character named Hostile. I can only imagine the Shakesperean dramas which could have been produced with this central character, none of which would have had a redemptive outcome.

"Tell me, Muse, of the man of many resources who wandered far wide after he sacked the holy citadel of Troy. And he saw the cities and learned the thoughts of many men, and on the sea he suffered in his heart many woes." --Homer, The Odyssey

Happy Birthday BTW. Lordy, lordy, look who's 40.

Here's hoping one day you will finally get over whatever it is I did that upset you so much so long ago. Or don't. I really don't care, because I can't even recall what it was.

Hey Hos,
Weren't you one of the ones, (including me), who were dead wrong about Romo? If I recall correctly you and I were on the Henson bandwagon. I venture to say you and I would have been pretty confident a couple of years ago betting our last savings that Romo wouldn't end up in the Pro Bowl in less than 2 years.

The point is, there are now at least a few respected writers and media types out there, (including Peter King today), predicting Jerry will make a deal to draft McFadden. That tells me there is legitimate talk about it in league circles and it's not just based on the mindless Arkansas connection. Adam Schefter even mentioned it tonight. He down-played it, but he did say the teams could attach their own worth to the value chart. So to call it a "sucker bet" might be a bit short-sighted.

Just saying...

I've been wrong on many players before. So has everyone who has ever loved the game and commented on it.

The Arkansas Connection to Jerry Jones has been debunked so badly it is amazing. I can't for the life of me figure out why people are still clinging to it. Homework...who was the last player Jerry Jones drafted from Arkansas and when was it?

By all means, feel free to cheat and look it up. I'll even help.

Cowboys Drafts

Jerry bought the team in 1989, so you only have 19 years of drafts to look up. Show me the Arkansas Razorbacks connection.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

#1 I SERIOUSLY doubt that Jerry was hoping for the Cleveland pick to be #1 overall. I doubt that he was hoping to pay that 60 million dollar contract for the first overall pick, unless he was looking to move down from 1 to about 4-5 and pick up Dmac anyway.

Now you are assuming that Dallas would have approached their offseason the same way if they had the top 5 pick in the draft. If they had a top 5 pick then you might not have seen some of the moves they made (Signing Thomas, franchising Hamlin, and tendering Barber for the highest tender).

There is a good chance none of those would have happened if they knew they had a pick in the top 5 and were going to have to make sure they had cash to give McFadden what it would cost to get him in that spot.

 

[SilberBlau]

Doing something about it that is exactly the opposite of what they are publicly stating...that's a different story entirely.

Which GM has never lied about his real intentions? It's ok to make a case for not trading up for DMAC, but it should be based on more than "they said so" (I did not have sexual relations with that woman *harhar*). Or more simple: everybody lies. Especially when it comes to pro sports.
And talking about costs, i agree with you that it is too much to move into top5. But if the Jets pass on him, JJ will trade with the Pats

What has jones systematically treid to mislead people about? Parcells would do that but we are talking about jones here.

“I’m comfortable at safety …” Jones said. “I’m comfortable with the players we have in-house.”

that was one week prior the Hamlin signing.


But don't get me wrong, it's ok to act this way. You have to do whats best for your team. and that does include lying (or misleading ) from time to time.

The price for DMAC would be magnitudes above the current if JJ announces his willingness to trade twice a day. So of course he's denying everything, but that doesn't mean that there's no chance for a trade.

Did you even bother to read my post? I called the Arkansas connection "mindless" if that was the reason someone was predicting Jerry to draft McFadden.
