Twitter: Irvin calls out Dak

11 years of frustration yet we’ve never seen him do this. Instead we hear stories about Ferguson being his bff therefore won’t be benched (Broaddus).

One non-bleep got through. It's okay. lol.

The only time that level of fire and grit rose anywhere near the surface since then was during the Parcells years. It is a missing element in the franchise's current culture. It is purposefully mitigated by the culture directly influenced for 11,885 consecutive days by non-qualified football executives.

Dak is playing with no emotion, no leadership, no urgency.....I know he chokes and cracks, but he's normally a very good QB. Makes me wonder if his personal life is having an effect. Not having his kids around, he was a mommas boy and we all know the story about his mom, makes me wonder if not having his kids there, when he gets home, not having that outlet. I remember having a tough game, getting home and hugging my daughter, all of a sudden, I felt invincible, the hurt went away, my purpose was clear, win for her......just a thought.

I 100% believe that GOTI and all the other self-assuring bravado we are seeing is a protection response from him after losing control of his personal life. And yeah, even if we say he's not too hurt over her, it is 1000% disruptive not having your kids around or having the threat of them being taken away. You can try but it's hard to block that out and lock in. What did Tom Brady say when he left Bucs camp for 2 weeks? "I got some serious ...stuff...going on here fellas."

Mike may be certifiably crazy, but he ain’t wrong. Get mad at the opponent - heck, get mad at yourself for 11 years of crumbling at big moments when the team needs YOU to carry them. And, when you play your tail off and your teammates literally keep “dropping the ball”, get in their tails like Aikman and Irvin used to do. THAT is so needed for this team and, frankly, organization at this point.

Thank you so much for posting this. This was during the Switzer years, when the team got soft and almost everyone around was happy about it...except the guys who knew better.

Some of these Cowboys fans factually and actually don't know any better.

The fact that he used the word "embarrassment" where Dak was trying to protect his own feelings and manage public perception of his performance? PRICELESS.

Bahhhh ....... neither of these guys live in the real world.

Who do I believe?

The insane coke head who stabs his teammates in a fit of rage and acts like a teenager in his 60's?

or

The pampered narcissistic douchebag who fails year in and year out and acts like his poop does not stink?

Give me Irvin. All day any day and twice on Sunday. I want my Cowboys playing with fire in their eyes, not fear.
 
Dak has disgusted me. Forget about football, this is about owning your work. The worker was right and the right response would be yep, you are right. I need to be better. Then Dak should have signed something for the guy and invited his family to the next game as his guest. That would have been classy, and would have stuck with the man the rest of his life as a positive story. Instead, that guy probably hates Dak and the team for getting him fired. Horrible way to handle disagreements. Whatever happened to rising above and having dignity? Daks actions and this front office is a microcosm of the last 31 years of culture. I hate it like poison that I even had to say it. This franchise is a wayward ship adrift out to sea.

Mike loves this team, and the fans. He's ticked because the star on the helmet means much more than this years team. It represents his teams, all the teams before him, and those that coached/played/owner here. I'm out on Dak. With the Jones family, screw them. They are horrible for what they did. That worker didn't deserve this. Make it right Jerry Jones. Dak.

It's so weird huh?

All these years of not "winning"....we've been told what a great guy Dak really is. And under duress, he shows his true colors.

Now...it could be he used to be, but has been "poisoned" by this organization.

You're right. Maybe the scourge that is the culture has jaded his thinking. God forbid he's criticized or somebody tells him the truth.

dak will get him a turkey for Thanksgiving and maybe a signed jersey. That should be enough.
He had all of you guys fooled.

Mike is the anti Dak and CD. Heart for days. Give me just 1 guy like him anywhere on this team that truly loves the star, loves his craft, loves his teammates and demands winning results. Nobody ever worked harder than Mike except maybe Jerry Rice.

I truly believe CeeDee would rather be on a different...winning...team.

I mean when things are "on" he's having fun....but He knows extra effort is futile.
 
Dak's flaws in this area have always been evident from day one. All of the chatter about "leadership" and "character" from certain segments of the fan base and media was a clear attempt to gloss over his evident shortcomings

Look at what a huge deal everybody made about him picking up the cup after he threw it at the trash can and missed

They all but gave him a Nobel Prize for picking up a paper cup. It was always about selling jerseys and generating media Buzz

Not winning games
