Is house cleaning going on?

[yimyammer]

If you dont pay for your seats you will get sued. You are legally obligated to pay for the tickets when you buy your psl. That is the trick the owners came up with to make sure they never have unsold seats in bad years.

You are not on the hook exactly for the psl. Its yours, its a bond. If you paid cash for it you owe nothing, if you took a loan on it then you pay each year whatever the 30 year loan amounted to. So every April 1st the bill for the psl is due, may 1st the tickets are due.

You are free to sell your psl for however much you want whenever you want. Once you do you are not on the hook for the tickets anymore.

Thanks, that's what I thought but its been a while since I looked into this.

My dad used to have tickets at the 45 yard line, 20 rows up on the Cowboys sideline at Texas Stadium. They wanted $150,000 per PSL plus all the annual tickets & parking which IIRC, was close to 10K per year. While my dad could have afforded it, jeri had ruined the on the field product so badly, he didn't feel it was worth it.

The old bonds on Texas Stadium actual paid some interest, do the bonds at jeri-world pay interest?

FYI-My dad an I are geeky CPAs and when we got the package from the Cowboys on all the seat prices, we did the math and determined that if jeri got 100% of what he was asking for all PSLs, he would have made over 1 billion dollars after paying off all the debt. LMAO, damn us cowboy fans are suckers!

This has me thinking. The Cowboys could run a 3-4 if they really wanted to. The ends could be David Irving and Maliek Collins. The nose tackle needs to be a big dude, so get Richard Ash off the practice squad. Tyrone Crawford and Lewis Neal (also on the practice squad) could be backups.

DeMarcus Lawrence and Benson Mayowa could be the OLB's, with Jaylon Smith, Taco Charlton, and Damontre Moore the backups.

Sean Lee and Anthony Hitchens would be the two inside LB's.

The personnel wouldn't be an ideal fit, but with some creativity it could work.

i have been pushing for a 3-4 for a while also.
people have said our LBs are too small etc.
but we have been playing a 3-2-6 so it is not impossible.
i think we can make the switch in 1 offseason if the right positions are available in the draft and FA.
i think switching to the 4-3 was a big mistake

what a nightmare
almost everything i did not want to see has happened.
ugly

Not sure about the interest. That is a good question. I dont think there is though.

Back in the late 80's & early 90's you could buy people's bonds at such cheap price, the effective rate could get over 10% depending upon the purchase price and people were selling them cheap when jeri ran off Landry. I looked into making a business out of acquiring the bonds but IIRC, it was too time consuming to find the owners, so I gave up.

Also, IIRC, you could own the bond and waive the right to the ticket purchase on an annual basis so you weren't forced to buy tickets unless you wanted them and could change your mind from year to year based on how well you thought the team would do.

Times have changed a bit, I'm 99% sure your bond pays no interest.

 

[LocimusPrime]

i am gathering energy for it and there is much less guessing to do now.
i want to work up a simple scenario with just carr.
then a scenario with 1 premium FA.

Ok can you do mine second please

 

[LocimusPrime]

Can they clean house and get rid of Jerry also????

For 6 billion maybe....maybe.

 

[waldoputty]

Ok can you do mine second please

ok, once i get it up to do it.
salary cap burn-out

 

[willia451]

With THIS defense? 8-8 at best. I just hope we're still relevant on some level before Thanksgiving when I have tickets.

Otherwise I won't be able to even give them away.

 

[CWR]

cut losers - good
get young players - good
play young players - good

need to do even if it means short term pain:
1. trade progress stoppers like twill if possible.
2. trade value ending-contracts like DLaw if team continues to suck.

What do u think teams would pay for a rest of season rental on a player with two back surgeries? Hell no, he is where he needs to be and if we dont trust him we franchise him. Do you not remember how difficult it is to find a pass rusher?

 

[Jake]

Paea and Carroll gone.
With Thornton already gone a few weeks ago, so who is left to cut?
Sounds like the FO may be cleaning house or even cutting bait on the season.
Carroll/Paea probably to be replaced by young cheap players though it is possible a vet LB would be picked up if they are not cutting bait yet.
So much for the cheap FA strategy because McClay can work magic.
Unfortunately, FO's hubris got out of control.
So we have 2015 repeating itself.

So far we have 2013 repeating itself - scoring lots, giving up more.

2015 was a decent defense hung out to dry by a Romo-less offense; not the same at all.

 

[Verdict]

How do you come up with trading DLaw? Let’s get a 3rd round pick for a guy producing at a Pro Bowl level now. Real smart.

If you could trade him for a first round pick now would you do it?

 

[Corso]

sad thing is the FO apparently thought they were linchpins.

Holy... where do you come up with this? I know you're absurd, but...

well if the buyer is a contender, then may be a lot.
if we dont try, we dont get.
getting a pass rusher is hard, but even i dont want to get yet another bad-back big contract

part of 2015 was caused by the front office's hubris that any RB can run behind the OL.
seems the FO's hubris leads to a lot of issues.

 

[waldoputty]

top 10, no doubt.
middle - wait a couple games.
bottom 10, wait for deadline

from learning from u the master!

 

[waldoputty]

only if u say please with sugar on top.
i am still in cap cal burnout...

 

[Corso]

from learning from u the master!

This is true... Carry on.

 

[waldoputty]

This is true... Carry on.

wish garrett was as cool as corso

 

[Redball Express]

these were bottom of the barrel players who didn't work out mistakes that were made that are easy to get out of

Is that you?

Jerrah?
