Jerry Jones: Randy Gregory Has His Demons, But Understands Expectations

[BigStar]

Just by interviews, I could tell Gregory was a pretty bright guy...but one who had issues. Didn't know he had the highest SAT.

Gets in the way disproven statistic that potheads are dumb I guess...

Jerry's salesmanship is in full display once again. It's that time of year.

It's 'show me' time for Randy Gregory. I remember this same sales job after last year's draft and we all know how that turned out.

Now it's time for the young man to work at it each and every day and decide what he wants for his life, football or weed. Because he can't have both.

Sure you can have both. Just not at the same time.

Focus on your football. Maximize your potential. Do the best you can. Make lots of money. Hopefully win the Super Bowl.

When your career is over, move to Colorado and smoke your brains out.

Nice

You are probably the only one who knows what I was talking about, lol.

 

[JoeKing]

He could not read...but went to college. Cannot remember if he graduated. BUT....BUT if he did....WOW....just WOW!

We're talking about Oklahoma State U so...

 

[JoeKing]

Obscure reference.

If true he should be applauded for doing so well under the influence of a performance inhibiting drug.

 

[JoeKing]

I know what you mean, but I would hope he has a Dexter Manley impact ON the field.

Totally understand, on the field performance was never Manley's weakness.

 

[JoeKing]

He had issues with cocaine/crack, not marijuana. Cocaine (crack esp) is MUCH more addictive than marijuana.

The detail you provided is like pointing out he was actually fired on a Thursday when I said it was a Tuesday. It doesn't make any difference to the point I was making.

His demon was a drug. The minutia of what drug it was is not material to the point.

Isn't he bi-polar?

Randy Gregory is. I'm not sure about Manley.

 

[BigStar]

Randy Gregory is. I'm not sure about Manley.

Oh, but one is mentally ill and another had a drug addiction? Just personal demons in general get in the way? True

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Oh, great. Substance abuse, suspension and now "demons." It just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it? Why are we so lucky to get these sterling players?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Randy Gregory is. I'm not sure about Manley.

Manley was just ignorant. No, really, ignorant as in uneducated and illiterate.

They both have had to battle the demon, drugs.

Oklahoma State! Go Cowboys.

If you think marijuana use trumps being diagnosed as bipolar, I can't debate with you. He has much worse problems than marijuana usage as a likely coping mechanism up to this point and hope him the best in his fight.

 

[JoeKing]

If you think marijuana use trumps being diagnosed as bipolar, I can't debate with you. That's common sense brother.

No argument.

.. and when you say "trump", I get politically triggered. Please refrain. J/K

I think you understand that I meant that he can't have both at the same time. Once his career is I we, he can obviously do as he pleases.

But if he can't control himself, he'll never have to worry about ever having a career.
