Lance expected to play

I know when Jerry said it, and about whom. I just don't get the metaphor. Hay goes bad if it's in the barn too long. It's also been known to spontaneously combust on rare occasions (I believe).

The only logical thing I can come up with is that it means that chore is finished, as in there's nothing more to be done...which is not something we want to hear.
Bold> Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

"The hay is in the barn" is the Cowboys off-season motto 5 minutes into free agency after they've made their two whole honest offers to big name free agents.
 
Jones: This is the last game, Mike. Make sure Trey looks good out there.
McCarthy: Guess you are expecting a miracle?
Jones: Pardon..?
McCarthy: I said Trey will play so well it'll be criminal.
Jones: Yeah! Now you're talking. Be conservative so he won't commit too many mistakes.
McCarthy: So you want me to dumb down a gameplan to your level?
Jones: Say what..?
McCarthy: I said that is good thinking, you smart devil.

Now thats what definitely gives me a reason to pay attention and actually watch.

1072 offensive snaps thus far on the season for the Cowboys.

Cooper Rush has 572 of 'em, which is 53.3%

1072/16 average is 67 snaps per game, so if Rush started (probably won't) and went 67 snaps, total would be 639 out of 1139, which would be 56.1%

just a few numbers, doesn't really mean much.
 
Do people really not know what hay in the barn means?
Does it mean Deion Sanders is being brought in as coach? He owns a 5,000-acre ranch. You'd have to put a lot of hay in that barn.
