RELEASED Lucky Whitehead Cut **merged**

[Lutonio]

What are we going to do without his season of 3 catches for 46 yards and drive killing jet sweeps where I just know he's going to fumble?

 

[Idgit]

If you have more value, you get more rope. Nothing new there, that's life.

I'll admit it's pretty amusing, Lucky was mostly hated on this forum. Game day threads are brutal on him. Then he's cut, and all hell breaks loose. Haha, right.

The dog thing was weird. That doesn't really just happen. Whether the "hood" was taking advantage of him or something, I don't know. Just odd.

I feel for him, because I was probably one of his least harsh critics. I'm also inclined to believe that if he'd been a little more transparent this wouldn't be a big deal. We're a pretty forgiving team, obviously. They thought it best to move on. That's business.

I liked the dude, too. Though there were a lot of comments about his route running and the general circus he traveled in in the background his whole time here.

Honestly, though, this distraction came at a awful time for him. If he were a better player, like Wilson is, we'd have ridden it out.

But he wasn't.

You can make assumptions to make the Cowboys look less dumb if you want. Doesn't make any of it true.

What is true is that the guy got cut for something he didn't do.

And the team looks stupid.

It's mildly embarrassing, sure.

But this was an absolute nobody they cut. Completely useless. Nothing more.

He was going to get cut early anyway. This just gives him a chance to look for a team in need of a returner.

 

[Stash]

I think you mean to say that a lie only hurts if you believe it. I'm not sure I buy it either way.

No, what I mean is that a person can only succeed in lying to you if you believe for a second what they're saying. If you don't and see through that lie, it fails.

Will McClay can try to lie all he wants, if no one outside of a few suckers believes him, he's wasting his breath. Which is what he did there.

 

[Idgit]

Tell me how "he created a massive distraction at the start of camp"?

Explain this.

You'll need to explain this sentence as well.

I really don't.

Change "created" to "was at the center of" since that's more accurate. It doesn't change the reasoning in any way, though.

Lucky never should have been brought back to begin with. It's about time he was cut. I feel bad for him being falsely accused and everything but that has nothing to do with his football skills. His spot was done as soon as Switzer was drafted.

He should've been cut once Switzer was drafted then

Last time I checked they did not list cause with the cut. You are making just as much of an assumption.

Even if the warrant was part of the reason its not as cut and dried as you want it to be.

He still got arrested for shoplifting I thought? Warrant was suppose to be for no showing at court date? Am I mistaken?

 

[Stash]

It's mildly embarrassing, sure.

To release a player based on false information? That exceeds "mild".

But this was an absolute nobody they cut. Completely useless. Nothing more.

Not the point. Nor is it the fact that he deserved to be cut before yesterday. He did. But the fact is that the information that proved to be the last straw was proven false. That's solely on the team and hasn't nothing to do with the caliber of the player. It's a screwup plain and simple.

But the team won't admit it and neither can some fans.

He was going to get cut early anyway.

Now it's "cut early"? I'd like to see the proof of that.

This just gives him a chance to look for a team in need of a returner.

Does it? Please don't try to spin this obvious screwup into the team doing him a favor.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Wow, the Lucky story just made the front page of Drudge.

Really? You need to check your watch.

He was taken off the field minutes after the news broke and cut an hours later.

If you want to make the case that this was somehow "mere coincidence", I'd love to hear it.

Floor is yours.

 

[Stash]

Yes, it's been proven it wasn't him.

All charges dropped.

 

[Stash]

I really don't.

Change "created" to "was at the center of" since that's more accurate. It doesn't change the reasoning in any way, though.

You really can't.

Thanks for proving that.

But he wasn't.

And he probably lied to them before which is why they didn't believe him now.

 

[Idgit]

You really can't.

Thanks for proving that.

I feel like you think you've made a point here, and want to be happy for you as a result. But for the life of me, I don't see what it is you think you're getting at with this one.

You're welcome? Is that what's expected here?

 

[Alexander]

Wow, the Lucky story just made the front page of Drudge.

Think of all the relevance this brings.

Jerry Jones must be beaming like a proud papa.

No, what's "expected" is the same lame crap we've experienced for years. This team screws up and the same people try to spin it like they didn't, as if they were on the team payroll.

I don't need you to be "happy for me" in the least. After your sad spin attempt earlier, you've rendered any opinion you might have on the subject moot and irrelevant anyway. So it doesn't matter what's you think about it. You made some sorry claim in an attempt to sweep an obvious screwup under the rug, and failed miserably.

Floor is yours.

You are trying say it is only one thing. As I stated, I can think of scenarios where they included the warrant and they do not look stupid.

I'm not going to make up stories about what really happened or how the decision was even made beyond to say there is a reason why they term it a straw that broke the camel's back.

 

[aria]

Yes. Zeke is "lucky" he is a star player or he probably would have been cut too.

Fair enough, like your honesty and couldn't agree more.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Garrett should be a man and call Lucky to apologize for basically calling him a liar, if that is indeed what happened.
