Obsession over a name

[Nightman]

I keep saying his contract was up because there is a difference between releasing a player and choosing not to re-sign him. Murray's contract was up, did we not want him? I think we did but there were other factors involved. Same with Hardy.

And completely ignore the 17m price tag

DET let Suh leave instead of tagging him for 26m, they must hate him

 

[Dave_in-NC]

What does it matter? Are you suggesting he is still a candidate for the Cowboys roster?

Not at all just curious, no reason to guard up.

We already franchise tagged Dez so we could not tag Murray, otherwise we would have tagged him because, yes we wanted him. Panther's did not tag anyone for the 2015 season. They did not want Hardy.

They did not want Hardy at the price of the tag. The tag cost for DE this year is 14 million. They did not want to spend that much.

I also am willing to bet the Cowboys would NOT have franchised Murray even if they had the tag available. Franchise tag on a RB this year is 11 million. No way they spend that on Murray.

You know the saying that the first person to bring up the ***** or Hitler in an argument automatically loses? DING, DING, DING. We have a winner. Or loser, rather.

I never heard that saying before. I think you just made it up. I made a perfectly valid point.

 

[JoeKing]

Comparing Hardy to Hitler is asinine and childish.

Is that what I did? Or did a just give a contrasting comparison that is easier to see. Keep up.

It is a corollary to Godwin's Law. First person to mention Hitler or the ***** in an argument loses. But thanks for thinking I made it up. Wrong again, I guess. You seem to be doing that a lot in this thread.

And your point was neither valid nor rational.

Maybe so but now we'll never know. It's all supposition at this point.

I hope that from this day forward, we only sign and draft players no one has ever heard of.............

Just saying!

Yeah,,, we don't want anybody showing off their skills like they're better than everyone else! Anonymous wallflowers, that's what we need!

Thank you for the link. I actually learned something. Now, l will explain why it is not applicable to what I said. I did not compare Hardy to Hitler. I compare my not knowing Hardy to my not knowing Hitler and being able to judge either man's character without knowing them. That's another thing all together.

We already franchise tagged Dez so we could not tag Murray, otherwise we would have tagged him because, yes we wanted him.

So we wouldve tagged Murray if we could have @ 10.8 million for the season, but they turned around and wouldnt offer more than 6?

You either did not read that link or you have very poor reading comprehension. Godwin's Law is entirely applicable to what you said. Godwin's Law states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving ***** or Hitler approaches 1"[2][3]— that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism"

Whether you compared Hardy to Hitler directly is besides the point. You compared something within the argument to Hitler. Thus Godwin's Law. Thus you lose. Thanks for playing.

Guard up? Not at all, I just don't see the relevance of my opinion on AP on this thread. I actually like AP and think his suspension was an over reaction. I wish he did not discipline his child in anger. I saw the photos and yes I think he went too far in swatting his child but I'm not opposed to spanking.

Fair enough.

Aaah, so beating your child until he bleeds and scars is ok. That isn't a "character" issue and he is a RKG. Gotcha.

Stop it. I said he went too far. Of course it isn't okay. I think you are just arguing to argue at this point.

You think he went too far but that his punishment was an over reaction. Correct?

So, let me see if I get this straight. You would be fine with Peterson as a Cowboy, despite the fact that he was convicted on a charge of beating a child until he bled and scarred. And you think his punishment was too severe.

But, you think Hardy should never get another chance in the NFL, despite the fact that he was never convicted and charges were dropped.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I did absolutely read the link which why I can rebut with confidence what you are attempting to say. Now who has the reading comprehension deficit? Word for word it says "someone will compare someone or something to Hitler" . That's not what I did. You just heard the word Hitler and think it applies. But no, so nice try.
