Excitement concerning the Dallas Cowboys offensive line was rejuvenated this offseason when the team drafted Connor Williams in the second round.

Connor would surely help the unit get back to being the best in the NFL, at least that was the thought most had. Not that this isn’t true, but Connor is the second big-time piece to land with the men up front this offseason.

Dallas exchanged offensive line coaches with the Cincinnati Bengals, Frank Pollack for Paul Alexander. It wasn’t a literal trade, just one that happened out of coincidence. Neat.

You know what else is neat, though? Paul Alexander. I’m literally talking about Paul Alexander the human being. CowboysCast’s Bobby Belt found a goldmine of nuggets on Wednesday evening.

I've certainly changed up my approach on where it comes to squeezing the mustard bottle,,,ever since I'd shook that bottle in a tossoff fashion and it shot yards down the counter of that out of state truck stop diner ,,,that one time,,,er,,,it didn't make me all that popular with my fellow road men at the time either o_O

On the surface, it really seems absurd to use squeezing a ketchup bottle to grade an o-lineman. Oddly enough, the explanation is somewhat believable, somehow. I'm still pretty sure I'd be reluctant to reveal that idea for public consumption (for fear of being committed.);)

I was at a Round Table event recently where local HR executives discussed the job market and shared insights on the hiring process from their perspective. This ketchup story reminds me of one of the stories a participant told.

In short and during the hiring process, they took the prospect out to lunch for some candid discussions and setting. The HR Mgr. noticed that after the food arrived, the prospect immediately applied salt and pepper to her food. He noticed this action and took issue on how someone could do such a thing w/o tasting the food first. As a result, the prospect was passed upon because in his words/opinion "she made uninformed decisions".

The entire room was was perplexed, he looked like a dope and many of his piers and those in attendance remarked to this story that his company is probably not somewhere one would want to work. lol Was actually pretty funny.
