Random thoughts, part deux...

Hey.......

She said I was cute

I'm tellin' ya, it's the uniform...

by the way old friend when are you coming back over here..

Soon as I hit the lottery, my man... I'm a po boy, just a workin' stiff... but believe that I still dream of floatin' down the Neckar on one of those tour boats, past Schoss Heidelberg on one of those summer nights they're having an "illumination" (a fireworks display, for those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talkin' about)...

we could take in a Rhein Fire game and you know you are more than welcome to stay with me...

Man, if I can ever make it happen, rest assured that you'll be gettin' an e-mail well in advance...

And of course, if you ever get the urge for a little R&R stateside, I'd be happy to put you up too...

I don't drink much anymore... a beer or 5 and I am through...the day afters aren't worth the night befores...if you catch my drift.

Found out I was a diabetic back in October, so I'm a brand new teetotaler... but even before then, I was familiar with the phenomenon you talk about... there was a time when I could swim in Jack Daniels, party till dawn, then go home and jump in the shower just in time to open the pro shop at 7AM, never having been to bed... but in recent years, anything more than 2 Jack & cokes and I was a hurtin' cowboy the next day...

So mebbe we'll just hit the nearest Gasthaus and chase the frauleins...

Sorry DallasGirl I would invite you also but I wouldn't want you to think I'm easy...

Yeah, it's not pretty, being easy... LOL...

Sounds like a slice of heaven to me...

You have to watch out for him.. he does that stuff every once in awhile...

Don't worry its just a temporary thing

ROTFLMAO... this is true... even as I speak, I've got some folks over on another board, where they let you get away with a little more "in your face", all bent out of shape...

I'm versatile that way...

 

[silverbear]

Hahaha you picked up on that too...You know I love ya man but I ain't going there

I'm profoundly glad to hear that (not that I ever suspected otherwise, you weren't in the NAVY)...

 

[silverbear]

Hey, thanks for the kind words.

People don't have to post things that I agree with either for them to be considered "good". Just put up something that is supported with a logical argument and I'm in... if I agree with it or not.

Mornin', Michael...

Good people are always open-minded... but there's no need to thank me for stating what's obvious to everybody...

Since my first attempt at "scattershooting" seemed to meet with approval, and since some other things have come up to occupy my attention, I thought I'd take another shot at it:

These are usually the better posts, Bear.

1-- Chicken Littles, take note...

Those of you pressing the panic button because Jerry hasn't gone out and made any flashy signings really must not have been paying attention, because both he and son Stephen told us repeatedly in the weeks leading up to free agency that the Cowboys would NOT be chasing after the big ticket free agents... and yet, even though we were told how this was gonna play out, some of you are STILL going off the deep end...

Calm down, folks...

True, many posters do need to calm down. However, I do get entertained by the building jumpers.

2-- Vacation time??

I have read that Jerry's on vacation down in St. Bart's, Stephen's on vacation in Mexico, Bill's on vacation in Florida... this strikes me as odd, since this is generally the time when free agents are being signed at a frenzied pace... if I know that, Jerry and Bill know that...

This tells me that their relative inaction early on was part of their master plan, that they intend to ride out the first wave of megadeals, then sit back and see what's left... the reason for doing that is to maximize their free agent dollars... though they did make a couple-three signings early on, those guys signed reasonable deals...

Sadly, I think part of the reason for that is that approach they planned on pursuing Terrell Owens seriously, and wanted to make sure they had enough cap room to get the job done...

I am sure you have heard me say it before and I'll say it again now:

Free Agency should be used to acquire role players who fill a hole and are fairly cost-friendly. Dallas has done that.

However, it is looking like the reality of Owens to Dallas is becoming more and more apparent.

3-- Kickers, kickers, kickers...

Randy Galloway reported that Mike Vanderjagt paid a quick, surprise visit to Dallas on Wednesday... hmmmm, with Jerry and Stephen Jones, and Bill Parcells, all out of town, I wonder who he met with?? LOL...

There was another report, this one from Adam Schefter, that the Boys were fixing to give an offer sheet to RFA Josh Brown from the Seahawks...

This tells me a number of things-- first, that they probably aren't interested in Adam Vinatieri, and the reason for that would be the amount of money he wants... second, though, this tells me that they ARE still seriously involved in bringing in a solid kicker, and this is their plan B (Matt Bryant or Ryan Longwell being plan A)...

And even if plan B doesn't work, there's still no reason to despair, a likely plan C might be Olindo Mare, once he's released from the Dolphins (which most observers of the NFL feel is a near-certainty)...

I still think there is an outside chance that Vinatieri could still be a Cowboy, and Dallas is entertaining these other options as a backup plan.

What Dallas CANNOT do though is go into this 2006 season with Scott Suisham as their kicker.

4-- Jason Fabini...

This guy was the first player the Boys brought in for a look-see, and he would fit a team need (right tackle)... as another of Bill's old players, you'd think he'd be a logical fit, and apparently the Boys thought so too, yet the reports are that the Cowboys chose not to make him an offer before he left town...

This makes me wonder if he failed to pass that physical... the only other possible explanation that I can see is that his contract demands were completely outrageous, and as a journeyman player at best, I rather doubt that he was asking for top dollar...

The longer you wait, the lower the price will be. I think Fabini will be a Cowboy too. Of course, that also means he can be snatched up by another team. It is a risk you have to take.

5) Ryan Hannam...

There were reports that the Boys were going to bring him in for a visit, and he makes some sense too (with Dan Campbell off to Detroit, the Boys need a blocking TE), but I never saw a confirmation that he did indeed come to visit... did he??

Once again, experienced, young and cost-effective player who fills a hole.

6-- Wide receivers...

And now, for the big finish... before I comment, you all know how I dislike Terrell Owens, but it is my fondest wish that this thread not be turned into another TO argument... if you like him, fine, I don't... at the same time, I realize he's likely to wind up in Dallas...

I think my ideal scenario here would be to bring back Key, once he's set his market value, then sign Eric Moulds if the Bills do indeed ultimately release him... then, go for a WR like Martin Nance (there are other options) in the second round... this would give the Boys a depth chart of Keyshawn, Terry Glenn, Moulds, Patrick Crayton and Martin Nance or another draftee...

While this WR corps would be a little old, it would be a solid group, I think...

Two days ago, I sent an email to Galloway and Company saying that I do not want that morsel of horse dung in Dallas. So it is not going to bother me if Owens signs somewhere else.

I just cannot imagine him in Dallas. You just know it is just a matter of time before he tells Sparano not to talk to him unless he talks to him first.

Agreed...
