It was early November of 1989 if my memory serves me correct.

Dallas was awful. Seriously. For those of you too young to remember, the Cowboys were truly dreadful. This was a darker time in Cowboy's history than any other. It was following up another dreadful season (1988 3-13), the firing of Tom Landry and an exodus of long-term fans. Not only that, we had traded away our only offensive weapon, Herschel Walker just a few weeks prior to that game. We had yet to see any of the benefits of that historical trade. Oh...and Aikman was sidelined.

There was virtually nothing to hang onto, no one to root for and no hope on the horizon. And here came the Commanders, an improving team with a legitimate shot to make the playoffs. We literally rolled out Steve Walsh (QB) and Paul Palmer (RB) as our starters. Remember Paul Palmer? Of course not. We played in Washington DC and the Commanders were favored by TWO TOUCHDOWNS! That's right....favored by 14 points. No joke.

Now the bad part (yes, there's a worse part for me to this story). I had not missed watching a game in years. We were visiting my wife's aunt and I was excited because they had one of those enormous big-screen projections TV's. I settled in to watch the game...and their cable went out. I was sitting on a farm outside of Dallas with no local stations to watch the game on. SO, I sat in their farm truck and listened to the game on a static-filled AM radio station. The only game we won in 1989 was the one I was forced to miss.

BUT, as divisional games often go, Dallas was able to pull a win out of an otherwise winless season. 13-3 was the final score. Palmer ran for over 100 yards. Our defense manned-up and held the Commanders to 3 points. This loss was a big part of the reason that the Commanders failed to make the playoffs that year.

My most memorable Cowboys-Commanders game was our only win of the 1989 season. A new era was just around the bend, but I couldn't see it yet from the seat of that worn-out farm truck.

What's yours?

I do not understand why guys think riling each other up into a frenzy over nothing is somehow worthwhile. Enjoy this season, and hope that we see Jaylon next year.

Accepting reality is not a blow to your fanhood, and nobody cares how big it is anyway.

Huh? Wth does this post even mean? Never mind the bolded... actually, the bolded, too, wth does this post mean?

All signs point to Jaylon going on IR. This move is only to give him access to team meetings for a few weeks until then. The Joneses and everyone who reports on the team have said as much.

Pretending this means anything other than that for the sake of out-optimisting everyone else is silly. Hence the "no one cares how big your fanhood is" quip.

Forget about this year...I'm still concerned Smith ever play football. I'm optimistic but still in doubt.

The reality is that he still has some degree of drop foot. Until that's completely healed I'm not investing any excitement about the player.

Gotcha, and I agree, more or less. Still, Jaylon deserves every bit of our scrutiny and time on this board. But your reply stands, CS Thanks for clarifying, bud, and the reply

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love the discussion and the medical research. I could do without the insistent rah-rah misinformation, because it doesn't help make him any better.

There does seem to be an over-abundance of information, now, admittedly. When @FuzzyLumpkins was on it, it was steady and accurate, and not hyper-posted here. Fuzzy did it right. Waldo is just on a mission, and that's fine.

I will say, I'd rather have this smothering of updates (if you will), than be left in the dark.

Not meant for you, CS, but why these threads dismay so many people is both amusing and zany. But to each their own.

I'll be here to question (for lack of a better term) the dudes (and gals <cough>) that can't take a Jaylon thread, and act as if these threads are diagnosing their own parents... (by oogie boogie "fake doctors")

Pretty sure he has been able to go to meetings the whole time....only PED and misconduct suspensions are banned from the facility
