Tank... am I the only one appalled at the double-standard?

[bbgun]

Plenty of other forums. You keep whining, yet you stay.

And deny you the pleasure of my company? Preposterous. In any event, I'm holding out hope that they'll hire a competent admin. Enjoy your journey to the dark side.

He is a slave to the zone

So am I, but I actually like him and others here. He acts like he hates all of us, so why stay?

That place truly is horrible. Some good posters, but it's just completely overrun by idiots.

Hate to break it to you, but I'm not hired. Volunteer. Nice to know that it bugs you though.

Nice try at spin control. Failed miserably.

As opposed to your relentless "this is no big deal" spin? Hilarious. Stick to kink.

Hostile is in your head? tsk tsk :laugh1:

Hey, that's great, champ. Go sew a merit badge on your sash.

Jerry lied, integrity died.

:laugh2:

You are too much, bb.

You never answered if it hurt. You're pointing a finger at me, 3 of your own are pointing back at you. I can easily find the thread and multiple comments by you about a teenage girl. My post on the other hand was about how all of us are in some degree hypocrites. You're demonstrating it better than my analogy. I used it because most males can relate to being 16 and wired. If you can't I apologize but that isn't my fault.

You know what the funniest part about your little temper tantrum is?

I don't like Tank. You've been played.

 

[SultanOfSix]

I think the sheep were tired of hearing squirt guns' counting.

They jumped the fence and never came back.

bbgun isn't a fan of any team. He's a fan of himself. And probably the only one.

Big deal. The issue is Jerry's candor (or lack thereof) and his elastic sense of ethics, not Tank's abilities. This is dark day for the Dallas Cowboys, but it's not Tank's fault.

You didn't know that Jerry was the epicenter of all integrity?

For shame. It was a trivia question on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader."

That may be the saddest thing I have ever read in my life. Sylvia Plath is expressing jealousy from the grave and Anne Sexton actually burst into tears.

That's the problem, tho, Hos.

Some don't quite understand that you don't have to like the player to understand the signing.

And again, for all the moral outrage by a few suggesting that Jerry Jones brought the integrity down, what do they feel about Gil Brandt and company for bringing in guys with questionable character in the 70s? I've heard and read too much about those days to believe that there were nothing but a bunch of choir boys on the squad.

Oh I see. All those interviews he gave about character were just a lie? A colossal fraud? You don't feel duped by his sudden change of heart? Remind me: why is Calvin Hill employed by the Dallas Cowboys? That is, if he hasn't resigned already.

Oh no, the fantasy world comes crashing down when the real world intrudes.

I don't really understand the move. He's not a NT. But I do understand the desire to win and I've been honest, the money factor is favorable to Dallas. It's a low risk move in that aspect.

I object to hatred among Cowboys fans just because others don't share your same feelings about something. I agree with bbgun and others that this signing doesn't excite me, but you are never going to read me acting superior to others because of my moral superiority. That's BS.

You must think Calvin Hill is some kind of wussy.

I don't. He dealt with Alonzo Spellman and Dimitrius Underwood. In fact that's the reason he was hired, to help "troubled" players, not get all of the troublemakers off the team.

Foiled by facts yet again.

Tom Landry flat out released Hollywood Henderson in November, 1979--despite the fact that we could have used his services. That's hardly "a live and let live" attitude on Tom's part. Duane Thomas is another example of a troublemaker being banished. Ditto Longley. Nor am I aware of any Cowboy who remained on the roster after getting into trouble with the law--esp for narcotics.

Duane Thomas was banished after the 'boys rode him to the superbowl.

Anywho, as for Calvin Hill. Thought you might be interested per the DMN blog

The Cowboys plan on having Calvin Hill, an organizational consultant to the players, to forge a bond with Johnson. Under the terms of Johnson’s suspension, he must seek counseling. As part of his meetings with team officials today, he met with Hill.

“I see him being a major influence in a lot respects,” Johnson said. “He’s a great guy and I’m excited about getting a relationship with Calvin.”
