When his playing and not his mouth does the talking

From the earnest confines of Air Cowboys America, a 50,000-watt font of absolute truths, relevance and plausible deniability. In Farmers Branch, site of the 2010 Trailer Hitch and Assembly Arama.

:star: :star: :star: :star: :star:

Men, women, associates and recent parolees:​

There arose on the field Sunday an unsung hero. One whom has caused, by all concensus, much controversy when he let his mouth do his talking. Never a good thing in Greg Ellis's case.​

Yet, last Sunday, Ellis not only stood off the constant forays by the much younger and nimbler Winslow but seemingly demoralized the TE by game's end.​

The player Ellis at times was playing a hybrid corner and unless I am mistaken, hale fellows, it has not been much mentioned here.​

So I would like to offer a toast and a "well-done" to Ellis, who can have a record-setting year if he continues this way. His playing does his best talking. (Oh, you, too, Crayfish. You had a great game.)

You are correct......Ellis did a great job playing/ leading/ and talking.

Ellis just can stand the off-season. He has nothing to do but think about the newest young guy to come in to try and take his place and to worry about how he will ever survive on the mere multi-millions that Jerry Jones has paid him. He needs the action of the football field to take his mind off of such bothersome topics and to release the suppressed rage that such worry foments in his psyche. But on the field that pent up rage becomes the opponent’s nightmare. :D

He deserves a pat on the back but his playing time will still get cut when Spencer is fully healthy.

I agree only if Spencer earns it. I like Spencer but he had 3 sack all of last year if he can play to a higher level then yes he should get more time but if not then I would not bench a guy who is proven and getting the job done.

Gimme's schtick is annoying most of the time, and he intentionally uses complex (sometimes convoluted) sentence structures and intentionally flamboyant word choice, but I can't find any grammar errors....

More than a couple, I was not being a jerk about it, I know he puts effort into his posts, and he as improved markedly.

whom and who is a pet peeve of mine though

You're right--he did miss who/whom--but I've seen much worse in many, many posts. Perhaps you hold him to a higher standard (that's fine). For some reason, I was thinking you were referring to punctuation.

Well, yes, kind poster. I am gratified that Ellis is doing so well, while Spencer is brought along.
I am just enjoying seeing Ellis play gud.

But, yes, Spencer's day is coming. Maybe soon.
then all I kin say to Ellis, is "Hey, for who the bell tolt? Well, it tolts for you, man."

Thanks lago, you tell The Man who wants to keep oppressing me.
My head injury just can't go away like someone snaps their finger. And them wrong pronuns and adjectives jus get mixed up, but I mean well.

Let them persecute me for gramer. Let them laugh at my sintax and nonseculars and preverbs.

But let me say to all: Laugh at this old injured haid but never, ever laugh at my devotion to the Cowboys. In 1957 when I first became a Cowboy fan, let me tel you, it was mighty lonely being one. No one wore a Dallas Cowboy cap, no one saw no games never. But I proudly stood for mah team.
And no one ever tolt me my gramer was bad. (Also I blame Miss Kovacs, Mr. Benge and the Farmers Branch schools for my bad learning.)

I am only going to explain it to you this one time. Genuine use of poor grammar in your posts takes away from your point. If you want to use grammar and punctuation mistakes on purpose to hammer your point into the ground then you need to be spot on in your usage otherwise. You need to show that you have a general understanding of grammar before you can effectively use a satire of poor grammar. If not you don't look clever you just look like you don't know how to write at all. It takes away from what you are trying to do. Leotis is effective because he starts as one and leaves no doubt he is a moron, you try to come at people from a different angle.

I am gonna put you back on ignore now, I know this was a complete waste of time.

Thats great you can roll your eyes, I was trying to help the guy. His character is all over the place and it really takes away from some true potential. The guy has the talent to pull it off, sorry if constructive criticism isn't something you approve of.

This is a message board for crying out loud...not some Jr. High classroom. I know what you mean, but, come on!

One of the most tasteless things on a message board is someone telling others how to spell, how bad their grammer is, and other silly nonsense like this. Have fun, enjoy, take it all in stride...that's what we are here for, not to attend some grammer class!

Carry on, my friend...

Who needs the word "whom" anyway? We have enough words in the English language as it is.

I think someone got up on the wrong side of the gramer bed.

Having said that, and upon further review I now grasp what you is saying.
OK, I will work on my flaws.
I know you meant well, but it came across as pedantic.

But don't you think this type of criticism against a disabled person will only make others self-consceous?
I thought pointing out flies in posts was not cool.
But then again I do enjoy reading well craftted prose and stuff. It helps get a point acrossed.
I forgive you because you mean well.
but to others who are quick to be meanspirited for no reason, fie on you!

And your time was nut wasted. Thanks!
