Oh for the unending soap opera and wish to create rant...no thanks.

I'll stick to the truth, and nothing but the truth. Jason will state his real intentions...when HE'S ready to.

Try watching the interview for yourself specifically what he says @ 6:57 when asked the question instead of relying on a twitter quote.

He gave several clues that he is hanging it up, reminding us this was his 14th season and everyone has a shelf life. He also said "Destiny waits for no man". That is a misquote from the actual ancient proverb, "time waits for no man". He may not want to blatantly say it right now but all these things are very telling that he is done. People want to ignore the clues and think he will keep playing but the reality of the situations is exactly like the man was trying to tell us... no man is immune to the sands of time.

Watching Witten go would be tough, arguably the best TE to ever play for the Cowboys. He has been nothing but class throughout his career. He has definitely slowed down and isn't what he once was but it still wouldn't be easy watching him hang it up. Hopefully he sticks it out another year or two, he can still contribute.

It takes a lot of effort just to get to where we were today and then to waste it like we did has to be tough to even think about doing it all over again just for the oppportunity you already had.

We had the better team and lost to a 1 man band because the defense didn't come out ready.

I couldn't have said it better.
