That's what, sadly, happens with so many young, foolish players that can't see the forest for the trees. They get so wound up with themselves and their glory that they start thinking they're indispensable. Zeke's a perfect example of that type!
The Dallas FO is digging in for the long term at this stage of the game. They know what's at stake if they weaken and allow the players to run their business! I'm really hoping they'll dig a trench, jump in it and prepare themselves for a hard-fought battle.
The stakes are extremely high. If they're able to gain an image of sticking to their financial plan, there's a great deal to be gained in the long run!
