Cowboys Excitement Building

This thread reminds me of a story of two sisters who while on travel decided to attend Sunday services at a little country church. The sour sister noticed the piano was out of tune and found three typos and a grammatical error in the worship guide. The sweet sister met several interesting people, one of whom had a mutual friend. She had a lovely worship experience and left more energized in her faith.
Each sister found exactly what she was looking for.

This describes me when I look at the upcoming UT season…. Every year. The good sister- man I take a lot of crap for that
 
Well, if I were to share a relevant story, I would take one from Ayn Rand. If a person that is very smart is doing things that seem “unsmart,” you should revisit your assumptions.

We football fans define success by wins and championships. So, maybe we define Jerry Jones as unsuccessful.

However, redefine the NFL as an entertainment industry where the goal is to make money and build brand value, and Jones is obviously an unparalleled genius. In an entertainment industry, you want attention, TV coverage, sales, free advertising through media hype, dramatic personalities that capture imagination and controversy. And, in football, you have to at least win enough to be relevant for 90% of the season (ie, long enough to sell tickets, be on TV, sell merchandise, etc. Jones has ridden players like Terrell Owens, Dez Bryant, Tony Romo, and such to the most successful entertainment results in sports history. So, is he dumb?
 
I thought the title was a misspelling and it should have been "Cowboys Excrement Building"

Seriously, all the best for a good season and healthy players.
 
Cowboys excitement ceased.

They used to be a good spectacle. They have not had any really good football teams for a long time but usually had some amazing talents, disfunction, drama, etc to make it fun enough to root against them.

Now they don’t even have that to offer.

They've made a joke of a once proud and storied franchise.

Jones sure did! Can't stand the the guy. Jerruh takes credit for everything including the Super Bowl wins in the '90s. The blow-up he had with Jimmy J was his downfall. The Cowboys won one more SB with Switzer and that was the end of it. I hope they never get to another SB until after Jones is long gone . . . dead and buried that is.
 
I decided, after watching the debacle Sunday night and waking up stressing about Horns and Cowboys quarterback injuries Monday at 2 am, that I should spend more time interacting with people I care about and less time watching football.

Good call. If you stress out over football, then watch less football.

I tweeted Jerrah there is a competitor and small gold mine for the Cowboys sitting the bench in Indy that might also be worth a few wins. I also told him I know he can get the deal done.

Nick Foles??? Agree- he already won a Super Bowl. I'm kidding, I know you meant Sam. I can almost hear him yelling the locker room "How 'bout them Cowboys!! We're back!!!!!"
 
I expect that given the contracts involved, Indyvwould prefer to lose Foles. Would Indy take a 3rd round pick for Sam..or do you think it would take second?

Cooper Rush is 5-0 in his first five starts and is also 5-0 against the spread.

My concern with him is that he does not get them IN the end zone frequently enough. He does at least get them in FG position, but I would rather have 7 instead of 3...
