Dallas Cowboys doomed

[royboy]

I don't believe that. I don't dislike the Ravens or the Cowboys. CeeDee Lamb is one of my favorite players. I'm one of the few Steelers fans that don't have the Ravens. I'm just honest about Lamar. And all of those teams could have signed Lamar if they felt he was worth it. Not a single team wanted him. No one. Then the Ravens caved and overpaid.

Their continued playoff and big game failure is comparable to Cousins. Call a spade a spade.

Was that an intentional racial slur, or did it just kind of slip out?

The Cowboys are doomed? Did you watch them play the Browns on Sunday? The Browns are doomed.

Doesn’t that go without saying? 😉

Well, to be fair, CLE played without their two starting OTs and lost a second-teamer in the first half. So the were down three OTs playing against Micah Parsons. A way to combat that is to establish a running game but without Chubb (who will probably play around mid-season) their running game sucks. One D returned the punt for a TD early in the second half that game was over. I should also note that Watson's father died last week as well as one of his former Clemson teammates, receiver Deondre Overton.

lots of angst in CLE as Mayfield played well and the fans wanted to keep Flacco. Front office will be all fired if the browns don't do well this season.

Just think if the Browns had drafted Saquon and Josh.

I've been to a DIII college football game. The lesser athleticism is noticeable. A league where Gardner minshew is the flagship talent (vs Tom Brady) might still make money, but a drop in talent will necessarily drop interest and therefore profit.

Exhibit A: Northwestern vs Duke.

I don’t often come to Lando’s defense but I think not so much racial, his position is driven more by the fact that he has backed himself into a corner with his previous comments about Lamar. Rather than just coming clean and admitting he is mistaken he continues to dig a deeper hole for himself. Just admit it Lando, Lamar is one of the premier players in the NFL and was the best quarterback in the league for the 2023 season. “We all know” it and you know it, too.

He's not. Again, every team had the chance to sign him. Who offered him a contract? Facts are facts. Lamar's post season record tells the full story.
The race card is just funny given Mahomes is the best.

Sorry, if you're supposed to be the smartest guy around, you should be more careful with your language, especially after what you have said about Lamar Jackson.

Context is very important. "Call a spade a spade" is an idiom that has nothing to do with race.

Seriously? Everything is racist huh?

Only when a valid argument doesn't exist

You may be right, but there's quite a difference between NFL backups and DIII.

Of course, but sometimes you have to use a more extreme comparison to illustrate the point.

It's fair to say that if DIII was the premier talent level, then interest in a less impressive product would be less.

I don't think it's logical to think that the NFL would have identical interest/$$$ with a league full of backups(ie X amount of talent/performance reduction), but if you go to FCS or DII or DIII level you would.

The league might still do well, but less talent probably means fewer teams, fewer extraordinary highlights, and am overall less compelling product.

Dear God. You must be real fun to be around.
The phrase is from 16th century Europe and means to "tell it like it is."

Let me ask you a question. Do you think voter ID laws are racist? If so, why?

LOL …

The idiom originates in the classical Greek of Plutarch's Apophthegmata Laconica, and was introduced into the English language in 1542 in Nicolas Udall's translation of the Apophthegmes, where Erasmus had seemingly replaced Plutarch's images of "trough" and "fig" with the more familiar "spade".

Is that intentional ignorance or did it just slip out?

@royboy did you look the saying up yet to see how ridiculous you were being or too stubborn to do so?
