It seems very few players go from practice squad to that team's 53. More often they get grabbed by another team. So if Jerry really felt he could help, and that this wasn't for publicity, he would be better served by making room for him.


Stats on this? I would've thought when a player went on IR, teams looked first to their PS for a replacement. Granted with only 8-9 players in past years, there was a good chance that no replacement existed.

In Dallas' case, they could easily bump a DE from their PS to their 53 man roster just because of the lack of depth there.
I have a solid defensible position

Don't tell me not to watch football, keep the gay shit off family TV.


I didn't say not to watch football. I just said that if you don't want to see those things don't watch those shows that air those things. Whether you watch or not is entirely within your control.

It's a funny thing about TV, radio, movies, etc. The consumer gets to pick and choose of his or her own volition whether or not they watch or listen to a particular program. No one is ever forced to watch or listen to anything they don't want to.

There's these buttons on remote controls. One of them is used to just turn things off completely. The others are used to switch from one program to another. Anytime there's anything on TV I don't want to see, I use them, and like magic, I'm not watching something I don't want to see.

I've got news for you - sports stopped being family TV  
jcn56 : 9/3/2014 8:56 am : link
a long, long time ago.

Forget the gay stuff - how about wife beating? Drunk driving? Dog killing?

Try explaining to your son why an NFL QB had to have an alias because he was floating around giving women herpes. Or how he had to do time in the federal pen because he was electrocuting dogs for kicks.

The gay cake eating is the last thing anyone could point to for 'family time' as far as sports are concerned.

In four years his father will likely be dead, so if he can make it until then, he'll be OK

Not sure what isn't wholesome about those who are homosexuals. It's all about their character and not about who they are attracted to.

I have plenty of incredible homosexual friends, who are far more wholesome than some of the heterosexual people I've met in life. And several of them served our nation proudly. So what's so unwholesome about them or their way of life?

And I don't think you know the definition of "sane" if this is the reason why you think you're sane.

RB^2 : 9/3/2014 9:53 am : link
You've stated your position on this matter. It's a position that the world (the civilized world at least) is rejecting very rapidly. Did you ever consider the possibility that you might be setting your son up for being ostracized by association with your views?

Would you feel comfortable letting your kid hang out with a kid whose dad, for example, doesn't want "darkies" coming by?

Do you want his peers to think of him as the kid with the weird homophobic/racist dad? This is the bigger risk than your kid being gay - if you really consider that to be a "risk".

Jerry probably does have an underlying motive, but this kid shows enough to make their 53 before season's end.
He's not that good against the run, but he gets after the QB and the Cowboys are sorely lacking in that area.

Rocky, this isn't up to you but if your kid turns out to be gay, I'm pretty sure you'll change your tune. He's still your kid.

I agree. If Sam can use this opportunity (no matter JJ's motive) to stick somewhere, then good for him. And the league has shown that DE/LB rush specialists can survive for a few years (at least).

Sounds about right. Pathetic.
Dallas press  
Peter from CT : 9/3/2014 10:17 am : link
"Whatever the reason, there was a general feeling on the outside that Sam didn’t fit the Cowboys’ scheme. Coming out of Missouri at 6-2, 260 pounds, he wasn’t strong enough to be an every-down defensive end in a 4-3. Not athletic enough to play outside linebacker. Not fast, either. Runs a 4.91 40."

Would they send a letter and physically document something like that? If Goddells intention is to get Sam signed to a PS why not just have a conversation with ownership? Seems odd.
