He solidified our interior for a few minutes. That was nice.
Don't think he quite has the longevity for the ROH, tho'.

On second thought, no Moore for Cowboys
August, 7, 2013
By Dan Graziano | ESPNDallas.com
The Dallas Cowboys appeared to have added a solid veteran to their offensive line Tuesday night, agreeing on a one-year contract with guard Brandon Moore. But after sleeping on it, Moore informed the Cowboys Wednesday morning that he had decided to retire.
Odd story, yes, but it may help explain why a well-regarded veteran like Moore had gone unsigned so deep into the offseason. If teams weren't convinced he was passionate about playing (which, clearly, he's not), and if he'd been giving off signals that he was considering retirement, that could be the reason there wasn't a line around the corner to sign him. Moore is one of the more thoughtful, high-minded players in the league, and it could be he's thinking more about the life that awaits him after football than about continuing his life in it.
Which, good for him, but that doesn't help the Cowboys very much, does it? There was some talk about veteran guard Brian Waters, who didn't play last year, and maybe they could revisit that. But they're banged up at guard with Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau both dealing with injury issues this camp, and for a few hours at least Moore looked like a nice upgrade. Now, they are back once again to the old, familiar offensive line drawing board.

Moore played 11 seasons from his house with his family. Leaving them for 5 months wasn't worth the trouble he decided.

Brandon Moore has a young family and couldn't bring himself to leave them for 5 months, per agent Deryk Gilmore. Cowboys still searching

When I first read this, I thought you were talking to Schmidty based on his avatar.

Could it hurt to bring in Waters and see what kind of shape he's in?
This is why we are retarded for waiting until August to worry about the position. And this isn't about the injuries we've had at guard. It's about overvaluing what we had and it's about not having a plan.

No and I agree.
Moore also said something about maybe it being different if this was April or something so there's that too. Of course I think he was asking for about twice as much money at that point too.

So, Ring of Honor for Moore this season or next?
They should do it on MNF

I'm unreasonably bummed about this. If you couldn't tell by the 8 posts or so in a row I made last night at 2 am, I was pretty excited about this.
This is really weighing me down today. I think I need to see a therapist about detaching from this team.
Not ending marriages or anything, but I'm spending waaay more time thinking about it than I should.

Only on this team is Brandon Moore not signing a depressing event
