Greg Olsen's a tall m'fer. Wonder what life is like at 6'6".
Who's the tallest DCCer here?

You think Micah has more than 1.5 sacks? I like the way you think, boy.

I'm going with 2. Although I'd use him as my spy instead.

Neal can probably spy instead though.

I don't know about party, but I have walked those streets and consumed a shit ton of alcohol whilst doing so.

Lots of strippers there...

 

[Sheik]

That's retarded.

It was the first thing I could find. I never was a fan of Donavan McNabb, Prescott reminds me of him a bit too much. Longer than normal torso, squats legs, throws a lot of balls into the ground, at the feet, behind, 5 yards in front of the WRs.

Other than that he’s pretty good.

Darius Slay says Dallas 'cheated us,' still salty over 2014 playoff loss: 'I hate the Cowboys'

This is how to win over the hometown fans.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay joined ex-Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback and current "All Things Covered" podcast host Bryant McFadden this week to talk football. The subject of the Dallas Cowboys came up. Slay let his feelings fly.

He hates the Cowboys. Just ask him.

Slay's in his second season playing for the arch-rival Eagles. But his anger runs much deeper than that. Prior to joining Philadelphia, Slay played seven seasons for the Detroit Lions, including the 2014 iteration that carried the franchise's best hopes since Barry Sanders wore silver and blue.

The Cowboys spoiled those hopes in a 24-20 wild-card win that postseason that wasn't without controversy. In fact, Slay feels like he and his Lions teammates got "cheated."

"I hate the Cowboys because they cheated us in the playoffs in 2014," Slay said. "When Dez Bryant ran up on the field. They pulled the flag. Yeah, they cheated us."

So how exactly did the Lions get 'cheated?'
In case you weren't watching or don't have total recall of a football game from seven seasons ago, here's a quick rundown. The Lions faced third-and-1 near midfield with 8:24 remaining while holding a 20-17 lead. Quarterback Matthew Stafford looked downfield to tight end Brandon Pettigrew.

Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitches ran through Pettigrew with his back turned to the ball for a cut-and-dry pass interference infraction. An official threw a flag. But then he thought better of it and picked it up. No explanation. No penalty on the play.

Instead of a first down inside the Dallas 30, the Lions punted from midfield. The Cowboys scored the go-ahead touchdown on their ensuing possession, and that was that for Detroit's postseason.

Slay's still mad about it. In fact, he told McFadden that he later shut down trade talks when he heard the Cowboys were interested in him.

It's not clear when the Cowboys were interested or if Slay had any actual say on a potential trade. But it's very clear that he had and maintains zero interest in suiting up for "America's team."

That’s true.

I will bench your ass with the quickness if you compare my QB to McNappy again.

McNabb was a massive Dbag. Dak seems like a great human.

Slay should have prevented Dallas from scoring. He does play defense. Bitch.

Somebody give Bryan Broaddus a sedative. Stat.

Tell us about yourself, Zero. How did you become a Cowboys fan?

My first Cowboys memory is Don Meredith announcing his retirement from football.

Are we wearing white pants?

Oh fuck no.

...I have walked those streets and consumed a shit ton of alcohol whilst doing so.

"whilst"?

 

[Cotton]

"whilst"?

I'm cultured, fucker.

 

[Sheik]

McNabb was a massive Dbag. Dak seems like a great human.

He is definitely likable, which is why I don’t constantly trash him. He’s the QB they married.

 

[Foobio]

The McNabb dui video is great entertainment if you haven’t seen it

"I just live right there."
