I hope he makes the team. And I hope he plays in a night game. And I hope he gets a sack.

Then I can ask you guys if you saw Sam's sack last night.

Are we toeing the line here? I'll stop.
:lol

His half-sacks would be called the ol' Eiffel Tower?

I have to say thanks to you all here.

This is blowing up (no pun intended) at every DC message board.

Here?

Feh. We take it in stride.

Here we take pit bulls and police brutality a lot more seriously.

Props, because this is like, really not all that significant.

Maybe I have issues, but I don't use the players on a sports team to make a social platform.

I don't care if they molest collies and roast human babies every fourth full moon.

This is entertainment. Not a mirror for real life.

I guess that fantasy aspect is what some cling to. Trying to pretend the NFL is full of heroes and great stories.

I wouldn't give one single fuck if every single one of our players took part in a 53 man homosexual orgy after every single game if it meant we were a winning team.

Okay, let's not get carried away. Damn, man.

Someone that has LT on FB has GOT to photoshop his face over Jones with "All In" as the caption.

Huh? I would watch all of that if we could just win another playoff game sooner than we have under the era of The J.

Don't you judge me.

We've seen all this before with Favre and Tebow and TO. The media is so voracious for a 30 second soundbite that once they get into a story like this that they know people will tune in for they never let go. In our case, this is the kind of attention Jerry craves. I think it might be possible having Sam on our roster would be less distracting than on others just due to the sheer amount on nonsense our team already deals with. I'm all for bringing him in and giving him a shot. We need the help

That is a healthy way of looking at it.

And let's take a real honest look at it.

It is not like he is part of the active roster.

Nor is he starting.

He is about as insignificant as you can be to draw a paycheck in this league.

The media thing is annoying but I really don't give a shit in the long run.

I gave up being embarrassed for being a Cowboys fan a long long time ago.

Watch for him to implode from the pressure of the attention he will draw from being on the Cowboys.

I'm just glad he's not Asian, or it'd be all "cum of sum yung guy" for eternity
