Since the 2014 season is over for them figured I would start a 2015 thread.

I'm so shocked 'old money' is supporting Jeb.
Yeah, right?...lol.
Only in post-modern America can names like Bush and Clinton even be seriously considered again. Americans need to say 'no' to both.
The pods whose (supposed) votes decide national election are American-In-Name-Only (illegal OR dead.)
As usual, the insane, the lazy, Commie, Union, and Statist (many with lucrative goob-jobs) will outnumber the rest of us and elect another subversive. That is if the current emperor and tyrant leaves on schedule. (50-50 odds.)

NY Rangers lost a TOUGH game, 1-zip last night to the Caps :-(
It was a frenetic, wild action-packed display of skill, heart and determination -- despite a 1-0 score. #1-seed Rangers are now down 2-1 in the series. Tomorrow night is a must-win (in DC.)
Meanwhile, with the Yanks up 1-0 in the 8th to the Jays, MGR Joe Girardi inexplicable decides NOT to go to the league's best set-up guy and closer to finish what should have been a masterpiece. They lost 3-1. Girardi blew it.

The pitcher (big kid) was the no wheels. Mrs. RLH took some snapshots but have not looked at them yet.

Wait...the big guy and pitcher who has "no wheels" is your son, right?
Good. At least Mrs. RLH got some pix...but you didn't see them yet? Man, I couldn't have waited to see them. Hope her vantage point was good.

Sorry I wrote as if you were 'there.':)
Big kid different kid than my son. My son is tall for his age (10) and thin (and has wheels:). The big kid is a bit chubby and very tall. Puts the smoke in the strike zone. His grandma is his guardian and she keeps a copy of his birth certificate in her purse as he has been challenged on his age by other coaches in the past.
So the big kid almost put one over the fence which is pretty Hooah for his age.

Did you see where the Cowboys signed undrafted free agent La'el Collins to a guaranteed 3 year contract. Kid was supposed to be a first round pick but went undrafted because there was talk he had a hand in the death of his girlfriend.
They sure are making a haul this year, this makes 3 guys who should have went in the 1st round. Albeit 2 of them may turn out to be big headaches BTA they may just work out. Oh well time will tell if they were good moves or not, if not minimal financial outlay..
Have found out they have signed 15 undrafted free agents but haven't found the full list will do some research tonight after work to see if I can find them all. One was a RB and another is a potential replacement for Harris, 5 WRs in all, don't know about QBs though.

Yes just read the article on Collins. He is not a suspect in that horrible shooting. Someone went in there to murder that woman...truly sad. She was 8 months pregnant and the child survived for a few days if I remember correctly.
DNA tests showed the kid was not Collins'.

This is the latest/greatest list I could find on signed undrafted free agents and mini camp player invites, 40 players altogether. Only 2 QBs though, usually they do 3 or more to spread out all the throwing so somebody doesn't get hurt.
Out of this list they're hoping to find at least one WR/PR/KR/Special teams player, and I think they're also looking for another Special Teams/LB or Special Teams/S/CB.

Just found another article where they are still whining about the Cowboys not drafting a RB or QB.

Haven't really seen much on how the rookie camp went other than Gregory not being hydrated enough on the first day and about Dez not showing up. Most of the buzz I'm seeing is which WR is gonna replace Harris as KR/PR/WR/Special teamer.

My son pointed out a drone (small one) at a RR Express game. When we were heading to the parking lot it landed on the field. Have no idea what they were using it for.

You would think they would just be using it for different camera angles of the game/crowd for the big screen.

I guess we'll find out.
You know they want to keep Dez but don't want to pay him what they think it's gonna take to keep him, which in today's market means he's way overpaid.

I actually think the average of the top 3-5 is proper pay for Dez. He is not better than the top 3 but more like the 5th best receiver in the game.
The problem for Dez is that Tony has only another year or 2 and thats it. After that Cowboys are in a rebuilding phase and do not need to be held down by crazy contracts. No win situations. Dez wants a 5 year contract with guaranty pay.

This team "overall" is way too young to go into another "total" rebuilding phase. Teams are always rebuilding to some extent (get rid of 3-4 older guys acquire 3-4 younger ones every year) some just require more rebuilding than others. And some have the right players but the coaching staff needs to be schitt canned.
Jerry and Company will either find Romo's replacement in the next draft or will go after one via the trade/FA route.

Cowboys DE Greg Hardy's suspension reduced to 4 games
Well the funny part about this situation is "BOTH" of them called 911 and accused the other of attacking them. And then after it's just about all over with she can't be found to testify at the trial so all of the charges are dropped.
Since he only played one game last year because of this and lost all of that money you would think "time served" would be enough. At least it was in Adrian Peterson's case so why not in Hardy's case?? (I guess the seriousness of the charge outweighs the actual validity of the charge)...
Remember when Michael Irvin and Erik Williams were accused of rape and it was found out the woman lied about it. Hmmmmm kinda makes you wonder about Hardys case.

Horn: What ESPN plans to do in 90-minute Cowboys training camp specialBarry Horn Follow @bhorn55 BHorn@dallasnews.com
Published: 24 July 2015 05:02 PM
Updated: 25 July 2015 01:28 AM
Largely boxed out from prime-time regular-season Cowboys games by NBC, which has an annual three-to-one advantage, and outside the lines when it comes to training camp sagas as brought to you by HBO’s Hard Knocks, ESPN has come up with a way to add Cowboys content to its programming lineup.
Coming to a TV set near you on Aug. 4, a Tuesday, will be a live 90-minute special from the Cowboys’ Oxnard, Calif., training camp.
The idea is to take viewers through an afternoon practice with Kenny Mayne, Jon Gruden and Darren Woodson as tour guides.
This will be ESPN’s second such foray into training camp. Last summer the concept debuted with the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. If you think the New England Patriots, the Seahawks’ successors as kings of the hill, would be the logical choice for this summer, you haven’t been paying attention.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick would rather have outside cameras at his anesthesia-less root canal than invite them into his training camp laboratory. The Patriots, history has shown, prefer to be on the other side of the lens.
So when ESPN producer Jay Rothman decided on an encore performance of his inside training camp experiment, he went directly to a team with “meat on the bone” that doesn’t mind offering a taste. The Cowboys provide the perfect ingredients, including an owner who likes cameras and a magnet that draws eyeballs.
In an interview this week, Rothman said he approached the receptive Cowboys at the Super Bowl and got the final approval last month.
“Jerry Jones is terrific, he gets it,” said Rothman, whose main role is producing Monday Night Football. “And there’s no secret that with the Cowboys, the ratings are big.”
(Note: The Cowboys-Redskins appearance on Monday Night Football in October was easily the highest-rated and most-watched game on ESPN last season.)
The idea for the training camp series popped into Rothman’s head while he watched an ESPN special that focused on Boston Red Sox batting practice soon after the start of the 2014 season.
(Added note: The other team taking batting practice that day at Fenway Park was the Rangers.)
Rothman thought the idea would easily translate to the NFL.
Unlike Hard Knocks, which lingers at training camps and depends on character development, Rothman’s production will rely on Xs and Os. Already he has met with Gruden and Woodson for six hours of Cowboys film study.
You might expect ESPN to “mike up” several players, coaches and a certain general manager. But that won’t be the case.
Rothman explained he tried that approach with the Seahawks and didn’t like the results. Besides, it’s always dangerous to have hot microphones in a live athletic setting.
Toward the end of our conversation, Rothman noted that although his show, scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m., was booked for 90 minutes, it could go longer.
(Final note: Last season Gruden sat down with Jones for what was to be a four-minute feature. They talked much longer. Rothman deemed it worthy for more. There was “enough meat on the bone” for a 30-minute special, which drew surprisingly strong ratings.)
Most assuredly there will be replays of the Cowboys training camp show on a variety of ESPN networks. Who knows? This could translate into an annual event. Maybe even a series. When it comes to the Cowboys, the networks’ appetites are insatiable.
Didn't know if you guys had seen this or not.

the boys didn't pick a RB ... interesting .They either believe McFadden solves that void, OR will rummage thru roster dumpsters and free agency.
From what I'm hearing from training camp McFadden is doing just fine, they are happy with what they have... Now that could change tomorrow as you all well know...

Thinking the Jints need to score in the high 20s each week . But was listening to Kim Jones and she seems to think that the Spagnola D will attack regardless of the skill level of the players ...which will make a big difference from last years Jints D .
I do think the Phillie Beagles will be even better than last year . But Murray will not be as productive back as he was with Dallas . I liked what I saw of Joseph Randel so kinda surprised that the Cowboys are going to give McFadden a lot of touches.
Going to miss Steve Weatherford on the Jints . I like punters who play the game like linebackers . He also has the best build of any player in the game . espn.go.com/video/clip? id=11817111

I don't think any team would stand much of a chance of making the playoffs scoring less than 27 points a game. Especially now in the salary cap era were it's very hard to have both a good offense and a good defense, it's usually one or the other...

Seahawks averaged only 20 ppg last year and made super bowl.
#116. To: Dead Culture Watch (#115)
Actually almost 25 points per game, 24.625 to be precise... And their strength is on defense not offense where they gave up only 15.875 points per game...
The average defense gave up right at 23 points per game last year which is what I was basing my statement on...
The Giants averaged giving up exactly 25 points per game last year, 400 in 16 games.

Spags has no other choice than to be super aggressive with an individual skill level on the D that's totally lacking. The sum is going to have to be much greater than its inferior parts.
Going to miss Steve Weatherford on the Jints . I like punters who play the game like linebackers .
Didn't understand why Weatherford was cut, but yeah -- gonna miss him. The guy was fearless as a punter.
