Rumors/Schefter: DAL/BUF Looking at Vick

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

That is true, Cincy signs them then they have their run ins with the law. If Dallas did that, it would make their third player in the last 4 years that they would have signed who has had a recent run in with the law, Tank, Pac-Man and then Vick. Of the previous two, they are batting .500.....Johnson stayed out of trouble, Pac-Man didn't.

Try 3rd player in the last 2 years. Tank was signed around 2 years ago.

It was the Cowboy fans.....

And Dallas does it way more than any other team. Notice how no other team has picked up Pacman since Dallas cut him?

Um...no dude...Cowboy fans didn't come up with ..and the Cowboys hated it..

Origins of America's Team Bob Ryan, the Vice President and editor-in-chief of NFL Films, coined this for the Cowboys in 1979. After preparing and editing the team's 1978 season highlight film he had to come up with a le for the film. He was quoted as saying:
I wanted to come up with a different twist on their team highlight film. I noticed then, and had noticed earlier, that wherever the Cowboys played, you saw more people in the stands with Cowboys jerseys and hats and pennants. Plus, they were always the national game on television.
During the Cowboys' first game of the 1979 season, a nationally televised game against the St. Louis Cardinals (which Dallas won 22-21), the television announcer introduced the Cowboys as America's Team and the name stuck.
Dallas's Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry originally did not approve of the appellation of America's Team. He felt that it would give opposing teams extra incentive to play harder.

Two times is "way more"?

yes, it is. The difference between 2 and 0 is pretty significant.

Splitting hairs.

It has still only been 2 players.

[J.T.]

I wonder if mikey has a problem with genpop criminals referring to the Bengals as "we" and "us".

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I still think Mexico's team would be better.

[samikeyp]

I disagree. Not that it matters because its a dead issue.

Cowboys fans did not come up with the nickname "America's Team."

Cute, you and 90210 can copy paste the same wikipedia page.

[samikeyp]

2 more than any other team.

but still only 2.

I had no problem with the Johnson signing...Pac-Man...didn't like that one.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I disagree.

I'm sure the guy who Pacman's body guard put in a wheel chair feels the same way.

[Spursfan092120]

Cute, you and 90210 can copy paste the same wikipedia page.

just showing proof. Already knew the answer...I just know you would ask for a link..so I killed two birds with one stone.

Cute, you were still wrong.

[Spursfan092120]

but still only 2.

Agreed. I hated signing that guy. I knew something was going to happen.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

but still only 2.

So if I murder two people, is it not a big deal since it's "only 2".

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Cute, you were still wrong.

Cute, I really don't give a flying . Either way it's a stupid nickname for a team with a mostly Mexican fan base.

Mexican national soccer team, AKA America's team.

I wouldn't have mind the signing if Pacman kept his nose clean, but he didn't. He also didn't produce when he played. I think the fact that Pacman hasn't been signed is due more to his production on the field, then with his history. I won't say that his history isn't an issue, because I'm pretty sure that is part of the reason. However, his play on the field wasn't that good, so I can see why teams haven't picked him up.

[samikeyp]

No, murder is wrong period and if Dallas was talking about signing two murderers that would be totally different. They would lose a ton of fans, myself included. That is why I was against the Pac-Man signing. A guy was paraylzed because Pac-Man was stupid. Tank was just an idiot and was only hurting himself.

Murdering 2 people and a football team signing two players of questionable character are two different things.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I wouldn't have mind the signing if Pacman kept his nose clean

yeah, and Megan Fox probably wouldn't mind ing me if I was better looking.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

No, murder is wrong period

And telling your bodyguard to shoot someone isn't?

[samikeyp]

And telling your bodyguard to shoot someone isn't?

Oh making up stuff that I said now, nice!

I already explained why I didn't like the Pac-Man signing....you chose to ignore it.
