Roy Williams Offers the Ultimate Cowboy Insult: The Lions Tried Harder

Let’s run this down:

Call out the entire team for their practice habits? Check!
Question the coaching staff, and the $3,000,000 Golden Boy in particular? Check!
Refuse to accept even a shred of personal accountability? Check!
Build a ready-made distraction for 2009 eight months before the season even starts? Check!
Cash my $20 million guaranteed lottery ticket? Check!

Money well spent, Dallas! You be sure and enjoy Roy Williams now.

Maybe Roy has a point here. If this is true (and it seems as if all other comments have led to this same conclusion), then some definite changes need to be made. If the Cowboys ever want considered for a Super Bowl, they must do more than just show up. They must be professional, work hard, and then they can recieve their reward. No one will just give it to them. 

I heard the entire interview and Williams never said anything about the Lions trying harder than the Cowboys.  This type of reporting makes me mad.  Throughout the interview, Williams was extremely cautious not to say anything that would get him on SC. 

Oh, and just noticed the quote again…notice that "the easiest offense to figure out" is the only thing quoted….why?  Because the author of this false article knows he never said that about the Lions.

Maybe that statement isn’t true, but what is true is that the Cowboys are a mess. I been a Cowboys fan for a long time and I have to say they have been disappointing for awhile now. They are great at giving you hope and then fizzling in the end. Shinning and promising on the outside but a mess on the inside. Hopefully they can turn things around but it doesn’t look promising for 2009 for the Cowboys.

With the 20th pick, the Detroit lions select…thanks Jerry. 

Hey another Cowboy WR being a distraction, what else is new.  Jerry doesn’t care just keep the Cowboys in the news. Hey Roy you still missed the playoffs again.

I hope jerry jones lives forever.

It’s like the old rental car thing… #32 tries harder. It’s basically why they hired OJ.

Wow, talk about the ultimate insult. Just comparing the Cowboys to the Lions is bad enough.  I don’t think it really matters what Williams really said or didn’t say.  The fact is the Cowboys offense is too predictable.  It must be absolutely embarassing to a receiver to be asked by a cornerback why he is running the same route over and over. I just wish Jerry Jones would be embarassed enough to get with the program and realize this is the NFL.  These are professionals that you are  competing against both as players and coaches and you have to earn your success.  Looking at the coaches Jerry Jones has hired since being owner of the Cowboys, I have to question his commitment to winning.

I don’t even care what these clowns say anymore, they just need to stay out of the spotlight and shut up. The only words I want coming out of any Cowboy’s mouth, coaches and owner included, is talk of how they’re going to improve this coming season. And I don’t even want the past alluded to. The longer this damn circus is allowed (Jerry) to go on, it will. Every day more whiners are outed, but I’ve yet to see someone with b*lls step up. And calling out the whole team, even if you include yourself, doesn’t count as having some rocks.

ROY needs to look at his old teams record while he was with them! I agree that the COWBOYS effort is lacking, but ROY is not in the position to do the questioning. He should be happy just being a member of a team that is in contention every year and keep his mouth closed. The real reason ROY is upset and mouthing off is probably because he is not the BIG FISH in the pond any longer and he is not getting the ball thrown to him as much. He can be a valuable player with the COWBOYS but only practice, hard work, learning the play book and system as well as being a respectable team member will enable him to be the go to guy like he was with his previous team.

The 0-16 Detroit Lions practice harder than the Cowboys. That sums it up as far as I’m concerned, at how and why the Dallas Cowboys 2008 season went as it did.
