This isn't fun anymore...

It's hard enough just dealing with the team stinking it up as they are....

.....but I'm at the point where I don't even want to view the comments section here anymore. You guys need to chill. Spending all day telling each other how blind and clueless they are is really getting ridiculous.

And besides, YOU'RE ALL WRONG! The magic number of 10-6 probably won't be enough to make the playoffs. Considering how strong both the East and South are, anything less than 11-5 and we go nowhere in January.

But back to what I was saying before. Chill out. BREATHE.

Question for the Dallas-area people

I'm here in Irving for 4 weeks training for my new job with AT&T. I was wondering if you guys knew of any good restaurants in the Dallas/Irving Area. This is my first time here since I was thirteen, back in 1996 (I think it was 96. Either that or 95). I'm looking for places moderately priced (If I can get in and out for less than $20, then I'm happy).

Thanks in advance!

Terry Bradshaw....former juicer?

Terry Bradshaw....former juicer?

Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw admitted that he took steroids while playing football in the 1970s, according to several reports.

Bradshaw said on The Dan Patrick Show on Thursday, "We did steroids to get away the aches and the speed of healing. My use of steroids from a doctor was to speed up injury, and I thought nothing of it. ... It was to speed up the healing process, that was it. It wasn't to get bigger and stronger and faster."

Koren Robinson

I read earlier that he was released by the Packers. That was a head-scratcher, because I was under the impression that he did pretty well when he returned upon the end of his suspension. Or at least that's what other people were saying.

From: BSPN

The Green Bay Packers released Koren Robinson on Friday, the latest setback for the veteran wide receiver trying to resurrect his career after serving an NFL suspension and jail time.

Not long after Green Bay signed the 6-foot-2, 205-pound Robinson in 2006, the league suspended him for a year for alcohol-related problems.

He sought treatment that included attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and taking a drug that would make him sick if he drank alcohol again.

When he was reinstated to the league he appeared to have put his troubles behind him. Teammates said they were impressed by his work ethic and his obvious efforts to stay clean.

Maybe the Packers simply felt he didn't fit in their future plans, maybe he's lost his effectiveness, I don't know (only game I saw him play in was the playoff game against the Seahawks)

What do you guys think? Would he be someone worth a look? He does seem to have his head on straight and isn't on the brink of suspension ala Chris Henry.

Poll

Should the Cowboys give Koren Robinson a look?

Er......maybe. Couldn't hurt to think it over. But he's really not better than the guys we've got.

While it's a trade 'in principle', it's finally happened.

From: MSNBC

Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple confirmed the teams had an agreement, but no terms had been filed with the NFL office, which already had closed for the day.

The Titans also confirmed the deal, adding that terms had to be finalized. The team had no further comment beyond a two-sentence e-mail.

Dalrymple declined to discuss specifics of the trade.

“What I can confirm is that we have agreed in principle with the Tennessee Titans on a trade that will bring Adam Jones to the Cowboys,” Dalrymple said.

He declined to say who or what the Cowboys might give up in the trade. Specifics likely will be announced Thursday or Friday, Dalrymple said.

ESPN.com reported the deal involved a fourth-round draft pick this weekend and another in 2009 if Jones plays this season. The Titans would pay back that selection in 2009 if Jones is not reinstated for this season.

Can't say that I can argue with the terms of the deal. We get the fourth-rounder back if Pacman doesn't get reinstated. Now here's hoping he actually gets reinstated, so we won't have wasted our time.
