Larry Brown - Not a member of the Dallas Cowboys in 2004.
Antonio Bryant - Not a member of the Dallas Cowboys in 2001 (or presently).
Leonardo Carson - Has been on the team for 6 years. 1 infraction in 6 years?
Quincy Carter - Was cut after "allegedly" testing positive?
Dwayne Goodrich - Was cut after his incident.
Thomas Henderson - Cut from Dallas because of drugs (bad on Dallas?). Not a member of Dallas Cowboys in 1983.
Antonio Hutson - Who?
Derek Ross - Not a member of the Dallas Cowboys in 2001.
Alonzo Spellman - Suffers from bipolar disease. If you're not sure what that is, you should look it up.
Mark Tuinei - Not a member of the Dallas Cowboys in 1999.
Dimitrius Underwood - Suffers from bipolar disease. Again, look it up.
Erik Williams - "Accused" but never found guilty. Won a $1 million lawsuit (along with Michael Irvin) against the DMN for reporting false information. Accuser was charged (and convicted) of perjury.
Sherman Williams - Not a member of the Dallas Cowboys in 2000 or 2001.
Peppi Zellner - Not a member of the Dallas Cowboys in 2003.

Take out the ones that you're reaching on and it looks like any other NFL team. Heck, don't take out the ones you reached on and it still looks like any other NFL team.

Texans (in their brief existence)...
Jabar Gaffney - Charged with stealing from lockers during high school football game
Ramon Walker - Charged with public intoxication and trespassing
Marcus Coleman - Charged with driving while intoxicated
Bryan Pittman - Arrested on suspicion for driving while intoxicated.

And those are just the ones I pulled off the top of my head. Looks like they're well on their way towards keeping up the Texas tradition, eh? :)

Great post Huge.

Newton was not a member of the Cowboys at the time of his arrest. Sanders was not a Cowboys in 2003 either. Arrested for fishing? Wow that is some criminal that Sanders.
 
I don't get the 19-10 thing anymore.. because for that game their is last years Cleveland game and 3 years ago Cincy game.


with that said.. one of the worst moments in Dallas sports history

has to be Super Bowl 13
The Cowboys' Jackie Smith drops a sure touchdown pass in the waning moments of the third quarter.

final score was 35-31 ..that might have been the difference maker there ..kinda along the lines of Renfro's "non catch" in the endzone..swings the ole momentum

Well I found this from ESPN Classic. I kinda remembered him being fired instantly and it shocked me. I think that is the day I stopped respecting the Cowboys. Tom Landry was a class act and JJ didn't have the class to at least have a meeting with him and inform him professionally. But thats the way Jerry works, it's his team. He can do what he wants I guess. Tom Landry deserved better though.


Landry wanted to coach into the 1990s, but on Feb. 25, 1989, Jones bought the Cowboys from H.R. "Bum" Bright and then interrupted Landry's golf game to inform the coach he was being replaced by Jimmy Johnson.

Angered by the move, Landry held a grudge against Jones until 1993. The cold war ended when Landry agreed to appear at Texas Stadium for induction into the Cowboys' ring of honor.

"The whole Cowboys image came from him," Staubach said. "Tom will always make the Dallas Cowboys more than a football team."

I've seen and read different stories on it so I don't really know what happen.

Just curious. You said you stop respecting the Cowboys around that time. Were you a fan or just had respect for them?
 
Some of us (me) are just plain tired of having talk of the Cowboys forced on us....in the newspapers, media .. and on our Texans message board.

I don't care what the Cowboys do. I really don't. I don't care who is on their team, and what they are doing on a daily basis. I don't want to read about their team, and listen to the talk about their past, and their glory days. That's the past. It doesn't interest me to know that they have found religion and are trying to stay out of jail.
You can dissect it and give praise and excuses wherever, but I find that long list of criminal activity of past and present Cowboys boring.


Tom Landry was a very good man.

That is certainly understable. But when you're dealing with the most popular team in Texas, it's bound to happen. ;)

Amazing Race said:
Nope, I will keep the word "hate". You should not take it literally because I do not "hate" anyone. But I do "hate" teams and fans of teams in the context of sports. If you don't think players from one team "hate" the opposition within the context of the game, you do not know much about the competitive spirit in sports. When the Texans do something good on the field, do you get up and scream or do you give an opera-style applause? If you scream, you better be careful...that is too mean-spirited.

I am a Christian, so I do not need to be lectured on Christian values. This is a football board and football is a sport of aggression. My hatred, as stated before is in the spirit of the sport. If you do not like it, I suppose this is not the right forum for you. Get off your :soapbox: You have thin skin...

I'll leave this be because it's obviously going to get out of hand if it hasn't already...I didn't use the word christian anywhere in my post so I am not lecturing you on your values. I know NOTHING about your values. I merely was asking you why you said what you said.....which you answered. So there was no soapbox to stand on and I have pretty thick skin BTW..I exfoliate daily. How this got off into a lecture on Christian values is something you dreamed up.....

Yes he's in the movie. I haven't read a review of the current movie but I really liked the one with Burt Reynolds in it.

WWJD ur name prolly makes some people think ur turning convo into spiritual talk.
 
I never said a thing in my question to the guy about his Christian values or anything along that line. I simply asked if he hated me and he answered the question. But yea you're right. WWJD speaks volumes.
 
How do those games compare to losing to an expansion team in their first ever regular season game?


19-10!
Click to expand...

Losing a SUPERBOWL game is huge!!! :crying: 19-10 was embarrassing for a season, rather a week. Then it was all worth it when some noted bad decision makers (coaches) were allowed to pursue other interests. :highfive:

I respected and liked Tom Landry tremendously, and was saddened by his abrupt firing. Then again, I don't know the details of what was offered prior to the public awareness of the situation. However, in sports, your job is tied in to your performance, your teams performance even injured, so based on that his job security was at risk. :twocents:
 
By "those games" I think he means the Texans losing to the Browns last season and to the Bengals a few years back...not Dallas losing Super Bowls.

In any case, winning any NFL game these days is not a given. It doesn't matter if it's an expansion team playing their first ever game or what. Do you think the Patriots are still embarrassed over losing to the Dolphins last year? If not, why would you think Dallas is still embarassed over a game played more than 3 years ago?
 
I've gotten PM's before Amazing. I will check that. Don't worry about it. In retrospect it was inappropriate for me to question you; you are entitled to your opinion and if I had put any thought into your post I would have known what you meant. So I'm to blame for the misunderstanding and I am sorry about the way I worded my post. I wasn't trying to stir anything up but I did I guess and that was wrong of me.
