I refuse to support the Cowboys as long as a player like TO is playing for them. There are greater things than winning. I would have loved to see the owners take a stand for whats right and show all the over egoed idiots in the NFL that crap like TOs will not be tolerated and no one sign him. Long live the Panthers!

If we were talking college football, and we were pretending that DD was building character of his players, then I would be against T.O. signing. However, this is a billion dollar industry, with a limited time for most players to win a Super Bowl, and I think it would be careless of an NFL owner not to at least look at the positives and negatives of signing someone like T.O. I'm not a fan of his, but as a mild supporter of the Cowboys, I would not mind some more playoff victories (since its been like 9 years). If it doesn't work out, its not like the Cowboys image will suffer long term.

I hear alot of talk that this now pushes a mediocre cowboy team to a playoff cowboy team. HOW?!?! As I recall, the WR were our strength last year.

Signing T.O. doesn't answer our needs for a solid O-line... or, a lack in pass rush. Or our horendous/porous secondary.

We have so many unanswered needs right now that I don't know how strengthening our WR will all of the sudden be the answer when it never was the problem.

Speaking of problems on the O-line, we lost Larry Allen. He just signed a 2-year deal with the Washington Redskins (I think).

49ers

Not surprising with Parcells:

The 49ers aren't just bringing in Allen, though, to serve as a mentor to its young linemen. The 49ers lacked inside toughness and strength in 2005 and Allen, even at this late stage of his career, figures to be the team's best drive-blocker in the running game. One element to be watched is Allen's weight, which has been a frequent problem in past seasons, and a point of contention between him and coach Bill Parcells.

Allen is a huge blocker with great girth and, while his weight has been listed at a conservative 325 pounds for the last several seasons, suspicions are that it might actually be 40-50 pounds more than that. Still, at this year's Pro Bowl, the 12-year veteran demonstrated his sheer power, as he captured the strongest man competition, based on how many times he was able to bench press 225 pounds. Early in his career, Allen was so dominant that even some of the NFL's toughest defensive linemen hated playing against him.

Larry Allen's been a guy riding reputation alone the last 3 or 4 years. Unless all he had to do was lean forward and fall on somebody, he really hasn't been getting it done. Couple that with the fact that he's been (one of?) THE highest paid OL in the league, it's not surprising he was let go. About time, IMO.

      Lambert? You mean that guy left his park ranger job to get back into the game? You better call Eric Morris. We are going to need his toughness on defense at LB.

      Any word on Buggs?

      This may be why he is in the portal. Maybe he was encouraged to enter the portal to open up a spot for a better player.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      Scrap'em is (or was) a thing. I remember in the late 90s there was some sort of Administration decision that "Scrap'em Eagles" would be our official battle cry. Probably only a few people were ever aware of it, but Talons got the memo.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.
