Over 500 Dallas Mavericks fans have donated and raised over $16,000.00 to fund anti- Mavs GM Nico Harrison, and Mavs owners billboards in protest to Luka Doncic being traded.
Mavs fans have also organized a protest for this Saturday at the American Airlines center.
This echoes the sentiment of the majority of #CowboysNation and is a candidate for quote of the last quarter century from @ZachWolchuk
“It’s disgraceful. And he’s [Jerry Jones] still going to make his money because schmucks like me that don’t love the #Cowboys because of the Joneses, you love the Cowboys because you grew up going to games with your family members and you fall in love with the sport. And I love the #DallasCowboys because of the Dallas Cowboys. Not because of the names on the back of the jerseys or who owns the team, but it’s because of the team. But unfortunately now it’s just depression. That’s what it is being a Cowboys fan. It’s utter depression and anger and where the hell do I go from here… It’s disgraceful, it’s a slap in the face to your fans. It’s like you’re doing a bit. Do you give a damn? The answer is no, you don’t right now. You don’t care about winning a championship. And all you care are about is printing money” - Zach Wolchuk
My biggest issue with Mike, is he’s proven to not be a good play-caller/designer. He’s proven to be a bad game manager. He’s proven he can’t fix the discipline issues. He’s proven the team is consistently not prepared to face playoff teams.
So why are you bringing him back?
Jerry talking about Michael Irvin crying 30+ years ago is me talking about how gas used to cost a dollar a gallon. Those golden days are over. Focus on the now.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team “has some things in the mix” ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, indicating Dallas could be buyers at the deadline.
“We’ll probably do a couple things this week..I’m a long way from being dismayed about this team this year.”
#DallasCowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are an absolute disaster and appear to be headed into a full, tear-it-down rebuild with a freshly-minted $60M QB. How bout dem Cowboys?
So many problems with this thing — worst run defense in the league, AND the worst run offense too? It’s a perfectly balanced catastrophe.
They now clearly need to rebuild significant parts of both lines — which could take years. Along with a laundry list of other massively glaring needs — including hiring a new coaching staff.
But this time, the train wreck somehow feels even larger than just the enormous personnel and coaching troubles at hand.
The last time the Cowboys were in the NFC championship game — I’m pretty sure Jim McMahon, Art Monk and Warren Moon were still playing. Dude, Warren Moon is 67.
This time, the full demoralizing weight of the entire miserable (almost 30 year) drought seems at the forefront.
Oddly, while reflecting on the end of days, I somehow keep coming back to one preposterous, little story from camp.
The great DeMarvion Overshown — undeniably one of the Cowboys BEST players — was apparently told he couldn’t wear his favorite number (#0) because… um… well… uh… Rowdy wears #00.
Dude. ROWDY. The fvc%ing mascot???
Seriously?
This has to be the dumbest shit in #DallasCowboys history. Maybe league history. Maybe Earth history.
I was just thinking about the day @ktfuntweets told us about this insanity on the show. I found myself wondering if it could possibly be true. Maybe I misunderstood. Maybe he was joking.
Nope. It’s actually real. Here’s an interview with Overshown and the great @CBS11BillJones where they discussed this topic back in camp on @CBS11.
I mean…. this is glorious.
And also, I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. I don’t think I can ever move on. I love it so much. Feels like something right out of The Righteous Gemstones.
Fvc%ing Rowdy? Are you serious? This somehow feels emblematic of everything that is wrong with the franchise.
The mascot has dibs on a jersey number that a player wants? Of course. Because, ya know, the giant muppet wears a similar number while dancing around in a stupid looking oversized felt cartoon head on the sideline? It’s important work.
Are you guys maybe worried about the wrong shit?
Can you imagine the Mavs telling Luka he couldn’t wear #77 because Mavs Man wears it during his mini-trampoline bit?
The league probably should’ve just contracted the franchise upon hearing this story. In fact, if there was ever a time for us to pack up humanity and jumpstart some Elon Super-Ark spaceship to Mars, this might’ve been it. We may not get a more-identifiable signal to go ahead and hit the reset button as a planet.
Now look — I admit, I might be overreacting to something that doesn’t really matter. I mean, if Overshown had been wearing #0, I get it, they’d still have the exact same record. Clearly this isn’t the actual reason that they’re so unbelievably cooked. But for me, it might be the hood ornament on the poop wagon.
This absurd, little story is the final cherry-on-top, inescapable doom-realization moment for one of the longest, most painful, and most fruitless sports pilgrimages of my lifetime.
And so…. here we are.
It’s time to rebuild. All of it. The whole damn thing. The culture is broken. The business-first formula has had its day. I mean decade. I mean decades. It’s time for the circus to go quiet. It’s time to make football the priority again.
Damnit. As I thumb-type this marathon post on my iPhone, I fully realize I might’ve faxed these exact words in letter-form to @SkinWade back in the Dave Campo era.
Despite the broken record nature of this generic sportstalk manifesto, it’s all remarkably still on point. Apparently, we’ve all unknowingly been trapped in an endless Groundhog Day remake.
Bottom line…. you have to prioritize winning over all else. Then you gotta keep the main thing the main thing. And the main thing can’t be your Forbes valuation.
Jerry Jones offers no apology from last week's rant on the @1053thefan.
He says the radio station gets the privilege of having him, Stephen Jones and Mike McCarthy on
TOLOS Unite! @1053thefan Boycott Jerry. Boycott attending @dallascowboys games. Boycott attending events @ATTStadium. I’ve been boycotting Jerry since 2015. It’s time you do the same!
@DezBryant Dez, I work as a Parent Facilitator for one of our DFW School Districts. A couple of weeks ago, I did a presentation on “Cultivating Father and Family Engagement.” I concluded my presentation with your video from RC’s Podcast. Keep spreading your WORD!
