Yes i agree 100%. For such a young guy considering, he made the right decision, IMO. We know so much more now about CTE than we did even five years ago. It is sad in one regard because if you believe the experts, you have some players that are showing early signs of CTE when they are still young adults in high school.

I worry about it sometimes too, because I played football from early in my life, all the way through middle school and through high school. After high school while in college, i got into boxing, having dozens of amateur fights. Some boxers i knew had already had 100 amateur fights before even turning pro. I experimented in MMA between 2007 and 2010, training in BJJ, already having a long background in Kenpo Karate. The "gym fights" are the ones you don't hear about and I obviously took major licks as all aspiring fighters do. I broke my neck after college and didn't even know about it at the time, only finding out when I failed my physical in 2010 just before I was going to have my first MMA fight as a professional, and had a fractured C7 vertebrae. I had been in a car accident a few years earlier when the injury happened, i didn't even know it at the time and i thought at the time my symptoms were just whiplash.

I am 100% healthy now and feel the best i've felt in years, and sometimes the desire to compete again is pretty strong. But what i know now about neck injuries, as well as CTE, i probably will never have another fight besides maybe some very light gym sparring and grappling. If I was not married, the desire to compete would probably be stronger but i am not going to tempt fate now. Prayers to anyone going through injuries / concerned about CTE....

So keep beating women, using drugs, committing petty theft, and pulling guns on folks?

And the GM/Owner continue to lie and protect these type of people.

And the argument for is money. Its really more of a rationalization than argument. Your rationalizing Jerry's behavior of accepting into the cowboys really shit people who continue to embarrass the organization.

Its ok, but ill continue to call bullshit by Jerry and his nutless coach when I see.

And yet again, you missed my point. Ignore my avatar for a moment and try and engage in this from a neutral perspective. I think that little blue star is giving you tunnel vision.

I used the Cowboys as an EXAMPLE. My point is revenue and viewership is always on the rise across the ENTIRE NFL. Not just Dallas. If suspensions, PEDs, dope smoking are "so bad and detrimental" to the league as a whole, then why is business so damn good?

No one really cares.

Anyone else notice all of these new 2 billion dollar stadiums getting built across the league? Revenue is up no matter who is smoking dope, getting arrested, on trial, cheating, taking PEDs.

Hell, Mike Vicks popularity was ENHANCED after he was convicted of a FELONY and imprisoned. He had no problem finding work. Stadiums sold out, games were played, the league moved on. No one cared that he was a convicted felon.

your moving the argument and trying to change the discussion...and its not working.

My original statements have zero to do with revenue, jersey sales or whatever. Im clearly commenting on the mishandling of the Cowboys situation of Lucky dipshit. The complete hypocrisy of the Cowboys particular with this situation and the facts their handling of personnel of recent past.

you came in and say "look at this over here with revenues, jersey sales and typically dumb shit" and then try to umbrella everything including my comments and say "no big deal".

Your rationalizing...I said, you can do this if you want. Lots of folks do this to justify thinking. It works for some.

You're right. Of course you're right. What was I thinking?

Congrats BTW of the handling of the whole Scot McCloughan thing. Masterful.

I don't post much, but I've read your stuff for over a decade now. And while you're certainly not the most offensive Cowboys fan I know, you're the one here on a Redskins board. So don't be too surprised when you don't always get a warm, fuzzy welcome here. Your arguments are obviously tainted blue, as ours are B & G. But this is our home, not yours.

So I wonder, other than to aggravate us, what in the h--- are you doing here?

We might need a TMZ type thread ....

Heard some really good things about Doctson yesterday. Apparently, his foot work is really really good. Heard about this complicated route he ran where he turned Bree around twice then made a sliding catch.

"He displayed great footwork, particularly as he put a move on Bashaud Breeland at the line and ran free for a catch. Later, Doctson showed good speed as he raced by Quinton Dunbar on a deep throw up the left sideline. Doctson consistently created separation on his routes and made tough catches at times."

Madden gave Jonathan Allen the lowest grade for a 1st rounder at 73 ... wtf. also reddick got a 73. I know madden ratings mean nothing in real life but dang, that hurts my madden team.
