Gooooooooo Cowboys!!!!!

[TheSloth]

all the way to way the NFC championship game and then pleeeease get crushed.

Very interesting salary related facts for the next season.

[Schwa.]

Can't help but think that no salary cap will kill a few teams. Small markets can't compete (see MLB)

[mister slippery]

Sloth,

Are you actually a Cowboys fan, or is it just something to do with the article you posted that I didn't read yet?

We've already got a good Arsenal/Chelsea thing, do we actually have a Cowboys/Vikings thing brewing as well?

:content:

All the best.

[mister slippery]

...and then I read the article.

Oh well, should be a good game, methinks.

[Booche]

Dan Snyder has an impressive record of signing free agents.

[Whitey]

Yes, he does, but he seems to have stepped aside a bit and is going to let the GM and the coach run the team.

[TheSloth]

Slippery,

I hate the Cowboys with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. I'll be cheering for Purple Jesus and Old Balls Favre.

In relation to the article, I'm a big fan of the salary cap era in football and even though the Redskins may benefit (we shall see) I prefer the level playing field.

I'll look for a source to back this up- but it was a case study in my Econ 301 class that teams who finish in the Top 4 but do not win the championship, are more financially successful than those who hoist the cup/ trophy/ banner....

[TheSloth]

Aarrrrgh! Doesn't matter how many defensive studs the Redskins acquire they just signed Jim Haslett as their defensive coordinator. For fuck's sake, Jim guided that vaunted and terrifying Rams defence from 2006-2008.

I don't have time to dig up stats on him, I remember thinking he was shitty head coach when he was in NO and I hate him already. Hopefully I’m wrong.

2004 49 New Orleans Saints NFL 16 8 8 .500

2005 50 New Orleans Saints NFL 16 13 3 .188

2008 53 St. Louis Rams NFL 12 2 10 .167

Games over .500: -14

Seems about right for a Buffalo Bills draft choice.....

[Northern Wish]

There seems to be lots of discussion on how he really shot his own foot by sticking by Aaron Rodgers while in NO....... Ouch.

[TheSloth]

Sorry to the thread jack a little with the Redskins shit but Sean got me interested in the stats.

New Orleans - Defence Rank

2000 - 8th (Head Coach)

2001 - 16th (Head Coach)

2002 - 27th (Head Coach)

2003 - 18th (Head Coach)

2004 - 32nd (Head Coach)

Well he guided that team right into the basement.

St. Louis Rams - Defence Rank

2006 - 23rd (Defensive Coordinator)

2007 - 21st (Defensive Coordinator)

2008 - 28th (Head Coach)

I guess that Rams team didn't really play D anyway but still, how the fuck could this guy be considered a defensive coordinator is beyond me.

Aaron Brooks? Completely forgot about that guy.

[Northern Wish]

The only bright spot if you can call it that, is that the only time his team 'improved' on defense is while he was a DCo. All the way from 23rd to 21st!!

At least hes not your head coach...From 8th to last overall in 5 short years.

[Schwa.]

I hate the Cowboys with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. I'll be cheering for Purple Jesus and Old Balls Favre.

[peipunk]

I refuse to cheer for Favre ever since that old cunt took that $150 Proline ticket right out of my pocket with that impossible throw at the start of the year.

I am rooting for a very highly unlikely Cardinals-Ravens Superbowl!

Apparently so had I. Ha ha ha
