Really? You don't think any of the three are worth keeping?

Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?
 

I actually thought the same thing to myself jokingly. PR nightmare but it is hella clever. Underhanded as hell but hey you gotta do what you gotta do right?
Even funnier is if they all came clean after.

Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?
 

It's original, I'll give you that. But it's kind of...idk..gross to think about. Plus the players would be attacked publicly for falsely supporting it. In today's world, that's would make all sorts of news.

I did hear something, not sure if it's true. Related to the whole national anthem thing. I heard Jerry Jones told his players that if they sit or kneel or whatever during the anthem, he'll bench them or kick them off the team.

Anyone know anything about this and if it's true? I think it's awesome.

That is a tough question. Uhmmmm.........Ask me next week.

Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?
 

Living up in North Texas, I read and hear far too much of Jerruh but I don't think that applies to the "good players" in Dallas. The idea to say a player like Jason Witten, Tyron Smith, Dez etc would get cut if kneeled for the N/A would be absurd. A fine or half game suspension...maybe. Hell, Jerruh would "take a knee" if he thought it would lead his team to another Super Bowl.

God Bless America.

Yeah, I'm saying it jokingly -- just that there are ways to get your players if you really want to get creative.

You'd be using the ridiculous ESPN talking heads to your advantage. The players would know it's just for staying on this roster, would feel like they're beating the NFL at their own game. And your media perception would be great, cause you're giving your players their "platform." Then again, the consequences would probably be catastrophic!

Not saying I condone mixing politics with football(I actually hate that) -- it just all depends on how bad you want your guys!

Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?
 

So he really said that huh? Well, good for him. I really don't like the guy much, but if he really said that to his players, I respect that.

Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?
 

So you think a player will be OK with not signing an NFL contract at about $450,000 per year just for a chance to stay on the Saints practice squad, in addition to agreeing to do something underhanded?

Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?
 

MLB does it much better with its minor-league option years. You have 3 or so years where you can retain the younger/newer player's rights and move them between majors/minors without waiving them. I think the NFL organizations that find diamonds in the rough should be rewarded for their scouting, not screwed over because they don't have a spot for them at the time because of reasons out of their control (injuries). Compared to MLB and NBA, these rules stink. You shouldn't be able to snipe another team's up-and-comer just because that team didn't have room for them.

Re: Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?
 

Yea. Prescott could walk to mid field, drop his pants, squat, and leave a steamy turd then wipe his ass with the American flag and Jerry would lick it clean if he thought he could get a SB out of it.
