I hate when anonymous people talk crap about other people. Gossip is all I am hearing. The way I handle myself is say what I have to say, at work, if I have a perceived issue, I address that person, in a respectful manner.

The cowboys are the masters of the cover-up.  Did you know Michael Irvin stabbed a teammate in the neck with scissors?

Why do I get the feeling that $ and contract are at the root of the story?

Is there anyone here who still wouldn't take this guy in a heartbeat? Or be able to redo our 2021 draft?

Didn't think so.

Parsons had a rep in college for being full on/all in and 'difficult' to channel. Perhaps given his super intensity he does not appreciate the Jones' boys rather more laid back version of 'all in'?

I always ask myself how a story appears, why it comes in the way it does and who stands to benefit. When stuff like this comes out around a mega-franchise like Dallas that has disproportionate media influence in their market I always consider it a strong possibility the team is planting it (increased when it is this type of anonymous quoting via a minor outlet). Is it designed to influence contract negotiations or shift public opinion to pave way for a possible trade?

No NY team, not even the Yankees, has remotely the same degree of local and national influence but we know the Giants have spun stuff often enough. Possibly only soccer team Real Madrid in Spain have the same degree of media clout as the Cowboys.

LT came with baggage. Like it or not, it's how they come. Deal with it or pass.

Precisely. Well said.

Let's not forget too, this is the lull between free agency and the draft....and Jerry loves to be in the headlines. For good or bad.

Any reports to the actual behaviour that's "worn thin"?

If it's decent player, wants more money - colour me shocked 

Here is the full quote


"I've heard from way too many people this offseason. I'm talking about at least four different people (have told me) that Micah has worn thin there," Shariff said Friday. "I don't know how much is true and how much it actually hurts (his reputation). I don't know whether this is the behavior of a typical superstar. I don't how damaging it is. But all I do know is this – I've heard from way too many people that if Micah Parsons was out of there, there would be a decent amount of people inside the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco smiling or breathing a sigh of relief."

Had to look up the Ford Center because I thought it was in Detroit.  What a weird roundabout way to comment on what I am guessing is Cowboys FO people.

What was known about LT before the draft?
