    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    Cheaper to just make sure not to hire any HC that actually has balls. That way you don't have to spend money on that sign. LOL

    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    It wasn't a "handful." Did you not see the stats for those games, posted earlier? The write-up from OU itself, talking about the wishbone? What TE posted- which I quote below - is exactly right and might be what confused certain people. They never ran the pro-set I formation offense while Troy...

    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    Anyone who has, knows Troy NEVER played out of the pro-set I-formation while he was at OU, because Dupree washed out and Switzer decided he could not run the I without Dupree. Switzer himself says this, on the show.

    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    They weren't nearly as bad as Troy's were. In fact it's not even close. Romo never would have survived it. This writer is just flat wrong, there's even video and more importantly, STATISTICS to show how wrong he is.

    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    They were out of character throwing more in that Miami game because they had to - Miami's offense was just shredding them. That's what led to Aikman's injury - that o-line wasn't used to pass blocking. That's all in Jimmy Johnson's book by the way. No, the promise was it was dropped, but after...

    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    He would eat these defenses that can't touch him or the receivers, for fucking lunch. Meanwhile with the roles reversed, Romo wouldn't have made it past that 1989 season in Troy's place. He would have been carried out on a stretcher and that would have been all she wrote.

    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    No Man, Aikman had to run the wishbone because Marcus Dupree washed out and Switzer didn't think he had any choice, couldn't run the power I with the personnel he had. Here's a typical box score from that season - there was NOT a lot of passing going on. 1985 Oklahoma at Kansas State Football...

    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    He never liked Switzer after he'd been recruited to OU by him, with the promise they were going to "throw it all over the field" and what happened? Troy Aikman right where he didn't want to be and shouldn't be, quarterbacking in the wishbone. He promptly transferred to UCLA after Jimmy's...

    Football Life on Troy Aikman

    In Jimmy's mind (and this was a pattern throughout his coaching career) Jerry had broken his word to him by beginning to meddle in personnel, and bringing the Saudi Sheik into the locker room while he was still talking to the team. He crossed the line on several occasions. The deal they had was...

    Draft Kings - I took the plunge

    Yeah I've never played the traditional-type leagues. Only and ever, just dabble on DK. I'm probably about $60 to the red on it, having won some money here and there but mostly finishing out of the money. Won $10 last week after spending $8 to get in the 3 contests I was in.

    2016 NFL Week #13: Dallas Cowboys (10-1) @ Minnesota Vikings (6-5)

    The Coats PULLED him in the 3rd quarter that's what, and trotted Boykin out there to mop up the hapless Jest..

    Draft Kings - I took the plunge

    No he didn't, they pulled him midway through the 3rd quarter I think, when the score was 41-3. He scored 29.7 points though, and of course with the lousy rest of the roster I had for that I finished waaaaaay out of the money, in 7216th place. Sucks for fantasy scoring when it's a total blowout...

    Draft Kings - I took the plunge

    I even mentioned they were fighting Texas. I made it quite clear and unequivocal - The socialism comment was directed at NY specifically, as it is the only one running FanDuel out of the state and losing 400 jobs as a result. The tyranny of religious mores mostly, is what's driving the states...

    Omega's never advocated for anything like that. Do you know what a "quick window" play is? Hint: It involves quick passes. Not having to wait for complicated routes to come open and getting strip-sacked in the process. Garrett's slavish worship of "Air Coryell" is what got Romo hurt. Good...

    Is this year a bust if we don't win it all?

    The one that kills me from the end of 2014 was "Forget 2014, next year will be totally different." He got that one right.

    Draft Kings - I took the plunge

    Interestingly, I learned as I was talking with one of the higher-up muckety-mucks at FanDuel - it's the state of New York they're in trouble with because they are headquartered there. That's why Boston-based DraftKings has no such restrictions - and why the two companies are merging. Socialism...

    I have Andrew Luck in my last contest of the week at DraftKings. Need HIM to go off and score about 40 fantasy points for me, so I can win 10K.
