Based on this thread? Quite a few.

Might be the funniest thread I’ve seen in a while.

There it is.

Looking forward to the SB. Should be a fun one.

Game over

I saw a graphic on TV with Tomsula going to the cowboys. Don't know if anything was announced or if that was just speculation.

Wasn't this at the end of the year? I know they lost the last several games. I'm guessing being behind that much may have skewed the numbers somewhat.

Gotten a little behind on the threads. Has this been confirmed anywhere?

Well Jumbo laughed at my joke anyways. I'll take solace in that.

Wait, wait, wait. I was talking about the ability to get on the "naughty list", not to guess who's already on the list. And are there more than two spots available?

Wait, was this a contest and I missed it? Or is it still possible to get in the list? You really should announce these things better.

And what does that make me?

Honestly I think it's more of the media than the regular fans. I have one co-worker up here that's a Cowboys fan (she grew up in Iowa of course). She's pretty fatalistic as well especially about their owner and his meddling. I think she's cautiously optimistic about McCarthy as well.

True, but dealing with Cowboy fans between now and then is

This is going to suck for one reason, just saw the TV in the break room and the trailer at the bottom says: "Mike McCarthy makes Cowboys Superbowl contenders"... A whole offseason of this crap.

Is there a way to put whole threads on 'ignore'. These Kirk threads are like train wrecks that I can't look away from. I keep telling myself I'm going to ignore them and yet here I am reading them again.

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. I live up hear and daily talk to people and listen to sports radio. The fan base up here was pretty much split like the Skins community was. Many did question Kirk, but just as many supported him. In fact I remember at least once last year on sports radio where the dj/announcer/whatever was calling the Kirk Cousins signing a success. I don't doubt he later questioned his judgement on that but you're making stuff up about the level of support for Cousins up here.

I know Garrett is rumored to be close with the Maras. He's also used to working with Jones as GM so Gettleman can't be too much worse, right? So maybe that's the landing spot for him.

Some will.

Agree with that. I guess my question is if the new position is primarily for supporting the coach's vision, is that person really a GM and should they be given that title? Maybe that's nit-picking but it seems like that would be a Director of Personnel type of title and not a true GM.

The question for me is, do you trust RR? He's been around a long time and has seen successful organizations. Do you think he's not man enough to stand up to Dan when needed? He doesn't need us, we need him. All he has to do is threaten to leave and Dan will capitulate. In some ways, Gibbs was too nice to Dan because he'd never throw down the hammer and threaten to walk out on him (and by proxy on his beloved Skins). I think if Dan started trying to yank RR's chains, he'd tell him "it's my way or the highway". I could be wrong, but that's my hope going forward.

So, based on Rivera's press conference, are we even going to get a GM?

It could be. It's hard to know because he's so private. However given his pettiness and general nastiness, it wouldn't surprise me. Seems like it's would fit his temperament, but I'm only speculating.

Driving the Cowgirl fans crazy. Got a co-worker who's a Dallas fan at work and every day I ask her about "The Clapper" just because it annoys her. She can't wait for him to be gone.

He probably won't speak for at least another 10 years after that gaff. He hates to be mocked and made fun of by all accounts.
