Reaganaut Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I only caught a few minutes of this one. I saw the fight in the weight room and a couple fights on the field. Here are the few comments I have: 1. Campo discussing the weight room fight in an amused tone and wanting to know the details didn't exactly inspire me. I couldn't imagine many coaches taking any kind of pleasure in that. Spurrier would shake his head and say something like "boys will be boys" and changing the subject. 2. This whole idea of "punking" a player as sort an initiation is interesting. I guess this is part of the NFL. It's a collision sport and there has to be some kind of manhood tester to get people to hit hard and be mean. Apparently Flowers is not one to get "punked." 3. Coslet continues to look and sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thito_da_skins_fan Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Coslet is an idiot... so is the whole team... the coaches are better actors than anything else... it's quite amusing watching these idiots TRY to make it entertaining... maybe if they started coaching instead of looking good in front of the camera, their team might actually perform better... Flowers is a joke... he's got to be the biggest nerd in professional sports... and is it just me or are there are alot of fights this season so far? i haven't heard much about the Skins having these sort of problems... maybe 1 or 2 SMALL incidents, but nothing major like i saw with Dallas or New York... anyways, as far as 'Hard Knocks' i think it's fun to watch, but it only makes me hate the Cowboys more...

Art Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 70Chip had the funniest recap of that show in your previous Hard Knocks thread. I might make him post that here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70Chip Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 This post contains graphic content. Viewer discretion is advised. On "punking": I was pretty sure that the reference was not a football reference. In prisons (not that I would know from personal experience, but my job is somewhat related to law enforcement), when a stronger prisoner, shall we say, "buddies up with" a newer, weaker prisoner, the weaker man is said to be the "punk" of the stronger man. So, when you "punk" someone, you essentially "make them your b*tch". Funny that the rest of the O felt that it was necessary to reassure Flowers that he couldn't be punked. I'll run over and grab the summary to paste it in here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70Chip Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Reposted by request -- OK, here's the quick recap of the highlights from tonight's show. Not much football news, so if you're looking for that move on. The show starts with the Cowboys yawning because a week of training camp has apparently taxed their attention spans to the limit. Much like in kindergarten, we next see the team being told how to ride their bicycles and wear their helmets. Emmitt Smith then drives the bus taking the team from its hotel to the Alamodome. Behind a police escort, he gains many more yards in this one ride than the Dallas offensive line is likely to get for him during the entire season. We then have a sequence on Jamar Martin, who is told he needs to block harder. Dave Campo celebrates a violent on-field collision, until he finally realizes that Martin can't respond to his verbal high five because he is injured. He's torn his ACL and their 4th round pick is out for the season. We see the news being delivered to Jerry Jones, after which what appears to be a scotch materializes on his desk between camera shots. The Cowboys then have a fistfight in the weight room before the program switches to a "cheerleader boot camp" at Texas Stadium. There is much bouncing. Later, we see the ****y cheerleader choreographer frantically yell "You never miss a jump split! No matter what!" The fate of the Western World clearly is hanging on this urgent advice. Back on the field, Flowers the singing receiver is told "They can't punk you" by his offensive teammates, who apparently believe that HBO has put them on "Oz". Randal Williams then feels compelled to clarify for the national TV audience that he is not gay. Soon afterward, we watch the defensive line try to figure out how to handle one of their brethren who apparently crapped his pants during practice. Later that evening, Emmitt Smith's game of Playstation golf is interrupted by a phone call, which he answers "Who Dat?" He is irritated by the distraction from his important business. It seems to be fans trying to bogart their way up to his room by claiming to be his cousins -- little does Emmitt know, however, that it is actually the Nobel Prize committee waiting downstairs for him with an award. (Well, I might have made up the Nobel Prize part.) Dat Nguyen, ala Bubba Gump, tells his shrimpin' boat captain stories. The Cowboys then take off in a bus cavalcade for Houston and a scrimmage with the Texans. It is readily apparent from the tape that the team's convoy of more than six buses and at least a couple of semis is blocking everyone else on the road by crawling along in the left lane of the interstate. About 50 minutes into the program, we get some actual football. The narrator describes the Cowboys as follows: "On the field, it's mass confusion." The episode ends with the Cowboys celebrating their decisive 7-0 win over an expansion team in its first scrimmage. Dom Capers is later seen complaining that the Cowboys ran up the score, and is seen telling Campo "we'll see you in six weeks." (OK, I made that up, too.)

codeorama Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 After watching Hard Knocks, I am really concerned about Pukes WR Richmond Flowers raping our DB's...... I mean really raping them. In the off season, he packs fudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeorama Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Q card, we Skins fans will contribute to the ratings because it's great stuff. What great characters there are: Jerry Jones as Michael Jackson (is that really his face?) Richmond Flowers as Richard Simmons... Gayer than he is.... Chad Hutchinson as Gay Lover Dave Campo as Jerry Jones's chore boy. Man,, it's cool to know that I could coach the cowboys and all I have to do is let Jerry Jones walk all over me....

Reaganaut Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Thanks 70chip. That was a great recap. I'm not very impressed with this bunch. There are standouts, but overall there are no Lavars in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
