Longhorn fans are tolerable. A&M fans are not; they're generally entitled idiots and are as thick as mosquitoes here in southeast Texas.

I say 'generally' because I HAVE met a few individuals from A&M that are decent folk. Let's just say my expectations remain low. Much to my chagrin, my daughter wants to go there. Sigh.

And as far as the Texans go...at least they're not the Jets.

Sounds like AP may have reached a plea agreement:

If this is indeed the case, then the question becomes, will he play for the Vikings again?  And if so, when?

If I'm the Vikings, why do I bring him back? Their running game hasn't been a problem, and he doesn't add enough to be worth the massive PR hit he's bringing with him.

Unless he's suddenly going to become an impact linebacker, receiver, safety or offensive lineman, leave him at home.

Make him trade bate and reverse Herschel Walker your way out of this mess into a raft of draft picks

He'll be a Cowboy in no time. Conroe is only about three, 3.5 hours south of Dallas and just a bit north of me.

Sad to say, this is starting to sound like way too much sense.  :-\

I think this pretty well sums up the Jets season. Every Jets season, really....

Except the whole 'raft of draft picks' thing. At this point, you MIGHT be able to trade him for an actual raft. Maybe.

I don't see the 'Boys giving much for AP considering how well DeMarco Murray has performed. Of course, Jerry Jones has overpaid in trades before, so I'm not putting money down....

Rex Ryan is an idiot.  He's right up their Norv "Douche Bag" Turner.

MetalDog

Far be it for me to defend anyone associated, past, present, or future, with the Dallas Cowboys (tom Landry is the exception), but, I always thought Turner was a good OC for them.  It doesn't hurt when you have talent, but, I thought he designed a good scheme and game plan.  He's totally lost me with the Vikes this tear though.  Granted, it's not Aikman, Irvin and Smith, but, Cordarrelle Patterson, Jerick McKinon and Teddy Bridgewater should be growing together and I just don't see it.
