this gets more rediculous by the minute.
the players that were passed up were because tony and company are all about ex cowboys that they are familiar with. they have fasano, ex cowboy [who seems to be having a decent year] who up until now wasnt anything special, but, hes a cowboy and that loyalty tops all. be loyal to "your guys" as was was bill parcells life long mantra. tony and jeff seem to be following that philosophy religiously.
marc columbo? the absolute consensus WORST rt against the pass in the nfl? hmmmm, why him over mckinney and other tackles in f/a? ex cowboy. 1 is a coincidence, 4,5,6 is a PATTERN!
ROSS PUBLICALLY gave a blank check to ireland and sparano to bring in who they wanted. and, they did just that! all ex cowboys. they happened to come cheap because NO ONE WANTED THEM other than the old cowboys staff in place in miami!!!
for the last friggin' time, the ORTON deal NEVER GOT PAST ORTON! there was never any meetings with denver brass, NO money or terms were discussed as orton wanted to stay in denver and was only noodling the broncs by talking with the dolphins. so, if ross and denver never had talks, how was there any money held back by ross in that deal?
after last year, after the team colapse,after the harbaugh embarrassment that tarnished ross integrity, after publically saying he believed in sparano and ireland he tells them to sand bag the team and not spend any money? really? come on people. if someone told armando his birth mother was really a man, he would fall for it and report it. and whats worse? many of his readers would obviously believe it to.
i have some issues with ross for sure, keeping sparano and ireland, the harbaugh embarassment, but sand bagging his team, telling fans he was doing everything for the team but behind the scenes is PURPOUSLY cutting their throats [in an obama fast and furious kind of way] i dont believe it for one second. he is a kazillionair. he likes to win, at EVERYTHING, and when you take on a sports team, you have now attached there wins and losses to your other biz interests. if the team suffers and folks are mad it could spill over to some of his local interests. its human nature to not do biz with a guy who you believe is ruining your life long team! the dolphins are a business venture for ross and winners dont want losing ventures in their portfolio. and they sure wont do it on purpous!!!!
ross's big mistake was not firing tony and jeff after last year and then persuing harbaugh and other gm's and coaches. he wants a winner! he knows that in any biz, you have to give money to get results. sand bagging his own biz interest would get him nowhere.
lets not get sucked into rediculous media hype stories.
