You mean besides the part where he only ever got separation because he was big and fast and never learned to run proper routes so when his speed slipped all you had was a big slow dude who is blanketed by secondary and in the slim chance he does get the ball in his hands he drops it most of the time?

I never thought Dez would just be another Tony Romo wonder that looks semi-decent to bad the year after Romo and then just disappears entirely after. Tony Romo was really loving good, y'all.

Pretty sure most teams aren't signing any FA's right now to avoid loving themselves out of comp picks. Dez will get signed, somewhere, probably.

Dez is probably still in the mentality that he wants that one year big money deal to re-establish his value which no decent team wants to give him and they’re waiting out for a price drop. Baltimore offered him a team friendly contract not long after Dallas cut him he turned down.

40 yards for a full year?

Dez is entering his ninth season. He has had 3 seasons over 1000 yards, same as Bowe at that time when he got cut by the Chiefs. That last season he had 754 yards, Dez just had 838. It's not completely crazy. Dez catches more touchdowns and is better than Bowe but the similarities would scare me if I was a fan of a team that signs him.

I want to say a couple of college coaches were just a few days. George O'Leary with Notre Dame and....Mike Price at Bama? I guess Price lasted a few months after looking him up, although he never coached a game.

e: I guess O'Leary technically resigned so that'd put him on the same level as Belichick and the Jets.

It's college and he wasn't fired, but George O'Leary resigned as head coach of Notre Dame five days after they hired him

O'Leary lied on his resume, but Patricia...woof

Unless any other allegations against Patricia arise, I doubt he's going to be fired-legally speaking, he's innocent, and the event if it did happen was over 20 years ago.

Doesn't make me feel much better, though!

This does ring a bell but I don't remember who it was. Also Jim Bob Cooter once drunkenly broke into some woman's home and got in bed with her. Apparently not to sexually assault her as far as I know, but because he was tired.

Which I don't know if I really believe or not, but it's a perfect story for a guy named Jim Bob Cooter to have.

Didn't they offer $21M for 3 years? I know he was supposed to make 12.5M this year, but he has to realize nobody is going to extend a multi-year contract at that rate.

More than anything else, Dez is still on the market because he spent the last 2 seasons proving he can't catch the ball for poo poo even when it hits his loving gigantic hands.

Even with all his faults and his physical decline, he'd be a solid role player if he could catch the easy stuff reliably. But he hasn't done even that for a couple of years.

quote:

The joke answer: They’re the Detroit Lions. They couldn’t find water if they fell out of a loving boat.

The real answer: They’re an NFL team, and the NFL really couldn’t give less of a poo poo. And neither could their fans. The team named after a racial slur is caught up in human trafficking, and it was a scandal for, maybe, 20 minutes. Jimmy Haslam openly bought himself out of a federal indictment. Jim Irsay got caught with a lot of product and a lot of cash. That’s possession with intent to distribute. All 32 teams are openly blackballing Eric Reid and Colin Kaepernick. The NFL has welched on its concussion commitments.

My question is why would the Lions even pretend to do a background search on a new head coach? How many Lions fans do you really think would have a problem with Larry Nassar getting his old job back if it meant the Lions would win a playoff game — not the Super Bowl, a playoff game?

It's cool how hosed up this league is and yet the only thing that something like 30% of fans care about is the loving kneeling over the epidemic of cops getting away with murdering citizens.
