Answer me this: If QC were white, would he still be a Dallas Cowboy?He would not. Given the same set of circumstances Bill Parcells and Jerry Jones would have cut him regardless of his skin color. It was a combination of his attitude, on-field performance and off-field problems that did him in.
The strong feeling here is that Parcells did not trust him either on or off the field. He was not, a Parcells guy. Vinnie Testaverde is.
But the actions of the Dallas Cowboys have nothing to do with my view of the ‘overly harsh criticism’ in the press and by the public.
Not a challenge Frank, as you can pick what you find credible, but the reason that I gave the credentials of Randy Galloway and Dale Hansen, is that these guys are not just a couple of Johnny-come-lately(s), but have been credibly covering Dallas sports and the Cowboys for a very long time.
Of course you may well dismiss their opinions, but for me at least they have some degree of credibility—in other words their opinions are informed.
As for the calls to local sports radio stations, a few have been bad enough that the hosts cut them off immediately.
On another topic, I absolutely hate pre-season football. I’ll admit that I’ll watch some of the Cowboys pre-season games to see how some of the newer players are developing. But otherwise I’ll give it a miss.
