Dallas, on the other hand, has turned a blind eye on numerous drug addicts, as long as they could perform on the field. And this goes back to the days of Landry, not just Johnson.

I notice you don't give any examples under Landry. I'll give you one: Hollywood Henderson, who was dropped like a hot potato when his drug use became known.

Your assessment that Dallas was "immoral" sounds like sour grapes from a fan of a team which can't hold a candle to the consistency of the Cowboys over the years.

That, or you're really the Cowboy-hating girly-man, Skip Bayless.

You really need to get over the fact that you weren't wanted in Dallas anymore, Skippy.

Did you get this from Skippy's book:

Throw in the fact that the Cowboys team doctor diagnosed kicker Rafael Septien with a hernia, and Landry and the front office chose not to tell him so they could keep him on the field (and put his very life in jeopardy by doing so),

This is patent nonsense, or you just made it up.

You know, of course, that Rafael Septien was a child molester, don't you? Should Landry have "intervened" there?

I've never heard of Skip Baylis, so I won't even respond to that. But, you can't tell me that Landry et al had no idea that Henderson and others were tooting up in the locker room at halftime. Henderson even said he used to snort on the sidelines! The drug abuse was known within the organization long before the public found out. As far as Septien, I remember seeing the segment on his lawsuit on some investigative show years ago, then IIRC it was settled out of court, which leads one to believe the Cowboys had some guilt. If he was a known child molestor, then the team should have dumped him for that, but keeping a hernia secret in order to keep him on the field is unforgiveable.

Also, my despising the Cowboys has nothing to do with their rivalry with the Redskins; I despise the Baltimore Raisins as well, for refusing to cut Ray Lewis after his involvement in a murder, then his destruction of evidence and lying to police afterwords. They are a good team and have a knack for picking great defensive and special teams personnel, but I can't respect them until Lewis and the management that kept him on are long gone. Of course the league in general should have done more than fining him...
