Cowboys, the Law, & Drugs

Sorry man. I didn't mean to rain on the parade. I enjoyed reading your post. I'd like to know more about South America's Team of 1983. As noted, the Redskins have had their share of guys that didn't walk the straight and narrow, but every team has. The Cowboys, however, seem to take the coke (sorry).


LOL... well, we all do love to hate the Cowgirls.

Most teams, especially during the 80's, had their share of substance abusers, most with a special fondness for doing blow. The Redskins, unfortunately, have been no exception. Here are some cokeheads, roid freaks and a homicidal creep:

What about my main man Dexter?

We can say what we want about the players Dallas has playing or played for them but the bottom line is we still have to beat them on the field no matter what they do off the field. Does it really make us look any better because our clean players have a hard time beating their bottom dwellers.

I'm surprised I haven't seen Dexter Manley's name up here yet.

Ha beat ya to it

Mental Illness - TO

Owner - "I'm not running a choir, I'm running a football team." He doesn’t care at all that they have criminal records. And neither do the fans as long as they keep winning.


Honestly I can of agree with what some of Jones said. He's not running a choir and I wish we'd take some more chances on some guys. Now I'm not saying we take Chris Henry or Adam Jones. To me those are real bad guys. But so far TO has been a solid teammate and as far as I know he's not breaking any laws. I think he's learned from his mistakes at Philly and SF. And Tank Johnson has also been solid. Look at Randy Moss? We could've made a run at him.

The bottom line is every team has guys that have had run ins with the law. It's just that Dallas probably has more than anyone else.

Sure, every team does have their idiots and criminals, but it's not a secret that Dallas continually signs and pays players with very bad criminal records. They seem to attract them.

Dallas' list will always be longer than any other team's. Cincy has been trying to rival them, but has a long way to go to catch up.

Washington on the other hand has had a very good track record with the types of players and people they sign. Maybe it has been influenced by Joe Gibbs and the importance he has placed on character, but still today, the team is full of people who I am proud to call Redskins.

If the HOF ceremony didn't remind you of some of the great human beings who have worn burgundy and gold, you're blind.

Ha beat ya to it

lmao, you must've posted that as I was typing mine.

We're actually pretty even when it comes to the number of arrests each team has had. The Cowboys just have a few more felonies than us.

More felonies than everyone else in the league. :D
