My favorite ex Cowboy to hate is Michael Irvin. He is annoying to listen to and look at and a piece of crap as a human being. There are too many stories about crap he did even to his own teammates for some of them not to be true.

It's so hard to choose though, isn't it? Such a long and crappy list....

Take your pick:

Sam Hurd, Drug Conspiracy – The former Cowboy from San Antonio was in 2013 sentenced to 15 years in prison after being busted for attempting to set up a vast drug operation that spanned three states. Though the jury believed Hurd when he said he had never used or sold cocaine, they found him guilty for making grand plans to distribute through a carefully crafted network.

Thomas Henderson, Drug Possession/Assault – In 1983 the linebacker formerly known as “Hollywood” was arrested for smoking crack with two under-aged girls, asking them for sex and threatening them with a gun. One of the girls was described in the police report as a “paraplegic minor.” He spent two months in rehab, and then two years in prison.

Larry Bethea, Theft – There are more heinous crimes in Cowboys’ history (like Harvey Martin and his multiple domestic abuse arrests), more ridiculous mistakes (Nate Newton getting arrested twice for transporting a truck full of marijuana) and certainly more infamous transgressions, but nothing compares to the audacity of stealing from your own mother. Which is exactly what the defensive lineman was convicted of in 1987. Shortly after the legal system found him guilty of stealing his mom’s $64,000 life savings, Bethea committed suicide.

Dwayne Goodrich, Vehicular Manslaughter – The former second-round draft pick was behind the wheel of one of the most famous and tragic hit-and-run accidents in DFW history, speeding through a fiery wreck on I-35 in 2003 and killing two good Samaritans trying to pull a man from a burning car. He spent nine years in prison in West Texas before being released in 2011.

Rafael Septien, Indecency With A Child – In 1987 the kicker was arrested on charges of aggravated child molestation, pled down to indecency and was punished only by a $2,000 fine and probation. He was released by the Cowboys and never kicked in the NFL again.

Wow -- the speed with which you compiled this parade of horribles was impressive. Even apart from criminal conduct (of which there is a lot to choose from), there's also just a lot of douchebaggery.

As long as you are talking the Cowboys from the '80s, let's not forget that the Redskins from 2001-2011 had more players arrested than any other team in their division. Real pack of saints those Redskins....

The bald numbers from the BR report reveal very little -- they're arrests, but no data on whether charges were actually brought and folks were convicted, and it doesn't indicate what people were arrested for. Unlike this unsavory report: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...on-rape-charge

Anyway, back to actual football, it will be interesting to see how the NFCE shakes out this weekend. Dallas has a tough one at Carolina, and the Giants are at home against JAX. There's a decent chance Dallas and NYG both lose, making the ARI game all the more important for us. The reality is that our schedule is tough, and opponents like ARI and IND the following week are must win games if the season isn't going to be a bit of a disaster.

yet the eagles and a few others seem to have fucking cupcake schedules for the most part. This is a blind statement off memory alone.
