Cowboys release Joseph Randle (bout bloody time)
The Business Insider ^ | 11/3 | Scott Davis

According to several reports, including ESPN, the Dallas Cowboys have released 23-year-old running back Joseph Randle.

This is a fairly shocking development after Randle was demoted from starting running back last week, left the team's facilities unannounced, and was dealing with "personal matters."

This also comes after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he was concerned about Randle's mental well-being.

Randle was expected to take over as the Cowboys starting running back this season in the wake of DeMarco Murray. Through five games, the results were unimpressive, and following a strained oblique and breakout performance from Darren McFadden, the Cowboys demoted Randle.

This is when he left the Cowboys practice facility unannounced, which reportedly bothered team officials who wanted to help Randle heal his injury.

I think the near fumble at goal line weighed heavy on the minds of the staff along with nearly guaranteed upcoming suspension.

I liked Randle he had good speed and running instinct but his down sides have overrode his talent.

What a season in Valley Ranch. (Are they still in Valley Ranch or did the operations move to Arlington?)

Hopefully, they can snag a win or two before Romo is back. They have Philly and Tampa left, so both are doable if Matt Castle can do anything at all.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is the only real problem.

I don’t believe in Karma, but you do have to wonder if it has something to do with their season, and the injuries.

When they let go Romo, Hardy, Garrett, and Jones himself they would be on the right path.

Why Romo? He’s the best thing they’ve got.

They are still at Valley Ranch, but they are moving to Frisco, not Arlington.

Given the tenor of our times, when I read the headline, my first thought was, “moslems masquerading as cowboys” choosing to release a hostage?

FWIW, I don’t have cable any more, and haven’t followed American football in years!
