I don’t watch anymore. after Kaperdick I pulled out. The sport is not racially diverse. It has no real team concept. It is just a bunch of steroid freaks making more than the coach. People really need a new false idol now. TV viewership as plummeted because of what I just said by 1/4th!! I am out— DO NOT CARE!!

Re: “It was a disgrace he went undrafted...”

I disagree.

His position - running back - is the reason.

Running backs have very short careers because that position generates more injuries than any other position on the team, so NFL teams are reluctant to spend draft choices on RBs.

In 2015, the year Zenner signed, only one running back was selected in the First Round, and only 17 RBs were selected in the entire Draft.

Second, Zenner played at a small school.

16 of the 17 RB Draftees played at Division I schools.

I live on the West Coast and rarely get a chance to see Detroit play.

I was shocked by Detroit’s offensive line.

Detroit QB Matt Stafford was under pressure on EVERY passing play, even when Dallas just rushed three linemen.

Either Dallas has one of the best defensive lines in the NFL, or Detroit, 9-5 coming into the game, was way overrated.

Doesn’t matter to me. Dallas is fake and they will be exposed as fake for all to see nationally.

But AZ did have a much harder sched, as did every NFC West team, than the Cowgirls.

Meh. Even better was the fact that Dallas held Detroit scoreless for 40 minutes, from late in the first half on.

"Zack has also been accepted into medical school."

In the mid 60's my mother was receiving cancer treatment at U of Mich Hospital, and her favorite doctor there was Dave Middleton, who had played wide receiver for the Lions.

He had to play at a small school because white running backs rarely get offers to play anywhere let alone big div 1 schools. The college recruiters have a sort of caste system with majir prejudice againsy caucasion skill positions.

Yeah you have good reason to be upset. AZ cards suck bigtime. 6-8-1? What a pity.

It’s all thugged up no question

Running QBs being cozied up by more and more penalty regs

But it still has a few decent crackers and black guys who were raised right

But when they start doing the Xhosa stomp and jump thing it just seems so African barefoot and feathers and shields

The worms turned

Blacks are more physical now and white have grown weak

Like overnight

Bizarre

Jury is still out on marshaling the team down field when down more than two TDs late in the game

Warren Moon was the first and still the best

That Mahonnes boy coming up from Texas Tech will be the next best black qb but he’s half white

I’m just not all that about black running backs playing quarterback but no question it’s changed the game

Well Joe you might actually become a fan of a team that wins something. Did you might not be so bitter. The Cardinals have been around forever either in st. Louis or Arizona and the Cowboys have whipped them in both places. All Things Considered the Cardinals have to be one of the biggest losers in NFL history. And for the most part have always been considered as such.

What I say is true. The Cowgirls have one of the weakest schedules in the NFL this year. Weak schedule = easier wins. Even you can see that....unless you are drunk on a phony teams easy wins. Sorry, I’ll be here when they get bounced. Your owner’s a loser. I cant even remember the last time the Cowgirls were in a Superbowl, can you? They must have been bleeding out of their wherever for a long time now.

Moon was great. Maholmmes is spectacular. He is badly wounded because of a terrible line. He is on ACL brace and shoulder needs surgery. I hope he gets out of that hell hole while he can still walk and has a chance for the pros.
I do think NFL should be more diverse. We have to suffer that everything else is.
