NFL 2019

If true - and I don't doubt it - he's picked the right place for a media circus.

Mr. Starr putting a dagger in the heart of 'boys fans everywhere.
Scoring the winning TD in the 1967 "Ice Bowl". Considered by many to be the game that made the NFL the sports juggernaut it is.

From his Wiki page, he was into off-field foundation work before it was in vogue...
"In 1965, Starr and his wife Cherry helped co-found Rawhide Boys Ranch in New London, Wisconsin, a facility designed to help at-risk and troubled boys throughout the state of Wisconsin.[1] Starr even donated the Corvette he received as MVP of Super Bowl II to help Rawhide during their early years.[58] He and Cherry continued to be affiliated with Rawhide Boys Ranch as of 2017.

In 1971, Starr and his wife Cherry helped start the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation raising funds for cancer research and care in honor of the his late coach, Vince Lombardi. They were active at all their events throughout the years. He and Cherry launched the Starr Children's Fund within the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation to continue their legacy of work supporting pediatric cancer research and care."

Married to the same woman for 60+ years. Zoinks! That may be more impressive than his on-field exploits.

Love it. Would love it more if he wasn't immortalizing his one-handed catch against the Cowboys!

Good point. I wonder if Joe Montana has a little statue of Dwight Clark making "The Catch" on the front of his Roller?!?
Ace should know!

I'm not ready to write off OBJ. Like JJ, I'm just happy he's in a diff conference! [emoji2]
As for Mr Big Chest and Mr Big Ego (Bell), they better put up huge numbers or I think they're gonna quickly move into the "not worth it" category.

Love him or hate him (and I think I know where Ace falls!), moving from Big Ben to Carr /Darnold is a major step down IMO, so both will suffer. That's my story anyway!

I think Chubb is going to really blossom with the extra attention OBJ will garner. I also agree about OBJ; I'd just wish need let his results speak for themselves. But, WR1s don't seem to be made that way.

That'd be interesting proposition. I think it'll come down to whether Carr rebounds, and if Mayfield can continue to progress.

Darnold studying film of Jay Cutler?!? [emoji848]
Trying to improve his looking indifferent on the sideline? Improve his ability to throw a killer pick six?

My wife agrees!

Most days! [emoji2]

Aha. Aversion therapy!

You said go, you didn't say win. You losing faith?!? [emoji6]

Dallas has a very tough strength of schedule, though. Which is bad enough, except that everyone else in the division has much easier schedules.
