Dallas Cowboys Hit Another Milestone As America’s Team
Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams will be going to the Pro Bowl this year. That makes 12 Cowboys heading to Hawaii, a team record. Wow!
Why didn’t the New England Patriots get 12 players in? Why not 13? But that’s really not the issue here.
The issue is Williams replaces Sean Taylor, who was murdered in his home this season. Riggo’s Rag is reporting here that the replacement is a “slap in the face” to the Hogettes. I am sorry to inform him and other Hogettes, but this decision is actually an honor to Taylor. This is certainly no slap in the face. But of course, leave it to the Redskins fans to find something to whine about like little piglets. One week after their current rookie safety tries to cripple our heralded wide receiver, the Redskins fans need to combat that with some hoax cry of controversy. Roy Williams is now a five-time Pro Bowler. No one has a right to disrespect him. One-third of the voting is from the fans, one-third is from the coaches and one-third is from the players. Don’t disrespect Roy, please.
No one has a right to shun him just because of the horse-collar tackles. I saw three players commit horse-collar tackles in games last week and not one was penalized. Why? Because none of those players has the sheer power Roy has. When he grabs someone, he pulls them to the ground with force. He’s a beast. And he’s a feared hitter.
But what is most egregious is how Riggo’s Rag and other meathead Redskins fans fail to realize that Roy plans to honor Sean Taylor. He knows he wouldn’t be playing in the game if Sean Taylor was still alive today. From dallascowboys.com:
Williams said he would do something special for Taylor’s family before the Pro Bowl as a way of showing his respects but didn’t elaborate on the plans. He also said the NFC Pro Bowlers on defense will honor Taylor’s memory, but didn’t say what it would be.
That’s class. Learn that class, Redskins.
I saw that and I think it’s nice that he’s planning to honor Taylor. I don’t have anything against Roy Williams personally, but having a Cowboy replace Sean Taylor is going to make Redskins fans wince. Get over it. How would you feel if Landry was given some lifetime award and Joe Gibbs accepted it? Or if Emmitt Smith won at Dancing with the Stars and Riggins accepted the award instead? Okay, well maybe my first example was a little better.

January 4th, 2008 at 9:12 amCome on, Williams is no altar boy. He’s lucky he hasn’t been suspended for his dirty tackles. Classy is not a word I’d use to describe him. Barbarian and unsportsmanlike are more like it. Get down off your high horse.
January 4th, 2008 at 12:01 pmHe plays hard in a game where real barbarians, Albert Haynesworth, intentional STOMP on people’s faces and still are allowed to play. He doesn’t mean to hurt people when he horsecollar tackles. He is just trying to save 6 man. and the only reason it was a problem is because he is so very strong with his arms and hands that its a risk with him. He’s not intentionally trying to hurt people. And a barbarian and unsportsmanlike are intentional transgressions. Look at Rodney Harrison for the dirty patriots, dirtiest player in the NFL man. He’ll try and poke your damn eyes out in the pile, and break your rubs with some punches. Roy don’t do that kind of stuff, so lay off.
January 4th, 2008 at 12:09 pmDan, I love how you overdramatized the Terry Glenn/Laron Landry hit….Your really the only one raising hell about it. Get over it. It was incidental contact. Its football, contact happens. Jesus, you ought to get an Oscar for the over-reaction to an everyday-perfectly legal hit.
January 4th, 2008 at 12:26 pmAndrew, I don’t know what you are talking about. Please reveal you are a Redskins fan first. Then we’ll talk about that questionable hit.
January 4th, 2008 at 1:33 pmGood God, you talk about a legal hit that even the Cowboys head coach says was fine, and then you defend a guy who actually WAS suspended just a few weeks ago because he’s notorious for making illegal hits. You’re the ultimate hypocrite. I’m a Redskins fan. Talk to me about how Roy Williams is such a clean player and talk to me about how dirty you think Landry is. You redefine the word "homer".
January 4th, 2008 at 1:50 pmZip it hyenna. I am in no mood for you today.
January 4th, 2008 at 2:04 pmYou all know what…hearing all this banter makes me glad to be Dolphins fan…We have one guy going to the pro-bowl and even he probably shouldnt’ be going…LOL.
January 4th, 2008 at 2:20 pmWell, this is how it is for a fan and blog for the most famous and succesfull football organization in the world. People just hate us. I guess it’s a part of being America’s Team, there’s a loud minority that really stinks it up for us. The Cowboys had a 1-15 season…people we’re effing celebrating in the streets smoking weed and doing other drugs and consuming copious amounts of booze in Redskins and Eagles land. Thankfully that one win was against the Crapskins.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:16 pmLOL…and of course our one win was against their sister city Baltimore…gotta love it.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:34 pmYes, people hate you. No you’re not America’s team. Any nickname you give yourself doesn’t count. Maybe that’s why people hate you. Well, one of many many reasons anyway.
January 4th, 2008 at 10:11 pm[...] Re: Williams will replace Taylor in Pro Bowl This came from a blog, but I saw other players committing horse collar tackles also. Its not a legal hold anymore and he needs to quit it, now, but he’s not a dirty player and you know it simon. Do you think Harrison is dirty or just a hard hitter. I think Lefty kind of hit it right on the head. You are trying too hard to defend the Pats. So triple Baaaaaziiiiing or whatever Quality said. Don
