EDINBURG, Texas - A new arrest warrant has been issued for Quincy Carter.

That's after the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback failed to appear in a Hidalgo County state district court in Edinburg for two hearings on marijuana possession and drunken driving charges.

Carter, 31, was arrested in February in Mission shortly after a deal for him to play for the Rio Grande Valley Dorados of the arenafootball2 league fell apart.

Carter's attorney, Christ Weaver, tells The Monitor of McAllen that Carter may not have known about the court dates because they hadn't spoken in two weeks.

Carter was cut by the Abilene Ruff Riders of the Indoor Football League earlier this month.


He looks different in that picture. I guess cause he isnt wearing his red skull cap

Cooley is trolling Cowboy's fans:

Cooley has a message for Cowboys fans | ProFootballTalk.com

So in the Vick/Favre/Plaxico excitement of the week, we managed to miss some important entertainment from everyone's favorite player/blogger Chris Cooley.

Cooley posted a pair of videos to his website where he and a masked man dressed up as Tony Romo and Jason Witten aka "J-Wit Dog." (Tim McMahon of the Dallas Morning News has the videos on one convenient page and believes Colt Brennan is playing the part of Romo.)

The content of the videos is amusing - decide for yourself - but the reaction to posting them is more interesting.

It turns out a number of Cowboys fans have commented on Cooley's blog about it, and he's not happy about it.

"If you're a Cowboys fan don't try to make a point by asking when the last time the Skins won the Super Bowl," Cooley writes. "Instead ask yourself when the last time Dallas won a playoff game."

Burnt! Cooley also went off about the culture of negative commenting in general.

"If you don't like the content on our website, simply don't read it. Calling me a douche and an idiot does not hurt my feelings and neither do fabricated stories. All you do when you comment garbage is offend normal fans and readers. And seriously, the videos are just for fun."

Cooley goes on to say that he and Wit Dog are actually friends, but not before he makes sure to defend his ability compared to Witten.

"I don't want to give gratification to guys who call me the biggest douche they have ever met. Guys who comment to show their uncanny knowledge of football by telling me that Wit Dog is not only an unbelievably superior player (he is not - go watch game film), but a better teammate."

Agree with Cooley's broad points or not (we do), the interaction is fascinating.

A decade ago, it would have seemed insane for pro athletes to be blogging responses to opposing fans who didn't like the athlete's trash talking self-made videos. (Light-hearted trash talking at that.)

Now, it's just part of a world where athletes start their own web shows, and head to Twitter to fight battles with the media or when a meeting is boring.

A lot of folks think this marks the end of civilization as we know it, but it seems like a lot of fun to me.

OK, I hate the fucking Skins, but Cooley just got loads of respect from me for this. Funny, funny shit.

Yeah, they were talking about that this morning here. This town is Cowboy crazy right now, and want to kill everyone.

[Stiker]

Dimm, it does get to retarded proportions. I'll get overly excited when the games actually fucking start. Other than that, everything before hand is so over the top and ridiculous.

Example, the Cowboys had a "State of the Team" annual press conference. This fucking thing lasted for 22 minutes and not a single snap had been taken in training camp.

Radio was giving them shit for it too. Board Op played some random Wade burp drops in there to break up the boredom. After it was over, co-host called them out for having such a retardedly long conference.

Oh and this morning, the morning show fucked with Rowdy (the fucking retarded, ass-whip of a mascot). They took the key out of his tricked up 4-wheeler ATV at camp this morning and put it below the ATV. Guy that did it went up to Rowdy and said "Hey Rowdy, good luck with the four-wheeler!"

Just think about that. The FUCKING MASCOT IS AT TRAINING CAMP -- with a tricked up ride no less. What the shit? Why? lol

[tyven]

the first one is fucking hilarious. i enjoy cooley's pants as well

[tyven]

cooley is a moron if he thinks his skill set is comparable to witten's, however both suck compared to K2

Irvin comes to defense of Romo

By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports Jul 29, 9:52 pm EDT

SAN ANTONIO – There were a couple of times during the opening practice of Dallas Cowboys training camp Wednesday when quarterback Tony Romo(notes) was his confounding self.

The athletic Romo, who possesses one of the quickest releases in the game, sometimes just seems to go into a brain cramp. One such occasion was when he tossed an errant deep pass toward Miles Austin(notes) that was so far off it ended up being tipped for an interception.

During another instance, he threw a deep ball toward Roy Williams against no defense. When Williams zigged, Romo threw the zag and the pass landed more than 10 yards from where Williams was running. But for all the naysayers who look at Romo over the past two years and put the blame firmly on him for Dallas’ recent failure, former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin has one thing to say.

“Can we get Drew Bledsoe(notes) back out here [for] just a week so you guys can really fall back in love with Tony?” asked Irvin, a man with the gift of both Hall of Fame grab and gab. “Let’s put Drew Bledsoe back out here, because sometimes when you have a pretty girl for awhile, you forget how pretty she is. But when you throw the ugly girl next to her, you say, ‘No, I’m really doing well.’ Maybe we need to bring Drew out so we know we’re really doing well.”

Ouch!

While Irvin’s jokes were at a high expense to Bledsoe, the point was well taken. People forget that by Bledsoe’s last two years, his combination of clay feet and slow internal clock made him the target of pass rushers everywhere.

Since then, Romo’s combination of a high-profile (and recently ex-) girlfriend and other surrounding drama has made him a target for pundits everywhere. And just about everywhere you look, there are critics ready to take their shots at all things Cowboys.

Between sunning himself on the beach with Jessica Simpson in Cabo San Lucas before a playoff game two seasons ago, golfing, downplaying ugly losses and having problems with departed wide receiver Terrell Owens(notes), Romo has caught enough flak to fill a 15-year career.

“Way too much. Too much. It really is [too much],” Irvin said. “Tony is 27-12 over his first 39 games. I don’t know anyone, on any team, at any time … who wouldn’t take a quarterback when you say he’s going to be 27-12 over his first 39 games. Every coach, every GM, every owner will raise their hand and say, ‘Give me that guy.’ That’s the bottom line.

“I was coming through the airport and I had people say to me, ‘Do you think we should get rid of Romo?’ I wanted to ground all the planes and go on the microphone and say, ‘Are you people serious?’ Stop it already. Will you stop with this mess? You are reading too much into the Jessica stuff – not to say Tony has helped in that. And [he] can’t come out after a game when emotions are still high like in Philadelphia and say – and he was just trying to deal with it – that if this is the worst thing that happens to me, I’ll be fine. You can’t do that. I’m sure Tony would acknowledge that was a mistake. But that being said, to be talking about getting rid of Tony is absolutely … ridiculous.”

But this is what happens when you’re a quarterback, particularly for the Dallas Cowboys. You attract attention like a mouse in a snake pit. New backup quarterback Jon Kitna(notes) noticed right away. After a 12-year career that has featured stops in Seattle, Cincinnati and Detroit, the 36-year-old Kitna was flabbergasted by what he saw Wednesday as several thousand fans came to the Alamodome to watch practice.

“There’s nothing I’ve seen that’s like this,” Kitna said. “I’m sure there is, maybe New England and New York, places like that that have had a lot of winning. But this is incredible to me. … They watch intently at practice. Here, you have a false start at practice and they boo. It’s kind of funny to me.”

This season will be especially difficult for Romo because he’s now the biggest circus in town now that Owens has been cast aside. Even without the extra pub he was getting in People and US magazine, Romo will be both the lightning and divining rod of the Cowboys. And when a team like the Cowboys has gone 13 years without a playoff win (only Detroit in the NFC has gone longer), there’s a lot of angst in the fan base.

On Wednesday, Romo caused a minor stir when he decided not to talk to the press, preferring to wait until after the Thursday morning session. Even so, he was the subject of plenty of questions for everyone from tight end Jason Witten(notes) to coach Wade Phillips.

The bottom line is this: People want to know if Romo is focused for the upcoming season.

“To be honest, I never noticed him not being focused,” Phillips said. “The guy comes to everything he’s supposed to, he works hard at everything and that’s why I think … in the last two years he has gotten better. He knows there are things he needs to do better, but he’s a real talent and he can help win games for us. He’s done everything we’ve asked, so we have to help him [as coaches].

The questioning got to the point that Phillips started shaking his head in mild disgust when Romo’s golfing jones was mentioned.

“The guys play video games off the field. I mean, they have a life. … When he makes all the workouts and works hard and does the right things, I don’t think playing golf some takes away from his focus in football,” Phillips said. “No more than what everybody else does with their leisure time. There [are] a lot of things that people do, [but] because he’s the quarterback and he’s under the microscope, some people are going to say he didn’t do this and he didn’t do that.”

For now, what Romo hasn’t done is lead the Cowboys to a playoff victory.

Fair point, but Irvin is willing to be patient.

“At least you get an opportunity at a playoff win when you’re 27-12,” Irvin said. “When you’re 12-27, you don’t even get the opportunity at a playoff win. You’re measuring it the wrong way. You’re talking about a young guy in 39 games. That’s not much experience now. So you see there’s a chance to get better. That’s good. You got to give it time. These things were being said about Eli [Manning] two years ago and Eli went and won a Super Bowl and now no one says that. I don’t know much about this thing called football, but I know …”

Irvin’s voice trailed off at that point, unable to finish any sentence that starts off with the idea that he doesn’t know much about football.

That’s almost as ridiculous as saying Romo should be benched.



And I repeat, this town is retardly Cowboy crazy right now.

[Stiker]

That article more or less sums up the insanity. It is unreal. I donno which can be worse at times, Cowboys fans for ND fans. Each have their own special kind of bat-shit crazy that can drive me up the wall.

I know this is off-topic, but we don't have a college thread yet, so I'll spoiler it, but I'll be damned if I didn't laugh my ass off:

Coach Plants Foot in Mouth: “Second-year Hawaii football coach Greg McMackin said Notre Dame players engaged in a “little faggot dance” when describing a banquet the night before the Hawaii Bowl last December.” UPDATE: LISTEN TO THE AUDIO HERE (via; note laughter in the room). After saying the quote, McMackin backtracked: “Don’t write that ‘faggot’ down. I was misquoted. Just please … cover for me. Go ahead, say ‘faggot dance.’ No. Please cover for me on that, too — right Karl [Benson, WAC Commish] ? I’ll deny it. Anything else?” Then he left. He returned 15 minutes later: “I want to officially, officially apologize. Please don’t write that statement I said as far as Notre Dame. The reason is, I don’t care about Notre Dame. But I’m not a … I don’t want to come out and have every homosexual ticked off at me. You know what I mean. Because I don’t have any problem with homosexuals. But I apologize for saying that and I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t run that word. If you said dance, that’s OK. But don’t use the bad term that I chose, please. Thank you.” If he really wants to save face, produce the video and let everyone decide for themselves. [Reno Gazette Journa via Pat Forde]
