Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

I’m not going to say we’re better. We’ve got to go out there and prove it. We had to prove it even if he was on this team, so I’m not going to say that by any means,” Prescott said
“But I know what adding a guy like Kenny Clark, adding a true leader, a real man that’s going to only elevate this team, who’s been a Pro Bowl player and is excited about being here [means].

Cowboy Wisdom
Phil has a question:
Has Dak Prescott taken too many shots to the head or is he just plain naturally fucking stoopid.
How big will the letters on the posters of this quote be when posted on the Packers’ lockers when they play the Dallas Cowboys on September 28, 2025.
How big will the target on Dak Prescott’s back be when the Dallas Cowboys play the Green Bay Packers on September 28, 2025.
Do you think the rest of the Dallas Cowboys offence especially the offensive line are happy with idiot Dak giving Micah Parsons added incentive to knock them on their stoopid fat asses.
Do you think the rest of the Dallas Cowboys are happy with idiot Dak saying that they had to bring in a true leader and real man to elevate their team.
Does the stupidity on the Dallas Cowboys drip down from the ownership suite or percolate up from the quarterback room.
Will Stephen A. even waste his breath dissing the Dallas Cowboys as they self destruct.

The Ringer – Steven Ruiz – Jerry Jones Lost the Micah Parsons Trade and His Reputation
Phil has a question:
Did Jerry Jones really lose his reputation as a lying, sleazeball, racist businessman who cares more about dollars than about his players or fans.
Would Jones have negotiated differently if Parsons’ agent was white.
Jones seems to enjoy the fact that the Cowboys are always in the news. He sees it as good for business. But is that really a positive when the reason is your team becoming a laughing stock? At some point winning – which is also good for business – has to become the priority.
The Score – Dan Wilkins – Trade grades: Evaluating the Micah Parsons blockbuster
The Jones family has made a mockery of the franchise they brought to relevance 30 years ago and has coasted like a gasless convertible for the last two decades. What’s truly sad is that all of this cheapness, all of this incredible lack of giving a s–t from ownership, has overshadowed one of the league’s best personnel departments, which unearthed Tony Romo in undrafted free agency. It also selected Dak Prescott in the fourth round after the owner professed his love for *checks notes* former Houston Roughnecks quarterback Connor Cook. This is a group of people who built the best offensive line in the NFL—a unit which remained that way for half a decade—but withered under a predictable offense piloted by a head coach the owner couldn’t be bothered to part ways with.
ESPN – Tod Archer – Sources: Micah Parsons traded to Packers, gets record contract
Phil has a question:
Will the Green Bay breezes miraculously heal Micah Parson back tightness.
Will anything ever cure Jerry Jones wallet tightness.
Phil has a question:
Would Micah Parsons get more sympathy if he had a barn to paint.
The Score – Daniel Valente – Jones: Parsons’ agent told me to stick contract terms up my ass
Phil has a question:
Does Jerry Jones think that continuing to air the dirty laundry between him and Micah Parsons and Micah Parsons’ agent is helping the situation.
Would you want to play for an owner who thinks like Simon Legree.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.

“They think that sports is better reality TV. I was like, it’s the same thing,” Obama said, referring to debates over content she has had with Robinson and her husband, former President Barack Obama.
She added, “If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it’s like watching the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ It’s the same drama, and they’re yelling at each other, and they don’t get along. Stephen A. Smith, he’s just like every other talk show.”
Obama went on to say she finds the “sociological drama” that reality television series and sports talk television both produce “fascinating,” regardless of the gender of the people on screen.
Sports is the toy department of human life.

Phil has a question:
Do you think that Michelle struck a chord.
The importance that our society attaches to sport is incredible. After all, is football a game or a religion? The people of this country have allowed sports to get completely out of hand.
