@@@ The story reminds me a lot <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com>Louis Vuitton Tassen Kopen</a> of the generally alarmist nature of the majority of reporting surrounding the Cowboys. You'll easily recognize that type of reporting by its urgent tone, its imagery of impending doom, and its focus on the worst possible outcome. In fact,, you'll get about of 90,000 hits, many from Cowboys sources that I have permanently removed from my reading lists. Similarly, there are reporters covering the Dallas Cowboys that I refuse to read or link to because their entire spiel is alarmism. They do get the occasional nugget right, but they get so much wrong so often that I simply don't trust them to accurately report anything about the Cowboys. Like one of the villagers in Aesop's story, I simply ignore headlines that claim the Cowboys are doomed to suffer in cap hell, are doomed to mediocrity for not drafting Johnny Manziel, are doomed in December, are doomed as long as Jerry Jones is alive, <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com>Louis Vuitton</a> or some other such nonsense.
