    Michael cut the second white playter, mean while the same two lazy azz brothers are still lazy and not in shape to play. You can teach a player to run and hit other players, but you can't teach someone NOT to be Lazy. They never learned a thing after the PAC MAN Jones thing. I like Dallas but not when they get these 2nd hand loosers.

    Are you kidding me?! Really?! The two same guys got pulled into the war room for being lazy, out of shape, no heart and he gives them a third chance? When McGann gets cut for making one small mistake and gets knocked down when he was off balance. He didn't get knocked on his ass. Not even a warning. That was weak!!! Mike even said, Jay's first impression of Jones was that he was LAZY, and that was without even seeing him run any drills. As for Gonzales, he coughed the balls up all night long. Come to think of it, those two were called out on the carpet the first week, then again during the drills and again called back to the war room!!! So, he essentially gave those two not three chances, but FOUR!!! Well, one white boy left, Mike... hmmmm i wonder who will go home next week? Pathetic!!!

    This has nothing to do with RACE......... The Second "WHITE GUY" got cut becauce he either couldnt or didnt want to stay on his feet! He had NO business being out there if he was going to be taken to the ground so easy......On top of that, he choose to try and use speed off the line......Didnt work out tto well, for him as we all saw



    That being said.......Jones and Speedy have about as much business out there as I do.......... & Im a 40 year old "White Guy"......There 15 minutes are about up........

    I don't like getting into the whole race thing but come on now. You tell the white guy in the first elimination that you dont give second chances and then these two F%#@ ups get three or four more chances. Please. They should both be gone that is ridiculous. I guess Irvin is just the Charles Barkley of football. They should have got Deone to do this show instead. This is the last one I watch I can tell you that much.

    McGann gets cut. For What! Losing his balance once. I bet if you looked at everyone's film close enough, that in the film you could pick some bullshit little problem like they did with McGann. This is a really good show, but Irvin has found a way to display the weakness of his mind, and weakness of the show. I'm afraid in the end we will not see who is really honorable enough to make this team. I'm not saying that McGann out performed the next guy, but I am saying from what I saw on the show McGann out performed Speedy by a long shot. I no that most of us free thinkers don't want to bring up race, but how can you not when it's so obvious. Hey I would like to say one more thing, "Hey Joe and Bill Bates you keep running your yaps about Slapdicks, and Redo¿s, why don't you speak up to the Irv and tell him to stop cutting the talent and get rid of these punks". I mean one guy is blaintantly lazy, and this Speedy character couldn¿t out run or out gun Speedy Gonzalez. Undalay Undalay, Areeba Areeba!!! Undalay!!! it¿s Time to kick the Irv to the curb. Even if they don't I will continue to watch, but we wont get the real results. Now we no why Jerry Jones has lost his Mojo, because he's stuck on a has been, who couldn¿t make a legitimate decision to save his jock strap. Hey Mike You were a awesome football player, but hey man don't go into politics because we can all see through you like a shiny piece of glass.

    ok why is the race card always pulled out when it comes to some type of reality show!!!!! Grant it the same too that got pulled in last week were in there again this and if you asked me they should be gone. But if you are a real true football player you are goin to want a guy that can run up the middle and take a hit and still have the ball! What Micheal was sayen that with gamble being the smallest db out there and you as a wide reciever why would you run around him instead of into him you got the size so you must not have the streghten and the fact of the matter is about what you show them and grant the other two are lazy and but they got heart and ole boy did not show heart. So for all those out there that want to pull the raciest card grow up that sh@t is old and worn out! Remember this is a reality show any ways so what you getten mad for.

    Guys, don't get too worked up over the first bunch of cuts. The coaches probably already narrowed down their selection for winner to 2 or 3 players before the show even began filming. The purpose of the first 8 or 9 shows are just to create TV drama and build an audience. The coaches need to weed out a bunch of guys and will find any small reason to do so. They may even be making controversial cuts so that people talk more about the show. Heck, the producers could be bringing Gonazlez and Jones into the judgment room on purpose to build up their notoriety before those two players make a "come-back", overcoming lack-of-heart and laziness to make it to the final 3...gotta love television.

    Come on, please.... Receiver that big has no right to be there if he's avoiding hits and not taking hits to pick up extra yards. One or two extra yards on a play because the receiver is physical is huge.

    Then again Gonzales didn't show any thing better this week, speed yes, hands and route running no.

    Jones is obviously out of shape, but he's got speed, strength, not afraid to get physical, and is still young enough where a training camp would have no problem getting him into shape. You gotta figure these drills are way tougher than most football drills.

    Gonzales should be gone next week if he keeps it up.

    You guys are morons. It's not just a reality show. It is a chance to make the DALLAS COWBOYS 80 MAN ROSTER! Do you know how lucky they even are for getting this chance. I would be surprised if the winner of this show makes the 53 man roster, very surprised. It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with who has a higher ceiling or potential to be a good football player. Michael Irvin, Hall of Famer, knows more about how to play the game than any of you will ever know, so stop debating the cuts likes its Big Brother. Furthermore, the show is cut and directed in a way that makes it more exciting for the viewer, none of you know these guys knowledge of offensive and defensive schemes. My guess is that the two cuts lacked a lot more than was shown on the drills on these episodes, and if you don't see passed that, then you are an idiot and probably know nothing about football.

    Ha Ha. This show is not really showing the true ability of these great atheletes on the show. If you look closely you can tell by how the camera shots are cut. Majority of the shots are cut to fit the coaches opinion weather they find a shot which was taken that day, or a previous day or even a shot not pertaining to what is actually going on. I feel bad for these guys who think their actaully getting a true shot of and oppurtunity of a life time when I believe the net work has already pic their winner before the show has already started. The NFL is a business and we should never forget that. I wish this show focus on their feet work in detail, hips, route running catching, covering and true insight on what is happing before we give our opinion. The last reciever who got cut was a good reciever which we really didnt see how good he was. Any good athlete when interview will say they have a lot to work on. PLEASE READ BETWEEN THE LINES. No one is perfect we just practice to get better. This show is a set up I just wish the best for the guys who took time at their life. Hopefully TV time will land them some where.

This show is not worth my time any more. My Tivo will be free of retarded shows now. I feel bad for the guys who are being exploited for the entertainment once again. Hopefully a lazy guy will get cut in training...Oh this whole show will be on ESPN Classic in no time!

    Race has nothing to do with this. But Michael is running the show like Jerry has run the team for the last 15 years - picking the wrong players. Gonzalez should have stayed but he knows he's on the bubble. Montrelle Jones - as Jay Novacek said - is lazy. McGann made a mistake by trying to go around the little guy but not being physical because of that ONE play? Jones then finished up the show by saying "I'm waiting to be pushed." He is in the cut room 2 times in the first 2 weeks and he is waiting to be pushed? He's a moron. You can't fix stupid - ask Pac Man Jones.

    I'm more concerned about the guy with the dreads. hes not only quick and tough, but smart. he made the db's think more about hurting him and sending amesage then doing what they should have done.... strip the balls. all 3 of the guys that went into the room at the end are already goners they just dont know it yet. who cares WHEN they get kicked off. we already know they arent gona be in the top 3 for this show. and mike didnt kick the white guy off the show cause he got knocked on his ass. thats just acondition of the guy having bad football instincts.... you trample the little guy... and go around the big guy. its actualy quite simple.

    Cool show, but should be an hour so we can actually get a better view of the players. Either way, whoever wins won't make the final roster cuts before the NFL season starts.

    I think everyone is not getting the pictures....for those of you who has every had to try-out for football will know that it is not about strenght or speed it is a whole lot more than that. Now with that in mind those coaches or looking for something in someone that they dont get a chance to do when they are drafting. Now anyone black,white,mexican.samonian,asian,other...it does matter if you get knocked down by anyone smaller than you with a shoulder dont not need to play for the Boys as far as im concerned...remember its not the great plays its the bad ones...

    Look, McGann said it himself. If you have one bad day, you don't get another chance to do it again. It is not race or anything like that, he had a bad day and also if you were looking at potential -- Speedy and Montrell had more potential. True, most potential players get into trouble or work a little bit less, but if you get them to work, it will pay off. So it is not a race thing, it is a potential thing. Anyway, this is a great show and I hope they come back with it next year, but I think with a different team, because you can do it for most of the teams in the NFL. Also, Hollie the trainer is nice, bring her back for sure next season!!!

    This is definately about race. Jones is lazy, every one sees it. He has been calle on this over and over. Now we learn that the reason he never made it to the NFL in the first place was because he was a substance abuser and couldn't make his colledge grades, which tells me his is not serious and really lazy. Why should he get 4 chances?mmmmm.....because he is black? Yet, the big white reciever gets cut his first time in the war room......it smells fishy to me. McGann made a mistake by going around the smaller player but I really don't think it was because he wasn't physical. I just think he was trying to outsmart the weather and overthought the situation. He should have been give a second chance to prove his toughness. I believe had that been done instead of giving the other two, (who have already recieved second, third and fourth chances) , McGann would have come up big next week learining from his mistake. Oh well, I guess Irvin will not be happy until there are no "white boys" in the NFL.
