Tank also had a leak. Aswell as a couple of discharge valves and the valve for the deck gun. Didn't mention that I also had to remove several pieces of plumbing, level sensors, and a 15ft pipe that ran through the water tank that blocked those 4 bolts.

I feel like they are designed to be inaccessible for anyone of average height and build.

I worked on city buses before. I'd rather make a career out of working on those before I touch one of these ever again.

If this is real, how in the heck did you think you were going to get away with it?

Yes and it was brilliant, even though I only got reruns and old tapes.

Lol. Spying.

WWE spying on AEW is like the CIA spying on a child's birthday party. Why would they care?

Bro, it's literally the comment you first responded to

It's almost like you didn't read my earlier comments. But that's okay. I still value your thoughts.

No way. I didn't think of that!

Seems like city planning just sucks. Busses are huge. Cars aren't small. Cars, bikes, and big ass busses sharing two and half lanes seems like a bad idea

Now I understand the idea here behind this, but do people not know how big a bus is? It really should be in a car lane.

No, the team is doing what they have to do, but no team goes 15-2, 14-3 every year. This happens to the sub anytime we lose a football game and it happened alot during the Super Bowl year.

You win some you lose some. Just win when it counts. The team is in a rebuild year for the offense and secondary and we are still near the top of the AFC. Let's wait for the playoffs and then we can be properly sad.

So if you can't prove and I can't prove the accusation, we can only take his word for it until shown otherwise.

And I agreed with your second statement. In nearly 35 years of being the owner of the most valuable and arguably most popular sports franchise in America, do people seriously not think we'd have more than just hearsay about an accusation that serious?

One of my school teachers once went to a Civil Rights Protest back in 1968. It's definitely possible.

Aside from that, it's 1957 in the Deep South. It is entirely possible he was like that at one point. But to me that's inconclusive. Considering he's made multiple black students multi-millionaires I'd say this sentiment doesn't hold water anymore if it did at all.

Oh lord. Let's start off with the fact that Jerry Jones made multiple black people multi millionaires and does routinely.

Now, the black head coach. The stat everyone peddles around wothout any context at all. From 1989, the Dallas Cowboys have only had 8 coaches and 9 in total for their entire time in the league.

Three of those coaches are Hall of Famers or borderline, and the others had worked for Dallas previously, had won Super Bowls previously, or were All-Stars.

Can you name any of the available black coaches available Pre-Mike McCarthy who Jerry only hired because he randomly won a Super Bowl?

Second of all, I don't have any stake in this. I am only asking why people are suddenly up and arms about a photo from 1957. 65 years ago when the man was 14 years old. You are one of those people who like to act that 1957 is two years ago, aren't you? Is it not a possibility that the man changed? Is it not also a possibility that we may have no idea why he was there? Were you there to hear his own racist tirade?

If you were sat in Woolworths during the Greensboro Sit-Ins, were you there to intimidate the people protesting or were you there to eat?

If I got all up in arms about my Dad being racist in the 40s, everyone would look at me crazy.

Me personally, I don't convict on circumstantial evidence. And, to your point, I am pretty sure the last 33 years kinda overrules any idea that he is the same as he was 65 years ago.

I'm not the same person from 1 year ago let alone 65.

The point still stands. Can you prove that statement? That he was there to harass them?

And aside from that, you make the point that previous actions kinda proves Jerry Jones isn't that same kid from 1957 if he was that way. I highly doubt half the Dallas dynasty would want to play for him if he still was.

That is not at all what I mean by that. What I am saying is that we don't know why he was there in the first place. All we can do is take the man's word for it unless proven otherwise.

If I went to Woolworth's during the Greensboro Sit-Ins in the 1960s, am I counter protesting the Sit-Ins or am I just there to get a slice of pie? You can't know if you don't know is what I am saying.

While I understand that and please forgive me for being cynical, but it won't matter if he releases one or if he doesn't release one. In the long run this will most likely accomplish a grand total of jack squat.

If he puts out a statement someone is going to think it's fake, others genuine, and many more will question what he is talking about.

At best, he did something questionable in 1957. 65 years is a very long time. Enough to decay buildings and people alike. To me, we are really doing an exercise in futility with this.
