FIL is going on hospice care. Could be days or weeks. He is in renal failure on top of many other issues. For those that pray, your prayers for peace and calm during this time for my wife and our family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, VN family.

The Church crowd at the local CB this Sunday..... View attachment 765562
*they'll keep on going and change the menu to something more "modern" too. They'll eventually drive out the regulars, drive up their prices, and then wonder why they're having to close half their restaurants. They must have hired the CEO from Krystal.

The last few times I have been to Cracker Barrel, they were filthy, bad service and one time received burnt food. Food was so bad they would not let us pay. Manager was embarrassed and gracious, but we ended up going to get fast food afterward. Needless to say, I have not eaten at CB in several years.

Zack Martin over Johnny Manziel (his dad’s favorite obsession)? I agree. Talent has bounded upwards since Stephen perfected the technique of convincing Jerry that vetted scout evaluations are his own idea. Pretty sure Jerry reverted to form with Mazi Smith, but the goal is more hits than misses.

The service is always bad. Just slow, and apathetic. Food isnt great. Usually only option around.

Wish they'd have the fire going. Always liked that aspect.

The Cowboys problem isn’t drafting. Stephen is actually a pretty good GM when it comes to drafting.

Their problem has been their coach picks and Jerry not letting go.

All of their high salaries have been their own picks- Dak, Lamb, Tyron Smith, Zack Martin, Center from Wisconsin, Ferguson, Odighizuwa, Parsons, Diggs in addition to Demarcus Lawrence and Ezekiel Elliott before they left.

One of my favorite things we ever did was when my grandfather was in hospice care, we put on like every one of his favorite movies and just sat and watched them with him. Watched Platoon, Animal House, Christmas Vacation and The Good the Bad and the Ugly among some other westerns and such. He just had a revolving door of relatives coming in and enjoying some of his favorite media with him. First time we saw him smile in months was when John Belushi was on screen in Animal House. Just an idea that turned out great if you don't know what else to do. I'm praying for you and yours to have a peaceful next couple of weeks, my friend. Godspeed.

The only good thing coming out of the Hiter snub is that it just may keep some of our really good RB's out of the portal

Too soon :) :)

Maybe not too soon,, but not sensible for sure.

How’s it a good thing to not lose a really good player, by not getting a great player??

Several locations - the burnt food was our local CB.
I have friends who eat there 2 or 3 times a week. I have had no luck there
A couple of years ago, I ate at the Merchants Road location and meal was ok. Only reason I ate there was because someone gave me a gift card

Jerry's #1 concern in hiring a head coach is to find a kiss ass brown noser. That's been the Cowboys' problem for the last 30 years.

I've had one of my best Cracker Barrel meals at the Merchants Rd location and one of the worst CB meals at the Merchants Rd location. And they were both within 2-3 weeks of each other. 😳


*About every restaurant in that area has gotten bad. Cracker Barrel is the last restaurant around there we still go to.
