Didn't see this anywhere in ATL(I even did a search!), apologies if it is redundant. I cannot imagine a better marriage...except for maybe the Cowboys & TO.
Breaking from their recent history of employing young placement specialists who worked for minimum wages, the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday signed unrestricted free agent kicker Mike Vanderjagt, a colorful eight-year veteran who is the NFL's career leader in field goal percentage.

I thought they might get him - this guy will make a lot of kicks for them

Looks like Parcells is just loading up on guys that will speak poorly of their teammates publicly. Should be a fun year.

Man, poor Drew Bledsoe, I have all the respect in the world for him and these two arse-holes are going to tear him apart.

I don't think I'd want to sign any kicker whose surname sounds like a Dutch prog rock band.

I'm glad we didn't sign him, because I wouldn't want to have to try to spell his name.

Peyton just calls him 'Liquored Up Kicker' for short.

liquiored up kicker and a cancer at wide receiver.
this is enough to turn the tuna into jaws rather quickly.

Is there any way we can convince Stephon Marbury to play football for the Cowboys?

The Tuna is going to have a heart attack or a stroke before the season ends!

I think that this guy's not going to be anywhere near the problem that Owens is. This guy is one of the best kickers in the NFL right now and there is no reason to believe he will be anything less this year - a really good pickup for the pukes. The media may try to hype it differently but this guy will score a lot of points before he's finished and he will not be a distraction.
Owens is a whole different story.

Ouch.
For the record, when it comes to controlling players, Dungy and Reid have none.

They signed Vanderjerk and the bigest jerk, TO. Should be a interesting year.

TO is possibly the best wideout in the league (attitude aside) and will have opertunities to put up points also. They have both been distraction for thier former teams. Vanderjack normally in the off-season, TO right in the middle of a playoff race is his prefered time to act up. So you could have year round turmoil or two jerks who will cancel each other out, and get everyone else focused.
Bottom line this was a signing I saw coming but could have done without.

vanderjagt doesn't kick kickoffs, this is not the last kicker the cowboys will sign before the season.

we cant let them steal away with a kicker we might want. gibbs was sayin we need some depth to take the load off hall.. leave him for only fgs. frost isnt gonna do it. i had a dream last night about frost and his punt went like 8 yards and sideways.. i screamed and woke up

Valid point but, to that end, no one has a history of controlling TO

Keep in mind I'm a Knick fan (and I also do sidework for them) so I'm responding moreso for the Marbury comment

remember Parcells has a history of taking problem childs and turning them into gems.
Terry, Keyshaun, LT, Byran Cox, there tons of problems that have played for Parcells and turned out fine. I wouldn't just rule a man with Parcells history out just yet.

I'm one of the few Skins fans that think TO will be a great team player on and off the field this time around, he will help the Cowboys a bunch, I hope I'm wrong but I think so. That said, I still think the Skins are a way more superior team in alomost all positions, including coaching.

Remember Parcells has a very favorable record against Gibbs.

I'm not sure I'd call any of those players 'gems' (LT, of course, excluded). I would agree that they behaved better for Parcells than their respective reputations would suggest, but I can't say I've seen them (LT, of course, excluded) hoising any Lombardis.
