The Landry Hat Gets Four Pinocchios

Pinocchio and Jiminy (A.A.)

Oh, hell no! They went Disney on us? Well, an eye for an eye, baby. And at least we’re tying our images in, adding a little insult to the image. Peter Pan? Cinderella? No explanation? WTF? Sweet imagination. Walt would be ashamed of you. Speaking of images, instead of bringing a knife to a gunfight, that effort is kind of like a retarded kid bringing MS Paint to a Photoshop showdown. Hey, he tried. We do more than try around these parts.

Now, the Pinocchio/Jiminy Cricket reference isn’t because most Cowboys fans are fairweather coattail riders that jumped on board during either the golden Landry years or The Triplets era. It’s a reference to the straight up whoppers the lead blogger of The Landry Hat, Dan T., has been telling.

Whopper No. 1: Marion Barber, at this point and time, is better than Larry Johnson.

Reality: The stats in no way, shape or form support that. L.J. has consistently been a top-five rusher since taking over for Priest Holmes, and the statistics support that. Easily. Barber has never recorded a 1,000-yard or 20-touchdown season, and last year he couldn’t even beat out Julius Jones. Barber is a fine player, but he isn’t nearily as accomplished or feared at this juncture.

Whopper No. 2: Jason Witten, at this point and time, is better than Tony Gonzalez.

Reality: Witten has never topped Gonzalez head-to-head in catches or yards in any of his five seasons. Dan has tried to compare the way they began their careers to say Witten is/has been the better player, which makes about as much since as an asshole on an elbow, but I digress. There is no reasoning with this guy. This argument has absolutely no merit.

We have no choice but to implement the Washington Post’s “Pinocchio Test” as a result of these fantastic whoppers, and give Dan T. a score of FOUR PINOCCHIOS for his tall tale shenanigans. Congrats to The Landry Hat! You are flushing blogger credibility down the toilet with each post. Appreciate that.

You got played like a puppet, son. Don’t make us go Dumbo on that ass.

That woman is just fantastic, I mean a lot seems to think she is not to clever but that's just an act, it does take some skills to become one of the most famous people in the world.

No it's not far. It's like comparing Marion Barber to Emmitt Smith or TO to Jerry Rice.

Im not anointing him, but he's better than Palmer. And I know you all agree Witten is good, When I said good I was refering to the comparing argument..
C'mon not good enough to lick TG's boots? Thats a little far.

NOBODY HERE EVER SAID WITTEN ISN'T GOOD. Everyone knows he's good. He just can't lick Gonzo's boots.

As far as Romo goes, I personally think he's the next Brett Favre, but give him a few years before anointing him.

put* apologize for horrible grammar

Thxz Adam.
But xxlp witten but up the same stats actually a lil better with T.O on the opposite side, gobbling up over 1300 yards an 81 receptions and 15 Td's
So either you gotta admit Wittens good or Romos good there no way around it.

P.S dont even post Bowes stats cuse i know them, and there no T.O stats, I mean even Crayton had more Td receptions then Bowe, so dont embarass yourself.

Man, even most cats would be dead by now. You won't die, will you? Just kidding, VD, comment over here as much as you want!

XXXLP

you can try to sound smart all you want. You can try to prove your point all you want. But that wont help you considering that everyone in there right mind would pick Romo over Palmer. So give it up!
Why dont you try to think of another argument i can bitch slap you in. But considering you dont think a Qb rating of 96.4 to Palmers 86.7 plus throwing for 10 more TD's is a Bitch slapping then you should seriously go to a doctor.
And again I have to remind you that I didnt say witten was Better than Gonzalez. And to be such a Homer to say they shouldnt even be compared is retarded. TG has MORE stats but even Gonzalex would tell you that Witten is up and coming and theres nothing you can do about that my friend.

Palmer has just over twice the amount of playing time, with just over twice the amount of stats.. If you're going to say that his numbers are mediocre, then please lump in Romo in that category. As I've also stated before- they are the same age, and came into the NFL the same year. It's not Carson's fault he was good enough that he started playing before Romo did. It's the same as the Gonzalez/Witten argument, they're both good now, but to compare the two is insane, because one's done it more consistently or better throughout his career, than the other. By the way, I'd like you to explain how 4,000 yards two years in a row is 'mediocre', especially since your beloved Romo has not accomplished that feat yet, nor has he gone through a blowout of his knee. Please explain it? And also, you failed to mention where the bitchslap was I was promised.. Coincidence? No. Run along back to the Cowgirls site. This thread is over.

XXXlp

Palmer has more stats becasue he has played longer, you dont need to show me stats to prove that. Romo is a better quarterback Now. This is my point and has always been. You wrong, Palmer is not better than Romo becasue he has mediocre stats from previous Years. Becasue thats all your saying.

Sure, because him throwing for over twice as many yards, and 49 more touchdowns, makes him a worse quarterback, right? Explain please. There, nice and simple post, since obviously you had trouble reading my last one, with actual facts, since you say I like to make up things... Just go back to the Cowgirls site and be happy that you have Romo.

P.S. Keep your fingers crossed for that Romo/Simpson duet album, it'll be priceless. The next 'William Hung' style album.. I smell a hit baby!

xxxlp
give it up your wrong you just wasted everyones time by having us read that useless post. So stop writing books no one wants to read. Even your fellow chief fan seanbcool agrees that Romo is the better quarterback. Seriously, everyone would take Romo now over Palmer.

Instant classic
That's all I am gonna say LOL

that fuckin guy looks like a drunk ass gomer pyle, lol, anyways, we'll see how this season goes and ill bet the chiefs do better than the faggots from philly and the queers from dallas..GO CHIEFS

100th post!

Wow. I didn't think we would hit 100 posts till the 08' season started.

Almost platinum on this one...

Sadly mistaken MBIIIeffect... Sadly mistaken. Are you here because VD passed along that since yesterday I was handing out mental rapings for free? The QB rating, while showing a nice picture of how they've done, is quite useless as far as stats go. You can see from the yards, td's, and picks, pretty much what their rating will look like. Ratings mean about as much as points on Whose Line is it Anyway? Tom Brady has recorded an under 90 QB rating 4 times in his career (in seasons which he started at least 15 games), and yet, I don't think we argue that he is one of the top two quarterbacks in the game today.. I didn't post the attempts/completions, or the completion percentage, also, because I felt like VD would be unable to comprehend the numbers :).

Looking over my shoulder, scared? I do believe that I've posted on the Cowgirls site a few times, no? And the last post, The Landry Hat and the Epic Homerism. To reiterate... I'm not just speaking to you, I'm also speaking to TLH (the very first few posts I did were mainly to him.) and also VD for the most part. As you've said, we've done this a few times, and I know you're not that ignorant..

So MBIII, what's your opinion on the Palmer/Romo thing? Who is better, at this point in time? Go ahead and make my day. To make it clear, I was speaking of their careers, who has done better? And since you want to add alot of the stats, not just the 'major three', then here goes..

So here's your wanted stats.. (Carson's numbers will be first, obviously, they are much higher than Romo's, you'll be able to tell the difference naturally, but wanted to point that out.)

Completions: 1305, 555.
Attempts: 2036, 857.
Completion Percentage: 64.1, 64.8.
Yards Thrown: 14,899 , 7114.
Average Yards Per Throw: 7.3, 8.3.
Touchdowns: 104, 55.
Interceptions: 63, 32.
Sacks: 97, 45.
Sack Yards Lost: 635, 300.
Quarterback Rating: 90.1, 96.5.
Rushing Attempts: 102, 67.
Rushing Yards: 135, 229.
Rushing Average: 1.3, 3.4.
Rushing Touchdowns: 2, 2.
Fumbles: 27, 19.
Fumbles Lost: 12, 5.

I've looked up injury histories for both players- and all I could find was a 'sore thumb' for Tony Romo, and for Carson Palmer, torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments, along with a dislocated knee-cap. To come off that injury and throw for 4,000+ yards 2 years in a row.. When most quarterbacks don't hit 4,000 period. Impressive.

In 1st, 2nd, or 3rd goal, Carson is money. Throwing for 13 touchdowns, with 0 interceptions, 1 sack, and 0 fumbles. Tony Romo has 13 touchdowns with 2 interceptions, 2 sacks, and 2 fumbles.

I could grab some more stats, but I feel that is efficient enough, at least for now. As I said before- and obviously you guys can't get.. Tony Romo isn't that bad of a player. He's just not as proven as a guy like Carson Palmer. He's on pace to put up numbers almost exactly like Carson's, so I'm not saying he's bad. Where exactly is this 'bitch slapping' I was promised?

Romo has been inconsistent (who isn't in their first couple years of starting?) and has only been starting half the time that Palmer has already played. Romo one day could be better than Palmer, but seeing as how they came into this league at the same time, and the fact that Carson has 2 years of playing time ahead of Romo.. Assuming they leave at around the same time, and have comparitive stats based on what they've already done, Carson will always have better stats than Romo. Anything can happen, it's the NFL way, but the only thing we can assume is that for the next 4-5 years at least, barring major injuries, they're both going to be good/great QB's. The argument that Romo is better than Palmer at this juncture though, is idiotic, to say the least. You (MBIII, seeing as how VD can't understand numbers) should look up the situational stats for both players though, pretty interesting stuff.

I actually have to agree that Tony Romo is a little better than Carson Palmer. He's more physically gifted, and I'd take Tony on my team before Carson.

That being said, Eagles fans are the most vile, disgusting, piece of shit fans in the country. They're probably even worse than Raiders fans, and that's saying a lot. And they don't even have anything to brag about except a quarterback that only plays half seasons because he constantly tears his ACL or breaks his toe or accidentally gets his dick ripped off by Jevon Kearse in a giant sucking orgy. Why do you think they traded Kearse?

And don't even get me started on the Phillies. The Royals may be the worst team in baseball but at least they've actually BEEN good before.

QB Ratings From NFL.com

Romo 97.4
Palmer 86.7

god I hate texas and anything that has to do with that god forsaken state.....fuckin cock mongrols

Definitely one of the most entertaining comment threads we've ever had.

I've gotta say something to that Eagles scumbag who stuck his head in this argument, though. First off, Westbrook is about as brittle as they come. Second off, at least our coach doesn't have sons that hide drugs up their ass and are more like Sammy "The Bull" Gravano than him. Oh, and Philly is a dump. I can smell that mixture of pollution, B.O. and stale cheesesteaks from Austin, baby!

Get it out (I'm doing the Mutumbo finger wag)! Even though I think Crane already rejected that weak shit long before I did.

Does TLH have any stats on just what TO injected into himself that got the NFL to take a closer look at him? Oh, I'm just kidding. I miss phone calls all the time, too.

"I was targeting MBIII’s, and TLH’s posts, and you just happened to comment."

I haven't even posted on here yet. Must be lookin over your shoulder, scared.

"Right.. we go by what has happened- and during both of these men’s careers, (that started during the same year, and both have also sat out at least one season, and both have played through injuries, so let’s not hear your sorry excuses any more..) Carson has over twice the yards thrown (14,889 to 7,114), a bit shy of twice the number of touchdowns (104 to 55) and just south of twice the number of picks (63 to 32.)"

I think that Parcells was right for holding Romo out of starting for as long as he did. The learning curve in the NFL is just slightly steeper coming from Eastern Illinois than it is from USC.

You're great at omitting stats, xxxlp, but this one is unforgivable.

QB RATINGS:
Romo: 96.5
Palmer: 90.1

That really felt good, because I know you went through and looked at all the stats for both players and compiled them to make your case, and I bet you even felt a swell of pride as you dared us to claim that Tony Romo was better than Carson Palmer.

And last year, you failed to realize that Tony threw 10 more touchdowns than Palmer. That's a bitch slapping. You've gone up against me a few times now, so you should be familiar with how it feels.

I'm sticking to my guns on the other stuff. I just wanted to make xxxlp feel inadequate.

Holder for a Place Kicker*

XXXLP
When I say bitch slap I mean Romo threw for 10 more touchdowns and beat Palmer in every category and Rushed for a pair of touchdowns. So why dont you get both thier stats in brail and maybe you might be able to tell the difference.

Palmer has played more games of course he has more stats but that doesnt make him better than Romo. Infact Romo went from a placekicker to being one of the top 3 QB's in the NFL NOW. So that says alot for Palmer, he and everyone except Brady, Manning, and Farve got Worked by a former Placekicker.

you know what i just thought of cowboys fans!!! Brodie Croyle is going to be a better NFL QB than Tony Romo!! yippy! ok now heres how i know....

Romo's 1st 2 NFL seasons were in 2003 and 2004, his stats went like this... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0%

OK brodie's 1st two season were like this....
he had 6 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, with a QB rating of 65!! yay this is proof that Brodie will become better than Romo!!

ok....so now do you guys see how stupid you look when you compare Tony Gonzalez to Jason Witten?

Zach- that dude's youtube is nuts, did you see the bottom comment? It said you look 100 years old and I bet you smell like it too.
Hat tip to Bill Burr btw

Phillybird-

I hope that the cheese-whiz is so hot in your next cheese steak sandwich that melts your face off and McNaab breaks both his fucking ankles in the season opener. All of yas…can line up with your Harold Carmichael jerseys, and one at a time you can all suck my d*%$ !

City of Brotherly Love. What a bunch of garbage.
You guys haven’t won a SuperBowl since they invented facemasks! Joe Frazier is from Philly but since you guys are so racist you can't tolerate that shit; So yo build a statue of Rocky a fictional character...a 3 foot white midget. What about your faggy baseball team named after a female horse...the Phillies...you've won one World Series since 1880 in your red candy-striped uniforms-your team should be selling cotton candy at the circus not playing baseball. Maybe if you bring Tug McGraw back from the dead maybe win another one.

And most of all, fuck you for booing Santa.

Well I can honestly say that the Cowboys fans look like geniuses compared to this Eagle fan.

"Gonzalez is also garbage"

That is like calling Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, John Elway, LT (the first and second one) garbage. Get lost you idiot and let us keep this between Cowboys and Chiefs. We know you guys are still crying about TO...

Woah there cowboy, (rofl) how do you figure Romo bitch slapped Palmer's numbers last year? They both threw for over 4,000 yards. That's not exactly bitch slapping... Bitch slapping is what occurs when a single lonely Cowboys fan, starved for attention, comes a-waltzin' into the AA forum. And as you gleefully think you have me caught in my own logic problem... "So xxxlp remember your quote “We go by what has happened”." Right.. we go by what has happened- and during both of these men's careers, (that started during the same year, and both have also sat out at least one season, and both have played through injuries, so let's not hear your sorry excuses any more..) Carson has over twice the yards thrown (14,889 to 7,114), a bit shy of twice the number of touchdowns (104 to 55) and just south of twice the number of picks (63 to 32.) Please explain to me how I'm wrong that Palmer is better? Because *boohoo* Tony didn't start as early as he did? That's not our problem, that's his. As mobile as Tony the Homo Romo is, and he can't beat out the statue formerly known as Bledsoe? That's on him and noone else. Palmer was good enough to start. And start he did. While Tony was holding place kicks for a living, Palmer was chuckin TD's. In 3 years, if Romo is ahead of Palmer in any catagory, then I'll give you a pat on the back, shake your hand, look you in the eye and tell you I was wrong. Until then, grow a pair.. of frontal lobes that is. In case that one managed to slip past the well-oiled machine that is your mind, I'm talking about a brain. Been pwned much? You just have.

"you gotta understand were used to arguing with skins,eagles,and Giants fans, it always turns into whos team has the most crimnals, or Which QB is gay, or who has the hottest girlfrend on the team. And then shortly followed by death threats and suicides"

you made this youtube vid for them didn't you?

as an eagle fan I'd like to say first I do hate dallas but this arguement is senseless just like you inbred douchebags in kansas city...the chiefs are GARBAGE...if you wanna compare running backs let's not compare barber and LJ lets compare LJ and westbrook...let me take that back cause u can't compare the two b/c westbrook is superior...and by the way gonzalez is also GARBAGE while were at it...I think you chief fans need to get your heads out your asses...E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!!!!!

sorry to be off subject, but any news on brandon albert's ankle?
how about them cornerbacks?

Did you ever look at that guys YouTube page? He is a self-proclaimed swinger that has YouTubes of strip clubs, LMAO!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/user/rickryansworld2

Don't forget about this Cowboy
"weiner-sucker scumbags"

I was talking about how you two could share embarrassment...

Now go worry about TO getting caught cheating.

Sources: Owens placed in 'reasonable cause' testing program

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=343397...

Uh-oh, is someone cheating?????

Zach
Did I say that you said it was his fault?, No i did not, I was just throwing that out there. Im not XXXLP I don't put imaginary words In your sentences.
Iv never fumbled as a placeholder. So I don't get the attempt to be funny right there. But you wanna here something that is Funny... 4-12 GO CHIEFS
OH SNAP!

VD, did I say it was? I was referring to the game when he cost you 2 years ago. I know you guys blame Jessica Simpson for this years problems. Fumbling as a placeholder had to be one of the most embarrassing things anyone can ever experience. So now you can at least say that you and Tony have something in common.

BTW, Chiefs fans if we suck this year (which we are rebuilding so it could easily happen) lets blame it on Kelli Croyle or October Gonzalez. The girlfriend or wife is always the reason why guys can't win the big game :)

I hope TO does cry again because it is YouTube gold. Like I said I will be watching the Cowboys a little closer this year...

Yeah well those.. erm.. "Hats" seem to be good fans too. It's not their fault they don't a leg to stand on.

I think this whole experience has brought everyone here closer :p

Adam no hard feeling and you should really get that slimey STD you contracted checked out. And Zach first off you know the Giants game wasnt Romo's fault but if your gonna be one of the greats you gotta beat all the odds, He can do it in the regular season we just need him to do it in the playoffs. The next time you see T.O cry its gonna be tears of joy while raising the Lombardi Trophy.

Still, that's 8 more seconds than we deserve. Well, other than Pollard's scrippa dance. We still have the best fans, VD. STILL!

Yea thanks for telling me what I already knew , And yea I will bring up that Romo didnt play the extra 6 games. And I will bring up that Romo has a little more than half Palmers stats in only 26 games compared to what Carson Palmers done in 61 games. Romo bitch slapped Palmers numbers last year, So xxxlp remember your quote "We go by what has happened". So yes I will say that Romo is better the Palmer. Does being wrong make your day?

No hard feelings, VD, er, TD!

All I have to say is that I love you Addicts! I couldn't be more proud of our readership. The Cowboys have tapped out :)

TD - thanks for the Pinocchio compliment. I knew you liked it, but I actually liked my Homer Simpson of Dan better. TD thanks for being a sport... Good luck with the season and we will make sure to check in with you when Tony Homo screws up again and TO cries about his QB.
