My grandfather died this morning and I will be participating in his funeral later this week, so I’ll probably miss the opening days of camp. More as I know it.

Take care of yourself and your family, Raf. There will be plenty of time for camp reports and roster arguments later. Peace.
Raf, my condolences to you and your family.
Condolences. ONe of my grandfathers lived to 96- and he started out at the age of 12 and worked 50 years in the coal mines. I think he would have lived several more years if they had not decided to move to florida and he no longer had a garden or part time painting/carpentry to keep him busy. He just sort of slowed down and passed away. He was still working a full time job untill he was 87.
I still miss him. No matter how long they are with you, its never long enough.
Raf, my grandmother died a couple weeks ago a week shy of her 103rd. I am sorry for your loss, but relieved you have a great perspective on his life. I felt the same way.
Sorry for your loss,an extremely heartfelt prayer goes out to you and your family.
Sorry to hear about your grandfather, my condolences to you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Raf…….102…what a great life
Sorry for your loss, I also envy your family for having so long to learn from a person who has been a part of this world for so long…. I bet he had great stories to tell about life.. Cheerish the MEMORIES…..
Thanks for everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers. On his age, yes, it is amazing to think that Teddy Roosevelt was president when he was born.
My condolences to you and your family, my Great grandfather passed in 1982, always loved listening to his stories about his younger days and his days in the wars to end all wars when I was a kid. I’m sure your grandfather had some great stories to tell.
The Commissioner has ordered Mike Vick to NOT show up to camp until the league conducts their investigation.
In a letter to mike Vick, Commissioner Goodell said: “While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility as commissioner of the National Football League to determine whether your conduct, even if not criminal, nonetheless violated league policies, including the Personal Conduct Policy.”

I was thinking about DC.com article on injuries. Particularly about Stanback. Assuming he’s signed, would he be eligible for the PUP list? If he is, then he would not count as part of the 53 man active roster, right? That would give him from 6 to 10 weeks, to determine if we need him or if he’s ready to play. If not, we could put him on IR and effectively “redshirt” him, correct?
Assuming these assumptions are correct, don’t be surprised if he opens the season on PUP, then ends up on IR. IF we have a lot of injuries at WR early in the year, then he comes off the PUP list and plays this year.
Just a guess.
God Bless.
Our condolences on your loss.
Raf,
Condolences to you my friend. Theres never usually the “right” words to say at these times, But just know you have everyone here in your corner and we hope for nothing but the best for you and your family. god bless sir. R.I.P. Mr. Vela
I’ve never attended a Cowboys game in person. Do row 1 seats have a good view, are do players/cameras/etc obstruct your sightlines?

With 102 years worth of stories I’m sure there will be much fond reminiscing of him at the funeral. I hope you and your family find some joy in the sadness celebrating what sounds like a life well lived.
