It has, unfortunately, become a depressing annual ordeal for the Dallas Cowboys. One or more players run afoul of the NFL rules and/or the law. Suspensions follow. And the debate about just how real the “right kind of guy” philosophy is in Dallas gets fired back up. This year, David Irving has been nailed with a failed drug test involving a forbidden supplement. And Nolan Carroll has just been arrested for a DUI.
But these are a bit different than past issues involving players like Greg Hardy, Randy Gregory, and Orlando Scandrick.
