TAR 16: Daniel Pious and Jordan Pious--Brothers
Prophet:
What have the cowboys done to get so much hate? Nothing like what Dan and Jordan are doing to them that's for sure! And Jordan won, you can't even call him a sore loser! There is no explanation for his issues, he got the million!
For anybody who thinks they somehow offended the brothers b/c of a rumor, Jordan has now made up for it and then some.
Mug Costanza:
Let's just point something out for the folks keeping score at home.
None of us have met Dan & Jordan. None of us have met Jet & Cord. None of us saw how these four people interacted for three weeks of constant contact while filming TAR16. And according to several post-race interviews with Dan & Jordan, both of them made very specific claims about things Jet said to Jordan over the course of the race.
Jordan has been a fan of the show since the beginning. It was his dream to get a chance to run the race, as I'm sure it is for many of us here. He finally got his chance, and was fortunate enough (not lucky... luck doesn't win the race) to come away with the top prize. It just so happened that one of the teams he and his brother beat was one of the most popular teams to EVER run the race, and now Jordan has to deal with a tarnished legacy and claims of cheating. Let's make it clear: I don't approve of the name-calling. But other than that, I have to agree with Jordan. He's being made to seem like he's a liar and a cheater, and it's completely without merit.
Prophet:
I don't think that the brothers cheated their way to victory, the cowboys loss is their own fault.
However, nothing calls for the kind of attitude Jordan is displaying to the whole world. No one has to say anything against him, he is showing everyone what he is really like as are his fans.
For lack of a better expression, cry me a river about his tarnished reputation no one can tarnish your reputation like you can yourself. He obviously doesn't care about it to be acting like that.
No one has accused them of cheating but I would take the so called allegations and the million dollars they have and be happy.
Not at all trying to wage war with you Mug, just ticked off at Mr. Pious.

Beautifully said, Mugs! And some of us have met all of them. :lol:

You only know what you were shown, TP...you do not have access to all the info.
I will just say that Jordan has VERY strong and valid reasons for being upset, although perhaps Twitter is not the best outlet. And for CBS to allow the Cowboys to infer cheating when they plain got outsmarted was not exactly great judgement either, IMO.
With that, I would prefer us to move along, this topic cannot be resolved by us, particularly those who do not have all the facts. We all have our own opinions I am sure, but this is not the place to resolve them.
:ghug:
