Dallas Cowboys fans shouldn't fret over Eagles adding Samuel

advertisement

In the past 48 hours, I've received several e-mails from fans wondering how the Cowboys could sit idly by while the Eagles signed free agent cornerback Asante Samuel.

From the tone of the e-mails, you'd think by giving Samuel a six-year, $57 million deal ($20 million guaranteed) the Eagles had all but guaranteed themselves a sweep of the Cowboys next season and the NFC East title.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

That's right Cowboys fans, nothing to fear with the Eagles.

Its all the Giants and Eagles next season. The Boys and Skins can battle for a distant 3rd and 4th spot
