Guess his meant some kind of ultra-marathon?

So I was browsing my woeful fantasy team today trying to pick up a running back to replace the one that as of last night is down to only one intact ACL. Anyway, I came across this quote in the fantasy news from Julius Jones and I just had to share. Regarding his lack of touches in the Cowboys rotation:

"It's a long season - it's a race, not a marathon. I'm going to keep my head in the game. When my time comes, I'll be ready for it."


You have to wonder if the guy from cowboys.com didn't snicker just a little when he was writing that down on his notepad. The cliche he was going for is actually one of my favorites ("It's a marathon not a sprint"), but he butchered it so badly that I might even stop using it for a while.

He's just following in the storied Cowboy tradition of Emmitt "you can't change the stripes on a leopard" Smith.
