Yea, I listened to the PC a few minutes ago and was flabergasted by this idiot's apparent need for attention. I really believe that's what it is with him. It's like he's saying "look at me guys, I'm giving the HC a hard time!". What a jerk.
Add on comment: This is also the same jerk that tried to get Wade to say the Cowboys were a bunch of losers. He actually made me feel sorry for Wade at the time.

He used to be a spot guest on the Randy Galloway show. "Radio Boy" was his nick-name.
i would always text in to the show, asking for them to text me back when Steve Dennis was off the air.
It happened like 3-4 days in a row. Then one day Steve Dennis texted me back. "I am off the air now you can turn it back to Galloway." something like that. Never thougth i would hear a word back about it.

All he got was the standard canned answer. Didn't seem more interesting to me.I don't know, Garrett's response about going 4-0 in the first quarter meaning they should shoot for 2-2 in the second was pretty much a slap in Dennis' smug mouth. After all, he's wanting Garrett to focus on "the big picture" meaning the whole season, not just the Eagles.
If Steve Dennis cannot figure out by now that this coaching staff is not going to look at the past, not going to dwell on last week win or lose, and not going to do anything but prepare for the next game, then he is a mouth breathing moron. It is really just that simple.

In Monday's press conference, Brad Sham asked about the importance of Philadelphia being a division game, to which Garrett replied we don't really care about the division race the 7th game of the season. Calvin Watkins followed up with a question about the necessity of stringing together some wins during this part of the schedule if the Cowboys want to achieve their goals for the season. Garrett basically said they were focussing on having a good Wednesday and trying to get ready for the next game.
Near the end of the PC, Steve Dennis said he couldn't believe that, and asked if Garrett was really that myopic and didn't think about the big picture.
Garrett said, "Wow, that's aggressive!" but answered with a smile. After a follow up from Dennis, Garrett's tone changed. He seemed a little ticked off and talked to Dennis in a slightly condescending tone. I believe Garrett's reply was "I don't really care how we fit in right now."
Garrett also mentioned being on teams where the head coach would say that they were going to take the season by quarters and try to go 3-1 in each quarter. He talked about how silly he thought that was, and that what you are trying to do is be your best every day.
This latter part was interesting to me because I distinctly remember Bill Parcells talking about taking the season in quarters...
The PC link is below. Brad Sham's question is at 20:20, and Watkins' question immediately follows. The exchange with Dennis is at the 26 minute mark.

What intrigues you about Parcells saying it? Week to week makes more sense to me. You focus on improving each week and winning that game, you do that and the quarter will take care of itself.
All that matters from the last game is building off what you did right and learning from what you did wrong. Two weeks out is irrelevant, I side with Garrett on this.

I'm with you on that.
I guess the interesting part to me is that Parcells talked about the things that Sham and Watkins hit upon. Parcells always talked about the importance of division games, and he also mentioned getting to the point of needing to string together a few wins to put the team in position to make a push in December.
When you add the fact that BP talked about splitting the season into quarters, it's hard not to read more into Garrett's comments. At least it is for me. I felt like Garrett was basically saying that there's a new sheriff in town, and this is how we do things. Particularly since Parcells is the last coach most of these reporters respected, and the one that Phillips and now Garrett are measured against.

Garrett actually says quite a bit about how this staff approaches problems and how they evaluate players and their philosophy on just about everything. What he doesn't do is give any fodder for forming debates about players, compare players to each other, compare teams to prior years, say anything bad about other teams, players, or coaches. But the media is more or less at the point where they understand that Garrett's too smart to misstep in those areas, and they stick to actual football questions. I think the PCs are really interesting. Not as good as Parcels, but eons more entertaining than Wade's were.

the thing i respect (and i think a lot of the players respect about steve dennis) is the fact he will always bring the issue to your face. you have to at least give him credit for that. the worst type of media guys are the ones who sing one song in your face and then switch up the tune when writing an article or talking on the radio/tv.
the DC have a huge media following. not everyone is going to be cut from the same cloth. not everyone is going to be a stats guy like Albert Breer. or an unbiased guy like Todd Archer. or a clueless guy like Calvin Watkins. or a pessimist like JTT and Tim McMahon.
Steve Dennis is the same guy he has been here in Dallas for many years. He has not changed one bit even as his profile has gotten bigger. The players joke with him a lot, the coaches don't seem to take issue with his strident form of questioning, the only one who seems to have a problem is you and a few of the sheep on here.

Garrett also mentioned being on teams where the head coach would say that they were going to take the season by quarters and try to go 3-1 in each quarter. He talked about how silly he thought that was, and that what you are trying to do is be your best every day.
It's absolutely silly. A team should focus all its power on getting a win each week as they come along in this league. If you start looking at quarters and hoping to go 3-1, you're teaching a team to not take the losses as hard.
I mean look at it, you're shooting for one loss in 4 games. Sure you're hoping to win the other 3, but the goal should be to win every week. If a team loses the first game of a 4 game stretch, they come out of it saying "it's ok, we just have to win the next 3." That's not the mentality I want.
I want a team to win them all. And when they lose one, I want it to hurt. I don't want a team coming out of a season at 12-4 resting on their laurels, even if they went 3-1 in every quarter of the season. When they make it to the playoffs, there is no going 3-1 over 4 games. You win em all or you go home. The regular season is when you build the "every game is important mentality." You don't adopt it in December/January.
I also don't want my team looking at the standings. If the other teams in your division lose, you have a moral victory from your loss. It's not so bad because every one else lost. BS. Losses should hurt. If you focus on your job, your team doing the best they can every single week, you don't have to mess with that crap.

I miss those too. The last couple of coaches have made the PCs basically pointless to pay attention to.

the thing i respect (and i think a lot of the players respect about steve dennis) is the fact he will always bring the issue to your face. you have to at least give him credit for that. the worst type of media guys are the ones who sing one song in your face and then switch up the tune when writing an article or talking on the radio/tv.
the DC have a huge media following. not everyone is going to be cut from the same cloth. not everyone is going to be a stats guy like Albert Breer. or an unbiased guy like Todd Archer. or a clueless guy like Calvin Watkins. or a pessimist like JTT and Tim McMahon.
Steve Dennis is the same guy he has been here in Dallas for many years. He has not changed one bit even as his profile has gotten bigger. The players joke with him a lot, the coaches don't seem to take issue with his strident form of questioning, the only one who seems to have a problem is you and a few of the sheep on here.
"The players respect him" Name one......just one.....

He needs to be beat up. I know it is not a civilized thing to say but if a good ole fashion *** whomping was the consequence of his BS it would go a long way of making him think before speaking.

It started with that Brooking interview. Many tolerate him. There is a difference.
I don't give him credit at all. Again, he just seems very dumb about football. It is actually mind boggling to him that coaches and players focus on one game at a time? Because that is what you took issue with here and showed himself off as a complete ***.

Babe Laufenberg never has? Jason Garrett didn't just school him and then when someone asked a question mocking Steve Dennis the Cowboys PR guy, Rich Dalrymple, didn't abruptly end the PC?
Need a laxative?

he is one of the best media guys in dallas.
Then the entire collective Dallas media should kick eachother in the butt and ask themselves why they're so terrible. If this guy is one of their best they're absolutely awful.
Not a fan of Papa Ryan, but I kinda respected his take on the media when someone suggested he should be less abbrasive and that it might be a good thing to have them in his corner.
"Why? You cant hurt me if I'm winning and you can't help me if I'm losing"
I love that quote. I believe that was what Barry Switzer always said about the media as well. They couldn't hurt you when you're winning and they can't fire you when you're not. I believe it was something to that effect when he was coaching at OU and then at Dallas.
I actually admit I used to love the way Barry would sometimes go at it with the media about things. The guy was a goofy dude, and a terrible HC for Dallas (But at least he knew his role of how to stay out of the way and let the talent put here get some more W's) but some of his interviews and stuff were hilarious the way he'd deal with the media.
I always felt the same way about Bill when he'd deal with the media, at every stop he had.
Well, in general, you guys are the ones getting hyped over Garrett's PC's. He rarely ever says anything of note in them.
I actually enjoy his PC's for the most part. I don't go in expecting to get any super funny moments or anything like that, like I would with BP, but I definately enjoy them. I like the way he's able to simply do what he's wanting to as far as the media goes and doesn't let them bait him into anything.

Never heard of this, but that is so true. Very good quote

The way Dennis asked the question was over the top, but I must admit I liked the drama. :)
It's like this, I really like Garrett as the head coach of the Cowboys.
But man are his press conferences boring.

I agree. I think Dennis, more than anything, is just trying to make things interesting even if it makes him look dumb.

Yeah that was my take on it.
He knew exactly what he was doing when he used the term "myopic".
I can understand the desire to string him up... But part of me wants to give him a pat on the back for effort. ;)

He'll restate his question and position on Babe's Cowboys Show this Sunday. Hew always does until Randy White puts him in his place.

It's amazing how patient Randy can be with "Radio Boy," even when he makes the most ridiculous comments. He usually just brushes his comments off as an adult would the ramblings of a child. I think he's mellowed with age.
I doubt Dennis is well-respected but I do believe he is liked.

Ah, and that is why you noted that only "Redball Backers" get this worked up over the DFW media.
By the way, listen to Victor Butler.

He doesn't even know what the standings are. Speaks volumes if you are willing to listen.
Wow that Victor Butler is myopic. :bow:

Finally got around to watching it. I love how someone at the end says "oh, how myopic" sarcastically mocking Steve Dennis.
Steve Dennis is pretty much a joke. I laugh in his general direction.

Whenever Dennis is on with Galloway and company, they are usually making fun of the guy. With a nickname of Radio-boy, how seriously can Dennis be taken.
