Why do y'all hate him so much? I rarely even see or hear him and in the offseason I don't at all.
I like to think of myself as a “realist fan” that can see both sides of a debate. My mind tends to be more optimistic because I don’t see enjoyment in being a pessimist.
That said.. I don’t hate Mickey, but he has a tendency to advocate to an unreasonable or irrational degree. He’s a homer for short. When criticism of the Cowboys was warranted..he tends to defend at all cost.
Example: he constantly defended the FO/Garrett for not bringing in competition at Kicker last year even though Brett Maher cost Dallas a game or two. His favorite line ab FA’s... “why do you think he’s available? Obvious if their former team thought they were good, they would have signed or kept him”..insinuating the player isn’t good, which is absolutely absurd. I’m sure most of us would have liked to retain Byron Jones, right?!
Fans couldn’t avoid him bc he was on ‘Talking Cowboys’ & ‘The Break’ podcasts at different times. He was the least favorite person on the show imo. The best thing DC media did recently, was to give him his own Podcast called ‘Micks Shots’. So, for those that can take his babbling, ego centric, know it all attitude.. well, you can still listen to him. (Side note: I could stand hearing him say “And by the way” 20 times a show)
Bottomline, I’m an optimistic fan and find Mickey very annoying and frankly his ego comes off a lil obtuse.
