I know there are those who could care less and then there are those who care and then those who have started to pay attention to how these subtle jabs work. Once you know what to look for it will jump out of the televisions at you. So--

Just before kickoff, the network lead in promo to the Divisional Playoff game between New England and Baltimore opened with dramatic music with a VO (voice over) featuring moments from memorable Divisional games like the Music City Miracle.

Then, they expanded the highlights to playoff games - every shot was a playoff game. The Cowboys were part of three highlights. They were--

From the Divisional Game Highlights - Romo's botched snap.
From the Playoff Highlights - The Catch
One more highlight from the Playoffs - Roger Staubach on the sidelines with a towel over his head after a concussion.

Yes, the team with the most playoff wins of anybody in the NFL got those three shots, all three crushing Cowboy moments, not unexpected from NBC. But here' the best thing about it.

The Roger highlight is from a REGULAR SEASON game when he was knocked out by the Commanders on Thanksgiving Day. That's the Clint Longley game. It was the ONLY highlight that wasn't a playoff highlight.

Then I noticed on NBC's Pro Football Talk Twitter Mike Florio was getting hammered for writing an article today on Bart Scott saying something's fishy with the NFL after the Detroit call (yawn). NBC at it's finest and still mad because the Giants and Eli are out of it.

I wonder how much those that could care less, could care less.

As for me, I couldn't care less.

The Cowboys have always controlled the narrative. If they win then all this garbage goes away.

We won last week, and have been winning all season.
Seems to be escalating on NBC.

But yes, looking forward to tomorrow and dreaming of us continuing the roll.

Last week is not enough to counter all the losing.

I feel you on that if they lose tomorrow the season will still be a great success and if they win it will be even better in the end this team is on the rise.

The fact that PFT chose NOT to post an article about how the league admitted to 7 missed calls against the Cowboys is very telling. Crystal clear agenda.

Yahoo Sports did finally run this story on like Thursday.

Similar to NBC...I love how people are coming into the store I work at and making it a point of telling me how bad Green Bay is going to beat my Cowboys...or, if Dallas somehow gets past GB, that Seattle will beat the crap out of them...Well, I say this, all that BS sounds like fear to me...what those people are really saying is that they hope like hell Dallas can be beaten...I got bad news for them all...Dallas is back and I believe this is the Cowboys year...Lombardi #6 coming up and their ain't a damn thing all those haters can do about it...
