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.
