Guys, some of you are simply too old not to know the difference between "Could care less" and "Couldn't care less". There is a DRASTIC difference between those two. Educate yourselves please!

Hey, were going to educate the Packers tomm in how to play football.

Can't wait for Romo to throw an incompletion in the 4th and hear everyone shout that he's a choker.

I could.

No, I lied. Big bad old media said something non positive about me boys!!! How can that NOT get...

No, I dont care either.

The point was the expression is I could not care less. Meaning I care as little as I am humanly possible. People make this mistake all the time. Because if i could care less that means I do care.

FYI, I don't care.

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...

Amen. I heard all week from bandwagon packer fans.

Not that I use the phrase, but I always thought I could care less was simply a sarcastic take on the literal version of I couldn't care less.

Anyone else sick of the woe is us, poor cowboys threads?

This board is full of them. Seriously.

All of the self pity is a lot more wearying than anything the media says or does. It must be exhausting lugging around all of that martyrdom constantly.

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.

NBC and ESPN have a dislike for oil rich Billionaires from Texas. Its not hard to understand at all.

Sometimes I think people just look for things to be upset about.

They do it all the time. Not only that but when they show great teams the Cowboys never get their due. That's ok though, as long as they win.

1.) If you are a team that. In it's history, goes to the playoffs a lot, then while there is much success there is also the likelyhood of some big losses.

2.) everyone including some real cowboys fans are waiting for the other shoe to drop. Expecting that game costing pick or fumble.

This team is different. I don't expect anything except that this is our year. Our destiny..., Romo's destiny/legacy.

It's amazing how often it happens, that when you parse every word everyone says to see if you can come up with something to be offended about, you find what you're looking for.
