When such an admired/hated an organization as the Dallas Cowboys tumble it's much more newsworthy than when an organization such as the Browns remain mired in their anonymity. This team has a long, proud history of producing winning football teams and it's surprising not to just the fans, but the media and the haters that this organization continues to stumble. The world expects those things from the Browns and Bills of the world, but not from the Cowboys. It's easy to blame the media for kicking a club when we're down, but that same media built this team up when we were on top. The Cowboys are newsworthy in large part because the organization seeks it out. The owner takes every opportunity to be in the media spotlight with his words or actions and wants the world to know it. Why does the media love Jerry Jones? If you stick a mic up to him, he's bound to say something outrageous sooner or later. The man is a walking sound bite and loves every moment of the attention.
The Cowboys throughout it's history has always won or loss by spectacular fashion and that makes for great entertainment. The Hail Mary, The Mad Bomber, The Catch, The Ice Bowl, Bounty Bowl, Jackie Smith's drop, Romo's INT's, Tony Dorestt's unbreakable 99yd run, Captain America, the NFL's All Time leading rusher, Funeral Wreaths, Leon Lett on Thanksgiving, Doomsday Defense and the list goes on. This team throughout it's history has always been entertaining no matter it's record and for that, we will always be newsworthy. This team has been 8-8 for three seasons but you won't find a more exciting or entertaining mediocre team. A team like the Cowboys, you either love or hate, you don't find much in between. This team is expected to be great from the world and when we struggle for this long, the detractors are going to laugh and revel in our misery. Are the Browns a laughingstock, sure, but it's the Brown's and not much is expected of them. More is expected of the Dallas Cowboys so when we fail, it's a bigger joke. Loved or hated, good or bad, we won't be forgotten.
