Twitter: Broaddus done as Cowboy employee

[KingintheNorth]

He's been the Boys beat writer since the late 80's.

and just like Jerry the GM, Garrett the HC, and many others employed by Dallas, he would not be likely to find a similar position for any of the other 31 teams.

Jerry has surrounded himself with other frauds, that prop him up, are happy to be in the "big leagues", and don't question him or his decisions. Mickey has very much served as Jerry's chief minister of propaganda.

from Bill George's article Why Leaders Lose Their Way

Leaders whose goal is the quest for power over others, unlimited wealth, or the fame that comes with success tend to look to others to gain satisfaction, and often appear self-centered and egotistical. They start to believe their own press. As leaders of institutions, they eventually believe the institution cannot succeed without them.

The Leadership Trap
While most people value fair compensation for their accomplishments, few leaders start out seeking only money, power, and prestige. Along the way, the rewards—bonus checks, newspaper articles, perks, and stock appreciation—fuel increasing desires for more.

This creates a deep desire to keep it going, often driven by desires to overcome narcissistic wounds from childhood. Many times, this desire is so strong that leaders breach the ethical standards that previously governed their conduct, which can be bizarre and even illegal.

Broaddus was the kind of guy that I think I'd like to sit and watch a football game with. I hope he lands on his feet.

Having said that, he became the reason I stopped listening to the Talkin podcast--unlike when he was on Break and he seemed conscientious to regulate himself, on Talkin, he was so prone to dominating conversation. It got to be tedious. And it's not even like I enjoy listening to any one of the other three. But he would talk over people, and go on long orations, and it just got to be too much.

One can know football and also be a troll. We have a few of those around here.

Mickey isn't a troll.

 

[Hardline]

I didn't pay much attention to him to begin with so I won't miss him too much

lol. You sound paranoid.

Mickey is 100% party line. He never criticized the organization, ever. So therefore he will be gainfully employed indefinitely.

Dallas hasn't contended for a Super Bowl in 24 years yet Mickey thinks everything we have done is the right call during that time. How can that be? I'm not suggesting he bites the hand that feeds him, but to never question or challenge any of the provenly-wrong decisions that last two and a half decades and adamantly attack anyone who dares to question the Cowboys brings serious doubts about his integrity. He hides behind the monicker of being a journalist.

Five Core Principles of Journalism
1. Truth and Accuracy
Journalists cannot always guarantee ‘truth’, but getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. We should always strive for accuracy, give all the relevant facts we have and ensure that they have been checked. When we cannot corroborate information we should say so.

2. Independence
Journalists must be independent voices; we should not act, formally or informally, on behalf of special interests whether political, corporate or cultural. We should declare to our editors – or the audience – any of our political affiliations, financial arrangements or other personal information that might constitute a conflict of interest.

3. Fairness and Impartiality
Most stories have at least two sides. While there is no obligation to present every side in every piece, stories should be balanced and add context. Objectivity is not always possible, and may not always be desirable (in the face for example of brutality or inhumanity), but impartial reporting builds trust and confidence.

4. Humanity
Journalists should do no harm. What we publish or broadcast may be hurtful, but we should be aware of the impact of our words and images on the lives of others.

5. Accountability
A sure sign of professionalism and responsible journalism is the ability to hold ourselves accountable. When we commit errors we must correct them and our expressions of regret must be sincere not cynical. We listen to the concerns of our audience. We may not change what readers write or say but we will always provide remedies when we are unfair.

Mickey's title was changed to publicist, not columnist.

The link to that scathing 2013 post-season dust-ups between Bryan and Mickey (about Garrett) is now dead.

But here is another of my favorites from last year after the overtime loss to the Texans. Bryan went at him, didn't back down for 5 minutes and even called him and Garrett "a coward" for their lack of spine:

(Timestamped at 26:31 for the beginning...at 26:50, you could see Bryan roll his eyes and get ready for battle)

I remember this. Mickey sulked for the rest of the show.

This clears up it wasn’t Broaddus’ decision to leave and that he didn’t leave for another job.

I would bet significant $$$ that Mickey (or his agent) went and complained to Jerry immediately after that show.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Not even close. The Zeke contract is.

 

[JoeKing]

A troll? He's been the Boys beat writer since the late 80's. He knows football. You guys just hate his personality.

I agree. I like Mickey but the younger fans tend to think he is just a curmudgeon.

He says it WAS his decision.

 

[LocimusPrime]

On air fight?

 

[Parcells4Life]

Looks like he alludes to fighting with Mickey. Still don’t think DC.com forced him out. He’s too valuable for them to get rid of mid season unless it was behavior related. I can’t imagine his boss giving him glowing recommendation if it was behavior related.

He knows football. I like when he brings up recollections of those 90's SB teams.

Ooooh. Juicy

 

[Fontaine]

Damn, he was my favorite Cowboys podcast personality. Quite frankly the rest suck lol.

Really going to miss his take on everything. Wish him the best.
