I listen to both the Cowboys podcast and the one thing that always irritates me is alot of these guys arent even fans of the Cowboys. I mean would it be that difficult to find objective media guys that actually likes the Cowboys? Screw those guys they should go report for whatever sorry team they follow and quit pretending to like our team.

I just watched the podcast of today's show. Broadus was unreasonably argumentative with Derek Eagleton about Dak's performance. He even told Derek "you can get mad if you want to." All Derek was saying was that Dak has been impressive. Broadus kept interrupting him saying "look at the total body of work" (which Derek was IMO). Broadus kept saying that Dak has made mistakes in every game and Derek said that's true of 99% of all QBs. Broadus was being horribly unprofessional to the point where Nick and Taylor weren't their usual playful selves like they were trying to stay out of it. Derek kept drumming his fingers on the desk, but overall he handled it well. As the show went on, Broadus sat there with a sour look on his face, interjecting insightful comments now and then (I'll give him that). When the show ended, he hopped up immediately and walked out. He normally lingers for a little bit, at least longer than that.

In my opinion, Broadus is a short-tempered know-it-all, but today took the cake for me. I have no problem with heated conversation. It makes the show interesting. But I think it's time for Broadus to move on (or be let go) from The Break and stick to the draft shows or fantasy football type stuff. He is such a grump.
What do you think is his issue with the Dak situation: mad that Garrett got it right; upset that the anointing oil is spilling all over his khakis; mad because he's doing it without Dez? What is it?

He's the worst thing going for a long time. Has a whiny, annoying voice. And he does not know as much as some people are saying. He is wrong much more than he is correct. Just a terrible on air personality. Very pretentious, too.

Once again, it is not about his opinion.

It's not? Are we watching the same video? Are you going to waste my time telling me if he was arguing for Rayne that you'd still be on here demanding he be fired?

What exactly in that video warrants him losing his job?

Dak struggled a bit in that GB game but Aaron Rodgers was tons worse. Not sure if it was windy but both QB's struggled in that game, it was obvious something was up.

That's a good question. He did give Dak credit at times, but he seemed upset that Derek Eagleton was giving him credit. He even put words into Derek's mouth a couple of times. He kept saying Dak made mistakes in every game so maybe it's the annointing oil thing. I haven't heard anybody say that Dak never makes mistakes so I don't know where that comes from.

LOL. I'm embarrassed to share a team with some of you.

For the rational, watch the show. All he's saying is Romo's a better QB right now and Prescott misses throws every week.

Two statements that are without a doubt true.
so true...

I just watched the show and, although I think Broaddus can be rude, condescending, abrupt, and argumentative, I allow him some latitude given he is trained as a scout and not a radio/TV personality.

Hopefully you'll see the overall value he brings to the show and change your position on wanting him fired. :cool:

Disrespect for his boss. Most people get fired for that. Saying "I don't care if you get mad" was out of line, IMO. And no it's not about his opinion.

I was talking about yesterday's show. Haven't watched today's yet. And you're right, he does bring something to the table. I just think he went too far yesterday.

Broaddus used to have an account here and made a comment that a TD Dez appeared to score in preseason a few years ago should have stood because he had a foot in bounds. I told him you need 2 feet in bounds in the NFL and he said he knew that but that's not what he said. I quoted him and he never responded back.

:laugh:You might be on his ignore list, KJJ. I remember his username is scout, right?

I think Romo would no doubt open up this passing game a lot more, that would obviously lead to a lot more running room for EE, but I've got a feeling that Romo is never going to see the field for the Dallas Cowboys again as their starter.

Voice is better than some. Maybe annoying now and then.

He is definitely pretentious. I think most all of us would agree with that if pressed to be honest. I would definitely find him more likable if he chilled. Truly I would.

And we all know where this will lead with his career....No sports talk personality can afford to be arrogant and pretentious. I mean those guys like Stephen A and Skip B never get anywhere, right?

Successful talk personalities know to never get under anyone's skin.:rolleyes:

I do want to thank the OP...I wouldn't have tuned in w/out this thread.

Yes, yesterday's show. I have the app on my phone and can watch at my leisure.

I don't think he went too far but I do think he lacks common courtesy/manners.
