BSPN running an entire segment called the "tarnished star"

[DallasEast]

He is more likely now than ever to be shamed...the reason? Age.

Age would be more of a factor of him being more apathetic now than during any other time in his life. There is an old saying that is more often true than not: "You become more set in your ways the older you get."

I wish I could like another team. If you know how to do that, let me know.

It starts with not posting on cowboyszone anymore.

 

[Gameover]

This is purely a ratings grab. Will they have a story on the two suspenders Steelers? Of course not!

The Cowboys are one injury plagued season removed from a 12-4 record. The Cowboys had the 8th best record in the sports from 2005-2014, despite the whinnying from spoiled fans and a deceiving media, the Cowboys have been a solid football team for a decade.

Let's take another flag ship franchise: The Miami Dolphins haven't won a Super Bowl since 1973! They haven't been to one since 1984! They haven't seen a title game since 1992! They've been pretty bad the last 10/12 years. Will there be a 'how far the Fish sunk' features on ESPN, si, first take, PTI, Twitter? Of course not. Nobody will sit around and circle jerk about the Dolphins plight.

Add the Commanders to that list as well. They'll mock little Danny but they'll never get the Cowboy treatment.

How far has ESPN fallen?I Haven't watched a non live sports event in 5 years! One of the best decisions I've made!

Anything that rubs Jerry's nose in it, I support. I don't have a problem with the segment because it's true.

Read the above posts about how much the team is worth. Therefor the money that Jerry is making off them.

Jerry couldn't care less what they say about the team and their tarnished star. Anyone who thinks this is rubbing Jerry's nose in it are only hoping so for their own gratification.

Jones doesn't care about what ESPN thinks. Or what you think. Or what I think.

Money is what he cares about. And money is what he's making lots of with this 'tarnished' franchise.

" despite the whinnying from spoiled fans and a deceiving media, the Cowboys have been a solid football team for a decade".

I like to think of us as higher standard fans. And this second comment in red belays my point completely. There is nothing remotely satisfying or acceptable in being a "solid football team".

And how convenient for you to include the 12-4 season but leave out the 4-12 one. Are you really pleased with the results of this team?

It's not about loving or hating the decisions made by the FO...this thread is about how a national news outlet smears the Cowboys in an attempt to pick up some cheap ratings.

Its much different to be critical of your brother than to sit and listen to an outsider being overly critical of your brother.

It's not smearing the Cowboys. Jerry had done enough of that.

I don't give a damn about no friggin standards. We are what we are: A solid football team.

I didn't leave out anything. I noted we were one injury plagued season removed from 12-4. Why do you wear the 4-12 badge more proudly than the 12-4 badge? It's because Cowboy fans love nothing more than wollowing in their own self pity.

I clicked like because I mostly agree with you but I would say that Jones cares about money and winning his way. The problem is that winning his way hasn't paid off (pun intended) for him as much as he and fans would have hoped for.

I don't watch espn havnt for along time and nfl network either.

I see the team for what it is. A 4-12 mess without Tony Romo. And since Romo is an injury prone, old QB, that doesnt bode well for the future or the present. Do you see something different?

I have no interest or pride in being a solid football team.

Go right ahead. Enjoy your pity party

 

[FLcowboy]

If you dont hate the way the FO is running the Cowboys than I have to question that. Honestly, if you dont get upset, then your heart isnt in it.

Agreed. Three players on drug suspensions, last year a woman abuser. Holes in the defensive backfield for the last several years. I'll concede Jerry has built an offensive line that may be the envy of most teams, but questionable quarterback backup could again be the Achilles heel.

 

[AsthmaField]

At this point any Cowboys coverage on ESPN is closer to a vendetta than any actual reporting.

Ridiculous.

 

[Virginia-Dave]

#1 sports franchise in the world.
Value: $2.1 Billion

Not that it makes thing better from the fans point of view, but according to Forbes(July 13, 2016).......

"NFL franchises make up 27 of the 50 most valuable sports teams in the world, including the Dallas Cowboys, who rank first with a value of $4 billion"

The team will probably be worth another billion a year from now, thanks to the Star. As long as Jerry is making his money, nothing will ever change.

 

[AsthmaField]

No clue what you are talking about, been anti Jerry since he was caught fondling teenage strippers.

There is nothing wrong with that... Oh, I see... you're just using it as a reference point.

 

[AsthmaField]

Why? Because it's true?

Which NFC East team are you a fan of?

 

[pacy]

Haters. Embrace it.

I got a like from Hostile. That made my day.

The NFL is a league where every transaction is important for your team to have solid starters, solid depth and a healthy locker room culture.

Some of the best moves are not splashy moves...

Sometimes letting go of players one year early is better than restructuring and holding onto them too long...

Desperation player acquisitions can significantly hurt a team's chances to succeed...

This front office over and over, over the last twenty years has shown, in critical junctures, it's inability to gauge the value of players from draft prospects to veterans with expiring contracts...

Boneheaded trades for the likes of Roy Williams... paying huge money to retain players with middle-of-the road pedigree like Marion Barber and Miles Austin...

Gambling in the draft on injured players, handing out large contracts to older players... ex. Marco Rivera and Jay Ratliff...

Not properly planning for and grooming future quarterbacks...

Trading high draft picks for a player, Morris Claiborne, who they never had in for a pre-draft visit...

This front office has been learning on the job for the last 20 years and still manages to make the same mistakes over and over again...

... though somewhat less with Stephen Jones having greater influence...

They deserve the criticism... the evidence is there for it...

Why do you wear the 4-12 badge more proudly than the 12-4 badge?

I think you know the answer to that question... many people probably know it.
