Regarding the video he said something to the effect of "don't become that fan".

Backing up Werder of course, he said that the Plax story started with un-named sources too. And that the Enron scandal would have never broken if not for un-named sources. :rolleyes:

Of course the obvious discrepancy w/ the Plax v. TO stories is that Plaxico's incident was validated by a police investigation while Werder's TO story is still being validated with assumptions and lots of ifs and buts.

Comparing T.O.'s stuff to Enron is a little farfetched even for Colin Cowturd. No one is loosing their retirement over that...

An unnamed source told me that ESPN creates facts and says they were told by unnamed sources. Don't believe me? Enron and Plax stories were started by unnamed sources. :cool:

In his defense, he was giving us much love yesterday saying that we were playing as well as anyone in the league.

I don't think he is trying to compare the latest fiasco regarding Terrell Owens to Enron. Instead, I think he is just pointing out that unnamed sources are a big part of reporting and have been used in the past to break some of the biggest stories.

Plaxico Burress had a bullet in his leg so there was no shortage of evidence and no need to rely on any unnamed source. Cowturd insn't watching the Eastern media coverage obviously. They had actual photos of Burress within hours.

Enron info didn't break until wayyyyyy too late for it matter. So much for the "sources" there.

All the media sucking up and siding with their peers is so clearly biased it isn'ty even worth paying attention to.

I agree with that.

I know Cowboy Chris is a legend to some fans here, but I don't agree with what he did.

Werder was just doing his job.

Like the majority of the media and wanna-be media he is merely protecting his home turf.

You don't ask ANY union member to discuss right to work laws and expect any but a single take.

I wouldn't have heckled him but the guy does deserve to see that his stories effect people and his actions can have consequences for his own self. His stories impact the Cowboys job performance and security.

How many coaches have been run out of jobs by Media perception?

When a reporter uses a "remote" heckle essentially they can't cry about being heckled.

If there are actual unnamed sources within the Owens story, I have less respect for both Ed Werder and the so-called sources themselves. At best, this is an average story which Werder should been able to report without restrictions. As far as the sources themselves, if they were to read this, I would tell them this wasn't WaterGate, TravelGate or, heck, ScissorsGate. It would have been just another Terrell Owens story. Allow Werder to say who you are or don't relay your alleged "facts" in the first place. Everyone's neck was safe, including yours.

It's not damage control. He's been saying that for a while. He's said he doesn't think we'll win it all because we have a poor head coach and an undisciplined team, but even going back to the preseason he's said we're the most talented team. And after the Pitt game, he said we looked to have the toughness to match.

I pretty much agree with everything he said this morning.

TO can bash Werder and psycho Chris can yell in the street like a maniac, but the fact is that Peter King, the DMN, the FWST, Mosely and Werder were all reporting basically the same thing.

But fans would rather scapegoat a bunch of reporters than admit that one of our best players has the emotional stability of cowboy chris.

Tend to agree with you on all this.

Who is CowboyChris and does anyone have a link to the video he was in?

Edit: Was he the same guy yelling at Wade Phillips and many other players boarding the bus after one of the earlier games this year?

:clap:

I'm glad someone recognized the point of the comparison.
