Don't forget Timmy Mac.your point is wrong. There is less media covering the team now than ten years ago but these guys are treated completely different.
No one at these press conferences today are bringing the venom that Steve Dennis, Jen and Mac Engle, Calvin Watkins, Dale Hansen and Ed Werder brought about ten years or so ago. Those guys were made to be miserable everyday. Everyday for years it was complaining and creating ridiculous scenarios and questions at press conferences for the players and coaches.
as I have said a few times over the last two days when Garrett took over his demeanor was needed, things were nuts. Calvin Watkins in 2009 got into an argument with Wade Phillips at a press conference and responded by saying "I could have coached that team into the playoffs" in regards to the 08 team.
Demarcus Ware was constantly harassed because he wasn't a "Dog" or "Street" enough. Romo was harassed about singing karaoke in july in the offseason and who he was dating........Marion barber was given crap because he wasn't fast enough and was shy and didn't like talking to the media. I won't even bother with the Owens/pacman stuff of the time.
this current team has it made. people locally seem to have cowboys exhaustion.
I think Romo started giving the local media the cold shoulder around his 3rd or 4th year and they responded accordingly. I remember during Dak's rookie year, he had sitdown interview with Dale and he made it quip about talking to Dak more times during that training camp than he spoke to Romo in his entire career.
