Do the Cowboys owe the Vikes an apology?

Looks like with the lack of drama around Cowboys camp, and videoboardgate losing steam, BSPN has turned it's tabloid journalism towards the Vikings with their standard "divided locker room" story.

I apologize for :horse:, but they are really losing focus as a sports network. It's seams like it's either Yankees, Red Sox and negative about everything else.

It's all about Favre and their coverage of him did not just happen this season because they don't have the Cowboys to pick on.

So no the cowboys don't owe anyone an apology and it has nothing to do with the cowboys and everything to do with...Favre.

There seems to be a large segment who likes negative views we have them here as well.

BSPN owes the entire country an apology for the past 20 years of tabloid journalism. :bang2: :bang2: :bang2:

Without a doubt. The way they target people personally is a disgrace, whether there is a "market" for this negativity or not.

No apologies necessary. Childress, Favre, and the Vikes get what they deserve. It's about time the media knocks on someone elses front door.

Besides our jumbo HD screen at Cowboys Stadium, the media doesn't have much else to go on regarding the Cowboys.

The Vikings 'divided locker room' is the same bunch of BS that Mr. Blue Suit pulled with Owens being jealous of Romo and Witten's relationship.

But I believe what has happened with Favre and the Vikings is the media, particularly BSPN and Peter King (who are two huge parts of the NFL media), are angered by Favre because he's been a source of theirs for years and with him lying about his retirement, he's made them look bad.

So they take it out on the Vikings because as Peter King put it, they've been 'enablers' to allowing Favre to comeback to the league.

You would think that their boss would see some possible conflict of interest and would make sure that if they are reporting this garbage that they would be very detailed, thorough and diligent so they don't look like they have an axe to grind. Instead, being accurate and factual takes a backseat to their vendetta. (At least --- to my knowledge --- King hasn't reported BS stories like BSPN and has just criticized the Vikes for taking Favre).

Owens is a ratings grab who behaved and showed up Mr. Blue Suit by refusing to answer any of his questions for weeks. Favre is a ratings grab who was a big time source for the media who made them look bad when he 'un-retired.' The big difference here will be the local media. Dallas' local media would just add fuel to the fire. Minnesota's local media will undoubtedly support Favre, unless he stinks up the joint with his play.

It is just a matter of time until they put their focus on the Cowboys.

The Vikings signed Farve and the Eagles signed Vick. Not because they needed them, but because they saw that Jerry dropped most of the baggage and figured maybe. Just maybe they could get their teams in the news this season. Of course, they knew they had to compete with the new stadium. They just didn't realize that the new video board was going to be as big a deal as it is. :laugh2:

Exactly. We'd have to apologize for the Walker trade if we didn't win some
SBs

The Vikes locker room will forget about this if the team wins. Unfortunately
ESPN will have to eat some crow if Favre is successful.

Personally, I like Favre.
