FWST Blog: Another Change: Don't Talk to the Evil Media

..no..

Not surprised.

Not many are.

Funny how Wade has about 25 more years of experience than Mike Tomlin but much less freedom. Or should I say "tragic"?

At least Nors was wired East Coast football...

Actually, the policy went into effect once Jerry saw the depths that "journalists" would go. The "story" about players coming to his house was the last straw.

See here's where the "source" gives the gist of the directive and timing:

"According to a source, a memo was sent out to all coaches before the Senior Bowl last month stating that coaches were not to talk to the media."*

*Important parts bolded for easier comprehension.

The part in red is bolded for easier comprehension. Your claim of the "last straw" that led to the silence manifesto is crap. Hence it got flushed.

Per the part you bolded above it happened before the Senior Bowl, not after that article.

It honestly is not that hard.

 

[Hostile]

Was he as right as me, as often?

:zipit:

Pity he never understood what he was wired into though.

Oh, I guess you missed the part when I said I missed what he said about the Senior Bowl. I thought I made it clear I missed that.

But, feel free to keep cracking on something I already admitted to...

Your Google Image searches are one of my favorite things about this board.



It's so cool that Google Images exists so people with less wit and intellect can participate here too.

If you truly said that then your "source" response to my initial comment was really stupid.

Here's what I said:

Ahhh...

I missed that claim by a "source", thanks!

I guess that explains Garrett's and Stephen's TO "non-answers" now.

Glad we can put that silly speculation behind us.

Where's the confusion?

Really? It takes "wit and intelligence" to promulgate bizarre media conspiracy theories, or shamelessly side with our power-mad owner each and every time? Here's a vote for shallowness, then.

The thought has crossed my mind more than 100 times. There's definitely an annoying resemblance.

Nors was funnier. It got vicious towards him from time to time but he kept coming for more. this guy... well let me just follow suit with what's in vogue nowadays at VR and say no comment.

The head coach here is a complete joke.

After all the nonsense to install a gag order now, that includes the head coach is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

What a frigging joke.

since WP is also the the DC then he can't talk. it's the dual role that limits him.

Good job, Jerry. Let's blame this awful, disastrous season on the media now. Normally I would be in favor of a media shutdown, like what Parcells did when he was here. But this move strikes me as being punitive and vindictive in nature, and a blatant attempt to divert blame. It also strikes me as a panic move by an owner and HC who don't have any answers, don't have a plan, and certainly don't appear to know what they're doing. None, zippo, zilch, de nada. And after such a disastrous season, appearances are everything

The chain of blame as I see it, is, first comes Jerry, then comes Phillips, then comes the players in the baby carriage. The media? Well, I just don't see them in that chain. Yeah, sure, a lot of reporters carry pitchforks and make up stories to drum up publicity and then write crap about the team. Sure, journalistic integrity is pretty much non-existent. Hence shutting down the pipeline would normally be a good idea. But not in these circumstances.

It's way too sudden, and certainly not well thought out, considering the players and the paying fans need reassurance and more complete answers other than the mumbo jumbo one's Jerry's spewing out. Well, at least I need reassurance and better answers after spending a ton of money to watch the rise and then horrid fall of a super bowl bound team during the season. Not to mention, how much I paid to watch a completely unprepared team get blown right out of the playoffs in the last game, with a healthy set of players to boot.

So, my apologies in advance, Jerry, but I paid too much money last year to want to pony up more to watch this team fall on their keesters again in 2009 with the same crew at the helm. Unless there are drastic changes, I'll be watching da boyz from my couch.

When did he blame the media for last season?

 

[romo2witten]

I am glad that Jerry is trying to get everyone to shut up. All the media seems to do this day is twist anything that anyone says to try to create drama for this team.
